Jeff Lenning has built a successful business by leveraging his expertise in Excel and teaching others how to use it efficiently. He started by using Excel to streamline his own accounting processes and then wrote articles and books to help others. Now, he has a membership platform where he provides online Excel training.

Jeff discusses the transition from trading time for dollars to passive income and the importance of building an email list. He emphasizes the value of teaching people how to use Excel rather than just providing templates, and he offers a free Excel newsletter and course to attract potential members.

Sound Bites

• This dude, Jeff Lenning, has totally figured it out and more than anything, he's figured it out in a way that's completely helped his business.

• I take the skill of using Excel to then help other people use it, not only just like in person, like trading dollars for hours, but now it's this membership kind of a platform, correct?

• We're trying to do the same thing. Actually it's being launched as we speak. So I'm very interested personally. And also I think a lot of our people could be taking advantage of what you're doing in their industry.
