Pick Up The Phone and Dial

"Tim, I want to start a business."

Stop reading. Start calling.

Here's what really works:

  • Not your business plan

  • Not your perfect website

  • Not your clever strategy

Just:

  1. Pick Up The Phone

  • Call potential customers

  • Call competitors

  • Call anyone who might help

  1. Ask Real Questions

  • What problems do you have?

  • What solutions do you need?

  • How can I help?

  1. Be Brutally Honest

  • "I'm just starting out"

  • "I'm trying to learn"

  • "I want to help"

My 8-figure exit started with calls:

  • Called strangers

  • Took bad meetings

  • Asked dumb questions

  • Made endless mistakes

  • Learned everything

The pattern never fails:

  • More calls = More learning

  • More learning = Better product

  • Better product = Real business

Truth about business:

  • Customers won't find you

  • You must find them

  • It starts with one call

Scared to dial?

  • There are no absolutes (they might say yes)

  • When stuck, leave it (next call's waiting)

  • Everything will be OK (it always is)

Want proof?

  • Every business I built

  • Started with a call

  • Ended with millions

So right now:

  1. Stop reading

  2. Pick up your phone

  3. Dial someone

  4. Take notes

  5. Repeat

Think for yourself. Test everything. Keep what works.

And smile while you dial.
