James Schramko Podcast

3 months is a lousy subscription number. James has had a client stay 16 years so far.

One week later he sent one email and sold 13 of the exact same program to the exact same people. Same program, same price, one thing different.

It usually costs less to fix it than to close it. Five steps and a 30 day test that change the model, so you can keep the business.

In this video James shows you the move, the two things that stop most founders from making it, and the same switch he made in his own business in 2009.

Eighteen years of recurring income later, James Schramko shows founders how to find the one thing their business is stuck behind and take it out.

The model that frees you from a business you can't step away from, dates included.

In this episode: Why the platform shift that hit social feeds is about to hit the whole content layer, search included Two operators watching the same shift land, one owns the ground under them, one doesn't A podcast guest's Facebook group that lost its organic reach overnight, and what he built instead Why judgment, not content, is the one asset AI can't flood or copy Running a business on three one hour group calls a week, one messaging app, and a roughly $100/month AI subscription Why lean beats efficient when the shift you're bracing for can't be scheduled The one question the whole series comes down to: what's still yours if the platform disappears tomorrow All six parts of Own the Racecourse are in the feed. I'm reading this to you before it's a book, so if a part landed or didn't, tell me which one. That's what shapes the print version. Work with James: https://www.jamesschramko.com

This episode shows the roster: names, dates and outcomes going back further than most of this industry has existed.

That's the starting point for Part 4 of Own The Racecourse: Sell Without Hard Selling.

This part is about where output really comes from, and the systems that carry a business without the owner holding it up.
