Hey, you made it! Great!
I remember when I first heard the term, "business model." It sounded like something reserved for only really smart people with masters degrees in business.
A few Google searches confirmed my fear: a business model is apparently a really long document in small Times New Roman font that uses fancy words and acronyms to describe concepts I've never even heard of before.
However, when I started my third business, Video Creators, I quickly found that I needed...
- Some way of understanding how all the moving parts of my business worked together and generated revenue.
- A way to test my new ideas and see how they may or may not be profitable.
- Something to show me why my business was struggling and what to do about it.
That's when someone introduced me to the book, Business Canvas Generation, and it changed everything for me.
Unlike most other boring business books, this one was mostly a lot big pictures with colorful fonts, charts, and practical examples. I finally understood what a business model was and how to use it to grow my creator business without needing to spend a crazy amount of time getting an M.B.A. or writing long documents. I could do it all visually on just one sheet.
Since then, I've coached many other creators to use the Business Model Canvas. In fact, it's one of the first things I often tackle with new creators I coach because it often unlocks new "ahh-ha" moments when creators finally understand how their business actually works instead of just how they assume it works.
We don't have to be in a coaching relationship in order for you to experience something similar.
👉 First, click here to download a PDF of the Business Model Canvas. Print it out so you can write all over it.
👉 Then click here to watch my walk-through video. I'll show you...
- What a business model is.
- The two business models you're probably using and why they're both broken.
- A third business model that actually makes more money and serves your audience better than ever before.
- How to execute that better model with the Business Model Canvas.
- What my first canvas looked like for Video Creators when I drafted it in 2013.
In the walk-through video I also provide plenty of practical examples that directly relate to what you're doing on YouTube with your creator business and clarify some common points of confusion creators have along the way in planning for a profitable business.
Be sure to pause the video while you work through the steps of modeling out your own business plan. Don't just watch the video and think, "Ok, yeah. I see what you're doing there," and keep going. Actually do it. I want to see your business grow. I want you to achieve new milestones. I want you to reach more people with your message and change their lives. I also want the result of all that hard work to change your life, your family's life, and the lives of all the people around you. So actually do it, ok? Cool.
I can't wait to see what you put together! Feel free to take a picture or scan your canvas when it's done. Email me tim@timschmoyer.com!
Thanks! Keep changing lives!
