Why I’m Stopping Business Advice (And What’s Coming Next)
Good things on the horizon
My membership site has taken off. The success of it has created some interesting dilemmas though.
Granted, these are good problems to have, but I need to find some solutions. So I’m making some changes that I think will be best for everyone. Today, I will list these changes in hopes to clarify everything in my mind, as well as clarify things for you.
Here we go.
1. I’m Chilling Out On The Business Advice
I always knew this was the end goal. I’m grateful that I have this audience as a way to generate sales and attention towards The Launchpad, but that was never the true purpose of timstodz.com.
If you noticed, I stopped publishing for a few weeks. This was because I felt I needed to reset. I had spent the last 6 months creating business content and it was getting to the point where I would wake up in the morning and almost dread writing my newsletter.
That’s not good. That’s not why I do this. I do it to express myself and to share my experience in hopes of helping you.
I love writing business content and I never want it to feel like a chore. I fully intend to continue writing about business, marketing, and sales, but I also need to step back and stop taking it so seriously.
This brings me to the next change.
2. The Machine Method Is Now A Weekly Newsletter
I’ve created (I still need to finish 2 more lessons) a free course and a free community. The free course is where you can learn The Machine Method and learn the flywheel I’ve used over and over again to create companies.
It’s always the same thing …
A high ticket service business
A media and content strategy that builds an email list
A directory that creates leverage and scale
Learning The Machine Method is free.
When you sign up for the free community, you will also receive a free weekly newsletter.
It is this newsletter that I will be diligent about creating to help you grow a company, build an agency, create a newsletter, and build a directory. This is where I will promote The Launchpad and Sales Training.
3. Tim Stodz Media Is Official
I’ve spoken about it at length. Now it’s funny in effect.
Tim Stodz Media has been incorporated. In addition, I have the team and the strategy in place. Here’s how it works.
First, I will do my best to publish 3 videos a week. I want to publish …
Build Your Empire (these are the videos you’re familiar with, where I share my screen and teach online business)
Conversations (short form podcast style interviews)
Office Hours (where I answer questions submitted to me inside The Machine Method community)
Also, all my social media will now funnel traffic to The Machine Method as opposed to TimStodz.com.
In Summary, It’s Time To Separate Business From Creativity
Personal brands are like this.
It takes extreme discipline and focus to fully dedicate your personal brand to building a business. The reason is obvious, people are not businesses. We are complex and nuanced and complicated and weird.
So I am taking my name back. I’m grateful that I had this audience and this asset available to me so that I could get my first six figures in sales for The Machine Method.
However, now that I’ve built momentum, I’m taking it back.
Love you guys. Talk to you tomorrow.
Tim
