Recently, we’ve started reflecting on how crazy the startup world is now compared to when we started. No one was really in business, or had side hustles when we got into business… We had to figure it all out the messy way - try and fail. After 15+ years in business, we thought we’d share some advice we wish we knew when we started and we know that startup business owners in 2024 need to hear. We are talking about everything from how to land your first clients, how to build credibility in your market from the start, and the mistakes we made that nearly cost us our businesses so that YOU can avoid doing them too.You’ll hear:🔥 Why NO ONE is buying from you🔥 The importance of building an audience EARLY🔥 Why you need a personal brand, rather than a business brand🔥The most IMPORTANT money metric - if you’re not analysing this, your business will fail… and so much more.Tune in to the end to hear our answers to YOUR questions about our biggest mistakes in business and how you can avoid them.

If business isn’t going how you expected it to in 2024, it’s probably a good time to listen to this episode.The main reason that MOST of our clients have slow sales periods is simple - they’re not getting enough views. Not enough people see your content or offer, resulting in low sales conversion. So if you feel like you are pumping out the content and offers but aren’t getting any new followers, views or leads then there are 3 things you can do to spice up your engagement. In this episode, we’re talking about how to write content that will create MORE engagement, an Instagram trick that is impacting your views, and how to use your personal experiences or client's personal experiences and turn them into INCREDIBLE content. You’ll hear:🔥 Examples of how WE write our emails with the highest click-through rate🔥 Tim’s formula for creating the perfect story & hook for your audience🔥 What are your audience’s survival needs and why you NEED to know this to boost your salesTune in to the end to hear our answers to YOUR questions about how we would shake up a business going through a lull.If you want to submit your own question join our Free Facebook Group Watch the YouTube version of the podcast here.Ready to build your 7 Figure+ Business?
