The most common obstacle people deal with is wasting their time on freeloaders.
You know what I’m talking about. You start reaching out to people. Talk about their goals and their current problems. Give them a few pointers. Maybe even try to “establish a connection” (whatever that means).
But when it’s time to talk about your offer and ask if they’re interested. Then suddenly they’re “not sure if it’s the right time” or they’ll “get back to you later” or “just have to think about it”.
This is what almost every single person I work with deals with.
And for some reason most people also think that’s just part of the job. That you’ll just have to deal with it.
Well I’m here to tell you that it isn’t.
It’s not “part of the job”. It’s not something unavoidable. It’s you not knowing what you’re doing and making mistakes. Mistakes that make you waste all your time talking to people who’ll never end up buying from you anyway.
The good part?
Those are mistakes that you can easily fix. As a starter: stop talking to people who can’t afford to.
How you ask?
Stop attracting them with your content.
Here’s a mistake I see all the time. I go to someone’s Twitter profile and their bio reads the following (this is a real example I found):
===
I help CEOs and 6–7 figure entrepreneurs build & monetize their audience through attention-grabbing writing & storytelling. Generated $2,500 in the last 2 months.
===
Alright, so you’re telling me your target audience is “CEOs and 6-7 figures entrepreneurs” and you’re ‘flexing’ how you made $2,500 in 2 months?
My man. That’s not a flex. Not at all.
You’re not impressing your CEO friends. Do you know who’s impressed by that? The 16-year-old high school kids looking to play business on social media and charge one another for “growth coaching” and get a bunch of mindless followers all high on playing pretend which leaves them with no other option than selling growth courses and becoming a growth coach themselves or thinking they’re profession ghostwriters.
You know what those 16-year-olds also have? A lack of money.
The money you want to earn by building a legit business around your high-value skill and adding actual value to the world instead of playing business with some kids in the schoolyard.
That’s a positioning mistake my friend. A positioning mistake you can easily fix which will help you waste less time dealing with people who don’t have the money to pay you. And which will help you finally attract the ones who do have the money to pay you.
