    This seems all wrong. She stopped looking down on people earning their way and providing valuable services because of their high income potential?

    That's like someone saying "I'm a really nice person." I've yet to hear a really nice person utter those words.

    Former database administrator here. Just the amount of data in a system can cause headaches. Everything can be working fine with no changes applied to the system, but the amount of data constantly grows so limits get hit and/or performance degrades. And if changes were to be applied to any...

    "Your job in sales is to find out as soon as possible if the person in front of you sees the value in what you do, or just the cost. If it's just the cost then move on. Someone up the road will bite your hand off." (Blaise Brosnan) Every time I ignore those red flags I end up regretting it.

    More "courses" will have AI chat components, where the subject matter expert trains an AI to assist their students. They will be behind paywalls or optin walls to prevent them getting scraped. @Antifragile is doing this already for his internal teams. I also think people will give away less...

    Good stuff @MTF. Is there any monthly recurring element? Are your target market freelancers and personal brands, or business entities?

    When I say I use my IT skills, it just means I can knock up a spreadsheet and import it into Google Ads. Oh, and the awful interface doesn't faze me.

    I switched from IT (a Production Oracle DBA on UNIX servers) to generating leads for businesses with Google Ads. My IT skills means I do at scale what people don't think to do, don't know how to do, or just don't want to do...

    We had sliding drawers fitted under the atairs a few years ago. I remember talking to the tradesman doing it. He was one of maybe five covering Ireland and there were dozens in the UK. The guy who set it up was an engineer. He figured out how to kit the vans out so they're all the same and how...

    Theoretical vs Real Business Potential - What Can You Really Achieve?

    QUESTION 
    It boiled down to: do I do the work or teach people to do the work? I talk to people every day in or outside my business. The people I most want to spend time with and coach are my sons, and the lads on the football team I coach. Creating videos or content and teaching people how to do...

    Theoretical vs Real Business Potential - What Can You Really Achieve?

    QUESTION 
    I think this is a super important topic. I'm reminded of a few things: 1. We have superpowers and when we use them it's like we're in a slipstream and we move faster effortlessly. We often don't know what our superpowers are, and it's worth asking people who know us really well to fill in a...

    Well done. You might find ads becomes your main package and SEO is the additional package. I think it will help if you reframe this: To: Focus for now is adding more value to the clients I've already got

    Is building your personal brand a good idea while building your SaaS?

    MARKETING 
    Yeah, and I'd say more business run off non-personal brands than run off them. Even freelancers/contractors don't *need* a personal brand. I've been running Google Ads since 2009 for an electrician who does appliance repairs. People search "washing machine repairs dublin", click his ad for...
