Most entrepreneurs have no problem coming up with a ton of great ideas.

And when it comes to product creation (which happens to be my zone of genius :-)) here’s what I can say for sure…

Ideas are NOT the problem.

Just about every one of my students and clients can churn out awesome product ideas without breaking a sweat.

But how do you know if your idea will go down well with your audience?

How do you know if people will even want your product let alone pay for it?

In this week’s post, I’m sharing exactly how to choose a profitable product idea that’ll practically fly off your (virtual) shelves!

How do you know if it’s time to leave your job and become a full-time entrepreneur?

So, most coaches or strategists or “gurus” will tell you to “take a leap of faith” or “go with your gut” or “trust your intuition.”

I happen to think that sucks!

When I first made the decision to start a business, I didn’t think twice… I quit my day job and went all in.

And let’s just say it wasn’t my best move!

I learned the hard way there’s a lot more to becoming a full-time entrepreneur than just quitting your day job.

The truth is that way too many people say sayonara to their 9-to-5 long before they’re ready to go out on their own.

Think back to the first time you ever had a sales conversation with a potential client or customer (and if you’ve never done that before, think of a sales conversation you experienced as a customer).

How did it go? Did you get into it? Was it thrilling, exciting… a total adrenaline rush?

Or did you want to run and hide?

If you’re like most entrepreneurs, you’re probably NOT jumping for joy when you have to get on a sales call.

But here’s the thing…

Business and sales go together like peanut butter and jelly.

And mastering the art of sales is one of the smartest and most empowering things you can do as an entrepreneur.

Today’s hot-off-the-press blog post is all about sales conversations…

And because I’ve found that one of the most effective ways to learn how to do something is to learn how NOT to do it, I’m sharing some of the biggest mistakes you need to avoid…

Mistakes that can turn hot and heavy leads into haters!

Avoid these bloopers and you’ll elevate your game and up your sales success rate… even if you’re just starting out 🙂

Quick question before you dive in…

What are some of the worst sales conversations you’ve ever experienced as a customer? What turned you off or got you annoyed?

Share in the comments below… I read and reply to each one!

Iron Man or Luke Skywalker… which one’s your favorite? If you’re a diehard Star Wars fan you probably said Luke Skywalker and if you’re a Marvel Universe fan, I know you went for Iron Man…

But no matter which camp you’re in — Star Wars or MCU — you know that while Marvel movies have continued to captivate audiences around the world…

Star Wars fans have been incredibly disappointed.

So, what’s the difference?

What’s behind Marvel’s extraordinary success and what made Star Wars — one of the oldest and most adored movie franchises — hit rock bottom in the eyes of the people who loved them most?

Turns out it all comes down to ONE skill…
