Should you get a regular 9-5 job working no more than 8 hours a day while you're trying to build a business, or get a better job as a product manager or management consultant? The former almost always has no career progression, while the latter is a good backup option in case business fails, as there is still a career progression path and the job in consulting pays a lot better. The customer service job would be purely for money to survive at a good company, while the consulting/design job would be at a good company and would involve more working hours. What's the right way to go?
Here's the ONLY THING that matters to any entrepreneur: "your network is your net worth."
The cheesy saying about "it's who you know not what you know" is still around BECAUSE IT IS TRUE!
1. who is your perfect buyer?
2. where do these people hang out?
3. what is their #1 struggle & #1 dream?
4. add value - make their lives easier & ask nothing in exchange
Kind of like answering questions for free on clarity.fm ;)
Once they know, like and trust you, they'll listen and refer you to their network. Now you're in! Kind of like an undercover James Bond...
So any job that gets you closer to perfect buyers or gives you sales training is my #1 suggestion. Or a high-paying job that frees up your time so you can build your network on the side.
Gotta run and help more winners do less, better!
