7 weirdly effective habits for entrepreneurs:

🌱Using a standing desk: Many e-commerce owners spend long hours sitting at a desk, which can take a toll on their health. Using a standing desk can improve posture, increase energy levels, and reduce the risk of health problems associated with prolonged sitting

🌱Sleeping with a notepad: Keeping a notepad by your bedside can help capture any sudden ideas or inspirations that come to you in the middle of the night

🌱Wearing the same outfit every day: By eliminating the decision of what to wear, successful entrepreneurs can save their decision-making power for more important matters

🌱 Setting aside time for daydreaming - Allowing yourself time to daydream can actually lead to increased creativity and problem-solving abilities

🌱Practicing gratitude: Taking time each day to reflect on what they're thankful for helps entrepreneurs stay positive and focused on their goals

🌱Setting boundaries: Successful entrepreneurs set boundaries to protect their time and energy. They say no to projects and commitments that don't align with their goals and priorities, and they delegate tasks whenever possible

🌱Embracing failure: Entrepreneurs understand that failure is part of the process and they don't let it discourage them. Instead, they use failure as a learning opportunity and keep moving forward

Send 1000+ emails on autopilot ✈️

(pressing just one button)

Whether you have an E-commerce, an agency, or just any other online business you have to send emails

A LOT of emails…

When I first started my agency I spent literally hours to find GOOD and FREE software that can send automatized and personalised email

today I'll save you those endless hours of research

and give you the solution!

First, let’s clarify what are the necessities here:

🌱Sending a lot of emails(of course)

🌱Be able to add as many personalized features as possible, like links, images etc…

🌱Having analytics of the campaigns you create to see what is working and what to improve

At first, i started Lemlist’s free trial, and I have to say is a pretty good tool

you have detailed analytics

friendly and easy-to-use user interface

but to be honest 60$/mo were too much for me…

So I found:

⚡️hunter.io⚡️

🌱 Of course it’s completely FREE

🌱 It’s super EASY to connect the email account from where you want to send the email, just make access to the email account from Hunter’s interface

(not so obvious, some tools ask you to do something into the domain settings and is not easy…)

🌱 Can make your own schedule for when to send emails

🌱 You have a complete statistics for every campaign you do, with open rate, link clicks, replies, etc..

🌱 You can add links to the email with the free version, but you need premium to add images

🌱 You can add up to 5 follow-ups and select when to send them and personalize them

🌱 Can create as many campaigns as you want

🌱 Send as many emails as you want

To import the contacts you can choose whatever you want, there are a lot of methods

Personally, I used to have my prospect’s list on Excel organized by: Email, Name, BusinessName, Website

I then exported the file as .csv and import that into the tool

create eventually your personalized attribute and Hunter will do the rest!

I gave you the tool, now if you have a good script and strategy, nobody will stop you!

I’ve built my website on my own and this is what I’ve learned

I coded it actually, but it wasn't necessary 😬

To build your website or make some changes you have to have a few things in place

First of all, you have to have a clear vision of what you want to use your website for and what you want to show 👀

Example:

E-commerce -> will use the website for conversions

Agency -> will use the website just to display the services

After that, you have to actually build it and you have a few options here:

🌱 The easy way is to contact an agency to do that for you but you have money to invest in it 👥

🌱 Code it yourself, like I did 👨💻

Now, here's some problem with that:

🌱 You have to have the knowledge for that, and I can say that what they teach you in school isn't enough

🌱 You can't use all the features that exist nowadays unless you do it and sometimes is hard or you can't do it

Don't worry, if I did it you can too! 💥

I suggest finding an existing template that you like that is already built

Example: I searched for "Digital marketing agency website template"

Then customize it based on the message you want to spread

This has ZERO COSTS, beside the domain you have to pay

🌱Use a Tool (This is what I raccomand) 🛠

There are some amazing tools nowadays that can build a website for you and you can customize it then

My best 3 for you are:

🌱 WordPress

🌱Squarespace

🌱”Wix”

But I warn you, you can use the free version but they all have a sort of maintenance cost ( most of them can give you the domain name included)

NB: If you are in a specific industry, you can have solid tools that can build your website customized for your industry, such as Shopify for E-commerce. I recommend that

Everything I said here is doable it depends on the kind of effort you want to put in ⚡️

Tesla sells innovation, not cars.

Nike sells inspiration, not shoes.

Coca-Cola sells happiness, not soda.

McDonald's sells convenience, not food.

Have you ever heard of the quote:

"People buy with emotion and then justify with logic"

Keeping that in mind will help you in the selling process

Adjust your sales speech, knowing that you have to target the emotional pain point of the prospect 🔑

(In a good and respectful way)

How can you apply this mindset in your business?
