    I've watched several videos on consulting, and this is the best, most straight forward one I've seen. Unlike your video, most videos have the "ask" at the end of them, without providing any real actionable tasks for the viewer to do. Excellent video.

    I was having a thought three days ago about that... I am used to people asking me for advice on many topics that I am interested in. And I always give it for free, and they are happy with the outcome. This video was pure luck to be in my recommended because I haven't searched for anything even remotely close to consulting. So after watching it, honestly I am blown away by the things Mr Suby talked about! I have all of that coming to me naturally on daily basis. It is time for me to follow my guts here. Thank you, sir!

    Loved your video great info. I’m going into the same industry. As a person that Learned how to open and operate a business by doing it myself I’m able to provide the same knowledge for people that want to start their own business and avoid the pitfalls avoid scamming. Because believe me if these people that are out there to scam you they know when the person is starting the business and that’s when they’ll take a vantage of you so that’s where I come in and I help them avoid those so-called pitfalls.

Even if he did get first time results he will try to bargain price and that mean customer is leading our sale now. I think we want to give him something free like this videos or free join in webinar on start.

      I agree. I always advice to charge, and charge appropriate for the desire you are helping them achieve. Not for your time.
      The people who want discounts and free work always end up not being the type of clients we usually enjoy working with.
      If you start by finding WHO you want to help, then you ask those people what they are struggling with, you can craft an offer that will speak directly to them, and get them to want to hop on the phone with you. Then you close the call, if it turns out that you can help them for sure. When we take people through this process, you don’t need prior results.
      Because none of it is about you.
      Even when we are on the call, we are diagnosing their problem, not talking about our achievements..
      Even if you don’t know how to get that specific result they want yet, you can research it, learn it, then deliver. This is easy to do when you are focusing on 1 type of client with a specific problem.

Tho I would choose a field I find interesting and opportunistic but not exactly in my passion.
