  • Episode 009: Niching-Focusing Your Business for Success
    Jul 17 2023

    On this episode, Chris Laning discusses the concept of niching in business, which involves focusing on a specific subset of tasks or a particular target audience. By niching, businesses can stand out and attract customers who are looking for specialized expertise.

    However, there is a danger of becoming stagnant if businesses only focus on one niche. Chris suggests exploring different niches within the same business to avoid feeling trapped and to have multiple revenue streams. The power of niching lies in creating a business that specializes in unique areas rather than trying to do everything.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Niching involves focusing a business on a specific subset of tasks or a particular target audience.
    • Niching helps businesses stand out and attract customers who are looking for specialized services.
    • It is important to explore different niches within the same business to avoid stagnation and have multiple revenue streams.
