What we’re learning in this episode
I didn’t know where to begin summarizing this episode (because it’s so epic), so I’ll do a bullet point outline:
- There’s snake oil salesman in every industry – how do we deal with it in WordPress?
- Running a big brand creative agency and then selling the business.
- Build your brand by doing great work and good ol fashion networking.
- If you’re not ready or willing to scale, you could get screwed with a big client.
- Have a goal you’re trying to achieve.
- Hand shakes and hugs trump likes and shares. (think about it!)
His only regret, not self promoting harder
Everyone is afraid to sell and it drives me nuts.
C.C. knew his first book Content Rules was top notch – but even he admits he didn’t push it hard enough. When you know you have something great, tell the world. Why not? What do you have to lose?
You don’t have to be all, “Pitchy pitchy, selly sell.” about it. (Thanks Chris Brogan)
Promote with confidence knowing that your product is better than it’s competition. If you have something with very little or poor competition, why wouldn’t you want to shout it from the roof tops?
You’re just a freelancer offering services? Why are you better than the next person? What’s the value you bring to a project? Tell us!
Amazing Things Will Happen
It’s the title of C.C’s second book and it’s the mantra of many entrepreneurs.
If you’re busting your hump, putting out great work, and letting the world know who you are the path to success will be prosperous. We’re not just talking money in the bank, but finding what you want in the life/career balance and forging great relationships along the way.
What do you think? Are you on the path to amazing things? Let us know!
