Just say yes…

How many times do you say no out of fear? Try saying yes and then working out the details.

Challenges…

Andrew wanted to do everything himself early on, believing that success meant achieving everything by himself. He found that when he started to let go and get help, he really freed up his time for other things and could achieve more through building a team.

On outsourcing…

Don’t forget to do your due diligence as you would for bricks and mortar employees! Hire slow, fire fast…

Business model…

Autopilot Your Business is about making people stand out and get found online. It’s about helping people build their own media empire so they are spread across different areas. It takes more than just a website!

Advice you can take away this week…

Find out where your market is hanging out on social media. Don’t try to do every platform, start where your customers hang out and spend time on that first. Work on platforms one by one, starting with what’s best for you.

Also, if there is anywhere you are struggling in your business, get a mentor with expertise in that area!
