You Have One Job: Sell Something | Businessing
You have one job as a business owner, and it's selling. Everything else, the website, the social media, the funnels, comes second.
Three million Americans started a business in the first half of this year, and Pat says if you just joined the cool kids club, there's one law of the universe you have to accept: you're in the sales business first, and the provider of whatever you actually do second. From there he runs two Idea Slam questions, one on delegating without losing your mind, and one on whether to fire a client who pays well but sucks the life out of you. Plus the news you need this morning, the Iran conflict and what the markets are really saying, Canada's wildfires wrecking the air across the upper Midwest, and Argentina and Spain in the World Cup final on Sunday. He closes with why every business owner needs a coach, even the coach.
