The 3 things I've learned in business are... 1. Stand firm on your pricing. Letting someone haggle your prices down is letting them devalue your work. , 2. All money is not good money. If a new or existing client is throwing off negative energy, it's worth turning down the contract. I've found that having peace of mind is priceless. 3. Be a good reflection of your business when you go out in public. You'll meet a lot of people when you're out running errands(grocery shopping, getting gas, etc.) and after striking up a conversation, they often ask what you do? You're appearance and how you carry yourself will be the difference in them wanting to exchange contact information or not. Business opportunities can come when you least expect them. #contentcreator #copywriter #websitedesigner #journalist #nba #nfl #sports #realestate #business

What would you do if you had to turn a hobby into a full-time income in just 30 days? Answer: I faced that exact scenario when my passion for photography became my lifeline. Here’s how I made £40,000 in a month starting with little more than my camera: 1) I identified my niche in food photography, a growing market for restaurants and food brands. 2) I contacted local eateries and proposed a “photoshoot” experience to enhance their menu presentation. 3) I told them they could increase their sales without upfront costs—only paying me a set fee if they liked the results. 4) “Free photoshoot, only pay if you're thrilled with the outcome,” became my enticing offer. 5) I leveraged social media to showcase my previous work and attract attention. 6) I used my savings to run an initial £200 targeted ad campaign to reach local businesses. 7) Each lead generated cost me £10, but I managed to secure three restaurants on a £1,500 package. That's a 15:1 return! 8) In the first week, I spent my ad budget and secured £10,000 in contracts, then reinvested for more exposure. 9) By the end of the month, I had made £40,000 from a passion I turned into a thriving business. This isn’t just theory; it’s how I transformed my life through creativity and determination. You can follow this model: identify your passion, create a value-driven offer, and market yourself effectively. Win-win.

My single biggest piece of advice: ⭐️ Take imperfect action. ⭐️ It’s okay if you don’t have the perfect plan. It’s okay if you’re not entirely sure what you’re doing. It’s okay if your end goal seems like some light in the distance. ➡️Just take those small steps forward. Because your end goal will never get any closer if you just keep planning and wishing and hoping and dreaming. It all starts with a dream or goal. But you have to make a choice, make a decision, take a step… Because the reality is, it’s never gonna be exactly perfect. And waiting for perfection is just an excuse. A delay tactic. Things will always shift, and we have to roll with the punches. But first, we just have to start. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ I’m Megan.

If a potential investor says, "No" → Move on to the next. If a potential book publisher says, "No" → Next. If a potential client says, "No" → Next. If a potential business partner says, "No" → Next. Remember that every "No" brings you closer to the right "Yes" So when you feel like giving up, → Don't. Because you are closer to success than you think! P.S.

***Do you need to ‘up your game’ for producing videos for your estate agency business?*** Is it the fear of doing them, the fact you don’t think it will be perfect to launch or you have simply just put it off, not done it and/or procrastinated? I was initially guilty of not getting on with what is very important for agents nowadays. Here are ten suggestions to just get on with it: First, practice in front of a mirror or with a friend to build confidence. Get that person to hold you accountable to x no of videos a week! Second, focus on your message and your audience, not on yourself. Third, create a script to help you stay on track. Fourth, start with shorter videos and gradually increase the length as you get comfortable. Do not make them too long as people will not watch them! 2 mins max! Fifth, remember that mistakes are normal and it’s okay to not be perfect. Sixth, watch other estate agents’ videos for inspiration and ideas. Seventh, use good lighting and audio tools to improve video quality. Also use many of the free editing apps such as InShot or CapCut etc! Eighth, focus on providing value to your audience by sharing useful information. Ninth, practice deep breathing or other relaxation techniques to calm your nerves. And tenth, be yourself and let your personality shine through—people will appreciate your authenticity! I’d be happy to share some finer details of getting started with any agent who would like a boost with this!
