In this week’s episode I’m sharing a live call for Web Designer Academy students about how to get web design clients!
3 key takeaways from this episode:
- 9/10 times it’s not a tactical problem, it’s a mindset problem - identify your mindtrash and you’ll start seeing results.
- How you think in the moments when nothing seems to be working will determine the results you’ll get in the future.
- Failure is part of the process. You have to be willing to be bad at first and troubleshoot the process to figure out what’s in your control to fix.
I also share:
- The exact questions to ask yourself to identify your mindtrash and also when you don’t close a sale so you can make tweaks for the next time.
- Why expecting success without failure will keep you stuck.
- How all the reasons you think you’re not getting clients might subtly be affecting the way you market, respond to clients, etc. to work against you.
