Update:
Monthly Revenue: $1250
I have a couple of strong leads in my pipeline but not enough that I am 100% confident. I want to be so overbooked with leads that I can crush my minimums with certainty.
My Recent Actions:
Overall Summary
The last 10 days have been strange. I have felt extremely busy, but I haven't made any progress. The reason is that I have been avoiding the most important thing... Selling. I have come to the realization that I am terrified of selling.
I think that it is something that I have always known, but I treated it like a switch that I could easily flip on someday.
I always made excuses about why I hadn't turned it on, and now that I am working full time on my business, I don't have any excuses to hide behind.
I never gave the skillset the amount of respect that it deserved. I'm studying my a$$ off and It is time to put up or shut up.
Starting on Monday. I am going to start cold calling 30 participants per day. Similar to the format from the thread 90 Day Cold Calling Challenge, I am challenging myself to practice cold calling and make progress towards mastering the skill.
The difference is that my 90-day challenge needs to generate some actual results or I am dead in the water.

My Recent Actions:
- Been testing out the strategy from Crushing B2B Sales with LinkedIn. Overall I have been happy with it. The very first 2 videos I sent both got replies & interest from customers. I sent 10 this week and am going to incorporate it into my strategy. I have been sending connection requests to 100 people every single day and have a large prospect pool to send videos to. Part of the process that is slowing me down is the uploading of the videos. It takes 10+ minutes to upload a single video and throws me out of my rhythm. I need to film the videos in bulk and then upload them in the background while I have focused work on another task.
- Also spent some time playing with Slybroadcast from the thread A tool that I am using with a ridiculous ROI. Been underwhelmed with the results but it is so cheap and isn't time-consuming. I will continue testing it for another week or so and use my remaining credits to see If I can get some traction.
- Attended a local BNI meeting this week. Overall the experience was okay. The lead generation that comes from the group feels forced and I am not 100% sold that joining BNI will be right for my business. Going to test out a couple more BNI chapters next week. Worst case scenario I will get to shake a few more hands and meet a few more faces from the area.
- Attended a networking event and signed up for my new Chamber of Commerce today. A much better experience! People legitimately want to help my business and I gained 2 appointments with local businesses who want some help.
