When the Business You’re Building Is Draining

Jun 02, 2025

Let me take you back to where my business really began:

It started with a book.

Not a lead magnet. Not a brand play. A book that documented the proprietary methodology I’d been using to get clients real results.

From that one asset, I built everything else:
→ A college-accredited course
→ A certification program
→ A B2B training library powered by AI
→ A low-ticket digital product
→ Consulting + coaching business that threaded through it all

Each offer working together. Nothing is random.

It is a one-red-threaded methodology that powers an entire business, creating more impact with less work and keeping me in my zone of genius, rather than buried in tech and admin chaos.

But when I look around now, I see too many brilliant experts doing the opposite.

They're exhausted, not from lack of experience, but from building patchwork businesses based on disconnected advice.

They’ve got random tools duct-taped together, half-finished offers, funnels that don’t flow, and tech stacks that suck more time than they save.

And the worst part? The advice they’re following is often from people who’ve never built anything real themselves (just recycled tactics designed to sell you something).

Let’s change that.

Here’s how to extract and organize your invisible expertise:

 

1️⃣ Identify your automatic processes
What do you do on instinct, without even realizing it’s valuable? That’s your hidden IP.

Example: Maybe you onboard clients in a way that builds instant trust and momentum. It’s second nature to you, but a game-changer to someone else.

2️⃣ Study your problem-solving patterns
How do you approach challenges before others see them coming?

Example: You ask diagnostic questions that lead to breakthroughs, and your brain already has a framework in place. We just need to put it into words.

3️⃣ Notice where others get stuck
What feels obvious to you, but confuses your peers or clients?

Example: You instinctively map out a solution or make content strategies look effortless. That’s your teachable zone.

4️⃣ Document your decision shortcuts
Your ability to say “yes” or “no” quickly isn’t luck; it’s a mental filter you’ve developed.

Example: If you know a partnership isn’t right within minutes, that logic can be packaged into a decision-making tool for others.

5️⃣ Capture your contrarian views
Where do you disagree with your industry? That’s not a problem, it’s your edge.

Example: Maybe you believe most people are leading with outdated tactics and practices. Great, lead with your difference.

If your current business feels like a time-sucking maze of tools, templates, and admin…

Let’s build something smarter.

17 Ways To Use A Book In Your Business

You Don't Need A Side Hustle If You Do This
  When I started my publishing company, WoosterMedia, ten years ago, I helped people write books through self-publishing, traditional book deals, or ghostwriting. That is where my service offerings began and ended: a published book. It was a great business, but it felt hollow to me.🤔 Because . . . people did not know what to do with their book once it was written.  They spent months writing it...
Giving It All Away For Free
  In 2018, I gave away everything I knew for free in a lead magnet. Why? Because I knew it would convert into business. People don't pay you for what you know; they pay you for implementation and insights.  It worked. The lead magnet + referrals built me a 6-figure business. No marketing spend. No heavy-duty social media posting. So, now I am doing that again.  Introducing: "Become A Bestsel...
