I recently just ventured into the world business acquisitions, I intend to share my journey with you all once I close on my first acquisition.

Today I felt fear and doubt Wanting to be a freelancer I started creating a portfolio Since I'm new to the space of freelancing, there's this constant doubt on whether it would work out I saw how other people present themselves much better that it feels like I'm nothing I know that this sounds stupid, but I can promise you it really messes up your head if you let it consume you. So now I'm here, because of that fear I backed out, saying things like "Yeah, I'll do this tomorrow" or "Nah I'll read a book or watch a YouTube video first about xyz... to sell myself better or something" As soon as I realized this it made me stop and think for a moment Tomorrow might not come again Opportunity only last for sec So, for those who feel afraid of doing the VERY THING I'm with you in this journey

I was sitting down drinking some coffee when I had this realization. The skill of sales is actually the most important skill you could possibly learn. Ever. After realizing this I has to ask myself, "well, how does someone even get 'great' at sales?". This question lead me to creating this post. So after pondering that question for a long time, here's a comprehensive 3-step guide I created around elevating your sales skills. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ 🌟 Step 1: Cultivating Expertise in Your Niche 🌟 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ - Dive deep into a specific niche: In order to "master" sales as soon as humanly possible, you should first start by narrowing in on your target niche. If the best car salesman in the world started selling solar next week, someone else would outperform him. It take time to learn how to sell to a specific niche, their pain points, and different ways you can help them out. Stop trying to learn generalized sales and learn sales skills that will work specifically for your audience, this will make you appear as an expert in your calls. - Build Your Credibility: Once you've chosen your niche you now want to become perceived as an expert within that space. This is done by actually TALKING about your client testimonials and impactful case studies while selling; if you don't have any testimonials, then offer to work with a client for free in exchange for one, this can then be leveraged as social proof to get future clients. Don’t just stop there - take your social proof and post it to blogs, social media, and any other outlets that you use. If Jeff Besos wasn't the face of Amazon then people wouldn't trust his knowledge on e-commerce as much they do. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ 🔍 Step 2: Business Acumen & Networking Mastery 🔍

So many people are obsessed with deepening their voice, and speaking with a strong clear voice that others respect.

TRUST ME, when you try these exercises, you will notice in INSTANT difference in your voice. The only way you can find out is to do the exercises. I do not take any credit for these exercises, these were taken from Vinh Giang. Vinh is an expert when it comes to presenting, talking in front of big crowds, and social skills. I don't want to waste much time, so let's get straight into it. ———————————————————————————————— 💪When you want to develop big biceps, you do bicep curls right? ❓So why don't we train our voices. 🎸It is the most important instrument of our lives, yet we don't know how to strengthen it! 🤔Don't we use our voices more than we flex our biceps? 👍🏻Our voices are one of the most important thing, and if you can PERFECT your speech, HOLLLYYYY 🗿YOU WILL BECOME A DANGEROUS MAN! 👂Now listen carefully to the tips I provide you, and implement them in order. ———————————————————————————————————— EXERCISE 1: LIP FLUTTER (3 sets of 1 breath) - This is the first exercise of strengthening your voice - I want you here to do a lip flutter - If you don't know what that is, you can simply search it from the net - Do the lip flutter for 1 whole breath, have 5-10 second rest, then do it for 3 sets EXERCISE 2: LIP FLUTTER IN SPURTS (3 sets of 1 breath) - This is essentially the same is the lip flutter, but you are doing it in short bursts - You are doing a really shot lip flutter, stopping, then doing it again - It's kind of like doing it in small bursts - Again, do this for 3 sets, of 1 whole breath, with 5-10 seconds rest in between EXERCISE 3: LIP FLUTTER WITH HUMMING (3 sets of 1 breath) - This is the exact same as the first exercise, but now you add in a hummm when you are doing a lip flutter

Make sure to give your absolute FULL ATTENTION when you read this guide. FOLLOW all the action steps, and listen closely to all the TIPS that I give you. This guide is for EVERYONE that READS or wants to READ. I mean, it's embarrassing, PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HOW TO READ Can you remember a time when you were reading a book, you just read a sentence, then you forgot exactly what you read, then you reread the sentence — if YES, then this guide is for you. This GUIDE will tell you how to take notes, highlight, read books, what chapters to read, EVERYTHING. This is probably going to be one of my longest and most time-consuming guides ever, so make sure all my HARD WORK doesn't go to WASTE. MAKE ME PROUD😂 What we will cover: - Reading = building a house - Reading mindset - Different ways to consume books - How to choose the perfect book - Priming the book - How to read faster - How to remember everything that you read If you don't want to read a certain section, or you feel you already know it, then SKIP it and go to the NEXT section. ————————————————————————————————————————————————— 📚READING = BUILDING A HOUSE🏠 ————————————————————————————————————————————————— This is a great concept I learnt from the GREAT ELIAS MAHLE MOEN - Think of reading as you're building a house - When you read with NO knowledge, you are starting from the walls of the house without any FOUNDATION. Your knowledge will be SHORT-TERM and your house is going to FALL OVER. - Think about it, if you start from the WALLS with no foundation of the HOUSE, what are the walls going to stand on, nothing is holding the walls together. - THIS IS JUST LIKE READING. - When you don't know what you're reading or how to LEARN, then the knowledge you gain will be SHORT-TERM, it will last a few hours, if you're lucky, maybe ONE DAY. THAT'S IT. - You're going to be WASTING HUNDREDS OF HOURS reading books with no knowledge, then retaining information that lasts in your brain for 5 HOURS.
