Why Selling Your Own Stuff is SO Hard (And How to Fix It)
|
Howdy Reader! Selling stinks. When I worked for other people, I had no problem selling our services. I love recommending great products and services from brands and influencers that I know, like, and trust. So why is it so hard to actually sell our OWN products and services? Listen, I’ve heard all the sales tropes like, “you sell the sizzle, not the steak.” Or, “go after the low-hanging fruit.” And even “this is a win-win situation for both of us!” Now, if I had a tree with low-hanging sizzling steaks, THAT would be a win-win. I’d never leave the yard! Seriously though, selling is hard and not something that comes naturally to a lot of people. That’s why I’m really excited to shine the spotlight on selling on today’s show. I was blown away when I saw Conor Brown speak on the art of selling at Momentum this past year. (Don’t tell him that; I’d never hear the end of it.) He helped everyone who listened become more confident in selling their products and services, and I know he can help you, too. So join us today at 10 am central and ask your questions on selling that you’ve always been afraid to ask. See ya there, -Jeff Are you looking for powerful features without sticker shock?

Howdy Reader! There is a folder on your hard drive with a book in it. Or a course, or the guide you keep meaning to build. It has been in there a while, and you know exactly which folder I mean. This Friday we're sitting down with Lisa DiNoto Glassner of The Castle Run, and her first book comes out the week after. She left a Big Law career, built a business around what she actually loves, and then finished the book. Seventeen chapters, about two hundred and fifty pages, published under her...
Howdy Reader! Time for something I don't bring up much. I've been playing the five-string banjo since before junior high. I know what you're thinking. How did a banjo kid keep the girls away all through junior high and high school? The guitar guys had nothing on me. Nothing! Because guitar says “sensitive singer-songwriter.” A banjo says “I enjoy being stuffed in a locker with my underwear pulled up around my ears.” You can't see security keeping all the girls from rushing the stage Here's...
Howdy Reader! This week on Creator News Live, I sat down with Mike Potter, the founder of Macstock Conference and Expo and the host of For Mac Eyes Only, one of the longest running independent Apple podcasts around. The idea that stuck with me: anyone can build an audience, but a community is a different thing. An audience claps when you post. A community shows up, travels, and comes back year after year. Mike spent 10 years building the second kind, and he handed us the playbook. Your cheat...
