Summary

#873 Ever feel like the business advice you’re getting just doesn’t work for you? There’s a reason for that! Here's the thing. Not every creator is built the same. In fact, your personality plays a big role in the kind of brand you're able to grow and sustain. In this episode, I share the five archetypes I’ve discovered after fifteen years in the online business space. Listen in because I'll walk through each one to help you find your place in entrepreneurship. The professor, performer, engineer, detective, and renaissance creator all differ in key ways. Knowing where you stand means you'll stop fighting an uphill battle and start leveling up with ease! I'll also break down which business models work best for each archetype. Whether it’s online courses, community building, brand deals, or live events, each path to success presents unique strengths and challenges. Tune in, and enjoy!
