πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ When things are taking too long...


When my family visited Japan and needed to get from Osaka to Kyoto, there were 2 options for the train:

​

(Don't worry, this isn't a math word problem from back in school).

​

  • For $4 USD, we could get there in 26 minutes on a regular train
  • For $21 USD, we could get there in 13 minutes on the bullet train

​

We took the slower train (especially with 7 of us), but fast is nice, right? And people will pay more for fast.

​

As online entrepreneurs, that often means paying for ads instead of building an organic audience.

​

If you're like me and don't have the money or don't want to pay for ads - it almost always feels like things are taking too long.

​

(Especially if you constantly see ads from your competitors). πŸ™„

​

When things feel like they are taking too long here's what I do...

​

I slow down.

​

Slow down and think about the things that have gone well.

​

When I started my YouTube channel I initially focused on my low subscriber count...

​

...but when I slowed down and looked for other things going well I realized I got my first client 11 days after launching, and booked multiple speaking gigs in the first 2 months.

​

Yesterday Doug (a guy I'm in a community with) shared his audience isn't gigantic but his YouTube channel is giving him amazing travel opportunities and brand deals.

​

At least once a week, slow down and think about the things that are going well. And you don't have to do it during "working" hours, it can be while you drive, walk, workout, fall asleep - anytime.

​

When you focus on the things going well, everything feels faster - because it is.

Sending you a digital high-five! βœ‹

If we promise something to someone else? We do it. When a client/customer needs something? We take care of it. But there are things we should be doing in our businesses regularly that a lot of us (myself included) skip! They are tasks nobody else is checking up on, and because we are our own bosses - they just don't get done. And some of these things can have HUGE impacts on our success! So I'm excited to test out something new in Done By Lunch Pro: INTRODUCING THE QUARTERLY GLOW-UP Once...

For Growth AND Freedom I wore a bathrobe on stage yesterday at the Social Media Marketing World conference in San Diego... Jerry Potter wearing a bathrobe on stage at Social Media Marketing World in San Diego, California. And apparently it was persuasive because numerous attendees told me they've decided to launch a podcast for their business and put it on YouTube. (FYI the bathrobe did serve a purpose, but I shave to wait until next week's newsletter to share why). If you're curious to learn...

"How am I supposed to sell when it feels like the world is on fire?" A friend asked me that very blunt question last week, and I've been thinking about it ever since. In fact, this isn't the email I was going to write today - but I think it's so important to talk about this. The way to look at this that I'm going to share applies no matter what the chaos is - whether it's politics in the US, people recovering from Cyclone Alfred in Australia, or even if the chaos is in your personal life.
