🗓 May 5th, 2023 | Service business fundamentals
I recently hired an agency on purpose to see what it feels like to be on the other side.
Here is what makes a service business great:
- Being proactive and pushing them almost as if you’re their boss
- Seeing progress and updating them constantly
- Being friendly to them and transparent
- Having a good failsafe strategy
Simple. And timeless.
🗓 May 6th, 2023 | Is delaying gratification good?
So many people praise delayed gratification as if it's some sort of virtue.
But it's more nuanced than that.
"Live as if it's your last day" is terrible advice.
But who guarantees that you will be alive in your 80s?
I think the best is to meet somewhere in the middle.
Heuristic for life:
"Live as if you'll die in 20 years."
I'm 28 now, so let's say at 50.
Now things get interesting...
🗓 May 7th, 2023 | Humans always live in the future
On a call with a fellow agency owner.
He is 45 and told me that by the time he’s 50 he wants X, Y and Z.
Oh I see.. so this never ends.
Beautiful and frustrating at the same time.
🗓 May 8th, 2023 | Follow ups
Little observation from running hundreds of cold email campaigns.
The money is in the follow ups. True.
But that is for warm leads! Not cold!
If you are constantly following up on cold leads, you are just annoying and spamming.
I really do love you, Alex
