    Top 3 self-development books

    There are so many... 1. Think & Grow Rich An obvious one. The only people who would talk bad about this book either hasn't read it or is a complete idiot. Since there are no idiots on this forum... I'm guessing the former. Every single massively successful person I know (talking 100 million...

    Okay, yeah, you're right. You should quit. :rofl: Just joking.

    MINDSET RANT 
    The "exception that proves the rule" -- sometimes there are people who have just been barking up the wrong tree. How'd you put it? Putting the ladder against the wrong building? But I hear every day now "I've tried EVERYTHING" -- really? Name them. "Well I can't name them but it was a lot."...

    A short post about quitting

    MINDSET RANT 
    I've seen numerous posts lately asking "should I quit _______?" Nobody ever succeeded by quitting. If you're asking this question in a public forum, I'm willing to bet 99% of the time the answer is NO. It reminds me of these relationship threads on Reddit. "My partner did X. I don't like it."...

    I've been in front of thousands of people lately who are just "burnt out" (their words, not mine). I try to explain that the feeling of burnout -- especially for high achievers like yourself -- comes from one thing: Nothing pisses off high achievers more than when you work harder and get less...

    Hiring people for cheaper but expecting a similar result, delusional?

    MARKETING 
    I've had quite a few disappointing results lately, myself. I've been paying over their asking rate hoping it will spur them to take it more seriously (spoiler: it didn't). Although I have a few friends with VA's and Gig-Workers that churn out these amazing results for graphic design, pages...

    @zebroinvestor@gm ahem.... As a business owner, my biggest pet peeve is wasted time. Don't beat around the bush. Just tell me what you've got and what it's going to do for me. I don't have time for the "let's get to know each other" phase. I've given plenty of people the time of day who...

    I just had to get good at outbound for my role the last 7 years. But I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Door knocking and cold calling can be brutal. However, if you've got the testicular fortitude, entire industries were born with that. This company does almost $200mm a year and they are just NOW...

    I always care. Whether or not I act on that caring is another question :rofl: I'm very familiar. The 2 comma club is for $1,000,000 sold in any funnel over ANY amount of time. So that could've been the last 10 years for all we know. But I disagree on this one. Agency stuff is far more...

    Was he making money on his agency or selling agency advice? Are you using any of the inbound strategies in addition to your outbound? Have you tried this approach yet? Even better if you make friends with these people and give them value before asking for something like that. How much...

    I'm responding with the assumption you WANT this to work, but if you don't -- then that's a different conversation Are you passionate enough about this line of work? You can easily just go get a job that will be much less stress

    So in your sales process, this objection (that is going to come up over and over and over again) needs to be solved BEFORE it comes up. It's not wrong to target people who have spent money with agencies in the past (in fact, it's probably smart because now you don't have to convince them to...

    The greatest chokehold in any business is the psychology of the leader... aka you. My coach taught me that if you want to be successful, you need to model success. Find someone who already has what you want and model 3 things: Their physiology (what they physically do) Their beliefs (how they...

    Stop reading self-improvement books

    MINDSET 
    Let's get clear on your point: "Don't read books to avoid implementation." Because the idea of not reading books is the dumbest idea ever. Of course, read the books. Read all the books. Read books you think are stupid, read books you agree with, read books that advance your education, read...

    Find people who get excited about these things and interview them! Ask them in-depth questions about why they like certain products over others, the problems, issues, challenges. The old quote "if you can articulate their problem better than they can in their own head, you've got 'em" "don't...

    Marketing vs. Sales

    MARKETING 
    Marketing is driving the ball. Sales is putting. Both are required. If your marketing is great, the sales are easy to putt in. If not, your sales chops better be damn good, because you've got a long way to make it to the hole.

    Business Ideas in Non-Congested Markets

    I've read the book twice. It was alright. But I think entrepreneurs who are in the trenches understand that saturation is a figment of someone's imagination. People have been talking about over-saturation for years and years and years... in my eyes, it's just an excuse. I've got close friends...
