I spoke with a mentor in our community doing ~$25k pm through his online business, that I'm incredibly thankful to have! 🙏 *video in comments*
I asked him a few questions, directed at providing some value to those of you on the journey to financial, time, and location freedom. To be specific, this is geared toward those of you looking to hit the dream number of $10k pm! Here's what Brendon had to say! 🔥
Why did he get into entrepreneurship?
- Brendon got into the game of entrepreneurship for what he calls "total freedom" (which he defines as financial, time, and location freedom). 💰⏰🏝️
His 3 lesson for those of you looking to "break loose" are:
- Relationships mean everything! 🏆 (I couldn't agree with this more! himself says "make a sale, to get a customer" your relationships will get you further than you can even imagine!)
2. "Don't be desperate, be strategic" 📈 (Again, I agree! It took me a long time to learn patience! Too many people nowadays want to make money NOW! But the truth is, the fastest way to build, isn't normally the best, and tallest (think MRR) to build!)
3. "Learn when to stop talking" 🗣️❌ (AKA: STFU! From what I have learned, this applies both in general, by assuming you can learn something from everyone, as well as in sales! The best product developers & sales people often don't talk a lot! They are EXCELLENT at listening to their avatars needs, and pain points! Don't be an arrogant idiot!)
If you are trying to hit 10k pm: 💸
- Brendon recommends finding, and "attaching yourself to a mentor" (which is someone who has been there, and accomplished what you are looking to achieve!)
- He also recommends: "putting actions behind whatever you are learning from them" (which from what I've heard first hand from many of them, makes them want to KEEP helping you!)
- He says if you are "learning and not putting actions behind it, you're getting nowhere" Which might sound obvious, but so many of you listen, maybe jot down a few notes, and then DONT IMPLEMENT IT! I think Alex would agree with me here, that this isn't even learning! LEARNING = SAME SITUATION DIFFERENT BEHAVIOR!
