Picture this. You’re in a nightclub and you spot a stone cold 10/10 standing at the end of the bar. Wow, you really want to get to know her… You catch her eye, and she smiles back. She’s interested. You’re playing hard to get, trying to act mysterious. Giving her the eyes, while working up the courage to go and talk to her. You just wish she’d come over to you and save you the trouble. Okay… Here you go, you’re going to make a move. When another guy comes out of nowhere and starts chatting to her. Initially she’s still looking at you, hoping you’ll come over and talk to her instead. But the more this other guy talks, the more she seems into it. And before you know it, they’re leaving the club hand in hand, and you’re left thinking… “Why couldn’t it be me” If that’s giving you nightmares, good. Because that’s exactly what happens when you rely solely on inbound for your business. You warm the leads up, only for someone else to sign them because they had the balls to speak to them first. When you rely solely on inbound, you’re giving up control of the lead gen process. It comes down to guess work, and a little bit of praying. But when you combine proper client attracting content (not the garbage most creators write), and outreach to the people showing interest. You start getting more clients than you know what to do with. It’s a nice problem to have… And if you want to have that problem yourself, send more DMs. It’s called ‘social’ media after all. -Charlie P.S.

It’s been just over 2 years since that fateful Wednesday morning. I went into work that day expecting it to be the same as any other, 4 hours later I found myself in my bosses office resigning. And starting an online business there and then. Over the last 24 months I’ve learned a thing or two, and made a decent chunk of cash along the way. So today I wanted to share the 3 bits of advice I rarely see people share, that have had the biggest impact on my own business. 1. Perception is massively...
“I’ll start Jan 1st” That’s what most people say. The kind of people who are destined to fall short of their potential… Who like the idea of being rich, more than they like the idea of actually making it happen. Then there’s the action takers. The people who know that they need to lock in, get their head down, and make stuff happen. If you think of yourself as an action taker. Then I have news for you… You have 33 days. That’s all you’ve got until Jan 1st 2025. 33 days to get a head start. 33...
Happy Thanksgiving, or as we call it in the UK… Thursday. There’s nothing like a national holiday to stir up awkward questions from your family around the dinner table: “How’s our little entrepreneur going?” “Are you still doing that funny internet business thing?” “When are you going to get a REAL job?” Super supportive… The truth is, they don’t understand the pressure that comes with building your own business. Not only are you having to constantly learn and improve on a skill (which is...
