• 0:03
  Speaker 1: being your own boss, calling the shots, maybe even working
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: in your pajamas.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Ah, the allure of the online empire. It's a common.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Dream, it really is, And today we are diving deep
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: into borhad your own's guide como impisada and brenderikia unkoso online?
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Is this it'll which for those who don't speak Spanish,
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: translates to how to start a business and create an
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: online business from scratch exactly.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: And while the title might seem well a tad broad,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: there's a lot packed in there. It really is. But
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: don't worry. We're here to break it down, sift through
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the noise, and uncover a clear roadmap to online success.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: And I have to say, one of the things I
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: appreciate most about Jeron's approach is that he doesn't just
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: jump right into website builders and marketing funnels.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: He goes deeper, much deeper.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: He starts with you with your mindset, mindset.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm intrigued, but also maybe a little skeptical. I mean,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I get it, positive thinking and all that, but how
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: does that translate to actual results in the online business world.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Well, imagine this, you decide to open your dream restaurant.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm falling.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: You wouldn't just rent a space, throw some tables down
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: and hope people show up, right, No, of course not.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you'd have a plan, a menu of vision.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Exactly, And that's the comparison to your own makes He
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: wants you to approach your online business with the same
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: level of seriousness, the same long term vision, the same
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: dedication you'd put into opening that dream restaurant.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: So it's about ditching the get rich quick mentality precisely.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: He wants you to think about building something sustainable, something
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: you're passionate about, not just chasing a quick buck.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Because, let's be honest, those overnight success stories we often
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: hear about, they're usually what years in the making.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Exactly, years of hard work, of resilience, of figuring things
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: out of trial and.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Error, and probably a few setbacks along the way.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Right, Absolutely nobody launches a perfect business straight out of
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: the gate.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Speaking of starting out, there's this other myth I think
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: trips a lot of people up and your own tackles
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: it head on, the idea that if you don't already
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: you have a massive online following, you're starting from.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Scratch, right, and you know, it's easy to fall into
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: that trap, especially when you see these influencers with millions
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: of followers.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: It can feel incredibly daunting, like trying to climb Mount
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Everest in flip flops.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: I love that analogy. But here's the thing. Geron argues
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: that you're never truly starting from zero. Think about it. Yeah, friends, family,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: former colleagues, maybe even online communities you're a part of, right,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: That's a network, a foundation to build upon.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: It's about leveraging those existing connections, tapping into those networks
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: and building from there exactly. That's such a powerful shift
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: in perspective. It's not about starting from scratch, it's about
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: starting from where you are with what you have. Okay,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: so you're in the right headspace, ready to ditch the
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: limiting beliefs, and you've got your network, or at least
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the beginnings of one. Where do you even go from there?
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: That's where Jeron really shines. He lays out ten different
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: online business models. You're practically spoiled for choice ten.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Wow, that is a lot to wrap your head around.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: It is, but that's the beauty of it. There's something
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: for everyone. He covers everything from starting a YouTube channel
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: to launching an e commerce store, building niche websites, affiliate marketing,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: even creating a paid newsletter.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: That's a pretty diverse range. I could definitely see how
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: someone might feel overwhelmed, though, I mean, where do you
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: even begin with so many choices?
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Oh? Absolutely, it's a common hurdle, and Juron totally guess it.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: He even acknowledges that the sheer volume of information out
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: there can lead to analysis paralysis.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Analysis paralysis.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: You know that feeling of being so overwhelmed with options
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: that you end up doing nothing at all.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Ah, I know it, Well, so how do we break
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: free from that? How do we cut through the noise
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and find that perfect path.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: That's where Jerown's personalized approach comes in. He guides you
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: through different scenarios based on your individual needs and your
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: current situation.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: So it's not a one size fits all approach.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Definitely not. For example, someone who needs to generate income
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: quickly probably shouldn't start by, say, building a complex online course.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that could take a while exactly.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Jeron's honest about the fact that entrepreneurship, more often than not,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: is a marathon, not a sprint. But he does provide
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: strategies for those needing to see some more immediate income.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, like, what kind of strategies are we talking about?
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: He suggests things like freelancing, utilizing skills you already have
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: for quick gigs. He even talks about getting a handle
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: on your personal finances to free up more resources to
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: pursue those passions.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: So it's about taking stock of where you are right
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: now and making smart strategic moves.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Exactly, you got to play the hand you're dealt, right.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Makes sense. What about someone who's maybe not looking to
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: quit their day job just yet, but they're interested in
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the side hustle just to test the waters.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: That's a great starting point. Giron encourages those folks to
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: think about ways to monetize their existing hobbies or passions.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: This is actually where his provocative question comes in. What
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: if you could live off your passion?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I love that?
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Right. He's not saying it's easy, but he's in encouraging
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: you to at least imagine that possibility.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: It's about finding that sweet spot where your skills and
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: interests in market demand align. You got it, all right.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: We've talked mindset, we've explored different business models, even touched
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: on personalized approaches, but let's get down to it. What
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: are some tangible steps someone can take, like right now
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: today to get this show on the road.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Well, Jeron's got a ton of practical advice, but if
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I had to pick one thing he really hammers home.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: It's the importance of creating a minimum viable product.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Minimum viable product. Okay, that sounds a little jargony for
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: those of us who aren't you know, tech.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Wizards, fair enough, think of it this way. It's the simplest,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: most bare bones version of your idea that you can
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: put out into the world a test run, basically before
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: you invest a ton of time and energy into something
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: that well, your audience might not even want.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: So instead of spending months building the perfect website or
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: writing the ultimate ebook, you're saying, put something out there,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: get feedback, and then iterate.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Exactly validate that idea early on. And speaking of feedback,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Jerome's a huge proponent of market research.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Which makes sense right. You need to know who you're
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: talking to, what their pain points are.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, launching a business with out market research is like
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know, setting sale without a map or compass.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: You need to understand your target audience, their needs, desires,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: what solutions are they already using? And how can you
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: differentiate yourself? What makes you stand out?
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Finding your niche providing real value. Okay, I'm with you.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: There was one piece of advice from Jerome that I
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: found really intriguing. He's adamant about building an email list
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: right from day one.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, most people don't even think about email
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: lists until they're ready to launch a product or service.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: But Jerome stresses the importance of starting early.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Why is that? What's the big deal with email lists?
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Because it's a direct line of communication to your most
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: engaged audience. These are the people who have actively raised
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: their hands and said, hey, I'm interested in what you
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: have to offer.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: So it's not just about throwing content into the void
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: and hoping it sticks. It's about cultivating those relationships, nurturing them.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: You got it. Oh and this might surprise you, but
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Jiron actually advises against going completely self employed too quickly.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Really, that seems kind of counterintuitive, doesn't it. I mean,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: isn't the whole point to be your own boss, set
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: your own hours.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: It is, but his reasoning makes a lot of sense.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: He wants you to have that financial cushion, that proof
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: of concept, before you go all in and make your
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: online venture your sole source of income.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: So test the waters before you jump in head first.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Exactly. It's about mitigating risk, setting yourself up for success
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: in the long run. And throughout the guide, he's constantly
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: pointing you to other resources, other tools, other experts. He's
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: like that encouraging friend who wants to see you succeed.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: He sounds great, So it's almost like having a personalized
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: roadmap guiding you toward the most relevant information for your goals.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: That's a great way to put it. And while he
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: provides tons of tactical advice, I think the most important
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: takeaway from your own is his emphasis on self awareness.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: So it's not just about picking some random business model
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: and copying what everyone else is doing, not at all.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: It's about really understanding what makes you tick, what unique
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: value you bring to the table, and then aligning your
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: actions with that vision.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Building something that not only generates income but also brings
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: you joy right, right, something that feels aligned with your values.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Exactly, And you know, as we wrap up our deep
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: dive into Jeron's guide, I think the key thing to
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: remember is that there's no magic formula for online success,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: right no.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Overnight wishes or secret handshakes.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: But there is a path, a journey, and it starts
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: with a willingness to put in the work, to be consistent,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: and to you know, maybe even have a little fun
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: along the way.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Couldn't have set it better myself. Well, that's it for
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: this episode of the Deep Dive. We hope you enjoyed
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: this deep dive and as always, we'd love to hear
• 8:49
