You asked me 171 questions at our SCORE "One Person Empire" webinar

A few weeks ago, at the SCORE webinar you attended, something happened that I have not stopped thinking about. You asked me 171 questions. I only had time to answer maybe a dozen.

And when I went back and read the rest of them, I noticed something. Almost nobody was asking me for more information.

They were asking what to do next.

• "I created everything perfectly, but felt like I failed due to no sales."

• "How do you deal when you have many ideas but you do not know how to put them all in action without getting overwhelmed?"

• "What should be built first: the offer, the audience, the sales pipeline, the tech stack?"

Those are not information problems. We can all find information. It is free and there is too much of it. Rather, these are the questions of somebody standing at a fork in the road with nobody to ask.

I know that spot. I have been in it.

Here is the story I tell about it: Back in the day, I had a law practice that did so well that I decided to open a second office in San Francisco, about an hour up the road.

It was a complete disaster.

Of the four businesses I have started, it is the only one that went entirely south. And the reason was not the market or the timing or the economy. The reason was that I knew next to nothing about running a remote office and I did not ask a single person who did. I just winged it. I was cocky . . . and stupid.

Now compare that to TheSelfEmployed.com, my best business.

That one took off because, while I was doing it mostly solo, I had help. I ended up getting tons of sponsors for that site and eventually sold it to Zen Business and Mark Cuban.

But the thing is, I was the same guy as the second law office guy. Same work ethic. Same skills.

The difference was help.

Which brings me to this Thursday. This Thursday, September 3, at 7pm Eastern, I am opening a hot seat room. It is free, and you are invited.

It is not a webinar. I am not going to talk at you for an hour and then thank you for your time.

You take the chair. You tell me what you are building, or where you are stuck, or ask which of your three ideas is the best one. And we work out what you should actually do about it. Right there, together, in front of everybody.

You will learn as much watching me work through somebody else's business as you will from your own turn. Half of what you take home will come from a problem that was not yours.

Now, one piece of housekeeping, and I would rather be straight with you than clever about it.

While the room is going to be free and open to all, I have no idea how many of you are going to show up, so I cannot promise every person a turn in the chair.

What I can do is this. Anyone who joins the One Person Empire Accelerator this week gets a guaranteed seat in the hot seat. Everybody else is welcome in the room, but no promises.

And if you think I am trying to incentivize you to sign up for the One Person Empire Accelerator by guaranteeing you a personal, 1:1 hotseat spot, you’re right! 😇

SIGN UP FOR THE ACCELERATOR HERE.

About the Accelerator, briefly

It starts the following Thursday, September 10. Four live sessions with me, Thursdays at 7pm Eastern, ninety minutes each.

Together, we will build the five parts of your business

1. A business you love

2. An offer they love

3. Multiple profit centers

4. A crazy-reliable way to get customers

5. And a foundation that lets one person run the whole thing without drowning.

We are keeping the actual program pretty small, so as to ensure everyone gets plenty of 1:1 attention, so spots are limited.

The folks already signed up had their own free bonus hot seat a few weeks back. It was supposed to run ninety minutes. We went three hours, and nobody left.

The cost is $397, with a full money-back guarantee. Show up, do the work, and if it is not for you I refund you. No forms, no hoops.

Join the Accelerator

Join before Thursday at 7 and the chair is yours that night.

Either way, come Thursday. It is free!

Steve
