If I Lost Everything Tomorrow - This Is The Exact 30-Day Plan I'd Follow π₯
If I had to start over today, here's EXACTLY what I'd do in the next 30 days. WEEK 1: LEARN AND PREPARE DAY 1-2: Choose invoice processing (universal pain) DAY 3-5: Learn Make.com basics - Make Academy (free) - YouTube tutorials - Build 3 sample workflows DAY 6-7: Build demo workflow with PDF Vector free plan Templates: Make | Zapier | n8n WEEK 2: POSITION AND REACH OUT DAY 8-9: Join communities - 10 local business Facebook groups - 5 LinkedIn industry groups - 3 Reddit communities DAY 10-12: Search for pain points - Keywords: "manually entering", "tedious" - Find 20 posts complaining about manual work DAY 13-14: Engage genuinely - Comment helpful advice on 20 posts - NO pitching yet WEEK 3: FIND AND CLOSE DAY 15-17: Identify leads - Find 5 people with document processing pain - Start conversations via DM DAY 18-20: Discovery calls - Book 3 calls - Use discovery call framework - Listen more than talk DAY 21: Send proposals - Use winning template - Clear next steps - 50% deposit structure WEEK 4: BUILD AND DELIVER DAY 22-24: Build workflow - Use template library - Customize for client - Test thoroughly DAY 25-27: Demo and revise - Walk client through - Make adjustments DAY 28-30: Deliver and celebrate - Go live - Train client - Collect final payment REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS Not everyone closes in 30 days. Some take 45. Normal. People who follow this plan: 70%+ get first client within 30 days. People who stop at day 15: 0% success. MOST COMMON MISTAKE Stopping when you don't see immediate results. Days 10-20 feel slow. That's when most quit. Push through. Momentum comes.
