The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: Enjoyable read or audible book. Funny and sets perspective in life. How to Win Friends and Influence People: Classic and great to teach about communication with people. Nail it Then Scale it: Great business book for nailing the business model then scaling. Buy Then Build: Is a good book if you are looking to purchase an existing business. Crossing the Chasm: Tech based but can be for a company hitting flat sales after a successful launch. The 4-Hour Work Week: Are you looking to escape your W-2 job and start an owner absentee model? (I have more but these were my favorites this year)

I recorded a message about sales and will post it in the community. There were no other people on the call so I closed the event. See you all on the next one.

What’s the biggest barrier right now to launching your business?

I’ve recently been getting more requests to submit proposals for scanning work. I’ve been learning to read site plans and schematics, which has been a steep but valuable learning curve. I’ve been watching videos and leaning on my field experience to figure out the time and resources each job will require. Where I’m still unsure is whether my proposals are hitting the mark. I’ve seen some examples online, but I’m not confident if mine are clear, complete, and presented in a way that decision-makers will take seriously. For those of you with experience reviewing or sending proposals, I’d appreciate any tips on what you look for when deciding whether to approve or accept a bid. What are the key points that make a proposal stand out to you? If you’re open to it, I’d be happy to send you a sample privately so you can give me feedback. Any advice from people who have been on either side of the process would be greatly appreciated.
