How to approach business failures! - The Marketing Gamble Episode 7
In today's episode I talk about how to handle failures when starting a business.
After a hard last few weeks of failing 4 sales calls and having 0 clients it feels like I've started all over again!
It's been difficult, but what I found most difficult was actually admiring to myself that it's my fault!
Originally I was blaming external factors:
- it's out of my control
- it wasn't the right fit
- it's not the right time for them
When in reality I was responsible.
So here's how I deal with my failures starting my business and how you can deal with your failures too, so we can reach success!

The Power Of 'Who' - The Secret To Getting Customers - Ep6
In today's episode I talk about the secret to getting more customers to your business.
But the secret isn't what you think.
Don't ask how...
Ask who!
This is something I've been reading about in Traffic Secrets by Russell Brunson.
He says to start asking who your perfect customer is:
- What do they enjoy doing?
- How old are they?
- Where do they work?
Because once you know who you know where aka:
- The podcasts they listen too
- the Youtubers they watch
- The influencers they follow.
And now you can run ads, speak and make yourself heard on these platforms.

Commodity Businesses & Big Changes - Ep 4
Is your business a commodity?
Thanks for listening to The Marketing Gamble Episode 4!
When I first started my business I thought it was niche. I thought no one was running ads in the finance space. I thought I'd found an untapped market.
But I was wrong.
Quickly after talking to a few potential clients I found others doing what I was doing - all of us offering nothing different - each of us not unique.
Like Alex Hormozi says, I was a commodity business with my only option to compete on price!
I've realised that now and over the past few months I've been coming up with strategies to make myself different.
In this episode I do a full break down of my ideas!
What could you offer to make your business different form the rest?
