3 Pieces of Advice that Ain’t Generic When Starting Your Own Business!

Don’t you hate it when people give you generic ass advice?

It’s bad enough when the advice is not asked for

But to give unsolicited advice AND have it be vague??

For example, when I first started out working for myself, I was in need of ways to maximize my income

As I was updating people on my struggles at that time

People would often reply “oh, you just gotta get out there!”

Or

“yeah, post more on social media”

Or my personal favorite

“go to a networking event”

🤮

I get it, everyone wants to help…

But how is that helping??

It took a while for me to figure out what I needed to do

But here are some things I show my clients that you can implement right now.

I then give them specific strategies on how to build business acumen,

But this stuff I’m giving you now is something everyone needs to incorporate if they wanna be successful

1) You must immerse yourself in your knowledge of your business and industry

That means get rid of any media that’s not teaching you something about your business

Replace it with specialized training about an aspect of your business.

So, instead of listening to the radio/music in the car,

Listen to one of your favorite podcasts about your industry.

Instead of Netflix and chillin,

Watch a training module…then chill 😏

You will be amazed how quickly you absorb the info needed to become a top player in your industry.

2) Build a solid morning routine.

If you only did shit when you felt like it, you would probably work on yourself

(and by extension your business)

once every few weeks.

You would let the bad day you had…

or your hangover prevent you from getting work done the next day.

If you allow those things to stop you then you may as well say

“my bad habits are more important than my money”

So, start by waking up early, and read something good…

The more you read, the more creative you will become

Then meditate or say your prayers

Followed by visualizing your day and your goals

Later on, block out time to study or do focused work and other money-making activities

Then throw in some affirmations to retrain your subconscious mind

If you need specific things to say for affirmations or what to visualize, let me know.

3) Network with like-minded people

Theres no surprise that most people are haters.

If you talk to these haters as you begin to make these changes…

They will make you think the success principles I laid out are not good or necessary

Yet, are these people rich?

Do they have a thriving business?

No, they are broke and miserable

You don’t need that shit in your life

Don’t ask a bench warmer for advice if you want to become an all-star

See, specific advice that will help you make money!

I got more great info about this stuff and how to do it in my book…

but you already knew that 😊
