    What skills should I learn in 2024 ?

    IDEA 
    that's too hard, i rather read 100m offers all day and spend the rest of my time feel euphoric about how i'll "eventually" use the information

    What skills should I learn in 2024 ?

    IDEA 
    As someone who's wasted a lot of time reading, I feel like this advice needs to be taken a step further: Reading about sales and marketing will do you nothing Selling and marketing through trial and error will get you knowledge you can't be trained for

    Hey @IceCreamKid , sent a DM but not sure if you look at them. I'm in a different business now but we're on our way to $10k / month, like nearly there. Is your offer to talk about systems still on the table? Thank you

    We're starting to get some clients who are doing things like this, introducing us to new people out of nowhere. @MJ DeMarco following your advice, at what point do you determine that a service is capable of productocracy?

    And just like that, we’re profitable. All we had to do was stop spending so much money. Sometimes you just need the right person to come and tell you you’re doing shit wrong in order to set you on the right path. In this case for me it’s @Black_Dragon43 Wow, it feels so good. We’re starting to...

    1. Discipline myself and stop spending money 2. Start qualifying potential clients and reject those who aren't promising 3. Focus on the better clients and charge more money. Implementing all starting today. Get back to you soon with results

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Thank you MJ! envisioned getting a gold from the second I started this thread. Our next part of the journey is profitability We have a huge profit margin on our sales, it cost us probably $20 to generate a lead we sell for 20-30 fold of that. It's just kind of been like a big lab experiment up...

    They're actually way easier to convert. And i think instead of our $100 / month we can charge them $200 / month + performance. They're also way easier to deal with. The brokies have no idea how to work a lead and then come back mad at us because they are trash sales people with no track...

    Well what I'm trying to get my partner to agree to is the following: We have some clients that pay much more per lead and some that pay less than half of that. The difference between the two is - high end vs low end. rich vs middle class. For specific leads, people are willing to pay more...

    20 paying clients currently. At some point in a new business you realize there are two beasts you face: 1. Getting your first sales 2. Getting profitable Do not underestimate the time the second may take.

    Plant Money Trees By Making SYSTEMS

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    almost 2 years later, this thread is coming in handy big time. After coming back here I'm sitting down my whole saturday today writing out every single detail of tasks that can be turned into a system. Can it be automated with code? can it be automated with VA's? or do we need an employee...

    Hey @Black_Dragon43 your strategy is working. We have 10 clients paying us $100 / month + performance. We essentially have people giving us money in order to give us more money. The business model works like a charm. We don't auto-bill them, they actually make a decision on whether or not they...

    Are You Quitting 3 Inches From Gold?

    MINDSET 
    Want the truth about starting a business? Your first offer, even the one someone buys at first, will likely suck. You're likely going to make a few people unhappy at the start. It will feel like the end of the world to you.. like your idea is going to fail. People may be telling you they...
