Last week, Tom tackled what niche and what service is best. Spoiler alert! There is no best niche or service. However, you might want to do certain things based on where you are at in your business. Listen to Episode 26: Best Niche - Best Service to get the details. You can find it at remotemillionaires.com/podcastIn today's episode of The Remote Millionaires Podcast, Tom talks about specialization and whether or not you should do it. But first, what is specialization? It's when you focus on a specific industry or service. Example: We help dentists get more patients, or we specialize in SEO only. Some people do both by offering SEO only to Dentists. The usual advice you’ll hear is you should definitely specialize. People say. “The riches are in the niches.” You’ll even hear stories of professional athletes used as examples.But in David Epstein’s fantastic book ‘Range - Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World’ he shows that many more top successful people in their fields DID NOT SPECIALIZE when they were younger. They specialized late in life and became the best.What does this have to do with starting and growing a remote digital marketing agency?

With the gazillion things you have to do when running your business, you often forget to build your standard operating procedures (SOPs). SOPs are the documents that allow you to have a business that you don't have to work in every single day. The SOPs turn the wheels and keep your business going without your direct involvement. If you are looking to build a sustainable remote business, Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) are a critical piece of that. So how do you create an SOP? Tom answers that in today's episode of the Remote Millionaires podcast. He also shares the SOP Framework Template they use in the Remote Millionaires Program.
