Hello to all,
I'm new to the forum. I've read all of MJ's books, I'm finishing "The Great Rat Race Escape ".
I wanted to create a constructive discussion on an idea that went through my head.
I live in Italy, Where to do business is very difficult due to the very high percentage of corporate taxation (72%).
I am relatively young, I am 30 years old, and I would like to contribute to the world with a website of content on specialized marketing processes/support and strategies for restaurants.
To start "small", just to test the validity of my idea without drain my wallet, I have already taken a domain and I would like to report the processes I put in place, every day, with my customers (few customers because I'm just starting out, but I wouldn't want to wait too).
I would use it as a support service for restaurateurs, but also as a personal diary to keep written all the processes I use every day and the related results.
But I have two problems:
- The first problem is the enormous competition in the sector, because the entry threshold is very low. Frankly, I think I'm better than many of those who claim to be experts. At least because I have done / am doing experience in the field and applying what I want to indicate on the site. The problem is that I risk to be perceived as "one of many" who want to give "marketing advice". And I don't want to be perceived like that.
- The second problem is the perception of professionalism. I suffer a lot from the impostor syndrome and I always think that I am not "enough", that I do not have enough knowledge to be able to share it with someone.
What would you do if you were in my position?
Furthermore, as read in @Sean Marshall post on creating a web agency, the essential thing is to create a network of clients. Which I am trying to do but on which I find it difficult.
Do you have any suggestions for creating a great network since it is now impossible to meet customers in person due to covid?
Many many thanks!
