Welcome to the next chapter in the ice cream novel. SALES and MARKETING! Wee! I haven’t quite determined what I’ll be teaching just yet, but for now I want to reveal to you the underlying lessons that you can learn from REAL, SUCCESSFUL marketing campaigns that aren’t outdated.
I got a degree in marketing and one of my biggest issues with it was that we were always taught using outdated marketing campaigns as examples to learn from. Lame. Let’s talk stuff that’s working right now! Stuff like how to host effective online webinars or how to create a compelling and convincing offer. That’s what gets you the ice cream.
I invite you to participate and discuss marketing ideas that are actionable. If you wish to discuss mindset stuff then please discuss it in the other ice cream thread, The Astonishing Secrets of zend***phin. My hope is that this thread stays clean with actionable ideas. Motivational stuff like, “you have to want it as badly as you want to breathe” is cool and all, but put it in the other thread.
I ask that you shift your mindset and become more open to new things. The most common limiting belief that I hear when I mentor people is, “I can’t get into that business. It’s outside my scope of abilities”. Stop limiting yourself to only what your current skill set is. If there’s something you don’t know, chances are there’s a tutorial for it on YouTube. Learn it bro! The ice cream there is free and it comes in a lot of great flavors!
Develop an “I don’t give a shit” attitude towards the little voice in the back of your head that keeps feeding you BS stories about why you can’t do something. Focus on pushing your boundaries and constantly learning new things. This means you have to leave the 1st grade mental masturbation classroom and start chillin’ with the sales/marketing kids in 2nd grade. 2nd grade is a new and scary place to be at the beginning, but that’s where growth comes…there is no growth without exposing yourself to scary things.
It is essential to stop giving a shit. Otherwise you get stuck in “analysis mode” and retreat back to the learning loop with zero action. Stop giving a shit and just move fast…you’re gonna like who you become, I can promise you that! BTW, thank you @JasonR for teaching me to stop giving a shit. I felt truly free after learning how you roll the dice day in and day out. Huge respect for that.
I hope you guys enjoy the stuff I teach here. I enjoy teaching so much that I end up doing a little dance and get really loud at the ice cream shop...the police won't stop walking in to tell me to quit disturbing the peace. I don't care, this is fun stuff!
Lastly, all the glory and credit goes to the big boys on the playground...Zendizzle, JackEdweezy, Vigilunky, BioPhrasey, JasonRizzle, MJ DeFunkyBoy, AllenCrawfish, and all the others.
Stay drunk. Entrepreneurship is supposed to be a fun process.
And remember: take ACTIVE action daily. I'm talking about picking up the phone and making things happen! Not filing mindless paperwork, reading motivational books, copying sales letters, etc. Nothing wrong with that stuff and I'm certainly not against it, but active action is what takes you to the next level.
