    How To Stop The "Feast Or Famine Cycle"

    How To Stop The "Feast Or Famine Cycle"

    Ever felt trapped in the feast-or-famine cycle as a freelancer? I've been there, and it's brutal. But what if I told you there's a way out?
    I just got back from Alex Hormozi’s amazing workshop in Vegas. Spending two days at Acquisition.com HQ with Alex, Leila, and their leadership team was nothing short of eye-opening.
    Surrounded by business owners of all types, from an 18-year-old with a $250K landscaping business to people bringing in $10M+, I soaked in anything and everything that's working in business today.
    My big takeaway?
    Hormozi and his team harped on one core principle – finding and fixing the root cause of business bottlenecks.
    And for 95% of freelancers, this boils down to one thing... lead generation.
    In our latest podcast episode, I break down Hormozi's method that helped scale businesses to millions.
    Don't let the feast-or-famine cycle continue for the rest of your life. Learn how to generate a steady stream of leads so you get to take control of your income.
    In this episode you’ll discover:

    What I learned from the Hormozi's retreat

    Why it's important to find and eliminate bottlenecks in your business

    The things holding your business back

    Using paid ads for your business

    Testing ads the way the Hormozi's do

    Why this is all worth the effort
