As I’ve not made an update on where the coaching is up to since the first module, I’m going to give a quick summary of the ALL the modules right up to date. This is going to be the first of 2 posts.

Module #1

This module was all about goals & planning ahead. Here are a few of things we learnt:

  • To start small, but think big. This basically means although we are just starting out, there is no harm in thinking about the big things we will be able to achieve in the future. By thinking about the things we want to achieve, we can then start to plan backwards from that end goal, to find out all the things we need to do, learn or outsource in order to achieve it.

  • That we need to have personal goals as well as business & entrepreneurial goals. It’s important that you have personal goals, as they will help you to remain focused, and determined to not give up when the going gets a little tough. I find that having my goals stuck on the wall near my desk is good for motivation. It helps me to not lose track & stick to my plan at all times.

  • Scrutinize your day by logging everything you do, and how long you spent doing it, Alex calls these ‘daily did sheets’. Then at the end of the day you will see exactly how much time you’ve wasted, and you can then try and cut out the things that wasted your time the next day, and onwards.

  • Plan the day ahead, the night before, prioritize your tasks. For instance you would make an ,A, B, and C list. Your A list would be high priority tasks that need doing first, and so on.

Module #2

This module was all about getting a Profit Pulling Platform set up. A Profit Pulling Platform is basically a series of web pages that will become your sales funnel. You can then channel traffic from the internet through that sales funnel, and start to pull profits.

Here’s some key points that we learnt here:

  • Our main focus with our Profit Pulling Platform is to get people to sign up to our list.

  • Treat your list as real people, not as numbers.

  • To keep an eye on our conversion rates, and do split testing (I’ll explain split testing at a later date.)

  • You will need to outsource certain tasks like graphics for instance, various other things that would take you to long to learn.

  • To track our traffic using Google Analytics. (I’ll be making a post explaining about this soon)

We are actually up to Module #4 now, I will continue this coaching update in the next post, which will be tomorrow.

Paul.
