I came across this wonderful piece by Padebi Ojomo on Facebook (you should search for her on Facebook). She is highly intelligent and comes across as someone who knows her onions. This particular post struck a chord with me and I hope this message hits home and gets someone to make a move. The time to start is now! I encourage you to read, digest and get to work asap.
What 10 things I wished someone had told me when I started my business.
1. Just start. There will never be the right time. You will never feel ready. Just jump. Clarity will come from action. Action dissolves fear. A year from now, you'll wish you had started today.
2. Done is better than perfect.
3. Your mindset is your most precious asset. Take care of it.
Forget what other people think. Don’t try to change or convince naysayers. Instead lead by example, carve out your own path and demonstrated to them there is a better way with your actions not your words.
4. Likes and followers are an illusion of success. A lot of broke people look good on the outside. So stop comparing yourself when you don't know what's really going on behind the scenes.
5. What seems like so much information now will become second nature in no time. In one year, I went from no idea what an optin, hosting or wordpress was to having a optin pages, sales pages, email series, autoresponder, website, traffic, etc.
6. Make your goals non-negotiable. It’s not if, but when. Take steps every day to make your goals come to fruition. Measure your results daily. Don’t feel deflated if you miss the mark, learn from it and keep going.
7. You don’t know it until you implement it. Your results reflect what you know. So, do you know?
8. Trust that you know the answer. Follow your heart and do what makes your heart sing.
9. Don’t ever stop getting uncomfortable. What feels uncomfortable now will soon feel normal. But if you’re not scared or uncomfortable each and every day, then you’re not stretching yourself or growing.
10. Ask for help. Invest in yourself. Not by throwing spaghetti at the wall with every new shiny object. Not by investing in things where the price is right. Not by investing in programs because they are from some big time guru. But invest in an A-Z structured program that will help you with getting booked and getting paid consistently.
Hire others to do what you suck at or dislike. It will save you time and money in the long run.
But never ever think you can outsource your sales and marketing until you master those skills first.
