    Yeah I had blinders on. Biggest eye opener was @Real Deal Denver said, “You're sitting on a goldmine, but you’re looking for diamonds.”

    Thank you for the insight. Jeff is doing something really cool. Almost like a licensing type arrangement. I sell insurance for Progressive Non-Commissioned. Im unable to be a captive agent at this time. Think of it as customer service sales...yuck! I burned a lot of bridges chasing my dream...

    Purely amazing stuff. I copied and bookmarked this post. Running it through my head over and over again. It’s well underway now. I’ll shoot you a PM with the link to show you what I got going. Thank you for always providing pure Gold.

    It’s a theme I found on the forums here, but it’s too limited. My posts need a little cleanup. Let me be more clear if that helps. 1. I want to build and manage an agency providing PPC services among others. I just learned AdWords, but I’m not even close to offering that service. 2. I want to...

    It’s hard NOT to take offense when the comments get personal, but aside from that there is some SOLID advice from people I would pay to just pick their brains. Luckily, we have this forum! Paid off my lowest account from the IRS and setup a payment plan. I also said to hell with it and went...

    Action fake? I'm taking action and getting things done! Results are in the progress being made daily. I don't need your accountability, but it would be great to share my journey with others. Feedback is always great if you know how to deliver it. Your negative tone and criticism hides the...

    Good morning to you too! I plan to call them. Sorry I didn’t make that clear. IF they don’t convert on the first contact they’ll be put into my automated follow up system. Basic CRM rules.

    I’m contacting business owners in the engineering, surveying, construction, and other B2B companies with horrible sites. This week I’m contacting as many as I need to land the first deal. I’m creating a framework site for my top picks and sending them a demo copy. Follow up with a payment to...

    Update: 7/7: Adwords Search Certification Passed!! (photo attached) Feeling pretty good tonight. I got off of work and dove deep into the last 3hrs of my Adwords course. I took the test and passed (barely) with an 81%. Now, I have to focus in on the key areas I struggled with. I have the Udemy...

    Thanks Walter, I can see how it can get costly making samples. When you know your stuff works you don’t worry about converting clients. You just need a chance to prove it. That’s my philosophy. I can create ads fairly quickly (30 minutes tops after initial client research), setup quick...

    The last two days have been eye opening. Thanks to the feedback and bluntness of several users I was able to realign my focus. I've read soooo much over the last two days and this forum is truly GOLD! Im not sure if I will be a PPC Agency, but having this knowledge will be helpful regardless...

    Beers all around. I’m resonating with what you’re saying and it makes sense. Back to the drawing board to rethink my target. Going back to Unscripted to find these missing pieces. Appreciate you

    Thank you. As my mind races I’m going to let this marinate. So many options and avenues. A true rollercoaster of ideas and emotions. I did commit to learning AdWords because I’ve never been good at marketing and that’s a skill I’ll always use. Plus it can generate extra business if postioned...

    This is exactly what I needed. With a decent budget it wouldn't be too hard to take a few people to lunch or meet for a breakfast. In person meetings are good if expected. Nobody likes a "pop-by" unless you have something good to deliver. I was never into this type of interruption marketing...

    Motivations change over time. What motivates me now is the pain of my situation and knowing I have a skill set to change it. What motivates me is that I have the opportunity through this forum, to network with others and truly grasp the concepts in the books and learn from doers not teachers...

    Thanks! It's easy to get worked up when you're dealing with dreams and pains. Yeah, I have my manic moments, but a Red Bull and a shaky ride home typing on your phone can lead to the same results. Plus I swear I have a demon in my auto-correct settings. (sometimes I just don't give a duck)...

    Thinkific is great. I launched a company called PhitPheonix with my cousin using that platform. She loves it. And I'm tired of building without results. I choose control over design and experience over the automation and ease of use, BUT that doesn't make a course. The content does. I've...

    Hey that's where the ego gets checked at the door. I'm learning and open but don't confuse that with chasing money. I'm switching paths and ditching the idea thanks mainly to the feedback here. I'm here to learn and not defend an I'll advise position. Thanks for being honest. I expect it...
