Comments on: The most important business lesson comes from two crazy brothers who built a flying machine… https://socialtriggers.com/business-lesson-flying-machine/ Internet Marketing Strategy Sat, 19 Oct 2019 08:06:45 +0000 hourly 1 By: Eden https://socialtriggers.com/business-lesson-flying-machine/#comment-357261 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 08:13:31 +0000 http://socialtriggers.com/?p=6290#comment-357261 I’m ‘finally’ starting. It’s only been close to 15 years of procrastinating, nothing major. Waiting for a bolt of lightening to strike me with that ONE idea. Loved your latest videos Derek and recently watched your interview with Corbett Barr on YouTube on how you built a 17K subscriber list (I know it’s a few years old) but still good stuff. You said you had a big head back then, no doubt it’s huge now. Rightfully so! Thanks

This is a very important post.

1. Most people go through life trying to make things make sense with absolute certainty before venturing in. The problem is, real life is not always predictable and many stop moving forward because they overthink.

2. Most people lack the commitment to truly do whatever it takes to get what they desire. Normally they allow self-doubt to prevent them from achieving their dreams.

I shall sharing this article with my friends.

Thanks Derek!

I have been meaning to start my consultancy company since 2011, I just kept on thinking about and never doing anything about it. This year I registered the company in March but nobody knows about it because I have been “researching and planning”. I know I should just do it but not only am I a perfectionist, I suspect I also have a lot of fear.

what do you advice?

I have an email list of ~200, but it’s from before the podcast launch. I need to develop a way to turn my listeners into email subscribers.

I think it’s just the overwhelm of making a killer landing page, and then coming up with a great reason for people to go all the way from the podcast player to my site. I need something to pull them in.

I guess it’s more of a laziness issue than anything—I have ideas for hooks, just need to actually flesh them out and build the page.

It’s nowhere on my website and I am hiding it from the world. I have NO idea why I’m doing this. Gosh, it’s frustrating. Help!

I already made a start, I’ve got a couple of mindfulness courses (and a bunch of other courses) that people love.

When they get on the programme.

My problem is finding out what people really want, and how to get myself into a place where they’ll find my courses. (Once I know what people want, I’m in a pretty good a designing training that’ll meet the need, and clearly a ton of marketing techniques out there to optimise the process. But it’s getting to the starting point that eludes me!)

I’ve tried your tip of looking at amazon book reviews for books on mindfulness and stress. I’ve not found much in the way of detailed descriptions of more specific problems, or clues as to the type of person reviewing and where I might meet them.

Would love to find a way forward!

My problem is not action. My problem is following through with my action. I have hired all the right people (web developer, marketing company, social media expert). I have developed my email list and scheduled my events (coming out cocktail party, first three service events). But for some reason I am paralyzed by the fear of opening. My head is swimming with what if’s. What if no one shows? What if no one likes what I am offering? What if everything I have planned looks better on paper than in reality? It is driving me crazy. Cannot wait to join your class!

Yes, it’s not about keeping everything in your mind it’s about implementation, how you implement things and take them into action.

The mistake which most of the business owners do is that they just plan things and when it comes to implementation they fail, only planning would not get you to success it’s implementation which holds the key to success.

I’ve been doing exactly this – planning my business in my head instead of DOING THINGS. I keep waiting for the day when I have that perfect plan laid out in front of me to start doing something. I’ve wasted so much time! How silly! Thank you so much, Derek!
