"...stop worrying about having this perfect agency because you're never going to have a perfect agency". This hit me hard

[@ravens_tale]

Thank you for this. I needed the hard truth right now. I'm one of those who have started, but have focused too much on image (website, logo, socials etc) and have procrastinated actually signing my first client. The imposter syndrome is real. But tonight i'll create a lead list with 10 potential clients and reach out tomorrow. Thanks Jordan!

Hi there

[@gerome1118]

[@ylipaino]

Leaving a comment for the algorithm to help spread the word for you!👊

[@themclloyd]

I appreciate the messages you are currently conveying to us. Instead of urging people to follow your course, you are being genuine. Keep up the wonderful work, my brother, and thanks for everything.

[@duskojordanovski832]

I've heard but never tried it. I'll follow your advice. Let's see what happens.

[@countdown5286]

Your right sir. You said the right thing

[@Nora-h2p]

I am deeply grateful to you Jordan for all your encouragement and your knowledge. Thank you so much for all you do ❤🙏

[@szymonbalcer]

Affluent Academy will have to start offering Counselling after that Intro 😂

[@VassagoStraad]

I don’t know if you have ever mentioned having ADHD before, but thank you for sharing that but! I have been struggling with my own ADHD for a while now and knowing you did it means I can too! My main problem is that I cannot being myself to make or answer phone calls. Sometimes the thought of that can make my stomach turn. It’s getting better, but slowly. Thank you for helping us to start our own business!

[@24.Hustle]

Dude it’s like your speaking directly to me man. Thank you for the value

[@lalitagamer3826]

I love this guy!❤

[@satinrich]

I am experiencing imposter syndrome... but am convinced I can get move past that. As well, although time seems to be available, for me, it's not the ideal hours of any day. Working full-time, and managing a house and family leaves small pockets of availability. Regardless, it's time to start finding that first client.

[@thejordanlee_]

Takes time to overcome these barriers but it's a new way of life after you do. Great vid Jordan!

[@kaminchoo]

Early morning from my side. What a great timing way to start my day! Biggest takeaway, be successful in on thing!

[@markturnbull7733]

Great video Jordan just what I needed. Not having run facebook or instagram ads before is the biggest thing holding me back. My Tee-shirt size is large just for reference 😉

[@kylevaubel3897]

Jordan, this is the video I needed to see! Sometimes I (we) need a video that cuts through the BS and just gives it to me straight, no excuses. Go out and get it! Thanks for the motivation, you have changed my life! More then just starting an agency, but building great habits and having the right mindset. I only have one client as I finally got over not feeling “ready” to begin setting meetings. The best experience, is simply experience. Keep up the work we love ya for it. Cheers from Ohio, US 🥂

[@talk2mambie]

[@selma77]

Having gone through so many of these things, you're spot on with this video and hope it helps others that were in my situation, solid video!

[@QueenGem7ni7]

Hi,Jordan, you mentioned to start just make a list of the companies around you and start reaching out. We'll as someone is not experienced in sales and just starting out would you recommend at first a face to face meeting with the potential client or cold emails? Should one use a sales script? 3rd will I need proof of actual examples of my work to land my frist client? I know these are alot of questions just wounder how to approach the client; should it be a focused niche or just any industry?

[@connortooley8376]

Hey Jordan, love the videos, could you do an updated one on the different niches and pros and cons of the different industries. Thanks ❤️

[@mohammadashraf6004]

anyone want a accountability partner

[@nobodyspecialdotorgrichard5971]

I only have one block and it is a valid one. And Jordan, you lighty touched on it. I have no experience! That is an enormously valid point and yes, it holds me back from calling on potential clients. People want refereces or at the very very least, someone who is knowledgeable so they have confidence in your skillset. I am superb at building rapport and building trust but, I refuse to do that if I don't even know what I am talking about. That is dishonest and manipulative. So, what do you recommend for someone who has zero experience with Google ads(that is where I would focus my energy for my agency). to start with so I can present myself as knowledgeable and can win their confidence? Where to start?

[@FionnMacCool]

Offer a free trial for 2 weeks to show that you can do it or promise to refund their money if they don't get the results they want

[@Cough__XD]

I haven't felt ready for 3 years 😭. I've been working much more in the last week to actually started though so I'm excited. I have well over 250 leads... Just... Havent contacted them yet. I think I'm also stopping myself since I don't have a business name yet to plug into useful software like lemlist. I'm was thinking of "Ember Digital" but the abbreviation isn't the best 😅

[@nii_ob]

Ember Media (EM) Ember Advertising (EA) Ember Digital Agency (EDA) Ember Ads … Just a few you can play around with. All the best man🙌🏽 I’m sure you’ll do amazing!👍🏽

[@aruoturebishop1024]

[@abdalramahi8385]

I already started my agency, but the only problem I face before looking for clients is that I don't know what service I should offer and how to learn the services, and I can't charge a client that I am not sure I can deliver the service

[@stitchesbyrajmeen]

[@flaticdigital4213]

Hey looking for an accountability partner

[@kelvinmob8848]

The businesses around me don't make up to 100 dollars a month and most of them don't even have Facebook or Instagram

[@hiromamoru8978]

About the "lazy " part Ok but what if I don't have a home and no private bedroom to have real sleep whenever I need to have energy and actually have a lot of time to get work done related to my new Dropserviving SMMA Business? Unlike you I don't have a easy good life.

[@jordongrieve6142]

Been wanting to start an agency myself for ages but really struggled, is anyone from Scotland willing be an accountability partner?

[@DavidVardy1]

Jordan, I don't mind being your accountability partner

[@thedhanrajsingh]
