i’ll share a little
[2023-05-10 08:20:16 PM] : i’ll share a little update on my work in case anyone is interested.
i’ve been sending out my snail mail newsletter, which i started in part to try to get more consulting clients. at this point there are about 150 people signed up. it’s a bit expensive but if i get just one long-term consulting client out of it ever, the whole thing will have been worth it.
also in order to get more consulting clients, i’ve decided to a) make a list of basically everyone professionally know and then b) have a call with at least one of those people per week. the list is hundreds long and growing, so at this rate it will take me a number of years to get all the way through the list. and then i’ll start over again from the beginning! on these calls i’m making sure to let the person know that i’m now offering consulting services and to explain what my consulting services are. this is a bit time consuming but again, it won’t take many “hits” to make it all worth it.

i’m ALSO working on converting my existing e-book into a real print book. i got a proof copy in the mail the other day. i plan to rewrite the content from scratch and there are some formatting issues i need to figure out, so i have a lot of work ahead of me, but i’ve figured out the hard parts. a big part of the reason i’m doing this print book project is because i believe it will help me get consulting clients. and the higher-quality the content is and the
