    How To Become Articulate In Writing and Presenting Ideas

    QUESTION 
    Story telling and relatability. Some great answers in this thread. I'm calling these two out as important elements to consider - especially useful in training / educational type of content. Sharing personal insights, stories and getting the audience to 'read' the stuff between the lines, behind...

    EXECUTION 
    Wow it's coming up to nearly a year since my last update. My coaching has been a lower priority unfortunately, as I support my partners counselling business - and put that as #1 priority. During this time, I have come to accept that this is the role I need to focus on, and work towards...

    Social Media Destroys Entrepreneurs. Grow Your Business Without It.

    HOT! RANT 
    Great post and excellent replies. One way I think about social media, such as instagram, is that it is an 'evidence library' for building trust with potential new clients. So if they are in the 'consideration phase' before contacting you or buying from you, they can check out 'who' you are...

    We started our entrepreneur journey in a caravan on tour. In fact we had a second car as well towing our toybox full of toys and extras... eg high powered ebikes! It was awesome. It lasted 6 months up the East coast of Australia. In fact we are celebrating 5 years in business right now. It was...

    It's been over a month since my last update. I'll keep it short. I finally have our printed product boxes coming in from China. I will use these as a marketing piece to get visibility on our brand and our counselling business. So even if people dont buy our product thet may be interested enough...

    EXECUTION 
    Good question. And heres the part I need to articulate in my marketing and services. I'm not a 'business guru' nor aim to be one specifically. Where I can help is in the mindset and strategy. The handling of stress, problems and perspective. My services are all geared around providing...

    I quit my Job

    HOT! 
    Great work, Ive always liked the idea of a pressure washing business, its actually quite relaxing / therapeutic as well sometimes, when I'm cleaning out the paths and such things around the house. I agree that the 'oddly satisfying' video and before / after stuff is a good tactic, its very...

    What are the three best purchases you made in the last 3 years?

    HOT! 
    Ebikes for sure - I have way too many, (side hustle/hobby) but are so much fun. Work wise - I like my 4 bay synology - makes accessing files, backing up and protecting data really easy and saves time. Plus you can learn more about technology with all its apps and capabilities. Trips away and...

    GOLD! 
    Ive used the GSD system over the last week and have found it useful to hone in working on the priority things more, and not letting procrastiantion prevent me from getting to the actual important things. I thinks its ok to still use paper and other things to doodle, experiement and jot. But...

    What's a good job to have?

    MINDSET 
    I was thinking about something similar today. I think the best jobs as far as easiness and good money go is in the advice consulting work. Not working or creating something. These days it just seems like the value of creating 1 thing for 1 client is of low value. The only breakthrough is when...

    Thought I would give an update, since its been a week or so since my last update. I have run a facebook ad and a google ad over the last week, some changes made on the go, but basically left untouched. Trying to use some longtail keywords, my google ads finally started to work, and got a...

    hehe, yeah, but it didnt sink in, (slow learner it seems.) So have re-read and its slowly sinking in. So plans for a massive revamp are on hold, rather, some slow & minor improvements to the landing page, and will now spend more time on targeting the RIGHT audience, and get the value/offer...

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I tend to agree, I have paused both ads to stop draining my tight budget. I am going to spend a couple of weeks reworking the product, the whole plan and probably the offer. possibly tying it in with real 1 on 1 conselling for people who really need it. I will spend more time on the copy as its...

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Thanks for the reply and input. Some interesting insights there that I have thought about as well. The market will always determine value in the end, but I think you are right about more analysis required on the PPC & keywords that are relevant. Hopefully I can learn faster by analysing the...
