    This workshop might help. It's how I got started selling a service. The service doesn't have to be Google Ads. https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/workshop-replay-selling-google-ads-as-a-service.109850/

    Keep chipping away Aura. Personally, I don't like Upwork and other platforms like that, and have never used them. Are you able to pick up clients or work outside of those platforms? Ideally monthly recurring work from the same businesses.

    What you seek is on the other side of hard. Also, who cares how many others are doing what you want to do. The more doing it the more proof there's money flowing in that industry/niche.

    Thanks for these tips. I'll come back to this when we get my friend's profile created. How do we cater for tradesmen who cover lots of locations? Would the icon on the map being far away deter people from choosing them?

    Sales, people helped, positive feedback, referrals, repeat business. These could all be metrics for success. As could impressions, clicks, comments, replies, or followers. It's not anyone elses metrics that matters though, it's what you decide to measure. Anyway. You make sales of a book...

    Someone once gave me the advice of "Price it so you'd be delighted if they said Yes." Like you, I decided no price is good enough to work with pita clients. I don't increase my price to make them go away though. I prefer to just not send a proposal, or to say our strategies aren't a good fit...

    I was once told "F*ck why. It only holds you back." Draw a line in the sand and move on. Pick one of the things that brought you success and focus on it. There's a Gold thread in here of a lad your age who's selling websites. EDIT: I just read @ZCP's reply. When I say "F*ck why" I mean...

    They can't remember the names of the games. Throw a car? Spelling Bee?

    I used the voice narration in Descript a while back. It was really handy when I was writing short scripts to hear it said back to me. I could then amend and relisten.

    I'm following because I'm fascinated. My kids have played the strangest games. From taking it in turns to throw cars at each other, to spelling competitions.

    I think you answered it here: Act, Assess, Adjust. It's a feedback loop, so you need feedback.

    We asked them to talk about their experience and made it as informal a chat as I could. I personally didn't think asking them to present would have helped and they wouldn't be doing presentations in their roles. I suppose that's where my thoughts differed from the other hiring managers. I...

    It wasn't for my own company, but I interviewed a few people and managed a couple of teams (one a team of 35). Interviews/hiring "The person who'll run with the ball is the person who catches it." I talked more than most recommend we do in interviews. I'd get the whiteboard markers out and...
