Hey guys. I want to give everyone an update. Week 5 now. Thanks for your support and attention, there were so many times I almost gave up

I landed 4 clients so far. One has paid me 1,200. Got another 3 paying me 450, 600, 900 each for my consulting services.

Got another few people I have in the pipeline. I'll keep working on it

Look at it positively, you have negative 5 clients!

Are you hiring??

I remember when I was a telemarketer. If you got 4% of people you called to agree to an appointment, you were a rockstar. 2-3% was about average. So it sounds like you’re doing alright

I mean - at some point it makes sense to give up

Just added another 1200 this week
