WARNING: Contains hard truths many entrepreneurs just aren't ready to hear. I've personally mentored hundreds of people- here's 11 behaviours that could change everything for you:
Have five great stories you can tell at conference after parties that are NOTHING to do with business to make people be shocked/laugh/like you. ~I’m super awkward socially so this might be good to have on the back burner if I’m going to events. I prob should be. But...the awkwardness and anxiety 😥 but this can be for posting content too.
“You would not believe the six and seven-figure agency deals that get closed over boozy lunches and stories.” Where do i sign up for this? 😂 Ex: Tequila Jen dropped her I-phone in the tub and had to get a new one. To be fair it was REALLY GOOD tequila. Sneaks up and wallops ya! So now I’ll def make a post on this and tie it in to business.
Yeh, and spending money is part of the game. So many new entrepreneurs don't see it that way. There are coaches who...don't have coaches. So they don't believe in what they're selling? 🤔🤣
Yeh, have seen this so many times. You never know what your audience will like. My agency posts 10 videos per day per platform for this reason, winners emerge

It could be stories about things you've read about or seen on the internet, even meme trends! I be explaining memes at parties all the time :P

Haha thanks. Agency game is corrupt, they are the clients who have gotten most burned with all the fake stuff I talked about in this article: https://dailycheatcodes.substack.com/p/exposed-30-ways-influencers-cheated?sd=pf - But, to be in that world:
> Make friends with people in the agency/corporate world
> Speak at conferences
> Entertain clients (My friend spends sometimes $20,000 to entertain a client over a weekend)
> Have social time with the people in that world (Soho House etc)
It's an exhausting game :)
Well that went from sounding awesome to sounding terrible real quick haha.
It's just one viewpoint! Go prove me wrong I'm here for it always!
It's easier to sell to businesses than it is to sell to individuals, because businesses can write off whatever you're selling.

Don't forget that content that you might think is cringe is actually loved by someone else!

I wish I knew that there is no such thing as perfection. Don't worry about how crappy things look - just get it out there and tweak it as you go!
Yeh! The "Lean Startup" was a life-changing book for me, a big cultural thinkpiece which moved this idea into the mainstream
I once asked a guy online "how can I help you?"
30 min later he offered to buy a factory for me.
It didn't happen (yet), but crazy how fast things can escalate.
Go out there and talk to people, you never know.
