4 steps to unf*ck your entrepreneurial journey
|
Hey Reader, Happy Thursday! If you're still struggling to launch your business and dream of freedom, try these steps out: If you have a job, stop wasting all your free time on social media and TVThe only way to escape the rat race is to use your time to build a business and replace your income. If you’re squandering your limited time on social media and TV, you’ll never get ahead. If you plan to retire early, you’ll have plenty of time to binge TV. I’m saving Breaking Bad just for this moment. It’s going to go crazy, I know. Please, no spoilers haha. Ideas are worthless without execution. Pick something and start learning.Breadcrumbs was my first business that ultimately failed. I learned so much from Breadcrumbs that it allowed me to envision other businesses. That’s how I discovered Scattermind was possible. So, I wouldn’t be an entrepreneur if I hadn’t taken those first steps. Building businesses will teach you more about business than anything else. The idea isn’t worth anything if you don’t start & execute. You learn to execute by building things and taking action. Get started! Try to sell the idea before building itDon’t fall into the trap of building some crazy app; when you go to sell it, you realize that no one wants it. You don’t want to build a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. The easiest way to overcome this is - Talk to customers - Read the MOM test - Create an Avatar and Offer - Read $100M Offers - Reach out to people in your network and get them to buy it from you - SPIN selling If you say you’re going to build something, build it and see it throughThe most important thing besides starting is being consistent. Start treating your word as bond. When you say you will build something, give yourself a deadline and make it happen. If you can’t get yourself to execute and take yourself seriously, there won’t be anyone there to push you. You need to hold yourself accountable because no one else will. |

Hey Reader, Today, I want to talk about how not being an executor caused my first business to fail. “I’ll Do It Later” Almost Ruined My Life In 2017, I launched my first side project with friends. It was a diversity-focused magazine called SHADES—my attempt to showcase my diverse friend group and the beauty of diversity. This was the same year as the Charlottesville Rally (Boo). So proud of how far I've come :D But within a year, it flopped. My friends dropped the project. And honestly? I...
Hey Reader, Today I want to talk about how to ensure you don’t waste your weeks. The College Wake-Up Call Sophomore year, I tried to fix my grades by doing nothing but studying. No social life. No workouts. Just books and stress. Result? I received 3 Cs. Lol, maybe I should have been a Jewish History major I had never received a C in high school. My strategy was not working. I wondered if I was becoming dumb. Turns out, if you give yourself all day to do something, you’ll take all day to not...
Hey Reader, Today, I want to talk about how Joyce’s Physical Therapy for Ravers business went from $7k/mo to $15k/mo within 5 months. Joyce is a physical therapist for Ravers aka "The Physio Raver." She helps ravers eat, sleep, rave, repeat — pain-free. How cool is that?!? But, by late 2024, she was averaging $7k/mo after hitting $10k once.She wanted to hit $10k consistently, but couldn't. Every time she onboarded new clients, she would pause her marketing. Then her income would dip. She was...
