I recently had the chance to switch roles and become the guest on Kwadwo Sampany Kessie's podcast The Art of Online Business. In our conversation, I shared the evolution of my business, my approach to simplifying offers, and how YouTube has played a major role in generating high-quality leads. I also gave a detailed look at my current business model, including my high-ticket coaching program, low-ticket membership, and YouTube course.

We dove into the emotional challenges that come with entrepreneurship, especially during those frustrating revenue plateaus, and the strategy shifts I have made along the way. If you are interested in building a sustainable business, using YouTube to attract better leads, and maintaining a healthy balance between work and growth, this is an episode you will not want to miss!
