© 2016 • BLAST FROM THE CAST CHANGE YOUR LIFESTYLE BY CHANGING YOUR BUSINESS MODEL. As an online entrepreneur you can put yourself in the unique position to design your lifestyle in ways that allow you to truly pursue your passions while making an income. Many of us online entrepreneurs begin our journey by providing services like coaching or freelancing. Although this does allow more lifestyle flexibility than a traditional 9-5, we can sometimes be tied down to a location where our client base lives or tied to specific hours. This can prevent frequent extended travel, or relocating for family reasons, or pursuing new opportunities and interests, or any number of things we want to do. But, there are some other ways to go about this “making money online” thing. One alternative business model is that of the “infopreneur.” Infopreneur n. 1. A person whose business is gathering, processing, and providing information to an audience. • A portmanteau of “information” and “entrepreneur” There are examples of successful infopreneurs in every niche from food to fashion to soap making. As this business model has become more recognized, the number of resources teaching how to get started have exploded. Usually, these resources are created as either single online courses or some type of coaching program to help you get started. However, with shorter programs or limited feedback, it can be hard to keep up the momentum for the time necessary to go from idea to plan to product to profit. DG << F E E D B A C K >> KN ON LE TI OW AC E > > Knowledge alone does not equal power. Applied knowledge equals power. The entire Blast from the Cast experience builds on the important cycle of knowledge, then action, and then feedback. Each phase of the 3-month program (and the program in general) are set up to provide you with tools and knowledge, give you specific actions and homework, then provide constant feedback from the cast members and other infopreneurs. © 2016 • BLAST FROM THE CAST WHAT IS BLAST FROM THE CAST?
