Short YouTube monologue by Nicolas Cole advising listeners to choose a business model that fits their unique skills and the life they want to lead. Cole argues that copying others' apparent successes often leads to frustration and quitting if the model doesn't match personal enjoyment or lifestyle goals; instead, focus on what works best for you.
One of the most common questions I get asked in business is, what's the best business model? But a far better question that is asked much less often is, what's the best business model for my unique set of skills? Because I could tell you the answer. I could tell you, I think you should pursue this business model. But if it's not something you enjoy, if that business model doesn't create the sort of life that you want to live, you're not going to do it. And you're certainly not going to be successful with it, because you're going to stop. You're going to get frustrated at some point and then give up. So stop focusing on what you see working for other people and just focus on what works best for you.
