    EXECUTION 
    I'm getting a swarm of clients or people reaching out to me at the minute. Some are referrals, even from people I've worked with 15 years ago. Some are from posting a couple of years ago in a Facebook group. Some are from a video I posted on YouTube with only 60 views. I'm not suggesting you do...

    3. I'm not sure asking business owners what's eating their time is going to be that helpful. I could be wrong, but their biggest pain point could be lack of business for instance. I swear it's sexier to help a business earn more money than to help a business save money.

    A couple of things: 1. There's nothing wrong with having a job even if your goal is to not end up an employee eventually. A job can keep the roof over your head and allow you to build up revenue on the side. I only say this so you don't discount it out of hand. 2. Selling websites isn't dead...

    Oh, and do you think it's easier to get to $10k/mth selling to consumers, or to businesses that want more money?

    Super interesting reading your "pivot post". You're clearly technical enough to learn skills, and fast. Have you looked at @MTF's rebirth thread or @perchboy's thread where he's helping car detailers? At the end of the day, businesses love spending money that makes them more money and...

    Put summaries like that before the embedded video and then people are more likely to watch it, or not if they think it's not for them. It's actually a lesson for all of us in the forum on how we have to sell even something free that might be entertaining or valuable. We can't just drop some...

    Oh no! If everyone can do it then there's no hope for entrepreneurship. AI is making it impossible to compete now. We're all doomed!

    MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle

    EXECUTION 
    Huh? You figured out how to generate leads for local service businesses with Google Ads and it cost you $150. People pay thousands on courses, and never figure out how to generate a lead. I don't tell people outside the forum how I do what I do. Consider it insider knowledge, which I give...

    Just run it and see? I load for all locations and let the clicks come from wherever they come. All this wondering beforehand is a waste of time. Launch and learn. @MTF @IceCreamKid @piano

    This is so cool. A new roofing client was repairing some roofs when The Kings Horses came past. He zoomed in on Windsor Castle at the end. And managed to sneak a view of his van in too. I've told him to send me it so I can add some captions. View...

    OR... Follow the advice of an author I forget the name of: "If it ain't a hit, switch." I started something similar with law firms in Ireland and quit the next day. They don't answer their phones at lunch time. Feck that. I'd rather work with people who see the value immediately in what...

    That's what I realised after nearly 17 years, so fair play figuring it out so early. Now then. Have you tried generating leads yet to prove to yourself you can in the locations you loaded, and have you used said leads to acquire paying clients?
