Sam Ovens & Tai Lopez – How To Start A Wildly Profitable 6-7 Figure Consulting Business

When I started building my lifestyle business five years ago, I was heading into the unknown without much of strategy.

It ended up working out great for me, but there are more than a few things I wish I would’ve known from the start.

I could’ve saved at least 18 months worth of time and effort if I knew what I know now.

In this article, I share my story of how I went from zero to $220K+ in 12 months, but I also share insights from the days before I had my breakthrough with virtual summits.

When it comes down to it, I put a mountain of effort into things that could’ve waited until well after my summit.

Live and learn, I suppose.

In this step-by-step guide you’ll discover how to start a lifestyle business even better and faster than I did (as you can learn from my success and mistakes).

Note: This in-depth guide on how to start a lifestyle business is several thousand words long, so you can check the table of contents below to jump to the section you’d like to dive in to more.

Lifestyle Business Definition: What Is a Lifestyle Business? 

A lifestyle business is a business that pays you equally in revenue, quality of life, and awesome experiences. Almost any business idea can be scaled into a lifestyle business.

When you can live and work from anywhere, make your own schedule, and surround yourself with like-minded people, it’s easy to see how you can build a business that gives you the best life possible.

What a lifestyle business is in a nutshell:

This last point is the most important. If you can make genuine connections with leaders in your industry, you can build a successful lifestyle business.

Then you can use those relationships to provide real value to your audience, and BOOM!, you’re set.

For me, the key to unlocking my lifestyle business was to focus on the ONE THING that could build authority, generate revenue, develop strong relationships, and provide significant value: and that ONE THING was virtual summits.

What a Lifestyle Business Isn’t

Digital nomads and lifestyle entrepreneurs tend to over-glamorize the concept of a lifestyle business.

When I started building a presence online, I knew it was going to be a grind, and you should start your own lifestyle business with the same mentality.

What a lifestyle business isn’t:

I’m sure you’ve seen the iconic image of someone in their mid-twenties sitting on the beach with their MacBook Pro in their lap.

For one, the glare from the sun makes this impossible, and then there’s all the sand that would get into your computer, not to mention the wifi is probably pretty weak that far out on the beach.

Hype aside, starting a lifestyle business is the best decision I ever made, and I recommend it to almost everyone I meet.
