- Opti-Mom’s story – almost threw in the towel last summer, focused on what others were asking of me/from me, focused on supporting other’s businesses, not on my own business
- What I have witnessed – why many solopreneurs fail – focused on several businesses – Shiny Ball Syndrome
- How To Focus – what resonates with you, why did you become involved in the business
- What to Focus On – what product or service is your best seller – i.e. what do people clamour for – don’t worry if you have other lines – give them what they want – simplify your approach
- F.U. – Following up is also the thing that people hate to do the most – haven’t chatted with them in over a month – forget about it. Follow up immediately – keep on top of it, schedule coffee meetings, phone meetings, keep them simple, how can you support them in their lives, in their businesses
So Come out and have “Coffee” with us this Monday!
