Welcome to this week’s Biz Starter 🚀Newsletter!

Have you ever wondered what your competitor’s business looks like behind the scenes?

  • How do they do such a good job onboarding their customers?

  • How do they consistently get new clients?

  • How can they afford to pay their monthly expenses and themselves?

  • How do they make it look so darn easy?

It’s a mystery, but it doesn’t have to be.

I can honestly say that some entrepreneurs have a dream to own a business, and then they just start selling their services.

SNAP, just like that.

With no business plan, marketing strategy, client-getting system, or strategy to earn predictable monthly income.

That’s when the nightmare begins.🎃

The good news is that it’s never too late to create your business plan, marketing strategy, client-getting system, branded contracts, proposals, or earn predictable monthly income.

In this week’s Top Tool section, I share a cool tool that was designed to help you with all of these. 👇

It's time to face reality, start addressing these issues, and turn your nightmare into an entrepreneurial dream.
