I LANDED MY VERY FIRST CLIENT AFTER DOING THESE 3 THINGS. I sent a medical consultation company an email. They responded a few days later. We hopped on a call. And the following week, I started working with the company. But before I ever sent that email, I had done 3 things that made getting that opportunity possible.

I have an idea and I need you to drop feedback to help me make a decision.

If you're a business owner, entrepreneur, or someone trying to build a presence online. Basically, if you're doing anything online and you want people to see you and eventually become your customers you should know this: Your next customer may already be checking you out right now. They might not be buying yet. They might not send you a DM yet. But they are checking you out. They've seen your post. They've clicked your profile. They've looked through your page. Maybe they've even read your comments or checked your reviews. And in those few minutes, they are quietly asking themselves: Can I trust this business? Do they actually know what they're doing? Is this worth my money? This is why your online presence is more than just posting content. Your content should be saying something about you and your business. Your reviews are saying something. The way you respond to comments and DMs is saying something. Even what people find when they search your name is part of your marketing. So the question isn't just “Are people seeing me?” It's “When they see me, am I giving them a reason to trust me?” Because sometimes, the customer you're looking for is already watching. They just haven't decided yet. And if you're struggling with how to actually start conversations with potential clients instead of waiting for them to magically find you, our Cold DM Masterkit can help. Check the comment section for the details. And one more thing… I'm putting together something exciting for November around client acquisition. That's all I'm saying for now. 😂 Keep calm, more details are coming soon.

I did a thing on founder-led marketing @creatorsvilage and this is something more business owners need to pay attention to. People don’t just want to know what your business sells. They also want to know the person behind the brand. Your story, your thoughts, your experiences, and the way you communicate can help people connect with your business on a deeper level.

It’s been ONE year since I borrowed money to learn a remote skill called Graphic Design. At the time, I didn’t know exactly where it would take me. I just knew I needed to learn something that could change my financial situation. A few months into practising the skill, I paid for my first apartment. When I think about where I was before then, I’m reminded of how far I’ve come. I was living in a one-room apartment with rats, while agberos were stealing things from my house. And now, one year later, I can look back and say: Learning that skill changed my life. This is why I’ll always encourage people to learn a skill that gives them access to opportunities beyond their immediate environment. Not because learning a skill automatically makes you successful. But because the right skill, combined with practice, persistence and the willingness to put yourself out there, can give you a new path. Sometimes, the thing you need isn’t another motivational quote. Sometimes, you need to learn something valuable and get really good at it. One year later, I’m grateful I took that step. What is the one skill you genuinely want to learn today? If you've already learnt a skill but still finding it difficult to get clients I've got something for in the comments 👇🏾

BUSINESS OWNERS WHO ARE WAITING FOR CUSTOMERS TO FIND THEM THROUGH THEIR CONTENT MAY NOT BE READY TO SELL OUT BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR. Let me explain. Imagine you sell women’s clothing. You post your new collection. You spend money taking beautiful pictures. You make Reels. You post customer reviews. You run a discount. And you’re still wondering: “Where are the people who actually want to buy this?” This is where I think most business owners are missing an opportunity. You don’t always need to create more content. Sometimes, you need to go where your potential customers are already talking about what they want. And AI can help you find those conversations. If you want to learn how to use AI to find your market, uncover customer demand and get more people buying within the next 3 months, start with these methods. And if you want me to share the AI tools I use for this kind of research, customer discovery and business growth, comment “TOOLS.” I’ll start a series showing you the tools and exactly what each one can help you do as a business owner. But Here are some easy methods I use with ChatGPT👇🏾👇🏾

An old secondary school classmate sent me this message and it honestly broke my heart. You could tell that she had gotten to that point where she was tired, frustrated, and didn’t know what to do anymore. I was working when I saw the notification, but I immediately rushed to WhatsApp to respond. So I asked her "Do you have a skill?” Because just like many young people, we sometimes love the idea of making money without first answering the difficult question: “What exactly can I offer someone that they will pay me for?” Thankfully, she already had an idea of the skill she wanted to learn. So I helped her figure out where to start learning it. But then I thought about something else. A lot of freelancers make this mistake and I made it too. They learn the skill, Finish the training and then 6 months later, no client, no money, absolutely nothing. Not necessarily because they aren’t good at the skill. They simply never learnt the skill of getting clients. So during our conversation, I showed her where I would start which I would be sharing with us for free. As we went deeper, we talked about finding prospects, researching them, knowing who to reach out to, what to say, how to approach them and how to build an actual client acquisition process. At some point during the conversation, she told me she wanted to understand the process beyond what we had discussed. That’s when she bought my Outreach MasterKit. I’m sharing this part of our conversation with you because you don’t have to buy anything to start. You can take what I’ve shared here, apply it to your own skill and start looking for potential clients today. And if you want to get access to the other parts of our conversation, Comment ‘CLIENTS’ and I would show you how to access it. Here’s exactly how I would start: I want you to pay attention to the process because the goal isn’t to tell AI “Find me clients.” The goal is to use AI to help you understand who to look for, what to look for, where to find them and how to approach them. Here’s how I would approach it👇🏾👇🏾

A new week doesn’t automatically mean new results. What you do with the week is what makes the difference. Before you get busy checking off tasks, ask yourself: What am I actually trying to achieve this week? Because it’s easy to stay busy and still make little progress. Pick the things that matter, focus on them and execute. Then look back at the end of the week and ask yourself what actually moved you forward. Good morning and Happy new week.

If you’re a creator, business owner, or marketer, you need to understand the difference between marketing and sales. Because knowing the difference can completely change how you approach your content, offers, and customers. Marketing gets attention, while sales gets the decision. Marketing helps the right people discover you, understand what you offer, and know why you’re different. Sales takes that awareness a step further by building trust and moving the right customer toward making a buying decision. @creatorsvilage

A good time to wear my First Class Graduate Hat 👏
