I almost went broke making this mistake š„“ If youāre still doing the same thing thatās not working, then doing it more isnāt gonna fix your issue! When I was getting started I thought reachout was just a numbers game. The more I send the more chance I have of a response. And while thatās true to an extent, itās what happens after the response that really makes the difference. I sent over 100 emails and got 0 responses. Clearly just doing more of what sucked wasnāt the answer. ā Posting more on Instagram doesnāt necessarily mean youāll get more inbound leads. ā Sending more outbound messages doesnāt necessarily mean youāre gonna close more deals. ā Simply raising your prices doesnāt necessarily mean youāll make more in your business. If youāve tried those things and are still stuck, doing more wonāt help you. I started implementing precision prospecting to contact my ideal clients with a hyper targeted message aimed at solving a problem I knew they needed help with and as a result, my close rates skyrocketted. Instead of sending 100 emails with maybe 3-5 replies and (maybe) a low ticket deal. I could now send 10 highly targeted emails and close high 4 and 5 figure content deals fairly easily. Once you know the frameworks, it becomes so much easier to serve your clients and get paid well in the process. If youāre interested in learning how precision prospecting works and how you can use it to start landing more consistent high ticket clients DM me CREATE and Iāll show you! Youāre gonna wanna save this one! š² Follow @nashhagen (thatās me) for more creative business tips š„ Be blessed and stay stoked šš¤
Are you a freelancer or a business ownerš I think a lot of times we think of scaling as something that would be nice once weāre ready, but when you switch you perspective, you actually realize that not knowing how to scale costs you thousands of dollars and hours of your time every single month. In the example I gave in the video, you would be missing out on $9,000/mo which is over $100k/yr just because you donāt know how to scale your business effectively. And thatās just by raising your prices. Imagine the difference once you attract better clients, add more value to your offer, make a scalable system, and build teams and automations. The sky is the limit! Believe it or not, the difference between a $10k client and $1k client is not all that much. The main difference is in how you present your value. Itās always easier to pitch new clients new rates then to convince an old client to pay you more. That being said, the first step of scaling always has to be firing your clients that take too much time and donāt pay enough. The problem is, we get attached to these less than ideal clients because they are essentially our lifeline for survival. The minute we lose them we feel like weāre out of business. But the very clients we feel are our life jackets are the ones that are anchoring us down and preventing us from progressing by sucking up our time and attention. Thatās a scary place to be, and a place I realized I didnāt ever want to be in again. I had to find a way out and thatās why I share what I share.

Iām trying to build a movement for creators. Iām tired of seeing talented people scraping by and not getting paid their worth. Your talent and skills are worth far more than that. Iām not doing this cause I want to get rich. Iām not doing it because I want to build followers, Iām doing it cause I see a genuine need in the industry for people to be transparent about how to ACTUALLY make a sustainable living out of content creation. Sure you could go the influencer route, but chances are, itāll take you years to get to a point where you can charge real money and by the time you do youāll be super burnt out and wonāt want to be doing that the rest of your life. Trust me I get that haha. The only option is to build a business that is actually scalable, growable, and sustainable. Not one built on you and your followers. And you can only do that by learning the skills necessary to get you there. Things like precision prospecting (matching the right message with the right person), story-telling sales frameworks, and scaling blueprints and much more. Thatās how you grow a business that sustains itself long term. If youāre ready to start building that for yourself DM me āCREATEā on IG and letās get started!
