The problem it solves
Many professionals feel stuck in their careers and lack the knowledge or support to make meaningful changes that lead to satisfaction and success.
How it makes money
One-time purchase for workshops or a package deal for a series of sessions.
Skills you need
Workshop facilitation, career coaching, public speaking, and curriculum development.
The market, and why this works now
Most professionals underestimate the value of structured feedback in career development. Leveraging platforms like Meetup to organize local career success workshops can attract participants seeking guidance. The first revenue could come from promoting these workshops through LinkedIn events, targeting professionals actively seeking new opportunities. A significant constraint in the first year will be the need for a well-developed curriculum that meets diverse participant needs, which can be labor-intensive and time-consuming to create.
