Hey everyone,
I'm 20 and this forum is changing my life...
I don't want this to be a thread that is like I accomplished anything or something like that, I don't want to celebrate...I guess I'm just proud that I am executing and it's exciting. By no reason do I think I'm doing really well, I just feel I am doing better than ever before and wanted to share.
Threads that are inspiring this thread:
@Get Right –"Today is my 1 year..."
@Envision "Its been one year of FLF for me..."
My net-worth has gone up 7% this month. I have worked with tons of new clients and I feel great!
Take action. I want to talk about why I'm saying take action (and not just MJ and every-other forum member, haha). I slowly have been cutting down the decisions I make in my business to do only the things that get me more sales. @eekern has been super helpful, shout out. Ever so slowly I am bringing in more money and I am locking in better deals. Why is this happening? – because I'm pitching more. I have pitched hundreds of people in last month or two. Some people apply for 4 jobs or they send out 20 emails... I am literary pitching hundreds of people and it's working. Massive action is getting me good results, but they are not great.
Why are my results good, but not great? Very simple problem, I just need to charge more. I'm already charging a good amount, but it's nothing like what other people in my industry charge.
Are my results sustainable? No... but I'm slowly learning more and more about how the inside of Fastlane businesses by doing the jobs I'm doing.
Will I switch to a Fastlane business soon? Probably not soon, but I'm working on a few Fastlane side projects. I am beginning to really look at diversifying my income.
I'm so excited. I feel that every month I'm on this forum I learn so much and I get so much better at taking real action (action that earns me real results)!
Is what I'm doing Fastlane?
No, no it's not... That being said I like it and I see how I could turn it into a Fastlane business.
Some tips on what I have found works
The biggest thing I wanted to share is something pretty simple...
Thanks @MJ DeMarco
Thanks @eekern
Thanks @Fox (still awaiting on a reply to that message I sent you
)
7% up in July, not August BTW

Some tips on what I have found works
- Go Bigger – Whatever number you think of when you think of something, 10x it. If I want to pitch 10 clients, I'll pitch 100. Gary V talks about outworking the competitors... do it.
- Have more sources of income – This may be counter intuitive to people with clients to focus on, but here's the deal, I love having 3 clients, but I love having 6 clients even more. The more streams of income you can have the better. Of course do good work, but you should always be looking for more clients. Never settle just for the ones you have because at some point they will not be your client anymore and you will need to find new clients.
- Read those two threads I put up top (they are awesome threads)
The biggest thing I wanted to share is something pretty simple...
What I'm finding is people complain they don't have enough time, they complain about lots of things and they pretend to be entrepreneurs by reading things online.
The only way I have found to change my income, my relationships, and my overall life is to take action. Literally, go install Rescue Time on your computer, you will see how many hours you are respectively wasting on Facebook and Twitter and other stuff. If you take calculated action, you will see results. Even with 1 hour a day.
