hey guys... if any of you have insight on this that'd be great.
In Fastlane, MJ talks about how ideas are pawns, everyone can have good ideas, but the King and Queen are Execution and Marketing respectively.
For me, it seems like I'm the flip side of that. Marketing and execution are actually "easier" for me than most things. I can go into pretty competitive markets and do "decent".
I've been able to hit the 6 figure yearly mark and 5 figure monthly marks having only had an online/my own business for 2 years... started from scratch.
Problem is, those figures aren't fastlane, and often I feel like I'm working on things that are "smaller" than what my potential is.
My issue is ideas. lol maybe I'm just really selfish and have a tough time seeing needs, but it's weird, it's often tough for me to get out of my box. Whereas I know some people that can see ideas left and right, but they are slow to execute and can't market. I can drive traffic well, and instantly to test, but for some reason I tend to have a tough time seeing outside of the "obvious".
Any insight on improving your "need seeing" capabilities?
I used to say I'd be content with 30k/mth, but I want to do 6 figures monthly, consistently, so I can have a liquidation event before 35, so I'm working 0-7 like MJ
:blah2:
