Do you ever feel like you’re starting from zero—no list, no website, no time to spare—and wonder if building a business is even possible?

In this episode, John coaches a student who is beginning from scratch while also balancing full-time studies for a doctorate. They discuss the most effective way to use limited time, avoid overwhelm, and start laying the foundation for a future business without wasting years.

You’ll Learn:

The 5 Ones Framework – why focusing on one avatar, one offer, one lead magnet, one traffic source, and one sales path is the fastest way to grow.
Why you don’t need a big website – and what to build instead that actually gets you leads.
How to prepare for sales later – even if you can’t take on clients or fulfill big offers right now.
Do-it-yourself vs. done-for-you products – which type is right for your stage of life.
The Freedom Framework roadmap – clarity, attention, leads, sales, profitability, results, and freedom.

Whether you’re balancing school, work, or family life, you’ll see that starting small and simple isn’t just possible—it’s the smartest way to set yourself up for long-term success.
