Why would someone buy your course if there is so much information available for free? This is probably the number one question I get from students. And it's a logical one given how much amazingly helpful information is out there for free with just a single Google search.

But that's simply not true. Today I'm breaking down the 3 key reasons why people will happily pay for your premium online course or membership, even with the proliferation of solid free content.

Ep 61: 3 Qualities Every Entrepreneur Needs To Be Successful Jun 23, 2020

Show notes

I always thought there was one defining quality of a successful entrepreneur - a high risk tolerance.

To me, every successful business owner I had known or read about did something risky and seemingly was unafraid the whole time.

So a scaredy-cat like me wasn't going to make it in business. I didn't like the unstable nature of freelance work when I tried it early on so I figured entrepreneurship wasn't for me.

I couldn't have been more wrong.

Turns out a high risk tolerance isn't necessary for being successful. And in fact, there are OTHER more important qualities that DO lead to success. Three to be exact.

Today I'd like to share all three with you. And the good news? You can learn these qualities even if they don't come naturally.
