    10 Lessons I've Learned From 10+ Years Of Building Businesses...

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I feel that. I have never had a full-time job in my life, and have always been an entrepreneur. Even the part-time jobs I had years ago gave me the Sunday scaries... or the everyday scaries, since I hated going every time. Lol. I still get mini-scaries with my business because there's still...

    That's pretty sweet, I love that. I'm obviously biased toward marketing because I'm the "Financial Advisor Marketing" guy, but there are lots of ways to build a successful business. My general process has always been something like: 1. Choose a niche that you like, can find, and is profitable...

    I've gotten a few offers to sell, including one from a former Major League Baseball player if you can believe it. Which I can't really understand because my business relies a lot on my personal brand, so I'm not sure what he would do with it. A long time ago I was ranking in Google for almost...

    Yep, and a lot of that depends on your personality. Some personality types are highly regimented (mine is) and it’s just easier to have a routine. But even if it’s not in one’s personality, it’s a developable skill.

    Yep, that's correct. I am no longer in the cleaning business. But when I was, I started off cleaning homes and offices.

    Hey, I’m a long-time lurker (I had an account before this one) but a first-time poster. I’ve been building businesses for 10+ years. I’ve done stuff like e-commerce, office cleaning, and publishing. I’m not a billionaire or anything like that, but I’ve done okay. I’ve adopted many of the...

    MINDSET SCALING 
    I have a monthly physical newsletter that I mail. I recently raised prices from $99 per month to $199 per month, and it's been pretty awesome. I can tell that people qualify themselves a little more (which is fantastic) and take it more seriously. A few people told me I should've raised my...
