This is the way. Money comes from one thing primarily. Service.

You need to serve someone OP. Sales is the opposite of service UNLESS YOURE ACTUALLY HELPING THEM by offering them your product.

I sold stuff before. High ticket home improvement. I succeeded for a while and then failed wildly when I stopped believing in the value of the work my customers actually got.

It’s an important skill but it’s only easy if 1. You’re a good communicator and 2. What you’re selling is a good match for the potential clients.

I know a guy who got a really good sales job at a (international) software firm and didn’t make a sale for a year and a half! It’s tough. It’s ALL DAY and it’s not guaranteed money. The gurus are wrong. But it is important!

Instead, you need to go to people with a service mindset. “What’s your biggest problem?” Then be the solution.

If you can fix a million dollar (costly) problem for a company, then you can ask for $5k a month IF YOU CAN ACTUALLY SERVE THEM and believe it and can convince them to believe you!

Did we miss out on (2.5 years of) stimulus money?
