Have you ever felt like every business "guru" is shouting about one perfect strategy—the magic formula for hitting $10K months? But no matter what you try, nothing seems to stick?

Yeah, I’ve been there too. When I started my legal templates business eight years ago, I kept hearing that I had to run my webinar live first before making it evergreen. But life had other plans—my dad was sick, and I simply didn’t have the time. So, I went against the advice of all the experts and launched my webinar as evergreen right away. And guess what? It worked.

Now, eight years later, that little funnel has generated over $8 million. So, let’s bust the myth that there’s only one right way to build a successful online business.

This is Part 2 of The Happy Trap series, where I’m diving into why chasing a perfect formula holds so many entrepreneurs back.

In this episode, you’ll hear…

• Why the idea that there’s only one right way to grow a business is a total myth
• The four things that actually create a successful online business (hint: it’s not the latest trending strategy)
• How to filter out the noise from business gurus and trust your instincts
• Why marketing positioning and differentiation matter more than any specific strategy
• How to experiment, track what works, and stick with it long enough to see results
