Hi all— In the past when I was looking to hire someone, I always ended up having prospects all over, you might have been there too. I spent some time working on it last week, and here's a simple way to solve it: 1. Create an online form on an app (Google Forms, Microsoft, Typeform) 2. Include questions for all needed information like contact details, email, portfolio, years of experience, specialization, etc) 3. Use an existing template for style (or create your own) 4. Set up to list the responses on a Google sheet or your desired database 5. Finally, share the form link in groups, communities 6. Now you have an organized list of prospects, it also works for future service hiring I'm using Make to automate these steps, additionally, a further step can be added to send an email to schedule a meeting with a candidate Let me know if you have any questions, hope this helps you 🙏

I had another client call, and after talking to her, her needs were not as large as my packages offered, so I quoted her my hourly rate of $75 an our for 5 hours of my work, and she agreed no problem!! I knew her previously from the events I attend, so I told her that I'll help out extra if she needs it at no additional cost, as she's extremely un-tech savvy for what I offer. Super stoked about this!!

This month has been a success. I am surpassing $10,000 while having only worked 25 hours per week in my Real Estate Photography business, which has been great, to say the least. Its allowed me to understand what I need to grow the business further, and what is needed to scale while slowly beginning to work less! I love leverage...

A couple of months ago, I took the plunge and started my very own podcast, "The Business Origin Story Podcast"! 🎙️ The idea stemmed from my networking efforts on LinkedIn, where I met numerous businesses that weren't quite ready to invest in video business cards or videos in general. I still loved chatting with these entrepreneurs and wanted to create valuable content while building trust. A podcast seemed like a perfect win-win solution! I've been using SquadCast.fm, similar to Riverside FM, integrated with Descript for editing, and it's been a fantastic experience doing it virtually. Eventually, I'd love to transition to a studio space, but for now, building hype virtually is the way to go. This approach has helped me forge strong relationships and tap into my guests' networks, never aiming to turn them into clients directly but to build genuine connections. So far, I've released seven episodes, with the eighth one already recorded and awaiting editing. I usually edit in Resolve, then use Descript for creating short clips. I provide the full episode and clips without my branding to my guests. Each episode is around 15 to 20 minutes, although some conversations run longer. All episodes are available on YouTube @arcturuscinema and Facebook. LinkedIn allows up to 10 minutes, so you can catch the first 10 minutes of episodes on my LinkedIn page. If you have any questions about my podcast journey, feel free to reach out. Peace!
