4 July 2019

Most business owners ask “What should I sell?” or “What should I build?” when, instead, you should be asking WHO?

As in, who should I serve?

The WHO is the foundation upon which all other things can solidly be built.

Whether you’re refining an existing market or launching into a new market, the first decision you will need to make is choosing WHO.

Ryan Levesque is the Inc. 500 CEO of The ASK Method® Company and the #1 national best-selling author of ASK. His new book, Choose, is the topic of this interview.

Listen to this podcast episode with Suzi Dafnis and Ryan Levesque to hear:

  • The expensive mistakes we make when we choose a market
  • Why WHO you choose to work with is more important than WHAT you want to sell and what you want to create
  • How to avoid choosing a bad market
  • How to find a market teaching your expertise
  • The “sweet spot” when it comes to market size
  • How to pivot from your existing market to a better market
  • How to inject your personality into your business in order to stand out
  • How much to charge for your products and services
  • The pricing strategy that lets you raise your prices over time (without losing sales)
  • How to know what type of business makes sense for you
  • Why the right market will reduce stress and increase the love for your business (and how to pivot)

About the host

Suzi Dafnis

Hi there. I’m Suzi Dafnis, CEO at HerBusiness. My BIG passion is helping women business owners to grow and scale their business, so that they can create their ideal lifestyle and make a difference in the world. Every day I am inspired by the more than 30,000 amazing women (and men!) in our community and I love finding the best education, mentors, and resources from around the globe, to help them get the skills, knowledge, and support they need to succeed. It’s been my privilege to lead HerBusiness (formerly The Australian Businesswomen’s Network) for the past 23 years (two+ decades – WOW!) because, whilst I’ve enjoyed success in business, I’ve also experienced the highs and the lows – sometimes you can feel on top of the world and in control and other times you can feel isolated, exhausted and stuck. What has made the biggest difference for me has always been having great people around me and having a lifelong commitment to learning. That’s why I am so passionate about the work we do here at HerBusiness – providing a Connection Network for women in business to get the mentors, contacts, referrals, knowledge, and skills they need to grow their confidence, make more money, build their businesses, expand their network and create the lives they love. My entrepreneurial journey started in the spare room of my Sydney apartment in 1994 when my business partner and I started a boutique events company that represented speakers and authors from the USA, here in Australia. Over the years I’ve grown multiple multi-million dollar businesses in the events, publishing and education niches – with teams in Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. Not everything has worked and there has been a degree of trial and error, and a lot of bumps in the road. But I have always had a strong commitment to always surrounding myself with great mentors and like-minded peers – a Connection Network that I can depend on and who can depend on me to be there for them too. I truly do what I love, every day.
