Hey there Everyone,

Ever sat their watching those advertorials on television – you know those ones that usually take place late at night when you should be in bed. Most of them to do with weight loss [I swear they know I am sitting there with a packet of biscuits watching telly] – Have you ever picked up the phone and ordered what they are selling? I have a secret – I have … I am a stupid, stupid man.

It kind of got me thinking about how people do this type of thing a lot in the startup world. It is possible these days to get quick fixes for social media followers, sales leads and a host of other things that you need completed in your business. Quite often these things end up being more trouble than they are worth – just like the weight loss pills. Why?

Because they allow you to avoid forming a habit and developing a skill. For example if I used a service to gain 10,000 followers on  facebook – I completely void the opportunity to do the hard yards and attract quality and engaged and in the process learn the art of social media marketing -a skill I NEED if I want to Succeed.

Don’t Cheat People – Learn!

Mat really wanted to be an actor, when he was told that he was too fat for the part of the Red Ranger in an upcoming series of Power Rangers, he went to uni to become a counsellor, then he got shitty listening to people talk about their problems all day. So he started hanging around with entrepreneurs who solve problems. He liked them so much he started a website about them. Follow Mat on Twitter @matbeeche

    Very timely advice Mat, thanks for a great video. Outsourcing while in the startup phase is costly as well, so getting down in the trenches will pay dividends.
