What It's About
A listener has done well to grow his hustle to a certain point, but sales have plateaued. What should he try next?
Notes from Chris
Episode 1330
Today’s caller has been able to build his project to $1,000 a month, but can’t move past the plateau. It’s a great start! What comes next? Full disclosure: I struggle with this too. Very often I’ve found myself feeling that I’m doing well but could be doing so much better. My answer has been a combination of trying to improve while also trying to make sure I’m always playing to my strengths and not just being average at everything… because average is boring. There’s no leverage in average."Hi Chris, this is Kevin from Dallas and I’ve been listening to the show for the past couple of years and have appreciated the helpful content. Speaking of help, I’m struggling with always hitting the same plateau. I’ve started three projects, and they all get to a certain point. I’m able to develop a product and see a few sales. My last project even earned $1,000 one month, but then it stalled out. I know you say that going from $1,000 to $2,000 isn’t twice as hard, but I don’t know why I keep encountering this plateau or what to do about it. Thanks for your help and keep up the great work."Listen to today's episode to learn more...
