    Figuring Out YouTube

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Well sucks for me, I would casually go back to your non-google ads vids from time to time. They were helpful and helped clear up my mind when it got really foggy. But thanks for making them in the first place.

    Extreme inconsistency. Any ideas??

    HOT! IDEA 
    Something along these lines. Moved far away where there weren't any reasonable job opportunities, so I had to be resourceful and act swiftly. You are young, so you likely don't have the life experience to know ways to "survive" long, rough, cash-less periods.

    How much should you follow up with potential prospects?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Wanted to expand on this for the OP: Most business-owners focus on existing clients, clients in their pipeline, new clients, their managers, their employees, their family and loved ones, their business partners, just to name a few. Their time is over-booked and even if at first contact you...

    How much should you follow up with potential prospects?

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Sequence 1 - call 2 - email 3 - follow up email 4 - follow up email 5 - follow up call 6- follow up emai You catch the drift, but make it your own after enough attempts. Teach/educate/inform the prospect with every outreach, all the while pursuing the close. Don't just reach out to say...

    Extreme inconsistency. Any ideas??

    HOT! IDEA 
    I was exactly where you were one year ago. What got me to the next level was putting myself in a position where failure is not an option. Doing that means different things depending on what type of person you are, and is also not an approach many would advise. But let me tell you: I hate...

    Where's the Value?

    I'm saying get in front of accomplished and high value individuals. Offer the right type of value and they'll engage with you, book a call, introduce you to their network, etc. If you're starting out from scratch, this route is more likely to produce the results you want, as opposed to jotting...

    Cringe thread

    MINDSET 
    Maybe the title could have been better phrased. This post was meant to encourage others that you have to look like an idiot to get good. I'm having a great week and currently engaged in some projects that the me from six months ago would have thought impossible. For example: - Engaged in...

    MINDSET 
    Writing this post for past me and for future newbies coming in with doubts. Being afraid of looking foolish or inexperienced is a major factor for not taking action. Here are some of the things I felt like an idiot for after they initially happened, but that's how I learned. - Tried selling...

    Need some advice with finding prospects

    - Pay someone to build a list for you - Dedicate a day to manually build it yourself - Use software like the one you linked What's more important at this stage is not who you reach out to, it's reaching out in the first place. And at a high volume. How many prospects have you contacted this...

    So if your are making websites for a certain niche, won't you just be setting up businesses to compete with each other?

    Competition is a good thing. If a customer poses that concern (a reminder most beginners in business love to invent scenarios), use it to your advantage. How? Respond with a powerful question. For example: Customer: If you specialize in *niche* websites, then that means you work with all my...

    Starting a cleaning business

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Part of me wishes I started with something similar. Simply because my jobs provided a lot more experience with customer facing roles, so it'd be a lot more practical for me to pursue than the b2b business I chose. If I were you, I'd literally go door-to-door, and pitch. Both to residential and...

    Dealing with rejection

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    You are doing what many novice entrepreneurs do: inventing scenarios to prepare for. I still do this to this day, though not as much as when I was first starting out, so don't feel too bad. #1 You don't have to be certain, but you do have to be confident. #2 Test, don't theorize.
