How to Start a Business (And Make It Successful) | Graham Cochrane

The Financial Independence Show

Today's episode features Graham Cochrane from GrahamCochrane.com and Recording Revolution. Graham can now proudly say he's running some incredibly profitable businesses... but it hasn't always been that way. After moving to Florida in 2009 with his wife to help a friend start a church, he got laid off from his new job. Trying to find decent-paying work during a global recession proved to be difficult. So Graham started doing freelance music work again. Although he was making some money, he was also on food stamps to help make ends meet. Graham stuck with it though and over the next decade went from $500/month to $5,000/month to $50,000/month and beyond. All from his online business. In today's episode, we cover topics like: How to generate business ideas How to validate business ideas Finding your ideal avatar The best ways to scale a business What it takes to create a successful business and a whole lot more.
