Wow, what a day yesterday

Sales data shows 79% of leads never convert at all. 40% to 60% of lost deals aren't lost to competitors. They are lost to prospects making no decision. Learning to sell urgency, learning how to handle rejections, learning how to get them to buy no is so important.

You can't convert anyone into a buyer if they don't need what you want and if the offer is bad. Make sure the offer is good and true and that you are talking to the right people before you learn how to handle rejections.

Is this a hot take? Must give free value before you expect to earn.

Now im a full time founder i never spend to impress i only spend to save time, to learn, to test and to improve relationships. Your future self will be let down if you spend your money on trying to impress others.

Delayed gratification will get you so far

Example maths, not real numbers: You sell a £400 service. You have 4 clients, so £1,600 a month. You close 2 more this month. That's £2,400, a 50% jump. Try getting that from a pay rise.

Get good at not turning on your phone to every notification you get If you are working on your laptop and you hear your phone go of, don't get distracted. Every time you you check your notifications you are making it harder to focus on what matters.

Monetisation is a shit metric to focus on. Yes the subscription feature on x can be good, but you get paid pennies from x. If your a founder creating a valuable product that people like and pay for is way more important to build toward.

I scrolled Instagram for 1 hour 20 minutes one morning. I normally never scroll. I'm grateful I caught it and went straight back to work. Slipping happens. What matters is how quickly you get back to it.

I once joined a business that had only been an idea for a year. Pay and equity were promised. Nothing was signed. I did the brand and research work. My messages sat on read for days. Sometimes you have to walk away from good opportunities.

The top 5% of people use AI properly but the mistake the top 5% of people make is that they end up using AI and then they take time off. I want to use AI so then I can use that spare time to grow.
