Hello!
I tought I want to contribute to the formum somehow.
The beginning:
Got to the forum by reading The Millionaire Fastlane .
My journey started here. I got the idea from @Sean Marshall Thank you!
Digital martketing - I started learing about the industry, the work and so on.
Got my first courses from Udemy. Best dollars ever spent, what the hell...
We started our idea about a year ago. Then it was slow progress, because we were learing the basics of digital martketing and web development.
As time progressed, we picked up pretty much knowledge from first projects and studying.
Starting a business is hard, I must admit. It all sounds so easy but in reality, it is something different.
We had some mauch trouble finding clients. We were rookies, didnt know a thing about business.
I started to talk with my friends, family and so on. That we are starting a business. We are offering marketing services..
Its all good and so on, that we were trying.
But I had some problems in my personal life. It is said, that mindset is one of the most important things when starting.
My mindset was all shit, I was an addict. My mindset was pretty broken. Starting as an addict is pretty rough..
I got so much wisdom from this forum. Mindset is something that is sooooo important. It guides us pretty strong.
With a shity mindset, your work and commitment is shit. Mind is wondering too much and is not focused at all.
Hope I made any sense. I am not so good at writing good text.
Starting our business.
When we started, we had so little experience, that is was sad. At least, thinking back. So lesson here, be as rookie as you are, just go forward. Learn, learn, lean and everything will start to change.
Still, no client, hussling hard to get any from facebook friend, family and so on.
Got some client, 2 websites and 1 seo order. We did it all for 600 euros.
We were total rookies, but we managed to do them. Clients were satisfied.
Started going on, it was hell to find clients. Due the fact, that we had only 1 project to show, no previous experience.
We struggled about 5 months. I think we made about 1.5k for 5 months....What a joke eeh?
About 3 times I tought, that I am going to quit it. It wont work out, im too stupid and inexperienced. Im nothing. These were my toughts at the moment.
We had rough times, no clients. Just working on our own SEO and advertising.
Once in a while we got some clients from our connections.
I was pretty beat down about it. I lost hope for some time. It was pretty tough. Business is tough and only crazy people do it
Now I understand it.
But as time went on, we got more clients. We did our best to over deliver. It took sime time, testing, failing, tears, hope lost, hope back.
Last week we achieved our first 3500€ a weeek.
It was a blast for us, we were so happy. What I want to say, people who may read this and are just staring. Do not STOP! Give your everything, just stick with it! Try new things, experiment and so on.
People that are at the same level, just push push and believe! It just takes practice!
Hope this short story gave any hope to people starting!
Be strong.
