Niche Picking Is a Trap: Build Skills First, Success Second

In this no-fluff episode, I break down one of the most misunderstood parts of starting a business → picking your niche. If you’ve been spinning your wheels trying to choose the “perfect niche” or scale to $20K+/month without real experience, this episode is your wake-up call.

You’ll learn why most entrepreneurs fail at picking a niche, how to build real business skills from the ground up, and what successful founders do differently when choosing who they serve. I’ll cover the trap of overplanning, the myth of instant success, and why volume, reps, and long-game thinking are the only real shortcuts.

Whether you’re a coach, consultant, freelancer, or agency owner, this episode will give you clarity, perspective, and a brutally honest roadmap to grow your business the right way without pretending to be an expert before you’ve earned it.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻:

✔️ Why “picking a niche” keeps early-stage entrepreneurs stuck

✔️ The mindset shift that separates real founders from fake experts

✔️ How to build authority through skill, not hype

✔️ Why industry experience matters more than flashy branding

✔️ The five-year success timeline no one talks about
