Business Model Design — with Sarah Peck
Going beyond one-size-fits-all
In an era of micro-businesses and small teams building expansive platforms, the structure behind your business matters more than ever. It quietly shapes your time, your energy, and the decisions you make every day.
In this session, Sarah K. Peck takes you behind the scenes of how different business models actually work, and how to think more intentionally about the one you’re building.
Not everything that works is a fit.
Some models look good in theory but ask too much in practice. Others shape the way you work in ways you only notice once you’re already inside them.
This is about understanding the structure underneath what you’re building, and making more intentional decisions about how your business operates.
Together, we’ll explore:
The six core business models every creator and founder should understand
How different models shape your time, energy, and decision-making
Why “best practices” often fall short in real life
How your marketing mix connects to the model you choose
What it looks like when your business structure actually supports how you want to work
It’s not about finding the perfect model, it’s about building something that fits the way you actually work.
Walk away with a clearer understanding of your options, and a more grounded way to think about how your business grows, earns, and operates over time.
