Success Tip #3: Build Your List NOW

No matter what your specific business model is, if you don’t have an audience of people that you can reach whenever you want - and who love hearing from you - I’d go as far as say you don’t have a business.

For me, the best possible audience a business can have comes in a form of an email list.

I treat it like gold and never compromise on the quality of my emails or anything.

(Notice how most of what I send is WAY longer than what most people are sending?)

If you have a list, you have leverage and security. Keep nurturing it, email your audience frequently, and send them good stuff.

There’s nothing wrong with promotions, either - if you’re genuinely excited about a product and genuinely believe it will help their lives.

If you don’t have a list, start building one now.

It’s not even that difficult… it’s that most people just won’t do what it takes.

What you’re going to need is a lead magnet (and it doesn’t have to be a long, elaborate PDF - a checklist of things you shouldn’t do when starting your day as an entrepreneur will do just fine, for example), a way for people to sign up and get that lead magnet (any autoresponder will do just fine) and some traffic to a page where people can sign up. That’s it - that’s how you build the most powerful asset your business will have.

Conclusion

To sum this up, since 1) you have to pay yourself first, 2) do one thing that matters, and 3) the most important thing you can build for your business is an email list… it kind of seems like you have your work cut out for you for now. Hope this has helped!
