You want more customers.

Strip away the frameworks and every business problem comes down to two stages, and two levers once you’re moving. Where are you right now?

Nobody pays you yet

Going from zero to one

You need enough people using what you made to learn something, and enough time left over to fix it. Have an opinion, put it in front of real people, and watch what they actually do before you try to scale.

People already pay you

More of the right people

Once people pay you, one way to grow is to get more of them. That comes down to two things: putting the right offer in front of new people, and not losing the ones who show up before they buy.

People already pay you

More from each customer

Getting someone to pay you anything is much harder than getting a customer to pay you more. That’s why a small first offer works. Once someone pays at all, earning more from them comes down to continuing to solve their problems.

How the two connect

Each customer pays for the next one

When you earn more from each customer, you can afford to spend more to win the next one. Turning the second dial is what pays for turning the first.
