Patrick is a straight shooter, and that’s one of the things I really appreciate about him. In this episode he breaks down what he learned from going through a lawsuit at the same moment most of his clients backed off business spending. We crack a lot of jokes (and do a lot of silly accents) in this one, but if nothing else I hope it shows you the power of focusing on the right things, and preparing yourself for the eventuality of a big, unexpected challenge.
Can’t-Miss Moments From This Episode:
- When the world collapses: how Patrick coped with a six-figure lawsuit at the same time COVID shut the world down
- The double-edged sword of online entrepreneur groups… part support group, part pitchfork mob (and how they can make you act against your own interests)
- Being the trusted expert doesn’t mean you have to be your clients’ boss… the real way to build lasting relationships (and command respect)
- Why focusing on making millions is short-sighted (and potentially setting you up for a Notorious B.I.G. situation… mo’ money, mo’ problems)
- Where do you draw the line between your personal and professional lives, and is it OK to share when you’re going through a rough patch?
This one is jam-packed full of advice. Don’t miss out - listen now!
Patrick’s Bio:
After working as a web development consultant for over a decade, I discovered two problems:
- Business owners with great services and ideas struggle to connect with ideal customers and clients effectively.
- Unqualified marketers are taking advantage of business owners through outright fraud and outdated tactics.
So, I created GetYouBooked.com as a part of my new company; Tech Guys Fix Marketing, LLC. This is the only place where freelancers, entrepreneurs, and business owners can get expert video marketing help so they can crack YouTube's advertising code to get clients and customers on-demand - PROFITABLY!
