"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.
