When I was 16, I became interested in music production and recording.
- How did they combine those sounds?
- Is that a real instrument?
All day I thought about these.
Then I started taking action.
I'd buy computer music magazines, go home, and try to squeeze out as much from them. Then I'll install some pirated programs on my computer – and try making some music.
I didn't get far.
8 months in and RM800 poorer (spent on magazines & pirate CDs), I didn't finish a single music track.
I decided to get help
After pestering my mom, I enrolled in a 1-to-1 class at a local recording studio.
The founder of the studio loaded a project on his computer and showed me how a music track was made. Get an Apple laptop, and forget Windows. Use this software. Here's what a music arrangement looks like. The bass usually follows the kick drums. Here's the difference between a rock and bossanova rhythm. You can start with a popular 4-chord progression.
In the next 3-4 months of taking lessons, I was producing decent music tracks. A year or two later, I found a stock music site, listed some of my music, and made some money.
Even the best performers have coaches
Knowledgeable coaches are worth spending money on.
They show me the shortest path between where I am to where I want to be.
Go back to when I'm 16 years old. What if I had kept trying to learn music production on my own?
- It would have taken me years to produce some decent music.
- I wouldn't have made money from my music.
- I wouldn't have worked on interesting projects.
I'm sure I'm smart enough to figure it out on my own. But, it would have taken me much longer.
Even the best athletes – Rafael Nadal, Michael Jordan, and Tiger Woods had coaches. Business leaders, Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos had coaches.
What makes you think you don't need one?
I believe in this idea so much, that this has become the basis of the workshops we've been launching at Daily CMO. Today, I want to tell you more about The Sales Accelerator in November – and how it'll help you grow your business.
From Zero Sales to "We Can't Keep Up!"
The reason businesses fail is because they couldn't sell their ideas fast enough – at prices and quantities high enough to survive.
In other words, they had a broken sales system.
The founders spent too much time focusing on things that don't matter – designing websites, saving money, lowering prices, and focusing on problems that don't bring revenue.
And no time optimizing their sales.
We can dream of an ideal world, or wake up to reality
The reality is NO business will survive without predictable sales.
Take a look at some of these statements:
- Do you wish you had a system to generate leads, predictably?
- Do you wish your sales team knew what to say and when to say, to close more deals?
- You know your business is not reaching its full potential, yet.
- You don't know your numbers – cost per lead, acquisition cost, customer lifetime value...
- You're constantly worried about where your next customers will come from.
- You're constantly trying random tactics you discovered online, hoping to finally find a way to grow your business.
- Clients are constantly rejecting you.
- You can't recall your revenue goal.
If you answered yes to one or more of these statements, then Sales Accelerator will help.
