I discovered the power of what I will describe as a target market. Oftentimes people use the word niche, but I discovered it back in 2014. When I started studying a gentleman named Michael Port, and he wrote a book called Book Yourself. And so I became a student of his. And I think the key lesson that really stuck with me at that point was the idea of having a target. So just to recap what you said, it's the idea of creating a market and being a bigger fish in a smaller pond.
I come from a background where I worked with a very local market, which was geographically determined. When I made the switch to working with people online, I realized that online is huge. And so the question becomes, how do you stand out? How do you compete?
