    It might be ineffective if you just go door to door in random neighborhoods. But he's talking about knocking on doors where he's already working on a job. So not only is the time investment minimal, but he already know there is at least some demand in the area and he has social proof. They can...

    This is huge! Congratulations!! Isn't it crazy that a rejection can make you happy? :D Keep doing this! Just imagine the potential this can have not just for the business, but for everything else in your life, too. Your self-confidence, how you approach difficult situations, even dating.

    Just do it! It almost seems like all the Facebook ads stuff is mostly procrastination. People have to see your ad, then reach out, then maybe you can talk to them eventually. With the door it’s just, knock knock - boom, you’re talking! Heck, if it’s so difficult for you, have you tried asking...

    It sounds like you’re procrastinating, putting off things that seem scary/overwhelming. Have an AI design the flyer and just go with it or make minimal changes. Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. It doesn’t have to be perfect, you can always improve it later. In fact, in the beginning...

    Do you follow a script? You should use a script, so you can measure what is working and what isn't. Some people say you should book two calls - one short "setting" call, where you just make sure that the lead is qualified (has the required money available, really wants to work at it, is ready...

    I know a company that does €40M+ in annual revenue and they still use the owner's name, even though they now have lots of employees and people are aware of that. And even companies with 50+ employees still use the faces of their staff on their website. So I also wouldn't think you're a 1 person...

    I do think you should keep your face on the website. If anything, maybe you should even post on YouTube/TikTok under your own name to build your brand. I'd much rather order a job from Ethan, who seems like a nice and reliable guy, than just some random anonymous company.

    The new website looks nice! Couple things: - The photo is great, but you're hiding the phone number on your van - your phone number isn't easily visible on the website otherwise either (and it seems like there are two different numbers) - Love the before-after shots with the slider - You should...

    Hi Ethan, sorry to read about the breakup. You're being way to hard on yourself. A breakup always sucks and we're all human beings and not robots. Now I don't know you, but to me it doesn't sound like you're lazy, but rather a bit exhausted and overwhelmed. This is natural. It's unrealistic to...

    Need someone to evaluate accounting software for me - VA? Where to hire?

    Yes, that's something the person doing this work could do (among other options). It's not a good use of my own time.

    Need someone to evaluate accounting software for me - VA? Where to hire?

    I don't really think I could generally use a VA at the moment, but there is one thing I really need help with: I'm looking for a tool, or a collection tools, that would cover the following needs: Log hours spent by hour staff (timesheets), ideally both billable and non-billable hours Generate...

    Building a Beauty Empire. From 0 to 180k profit in 8 month and beyond

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION 
    I guess that makes sense for a local business - but what if you have a brand/online store that ships internationally? Everything would be in English anyway, so I would be open to working with a company from anywhere. They would have to do Instagram/Tiktok marketing, videos I could have produced...

    Lol, this is like the typical pyramid scheme/scam. "Buy my course on how to get rich selling courses for $1k. The course is just $1k. Instant learning guaranteed!" The problem is that, at some point, you run out of greater fools to sell to.

    Best Laptop for Enterpreneurs?

    Some newer Macs have outstanding battery life, but you can also get this with some of the new AMD processors. It's easy to say "Macs have better battery life" when there are like 5 Mac models on the market, vs. thousands of Windows models. If you're not used to using a Mac, it can absolutely...
