Funny how technological eras overlap and for some reason a Swiss Watch that tells the time costs more than a super computer that contains all human knowledge and can talk to you.

Influence grows from output, so create rather than consume.

Prolific beats perfect - worry about direction, not perfection - and the more you put out into the world, the more there is for people to find, trust and pay for.

Join me and James Ashford on Monday 16th or Tuesday 17th November for a free live workshop on the personal brand strategy behind his 8-figure exit. He went from a complete unknown to selling GoProposal to Sage in four years, up against competitors with $24 million of funding, and he’ll share exactly how he did it: bit.ly/4AlFGxz

There are three baskets to fill in every discovery call, and a lot of salespeople leave at least one empty.

I just met a builder who grew his business from £600k to £3.5M in just 3 years.

His secret… he focused his businesses on fitting out clinics. Then he bought a ticket to every medical related conference going.

When he turned up, people would say “are you a dentist?” And he would say “no I’m a builder who specialises in fitting out dental clinics”.

Within a few hours word had spread to everyone in need of a fit out. By the end of the conference he had turned a £500 ticket into three £150k jobs.

He mastered the art of focusing on where his ideal customers were instead of focusing on what he does. Genius.
