You can actually hunt clients without big results.
You don't need to tell people you're good.
You need to talk in a way that makes them think you're good.
Know the terms: hook rate, hold rate, CTR, CPC, CPM, ROAS, CPA, AOV, hit rate, creative fatigue, Andromeda update, ad account health.
When these roll naturally off your tongue on a sales call, the person on the other end thinks "this person gets it."
Exactly ,
never bring a problem to the CEO without a solution attached to it.
If you identify an issue and just flag it, you're creating more stress.
If you identify it and come with a plan to fix it, they think "what would we do without him."
you pretty much play the hero role most of the time
Wild how much of business is just knowing what to call yourself.
Spent the last few days learning abt "creative strategy."
Turns out it's just copywriting with a fancier name and a bigger paycheck.

This is the opposite of a copywriter who can be swapped out relatively easily.
A doctor studies for 10 years before making $10K+ a month.
You've been learning for 60 days
And already calling yourself a failure.
Relax.
Yes the internet is fast.
But skill-building is not.
There are no shortcuts to becoming genuinely good at something.
Show up everyday. Study. Work. Repeat.
The timeline is longer than you think
And shorter than you fear.
