Show notes

A lot of businesses (including ours) that are more focused on launches and large influxes of cash in a short time are paying the price during this pandemic. Thankfully, last year we learned from my friend Stu McLaren how to create recurring revenue. This consistent, monthly revenue is sustaining us through this challenging time. So I asked him to share with you why there has never been a better time to start creating recurring revenue with his favorite method, a membership site.

Pat Flynn: How to Turn a CRISIS Into Massive Opportunity Apr 14, 2020

Show notes

I am so excited to share a special interview with the one and only Pat Flynn. This interview was recorded on April 10, 2020, the same day that deaths in the United States peaked from COVID-19. During this crazy time we're going through as a country and as a global society, many people have suddenly lost jobs, had their income go up in smoke, and are living in a fearful state. But there is hope. And I wanted to have Pat on to share what HE did back in 2008 when he lost his job and the economy was in shambles. What he went through (and I went through at the same time) is not much different than what we're going through today. He got through it. I got through it. We all got through it then. And we will get through this difficult time today as well.
