Hey everyone, Quick question — when starting out, what’s the smarter move? 1️⃣ Reach out to potential clients one by one, sometimes even doing free work to build a portfolio OR 2️⃣ Pay someone a small fee who promises 3–5 client appointments per day. Even landing just one client would cover the cost. He even showed videos of clients getting 10–15 inquiries daily. Option 2 seems like it could save months of hard manual work. But then I see posts here of people offering free services, not sure how well that actually works. I’m just starting, so I’d love feedback from anyone with a couple of years of experience. If you want, I can even share the framework he sent me so you can see exactly what I mean.

I’ve noticed something interesting in this space. Some people aren’t super advanced skill-wise, but they still charge $5k–$10k just for a website. I get that design is subjective, but honestly, that feels like a lot. On the other hand, it shows me how much sales and positioning matter compared to just having skills. So, what do you think matters more when starting, to build top-level skills, or learning how to sell and land clients first?

AI takes center stage at Windsor Castle When Donald Trump and the world’s top tech CEOs meet under royal chandeliers, you know it’s bigger than pageantry. - Nvidia pledges 120K GPUs for UK supercomputing - Microsoft & others commit multi-billion AI investments - A new US–UK “Tech Prosperity” pact is born This isn’t just business. It’s AI as geopolitics. The U.S. cements a stronger foothold in Europe, while the UK positions London as an AI hub, promising thousands of high-value jobs. The big question: will this democratize AI innovation, or concentrate its power in fewer hands? #AI #Geopolitics #Innovation #USUKPact #FutureOfWork #Tech #AIEra

Real talk — I just helped a small business owner who was getting traffic but barely any bookings. Their problem wasn’t ads, wasn’t their offer… it was their website.❌ Slow loading (people bounce before seeing the offer)❌ No clear booking button (clients didn’t know what to do)❌ No testimonials (zero trust built) After fixing these 3 things, their calendar started filling up within 2 weeks. I’m curious — how do you feel about your own website right now?👉 Is it bringing you leads consistently, or just sitting there like an online brochure?

One thing I’ve learned in business is that growth happens faster when people share what works instead of keeping everything to themselves. So today, I want to give back a little. Over the past months, I’ve tested and applied a few strategies that helped me improve [conversion rates / client outreach / time management choose your angle], and the results have been consistent. I’m happy to share insights, answer questions, or even point you toward resources that made the biggest difference for me. If even one idea helps someone here move forward faster, then it’s worth it. 🙌 What’s one challenge you’re currently working through in your business? Maybe I (or someone else here) can drop something helpful.
