Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: How this tech company went from $100 to a 30 million dollar valuation in under 3 years
[1:15] – Uyi shares something that he believes about becoming successful that most people disagree with.
- You don’t need money to start a business in 2023. We are in the digital economy where anybody with the knowledge, skills and expertise can take that information, turn it into a coaching program or an online course, and they can start to build 6-8 figures without spending a dime.
[2:18] – Uyi’s story from rags to riches and living the American dream.
- He came to America a few years ago with only $100 and a suitcase of clothes. His dream was to be a gynecologist.
- He found out that his true passion was entrepreneurship and to help people to actualize their own dreams.
- His first job was working at a movie theater and he was making about $6.15 an hour.
- He started learning how to prepare taxes for people.
- Vonza was built from the idea of having an all-in-one platform that gives an entrepreneur, a coach or a consultant all the tools they need in one single place
[6:41] – Providing value with Vonza and creating the best solution to a real world problem.
- The secret to everybody’s success is in pain, frustration or something that they really feel like they can add value to or change.
- Vonza is 12 features in one: your courses, your website, your digital products and physical products, your emails, your scheduling, SMS and forms, and a bunch of other features. The idea for this is to streamline online business

[14:45] – The importance of providing a unique value proposition
- Lead with simplicity. If you want a simple-to-use platform without needing a team or needing to be technical, then Vonza is your best choice.
[18:00] – The future of community, courses and coaching.
- Right now, we are seeing a big shift from just courses to community. We’re seeing that people want more than courses.
- The niche industry is hard right now. It’s not enough to just be a coach or to be a consultant or to be a course creator in a very broad niche.
- Knowledge is more available now than ever before. So you have to over deliver; you have to niche down and you have to build a community.
[20:31] – Uyi’s key takeaway and call to action.
- This is the best time to launch a business online. You just need to teach your knowledge, your story or your expertise.
- Vonza – Vonza is the fast and easy way to create and sell online courses, products, coaching, memberships, funnels & more. Keep your online business simple and all-in-one place.
