Hey guys, lots of great posts in here. I still have to read some of the latest ones.
In the meantime let me clarify a little bit.
I feel like I'm getting pimped by my job. Sure I make good money, but I'm literally whoring out my time. That is the main thing I am sick of.
If I had those 8 hours of the day to myself everyday I would be exhausting every possible way of selling customerspossible. Reading blogs or books has passed for me. I've already read a good amount to get where I am today. I am in the DOING stage and don't have time for reading or anything else except selling my business.
I have definitely only scratched the surface of finding clients. I've sent out 3 blasts to lists as a cold call email.
Which leads me to the dilemmna. Cold calling, meeting customers in person, promotion at events and the like all require my full time attention. I send out cold call emails because that's all I can afford at this time with my day job. Emails and AdWords, which are both passive.
Someone posted a threads about the guy going all in and drowning. That sucks horribly. and I hope he recovers, however I didn't read it because I don't care to fill my head with his thoughts. I've failed TONs of times in my previous affiliate marketing career and had few but great successes. I feel like I'm ad ready as I'll ever be. I just don't have the client base YET. Because I just launched and I can't focus on it full time.
I hope that may clear aime things up for some people. Also I work at a start up company so my role is very entrepreneurial and demanding, which is a huge drain throughout the day. This is when I think to myself what if I worked this hard for me? What could I accomplish? I know I have a LOT to learn and there will be uncertainty and even hardship, but I think I'm equipped with enough knowledge and preperation to persevere and succeed through those trying times.
EDIT: I'm confused because I don't know WHY I WOULDNT GET CLIENTS. That's the thing. I know I don't have clients now because I just started and I haven't figured how to get them yet.
I had this problem with models and solved it. Now I have to solve it for clients. And since other companies get them why can't I?
