Remove Pain from Recurring Revenue

Erica is a web and graphic designer who invested in a coaching program built to turn designers into full-service marketers—complete with monthly retainers, ad campaigns, and recurring revenue. The strategy looked great on paper, but as she started executing it, something felt off. The project work still lights her up; the repetitive marketing tasks do not. Now she's wondering if she has to keep doing work she doesn't enjoy just to hit six figures, or if there's another way. Preston and Clay dig into why following someone else's exact blueprint can quietly lead you away from the work you actually love—and how to build a thriving, recurring-revenue business around just the services that energize you.
