On the circle cast, we discuss business and entrepreneurship. Some of these conversations are tailored towards creatives. From my experience through the years, I want to help creatives see that they can and should be profitable with their craft.
Think about your business like a romantic relationship. You find someone you're interested in, you're curious about them, you go on multiple dates and get to know them, and then you get into a committed relationship. That's how business is.
Your business should be able to spark curiosity in the minds of your ideal clients. You should then educate them about your product or service and how you can help them.
Then you can ask for a commitment where you ask them for money in exchange of your product/service.
But this commitment will not be established if you don't spark curiosity

Talk Talk Talk
In an era where talk is cheap, execution has become gold. In this episode, we talk about what it takes to become successful; execution.
Most people end up in the cycle of just talking about what they intend to do. Because they talk about it, they now have the illusion of execution, and they end up being stuck in the same cycle because they only talk without executing.
As an entrepreneur, you have to be rugged with execution. That is how you move the needle forward in your business.

Let's be for real
As a business owner, you will be told that it's important to find your ideal customer. Niche down and work with them because that positions you as the expert. It helps you make more money. All of these things are true, but one thing people fail to mention is that business is never really smooth sailing. There are times when you're not going to have anybody to work with, including your ideal customers.
What do you do? You have a service to offer, no money coming through, and the wrong profile of clients requires your service. How do you survive in that situation?
There is the ideal situation where you work with your ideal preferred customers, but realistically, as a small business, it's not always going to be like that. Let's be real: what do we do in those situations?

Oversubscribed (With or without you energy)
With or without you energy is the point in your business where you are not desperate for business or revenue. With or without certain clients, you will be fine. And, that is because you are oversubscribed; you have a lot of people lining up to do business with you.
Getting to this point means you do not have to take on terrible clients; clients who don't value your work, clients who are cheap but demand the most.

You are not expensive; people don't value you.
The conversation in this episode talks about how people spend money on things that they value, regardless of what the price point is.
If your potential customers are not buying from you, it's not because what you do is not important or that you're not good enough. It's just that they haven't placed as much value necessary on your service.

Speed: One of your greatest assets to making more money
There are statistics that show that the faster you respond to a potential client, the higher your chances of converting them to actual clients. Money loves speed and if you are going to make more money as an entrepreneur you have to improve on how quickly you respond to people in need of your service. Your competitors who probably don't do as good a job as you, are taking potential customers from you because they respond faster than you.

Turn down bad clients
I did not know that I could say "No" to working with clients. I have realized that not every body who wants to work with you is your ideal client and it's okay to turn them down. If you end up taking every offer that comes your way, you'll end up burning out or you'll do work that you're not proud of.

Price anchoring is a negotiation strategy that psychologically puts buyers and sellers in a particular price range for what the cost of a product or service is.

In this episode, find out how I got boxed into taking a lower fee for my service and learn how to use price anchoring to your advantage.

Mentorship is a pathway to skyrocket your progress. You could learn by your experience but you would make some mistakes along the way and it'll take more time. You could learn from others who have gone ahead, learn from their mistakes instead of yours and it'll take you a fraction of the time to achieve your goals
