Just wanted to share this with you guys. when i started like 8 months ago i had a goal to hit around 100 deals in my first year and get to about 15k MRR just selling reviews. Back then i honestly had no clue if this was gonna work. I was just hoping i could figure it out as i go. now we’re about 8 months in and i’ve done around 24k in revenue (not MRR). Super thankful for this community as i would have never made it without it. Lots of ups and downs, stressful days, times where everything feels all over the place and you don’t really know what you’re doing. What’s worked for me more than anything has been cold calling and just building relationships. I kept the offer simple with reviews as the entry point. Low friction and it actually gets results - that made it way easier to build trust and then upsell into better retainers after. But yeah i’m still figuring it all out. To this day, haven’t even properly started meta ads yet, still getting better with ghl automations or figuring out how to run my books ahah. But if there’s one thing i do feel confident on now - cold calling. So I am thinking of putting together a skool group just around that. Like how i approach calls, what’s working, staying consistent etc. if you want in just shoot me a dm here on skool and i’ll send you a link when it’s up.

Big shout out to @Clay Lawrence ! I genuinely couldn’t have done this without his blueprint. To anyone starting out and doubting themselves or the process, don’t. Just show up every day, do the work, follow the steps, and the results will come. I’ve had many businesses before (or at least tried to). I failed plenty of times, mostly because I never knew if what I was doing was the right thing. Because of that, I kept changing strategies instead of sticking to what actually worked. Since joining this community, I never felt like I had to guess. I had proper guidance and real references from people who were already doing exactly what I wanted to do and doing it successfully. That gave me confidence. I knew what I was doing was right, I just had to do it long enough for the results to show. Sales experience helped me a lot, which is why I used cold calling as my main acquisition channel. Other than that, I had zero GHL experience and learned everything from scratch. It’s been an amazing but very challenging journey. I’ve had five clients cancel so far, but that didn’t stop me. If anything, it helped me realize they weren’t the right fit and taught me valuable lessons. I’ve probably taken ten to fifteen days off in the last six months. I pushed hard because I wanted to hit 10K, and honestly, I didn’t mind the workload. I got addicted to the process and started treating sales like a game. To everyone out there, take action, try, learn, and win. Don’t sit back and overthink, you’ll just waste time you could be using to make money. For reference, I closed my first three sales before I even finished the basics of setting up GHL.
