Hi Derek,

Me and my team has build a really good product, and we are pioneered to launch such product in India. We really took efforts, but some other guys copied the whole product with minor changes and got funded and now they spreading their business.
Due to lack of contacts we dint get funded yet, but now we are aggressively looking for funding from venture capitalist.

Can you please guide us with your experience, so that we can evaluate the proper road-map to reach and achieve our target.

My hang ups have to deal with confidence approaching potential clients. I am very social and friendly, non of my friends think I lack confidence. I do lack it though when it comes to sells even if I fully have faith in the product.

Amazing Post as always
I started taking the short assessment and get stuck in some places, the first thing is the age, im 19 and it starts from 20, but thats not a really big deal, then came the part where you ask ‘what do you sell or want to sell’ I resell products but theres no option for that… So it somehow feels like im answering it wrongly.

I completely agree with you Derek. Most of the people don’t start anything new just because they think its too late for them to do a new thing.

Your every post inspire me to do a new thing which I always wanted to do.

Thanks

Well, for someone who admits to being an ESL speaker, you must read a lot. Your grammar is great. I think your biggest challenge will be writing at a lower grade level than what you are currently at. Seriously!

I think your experience with that celebrity gossip blog is a good example of how things used to be and how much that ship has sailed. There is so much free information available online today that, simple blogs selling ads doesn’t cut it anymore. Your current blog is a perfect example of that. Today, you need to hold a readers hand, keep paragraphs to one or two sentences, write riveting prose, and by getting readers hooked with email addresses and free giveaways. Not saying that any of that is wrong or immoral. That’s just where the online blog has gravitated in order to make money. I tried that method (the celeb blog one) and many others have, years after you had success in it. It doesn’t work to just write stuff, put up ads or try to sell ads anymore. You’ve figured out correctly that the blog is a method to building up an authority, not the actual money maker.

“I can do that too!”

Words I have expressed so many times myself.

It’s how I’ve gotten jobs.

It’s how I got my start online.

It’s how I’ve had more success despite shortcoming.

Truly, 5 very powerful words!

Thanks for this post Derek.

When looking back on past successes, it’s always been because I’ve had the confidence that I was going to knock it out of the park. People often commend me for my presentation skills in front of an audience and say how they couldn’t do it or would be scared to and my reaction is usually “it’s no big deal; just get out there and do it”.

Such a timely post – we are in charge of our destiny, nobody else.
