A even smaller percentage will pay hundred of dollar for an hour’s consultation.<br /> <br /> So this ultra-niche market, if it exists, it’s definitely not average young men seeking validation through casual relationship with random women.<br /> <br /> He has to think it backwards that what kind of women who enter men’s life are worth at least mid 6 digits equivalent worth of value.

Bla bla bla trouble, MY FRIEND when I started last year after every boiler I replaced I drove home with a nagging feeling in my chest thinking I might have forgotten something, what if the flue gas pipe wasn’t placed correctly?! This is keeping you sharp, THIS IS THE PROCESS.<br /> <br /> Mowing lawns seem like a F*cking paradise to me, the grass can’t suddenly sprinkle water onto these people’s €4500 floor, or kill them if not installed correctly.<br /> <br /> I had to learn how to climb roofs, the first roof I didn’t even know you could slide the roof tiles so I was just spider manning at 5 meters high. So I asked an other plumber how they do this, I learned.<br /> <br /> <b>2. </b>Do you actually want it bad enough? These are genuine critical questions you have to ask yourself. Are you willing to go through the discomfort and able to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Contemplate on this, get away from your social media, this forum. Sit in your garden or a park and contemplate, no woo woo but actually think about what it is that you want out of this life and what are you willing to sacrifice for that.<br /> <br /> Do you want to own a home? What kind of home<br /> <br /> Do you want kids? How many<br /> <br /> Do you want to get married? To what kind of women<br /> <br /> All of this costs MONEY, and a lot. So how much lawn care clients would you need to get this money. GET AFTER THOSE CLIENTS.<br /> <br /> <b>3. </b>Feeling that you are not doing <b>“enough”. </b>Crucial and I have to learn this as well, work smarter not harder. You filling your entire day right now with plan A: your job, Plan B: lawn care and Plan C: dating advice, makes you accomplish absolutely nothing but a heap of 3 different styles of crap<br /> <br /> I hope there is a lesson in this, I have to remind myself to follow my own advice sometimes. But that is fine, you take a small detour and learn something. You realize that the other option is also full of problems that need fixing, and you can pivot or revert. But you have to go past the hurdles, there is no way around. Every way around leads to mediocrity. </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a role="button" tabindex="0">Click to expand...</a></div> </div> </blockquote>I think no matter what you say to him , it is part of self-realization and self-growth when every option has been tried and quitted so one will understand that maybe the path was not the problem but my expectations that everything will just fall in my lap cause &quot;I deserve it&quot; and one will focus I say &quot; Let him cook&quot;</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I first came to the forum back in 2011 maybe? 2013?

I didn&#039;t come back until 2019 and only after hearing a couple people in my life bring it up again.<br /> <br /> Threads like this and comments like &quot;sloppy seconds&quot; devalue the place and should have no place in a business forum discussion.<br /> <br /> I only mention it because others are praising the commentary...<br /> <br /> There are better ways to make the point than resorting to reddit-like personal attacks.<br /> <br /> And there are so many better ways to earn a living than &quot;dating coach&quot;. It is shocking to me that at 30 years old you feel this is the only expertise you can bring to the world.

You have to be comfortable talking to people about their problems, outlining how you&#039;ll solve them, and offering to solve those problems for $$$$$.<br /> <br /> You also have to be comfortable getting rejected, and talking around/through that rejection to get to the sale, or reflecting on the rejection so you can overcome it next time.<br /> <br /> Rejection is good. Every rejection is a chance to reflect on what didn&#039;t work, and to solve that specific problem. Every rejection is a failure of the system, and every failure can be corrected until there are no more failures, but that requires OP overcoming his endurance problem.<br /> <br /> <blockquote data-attributes="member: 72777" data-quote="BizyDad" data-source="post: 1170500" class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--expandable bbCodeBlock--quote js-expandWatch"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-title"> <a href="/community/goto/post?id=1170500" class="bbCodeBlock-sourceJump" rel="nofollow" data-xf-click="attribution" data-content-selector="#post-1170500">BizyDad said:</a> </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-content"> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandContent js-expandContent "> You can&#039;t get a sales job? </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a role="button" tabindex="0">Click to expand...</a></div> </div> </blockquote><br /> There are sales jobs working directly for dating coaches that already have a team of sales people and a proven sales process that they&#039;re happy to teach. But it won&#039;t be comfortable getting the job.<br /> <br /> The hiring person will ask him to sell them something during their interview. No matter how he does, they&#039;ll reject him at the end, tell him it was shit and he&#039;s not cut out for this line of work. If he persists, they might invite him to a second interview and do it again.<br /> <br /> They want people who do not accept &quot;no&quot; as an answer. The purpose of the interview is weeding out people who give up too easily/soon, because these coach businesses are already doing all of the action steps I outlined above. They&#039;re willing to lose some sales while training sales people, but every time a sale isn&#039;t closed, it costs them thousands of dollars, plus time, effort, and energy, so they need the right people from the start.</div>
