About this episode:

When we talk about building businesses, we don’t usually throw the word sustainable in, but we all know that’s what we mean when we talk about building a 7-figure business.

Our goal is to not continually trade our time for dollars in our businesses. We want to build a business that allows us the freedom and income we desire without being chained to the computer or having our business so dependent on us that we can never get away.

That’s why I am so excited to bring you today’s episode all about the key elements to building a successful and SUSTAINABLE online business!

This is a two-part series. Today’s episode covers the 5 key elements to building a sustainable business, and next week, I’m going to walk you through step-by-step how to put it all together and in the right order to create and scale your online business!

In this episode, we cover:

• Why mindset is so important to your business success
• The power of understanding your ideal customer
• The one thing you must absolutely have to build a sustainable business
• How to get in front of your ideal customers the right way
• The secret to getting paid month after month
