    What is your guys’ opinion of Anthony Chaffee? Perhaps you’ve already spoken about him. For reference I spent majority of my childhood and teens eating processed meat, was plant based for 3 years but now in the last 4 years I haven’t had any specific dietary restrictions other than avoiding...

    I’m currently doing this. It’s funny how quickly you can get your ‘workday’ done when you don’t have to stretch it out for 8 hours

    Time for an update April was a frustrating one. At the start of April I set 2 targets: 10 meetings booked 2 new clients I booked 11 meetings through cold calling, had 7 no-shows and got 0 clients. Damn. I was too eager to book meetings, as if that was signifying success, when in reality...

    I realised this is a process and progress thread but I’ve not shared much about my process. Working my 9-5 means my time is already limited - but here is exactly how I structure my side hustle around my job. My job starts at 8:30am, so I get into the office at 5:50am with my personal laptop...

    Need to be more consistent with my thread here - but things are going well. Cold calling has been consistently getting me results in the past few weeks. I’ve closed 2 website deals and with each website I’m raising my prices. I’ve got 2 clients on small maintenance packages and I closed the...

    Been a couple of weeks since my last update - i've had my head down and changed quite a few things. email outreach was stalling for me, so i've begun supplementing with cold calls too. if i could solely do cold calling i would, but i am in the office 3 days a week for my job so can't do any...

    EXECUTION 
    Very unsexy week - outbound consistency has stalled a bit due to poor time management. Easy to fix. Google ads had a pretty good ctr but I don’t think the landing page is optimized so I’ve paused while I play around with that. Had a good meeting with the local ecom biz, think we should get...

    Damn, Friday keeps coming around so quickly! Hit my goal of getting my website finished - she is live as of yesterday morning. by no means the finished product but it's live and it works and that's what matters right now. Didn't hit my goal of 50 personalised emails per day. After Monday i...

    Done a lot of work to my own site this weekend so hopefully will have this updated and live by the end of the week. Have a couple of leads to chase and also received a great email this morning from an e-commerce business that is based about half an hour from me. Their online store is a bit of...

    Sounds a bit chatGPTish but yeah I have done a lot of research on this - I’ve got 4 sub-emails that I’ve warmed up that all auto forward to my main business email. I stagger my emails through each one so that they are less likely to seem spammy and have 3 different cold email templates I switch...

    First project successfully wrapped up and live today - the guy has kindly given me a tip and will promote me in a few of his boosted facebook announcements that he uses to get customers. Got to make sure my own website is now built in time for that post. have been hitting my 100 emails a day...

    I knew I had no real tangible skills that I could sell so I just decided to learn one. Web design is discussed a lot on the forum so I went for it. I basically followed the steps in @Fox ‘s gold thread about how he did it. I’ve gotten my first couple of clients through cold emailing local...

    EXECUTION 
    This year, Ive set myself a goal to be self employed by year end. In my current job, with my salary and commission combined, I’m making roughly £4K per month. That is my magic number for me to cut my employment ties. Ive reverse engineered it and I know what I need to do to hit that. I started...

    What is the BEST "value" you ever paid for?

    NOTABLE! HOT! EXECUTION CHAT 
    My Withings Body + smart scales. I paid £80 in September and it’s been a game changer. I’ve been consistent in the gym for the last 3 years but my nutrition and weight management has always been my weakness. Being able to track pretty much everything in their app and on the scales has led to...

    What Is Deep Work.. Really?

    MINDSET 
    i definitely find that i can go deeper during learning and creative tasks. its almost as though my brain won't allow me to go as deep when im doing the daily repetitive tasks that need doing, i guess because they are essentially habits. you only have a finite amount of proper deep work you can...
