    Is it possible to look forward to working on your business just as much as weekends and vacations?

    MINDSET 
    I'm away for 10 days next week for a holiday and it got me thinking. We all look forward to weekends and vacations for a bit of relaxation and a break from the routine, but what about our businesses? Do you find yourself just as excited to get back to work? Can we cultivate the same sense of...

    Roast my Email (or SMS/cold call script etc)

    MARKETING 
    I thought it might be useful for those of us who do cold outreach to have a roast my outreach content thread. We could post our content here and get some feedback from the business owners in the group on whether they liked it, hated it or offer advice on what they'd change. I'll start. Here's...

    How do you like to be pitched?

    PEOPLE 
    As a business owner for over 20 years I've been on the receiving end of hundreds of sales pitches on various channels. My personal opinion is I prefer sales people to just get straight to the point, tell me what you're selling, how much and I'll quickly tell you if I'm interested or not...

    What's the best cold email or DM you've ever received?

    MARKETING 
    Been doing a lot of research into cold outreach. Done correctly it can work really well. What worked in 2015 however may not work as they do now. What's the best cold email you've ever received? Would you be more inclined to respond if somebody asked for advice rather than pitched their...

    Do business owners understand that getting more reviews helps bring in more customers?

    MARKETING 
    I'm in the process of trying to scale my Saas (aimed at service based businesses) and would like some feedback on the best verbiage to use in my elevator pitch. My software does the following all autopilot: Helps get business owners 3x more reviews compared to asking manually Amplifies those...

    Are you working on a legacy business or just a business that helps you to enjoy other activities (or both!)

    Myself and @RazorCut have been discussing this for a number of months now and I think it would be interesting to get other people's thoughts. For years now I've always wondered why millionaires, billionaires and other generally wealthy people all still continue in their line of work. Or start...

    Best niche to target with CRM/Saas

    MARKETING SAAS / APPS 
    I'm looking to generate some side income by signing up clients for the CRM/Saas I use for my agency. I have an affiliate link but rather than do it that way I wanted to package it as a program specifically for a certain niche. It doesn't cost me any money to add further clients so might aswell...

    If you had $10m in the bank what would you do every day?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I've seen this question asked in lots of places when someone wants to know what their "purpose" is or if they're looking for an "enlightenment". So you've just checked your bank balance and there's $10m in the bank. You've bought the nice cars, travelled a little and have all the clothes you...

If you are interested in digital marketing and have any questions on the pay per appointment/show model ask any questions here and I'll answer them with...

    Travel Expenses paid via company

    For those of you who travel, do you ever claim expenses via your company either as a Director or employee? I'm thinking of spending a month or two in Spain working and would like to put the expenses through the company.

    If money wasn't an issue what would you do with the majority of your time?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    The answer to this question is something that I've been thinking about lately. I've always wanted to have lots of money - I like nice cars, big houses and the freedom to travel anywhere but what like anything else shiny objects lose their appeal after a while. Just on a bigger scale. Not that I...

    Thinking of learning Spanish during the lockdown

    I have a lot of extra time on my hands at the moment and have always loved the idea of learning to speak Spanish. My ultimate aim is to earn enough money to move to Spain full time so it certainly makes sense to learn the language beforehand. I've been reading different methods online and from...

    Why don't I get a proper job?

    PEOPLE 
    As i'm currently waiting for my latest business venture to take off i'm getting some push back from my Wife now about getting a "proper" job. Even though i'm about a start as a taxi driver to supplement my income whilst my business is growing she's made a few comments now about the security...

    Working from home - do you have a designated room for working?

    I've worked from home for a few years now, I have my own office but often I'll work from the living room or another room in the house. (Like watching a seminar lying on my bed) My wife doesn't like this, she feels that every room in the house is like my office. To be honest I'm starting to...

    I've recently launched my new brand which primarily is being marketed via facebook, instagram influencers and Google ads. I've never ran facebook ads before but i read quite a lot and then i created the facebook ads myself (similar to the ads of my competitor who spends $80k a month) but after...

    How important is a brand story?

    I’m in the process of adding content to my new website whilst waiting for our products to finish production. My products will be sold at a premium price compared to others; how important is creating a brand story, how personal should be it and is it imperative I add content as to why my...
