If you’ve read through my guide or tried out any of the tools I mentioned, you probably know by now that I love to talk about prospecting.

Why?

Because it’s the single most important factor that separates those who go on to have 20+ year fulfilling businesses from those who scrape by for 2 years before throwing in the towel and going back to a full-time job for a small paycheck and no freedom.

If your dream is to avoid the feast or famine cycle, take control over your time, and earn a real income from your craft, you MUST make time Every. Single. Week. for prospecting activities.

It’s the most critical activity you can do for your business.

Regular prospecting will:

  • Keep you out of the feast or famine cycle.
  • Give you the confidence to raise your rates.
  • Let you spend more time with your family.
  • Relieve financial stress.

In a recent episode of The Copy Corner my co-host Terry and I dive deeper into the topic.

(How many hours do you spend prospecting each week? I’d love to know. Just shoot me a quick reply to this email.)

Happy prospecting.

    The #1 career skill you’re probably ignoring

    There’s one skill that separates forgettable professionals from the ones who get remembered, referred, and recruited. It’s not technical mastery. It’s not networking. It’s storytelling. When you know how to tell compelling stories about what you’ve accomplished, you immediately stand out. People remember you. They
