Hi All,
There was one nugget that I learned watching a YouTube video interview with MJ DeMarco. After explaining the book and talking about some of the problems entrepreneurs face, he left viewers with one piece of advice. I thought it was so good I wrote it down on a plastic coffee cup lid, because that was all I had to write on at the time!
The idea was that anything you can do to create something valuable for people that exists independent of your time is a step in the right direction.
It could be a video you make, a podcast, or some downloadable product or software. The key is to just start that process and make something for others to access without your time connected to it. I just wanted to share that with people on the forum, because I've looked at that coffee lid several times, and it always serves as a great reminder. Since then I've taken positive steps forward and my business is finally gaining momentum.
I hope this nugget is helpful to those of you just getting started.
