    Is building a business THIS easy? The secret sauce?

    EXECUTION 
    Sure, go for it. Granted we literally got off the ground but since I'm in the team and growing it, when the biz grows, I'd love to be able to spread the knowledge and the stumbling points considering I just spent 7 years in scaredy-cat/action faker hell.

    Is building a business THIS easy? The secret sauce?

    EXECUTION 
    And you're right, completely right and we see it at least 30 times a day on this forum. The biggest issue just seems to be mindset and beliefs. I run the GOLD! - HOT! - IDEA - Surprisingly simple stupid businesses- that somehow work and I kept SEEING dumb people "just doing things" like...

    Is building a business THIS easy? The secret sauce?

    EXECUTION 
    Man I don't know if I need to post a full thread but I got invited to go to a guru's mindset seminar over the weekend, plenty of decent mindset stuff but the dude forced us into groups and to try to start an entire business brand in under 3 hours and.......... we did it. And by I mean we did...

    It's not, other avenues mentioned and I hit them up heavily and even got back into cold calls the past two weeks. The issue is is that I got burnt hard with meta ads set up and I'm just reaching a point where I'm getting actual humans despite a huge initial ad spend. But now past that, people...

    Alright, new things were laid in including extra-steps on the facebook forms to cut out bots and I'm now seeing ACTUAL local area codes for phone #s on entries and real looking e-mails HOWEVER. I literally JUST got off the phone with a guy where I read him back the time he filled out the form...

    Alright, the PPC guy in my network was kind enough to get back in touch this evening. The spam/bot entries seem to be very real in our area and advised a couple things I could try, which fell in line with what Mark was suggesting as well. He did say if these leads continue to be dogwater, with...

    Just make sure you peep my post in Mark's thread, for better or worse there's a HIGH amount of spam leads from bots for whatever reason, at about 46 leads so far and I've only had 3 actual humans who intentionally filled out the form as of right now. If the lead entry has a gmail that's...

    4th of October would give us some space to do something in January to kick off the year IMO.

    IMO Grapevine might be the best place since it's relatively central and right off the highway considering we have peeps from north of Denton, East of Dallas, and out west past Lake Worth.

    Update: Got a small job through my network! Which is nice, working to overdeliver on this as always and hopefully get some more referrals. Ads: Terrible, completely terrible, I posted up in Mark's thread but I've basically dumped close to 1k thinking I was getting leads just for people to tell...

    Everyone needs to take a moment right now and appreciate they're alive and in good health. I was feet away from having a final destination moment on the freeway earlier. I'm always a safe and cautious driver but a wind gust picked up an unsecure piece of metal sheeting off the back of a...

    ALRIGHT, fellow U.S. WDs running ads. I kept calling "leads" and they'd act bewildered saying they'd never filled out my form and didn't have a clue how I got their number or e-mail. I thought the first 6 were people getting cold feet, but I just had 4 out of 4 this morning do the same thing...

    Fb lead form based on what I've seen from videos and what people in Mark's thread have talked about, I believe one guy in there tried to drive to a landing page but had rather low conversion, possibly because meta secretly de-prioritizes that generation method.

    Haaaaaaa yeah have the same thing here, I finally got through to two today but one guy said he's broke so I just advised him on how to set up his GMB for some leads and the other froze any talks until next year (yeah it's dead) because his wife wanted to go on vacation which ate the funds for...

    I have, if you check my main WD progress thread I made over 3,000 cold calls to scrape up work in 22-23. Mark's been helping me by double-checking my copy revisions, creatives and metrics and he said they all look good from his end. I think there may be a very real population different between...

    oh boy it's been almost 2 weeks! Fb ads: The Wonderous Mr. Mark has still been giving me pointers and helping me understand the metric, ads are closer to a median 15$ cpc now which is incredible. Unfortunately, I'm about 750$ in without any clients. Just a lot of weird or seemingly mentally...
