188 – How to Create Stable and Predictable Recurring Revenue in Your Business – with Stu McLaren

Stu McLaren is one of my favourite people in the world.

He has helped more people than anybody to start, launch and grow membership businesses.

A membership gives you a recurring revenue stream and a more predictable cash flow – which can make a big difference to the value of your business and how confident you feel about your bank account will look from month to month.

When you know where your next dollar is coming from, YOU experience fewer “headaches”, and less stress, and you can sleep soundly at night knowing that you’ll be again and again every month.

Stu McLaren is the creator of the Membership Experience, and he is my guest today.

In this interview, we dive into:

  • The revenue model that Zoom, Netflix and Disney use that solopreneurs and small businesses owners worldwide are now ALSO using to create highly profitable businesses.
  • Why membership is a way to future-proof your business against fluctuations in the economy.
  • Why you don’t need to have a popular website, a big email list OR a social media following to have a successful membership.
  • The RISKIEST thing you can do right now in your business.
  • And how to join Stu’s free workshop: “Turn What You Already Know, Love, And Do Into A Profitable Membership”.

I know you’ll love Stu’s enthusiasm, infectious personality, and incredible smarts.

“Turn What You Already Know, Love, And Do Into A Profitable Membership”

I’m a big fan of Stu McLaren. I had seen him help thousands of women business owners to go from wondering how they’re going to have a more predictable income to creating businesses where they feel confident, knowing when to invest in a new team member, equipment and growth.

If you are ready for more reliable revenue in your business, you want to walk, not run over, to GrowAMembership.com to grab your place in his upcoming workshop.

It starts on 22 April (AU).
