Everyone can start a business.

If you solved a problem in your life before, you're qualified to start one.

If you're into self-improvement, starting a business is the next step in your evolution.

Self-improvement is about solving your own problems.

Business is about solving other people's problems.

The problem is most people's idea of "business" is outdated.

They think it's the fancy logo, a website, ads, vision, mission, big marketing and sales teams, office space (for god knows what), a personal assistant, a receptionist, and a million other things that aren't them doing business.

Let me simplify what business is for in two words: traffic and offer.

That's it.

You get traffic from social media. You create offers from problems you have already solved in your life.

This is the new way of doing business.

The old way is outdated, slow, and only works if you have a big budget to start with.

The new way of doing business is solving your own problems, creating content that attracts people to your brand, and making a creative income while only needing to work 2-4 hours a day.

Thanks to the internet and AI, new ideas spring to life, new solutions to old problems have been created — anyone can increase their value in society through self-education, turn themselves into a brand, and start attracting opportunities to them.

Ask your parents if they can create a simple website, a page where they can upload their product, and a way to accept payments for $10-$50 and self-education.

Then tell me why you still hold the belief that you need X, Y, Z to start a business.

These aren't valid excuses anymore.

This takes years to fully understand, so I'll repeat it again:

If you solved a problem in your life before (no matter how small it is), you are more than qualified to start a business.

Do you realize the opportunity you have, or do you still think "this is something for people more successful than me?".

Truth is, you can start one now.

Not in 1 year when your skills are perfect.

Now.

And not any business.

A micro business.

One that supports you, your goals, and your ideal lifestyle.

You have lived 20-35 years of unique experience.

That's what my analytics tell me who my audience is. With a few outliers who are 40-50… I see you ;)

It's freaking awesome to see you reading this.

The problem is you don't see value in the life you've lived.

You think your life is too boring — at least too boring to be able to build an audience and profit off of — which is funny because I used to think the same until I started writing on social media.

Do you realize that there are thousands of people who would love to hear what you have to say, what you do for a living, and why you do it?

People don't think it's boring, if anything, it's inspiring to them.

An even bigger problem (than not seeing the value of your lived experiences):

You don't know how to communicate your experiences in a way that people can find value in.

That's what social media is all about.

Effective communication.

This is why writing is so crucial — it teaches you how to effectively communicate your ideas and make your interests interesting.

It's not about being interesting, it's about learning what makes your words interesting to the other person.

It's how you get people interested in the things you love.

Some people fake it and lie, but that's their problem. Not yours or mine.

What is The Micro Business Model?

This is the only business model that takes human development and lifestyle into account.

The micro business is for those who see the value in self-education, self-reliance, independence, location freedom, time freedom, and not being put into a box.

We use:

• Social media to build leverage, attract like-minded people, and build a name for yourself (from nothing)

• No-code tools, software, and AI instead of employees to build digital real estate, product hosting, and email lists (these are things no platform can take away from you)

• Lifestyle design to create a work schedule that best suits you — usually 2-4 hour work days in the morning (or late at night), sometimes you work more when you get into flow

It's an incredible time to be alive.

The internet has given everyone the ability to start their own business, choose their working hours, and earn an income around their interests.

When done correctly, the micro business model has no saturation.

There are no two people who have the same interests, the same view of life, the same experiences, the same solutions, the same philosophy on living life. And as you evolve and experience more, no two people will be interested in the same parts of reality that they gained awareness of (through action and doing).

You need to understand that a micro business can only serve so many people at once. You cannot possibly serve everyone by yourself. The other micro businesses help you.

The micro business is the best option for 95% of people (especially if you're a beginner). Every single billion-dollar founder started their journey with 2 things:

An idea and themselves.

They didn't start with a billion-dollar company. But we tend to believe what we see and limit ourselves from seeing beyond what's on the surface.

Why Micro Businesses Fail

• You don't believe that' it's possible or that you don't have enough experience

• You don't realize that there are 5.1 billion people on social media and 99% of them are beginners and can learn from you

• You don’t realize that every single aspect of your business is a skill that needs to be improved (you will suck at the beginning but so does everything new that you do)

• You don’t listen to feedback or think you’re too good for mentorships and learning from others (I'm guilty of this one)

• You hit a plateau and don't realize that the only way out is self-education, skill acquisition, and iteration

• You give up too early and don't realize that success doesn't come in the same timeframe you'd like it to (there's always lag between your efforts and your success)

• You lose momentum because you try to overcomplicate your message to seem unique, intelligent, and over the top (when all you need to do is be authentically yourself)

I can keep going, but the lesson here is that you must value self-education, continuous learning, and self-reliance.

You have to develop agency and realize that no one is going to hand you a paycheck every Friday.

You must learn to become independent.

How To Start A Micro Business

The biggest killer is people thinking business is not for them, or that they don't have the experience to start one.

First, stop thinking of it as business. Start seeing it as a way for you to help people. It's just an exchange of value. You give something of value, and people give you something back. Ideally, if you want to make a real impact on the world, you charge money for it.

If you can't make money, you can't do it for the long-term and your dreams of helping people will quickly die.

Drop your charitable act.

Acting selfless to feel good about yourself is just another version of being selfish.

If you've helped your family or friends with any topic before, you have enough experience.

Also, how else do you think you gain experience?

I'll tell you one thing: you don't gain experience by sitting on the sidelines watching people. You gain experience by getting in the pitch and getting your hands dirty.

You gain experience by practicing your skills in a real-world setting.

If a beginner can learn the basics of a skill, reach out to people, land a freelancing gig (gain experience) in exchange for money, why can't you post something valuable on the internet and do the same thing?

Your imposter syndrome is holding you back — the only way to get rid of it is by doing the thing and proving that voice wrong time and time again.

2 paths you can start with:

Path 1) Topic Based

This is the most common path people take.

• Learn a skill

• Sell the skill

• Teach the skill

This is great to get the ball rolling. But you end up being one-dimensional. You put yourself in a box, which makes it hard for you to later pivot from. You become a slave to client work (not good). This path doesn't allow you to evolve and grow. I see it all the time with people. They start off freelancing. They send cold emails, they get referrals, they start making a decent income but when human nature kicks in and the itch to go and explore something new keeps getting bigger, you start from scratch all over again.

With this path you only focus on one skill and become the best at it (which makes you prone to being replaced by AI).

This is why I prefer the second path…

Path 2) Mission Based

This is more of my type.

It's based around the 4 eternal markets.

This is where all the burning and profitable problems exist.

• Health

• Wealth

• Relationships

• Happiness

The first path only looks at wealth and disregards the others. You only learn marketable skills and help people make more money.

By default, this puts you in a box and makes you replaceable.

With path 2, you quite literally go on a mission (this becomes your brand). You choose something to chase and educate people on (content ideas). Find problems in your life and solve them (content and pain points) and you create a step-by-step system for other people to follow (offer).

Those who resonate with your message see you as a leader (and follow you), and those who don't won't follow you (which is fine, your message won't appeal to everyone,e and that's what makes it valuable).

You quite literally get paid to solve your own problems.

That is how you be yourself, improve yourself, and profit off of yourself.

You are guiding people towards an ideal lifestyle that you have.

"But I'm still just a beginner."

So?

It's not like you're writing "How to make your first $1M" content.

If anything, people are sick of it.

We're past the stage of making extreme promises, fake urgency, and fake lifestyles.

When everyone is trying to become extreme, average is sexy.

You're sharing things that you've done and have seen results with. And there's nothing wrong with it or fake about it.

My bootcamp — The Modern Creator — I'm promising 1,000+ followers and 1,000,000+ views every month.

The reason I made this promise is that these are things I know I can deliver.

Just in the last 7 days I gained 673,000+ views.

When you know you're making a promise that you can deliver, then all doubt melts away.

Path 3) Do Both

When you start a micro business, it is on you to learn the necessary skills to make it work.

You will have to learn how to capture, hold, and convert attention. You will have to learn how to create a compelling bio, profile picture, persuasive content, and make your interests interesting for other people.

And of course, the one skill to rule social media:

Audience building

Which is the foundational skill for any success on social media (that I teach inside The Modern Creator).

As you talk about your journey towards reaching your goals, you will learn new skills through real-world feedback (by building your brand).

Then you will have skills that you can sell to help other brands do what you did.

You can create an offer in place to help people do it themselves.

Your brand evolves with time.

In one or two years, you won't just have one monetizable skill, but you'll have a variety of skills to offer and help people with.

You can package them, put them in bundles, or sell them individually. The only thing holding you back is your perception of what's possible and self-limiting beliefs.

If you don't see the opportunity, it's because you aren't in the game. Your mind can't register or notice the opportunities that are right in front of you.

But you will pick them up once you walk through the door.

Thank you for reading and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

P.S.

The Modern Creator Bootcamp starts next week.

I'm helping a small group of people start their own micro business that supports their ideas and lifestyle.

So if you're a beginner and want to start your own micro business, this is the time to join.

Won't be running it again.

See you inside the boot camp.
