In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Bonnie Christine, an internationally renowned surface designer, entrepreneur, and award-winning online educator. Bonnie shares the inspiring story of how she discovered her zone of genius, that sweet spot where your greatest talents and deepest passions meet, and how that discovery completely transformed her business.

We dive into what it looked like for her to go from solopreneur to building and leading a thriving multimillion dollar company. Bonnie walks us through practical steps for identifying your own zone of genius, prioritizing those tasks, and learning to delegate the rest. We also talk about how to build a strong, supportive team and why tools like time audits and SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) are essential for creating a business that runs smoothly without you doing it all.

I recently had the chance to switch roles and become the guest on Kwadwo Sampany Kessie's podcast The Art of Online Business. In our conversation, I shared the evolution of my business, my approach to simplifying offers, and how YouTube has played a major role in generating high-quality leads. I also gave a detailed look at my current business model, including my high-ticket coaching program, low-ticket membership, and YouTube course.

We dove into the emotional challenges that come with entrepreneurship, especially during those frustrating revenue plateaus, and the strategy shifts I have made along the way. If you are interested in building a sustainable business, using YouTube to attract better leads, and maintaining a healthy balance between work and growth, this is an episode you will not want to miss!
