Over the past 5 months I've spent my time outside of my slowlane job to learn coding and lead-gen with adWords. Thanks for all the help @Fox and @Andy Black.
Once I knew I could build a website that adds value I reached out to a friend to offer my services. He took me up on the offer and his business is already getting more traffic and sales.
However, it is easy to provide a service for someone you already know. The hard part is reaching out to people you don't know and trying to sell them on the value you can give them.
I started cold-calling a couple of weeks ago and was getting shut down left, right, and center. Needless to say my confidence was taking a beating.
Today I woke up and said I'm going to cold call until I get a real lead. When I picked up the phone to make my first call, I got cold feet and put the phone back down because I was afraid to get denied again.
Instead, I decided to continue reading Unscripted . I opened up the book where I left off last and it was Chapter 39: Kinetic Execution.
Once I read the chapter I said to myself, "Stop being a pussy and go make some damn calls! Take action!"
Next thing I know I'm on fourth call and I hear "Yes I would definitely be interested, when can we meet to talk more?!"
Thanks @MJ DeMarco for the swift kick in the a$$! Preparing to close this deal on Monday!
