If You Only Do One Thing This Week 🙏
Tried 20 different strategies first 6 months. Most didn't work. One consistently worked.
If you only do ONE thing this week, do this:
FIND AND START 10 CONVERSATIONS.
That's it.
NOT:
- Build more sample workflows
- Perfect your website
- Create content
- Design proposals
- Research tools
- Watch tutorials
All useful. None get clients.
THE ONE ACTION:
Find 10 business owners with document processing pain. Start conversations.
HOW TO FIND THEM:
OPTION 1: Facebook groups
Search: "manually entering", "tedious"
Result: 10 posts in 30 minutes
OPTION 2: LinkedIn
Search recent posts about operational pain
Connect + message
Result: 10 conversations in 1 hour
OPTION 3: Reddit
r/smallbusiness, industry subreddits
Look for complaints about manual work
Result: 10 DMs in 45 minutes
HOW TO START CONVERSATION:
Template:
"Saw your post about [their pain]. I actually help automate exactly this. Happy to show you how it could work if interested."
Not salesy. Just helpful.
THE MATH:
10 conversations started
3 respond (30%)
2 book calls (20%)
1 closes (10%)
One new client from one focused hour.
THE CONSISTENCY:
Week 1: 10 conversations → 1 client
Week 2: 10 conversations → 0 clients (normal)
Week 3: 10 conversations → 1 client
Week 4: 10 conversations → 2 clients
Month result: 3-4 new clients from this ONE action done weekly.
WHY THIS WORKS:
Direct path: Find pain → Offer solution → Close deal
No waiting: Results within days, not months
Proven: My 3 fastest clients all came from direct conversations
WHY WE AVOID IT:
Feels uncomfortable (rejection possible)
Seems too simple (can't be THAT easy)
Want to prepare more (perfectionism)
THE TRUTH:
All the preparation in world won't get you clients. Conversations will.
MY FIRST 6 MONTHS:
Months 1-2: Prepared, built samples, researched
Result: 0 clients
Month 3: Started 30 conversations
Result: 3 clients
Months 4-6: Consistent conversations weekly
Result: 5 total clients
THE PATTERN IS CLEAR:
Conversations = clients
Everything else = procrastination disguised as productivity
THE COMMITMENT:
Every Monday: Find and start 10 conversations
Track in spreadsheet:
- Date
- Where found
- What said
- Response
In 8 weeks: You'll have 3-5 clients.
Guaranteed? No. But most likely path to results.
THE ALTERNATIVES ALL TAKE LONGER:
Content marketing: 6+ months for traction
SEO: 12+ months for results
Referrals: Need clients first
Ads: Need budget and testing time
Conversations: Results this week.
THE EXCUSE I HEAR:
"But I don't have proven case studies yet..."
Neither did I. Still got first 3 clients from conversations.
They don't need perfection. They need their pain solved.
THE FINAL PUSH:
Reading this won't help. Action will.
Close this post. Open LinkedIn or Facebook. Find 10 posts about document pain. Start 10 conversations. Today.
That's how you get your first client.
What's your one action this week?
