You have two options: the old thing you are great at, which is proven and working, but you are bored, or the new thing that excites you, feels fresh, but is risky, and you don’t have as much experience.

In today's episode, you will learn why coaches spend 10 months trying to figure out what works and how to get that answer in 10 weeks. Tom breaks it down simply by picking one and going all in, because the fastest way to fail isn’t choosing the wrong niche, but trying to do both at the same time.

You’ll Learn How To:

  • Choose between a proven niche and a new passion
