The Retirement Entrepreneur's Paradox: Too Much Expertise, Not Enough Clarity

After 30 years of solving expensive problems in your field, you face an unexpected challenge: you don't know too little—you know too much.

You could teach a dozen different topics, but which one will people actually pay for? And just as important, which one will you still care about six months from now?

This video introduces the 3-Circle Method, a strategic framework designed specifically for experienced professionals building second-act businesses.

You'll discover how to validate your course topic at the intersection of deep expertise, proven market demand, and genuine teaching stamina—before you record a single video or invest a single hour in production.
