Tropical MBA: Entrepreneurship & Founder Lifestyle
Business:Entrepreneurship
In this episode Dan uncovers The Ultimate TMBA Business: a productized service business built on a skill set.
Tom Kent started his business based on a very specific skill set of his: he was good at getting jobs. Now Tom is the founder and CEO of Career Nerds, a 7-figure productized service that he’s doubling every year because of his precise lead generation strategies and very clear goals.
In this episode, Tom gives us a roadmap for turning a skill into a powerful productized service business. Plus, how he avoids the distraction of other target markets and opportunities and stays focused on his goal.
