For those that are new to my channel I'm Jordan, founder of Island Web Design, I went from broke in my parents lounge to running a succesful web design & social media agency with over 100 clients and 3 full time employees in 1 year. Before, I built a succesful events promotion business at only 17 years old (I wasn't even old enough to go in my own events because they sold alcohol).
I have first hand experience building and marketing different businesses and if I knew all the things that I shared with you in this video back when I was 17 running those events, I would of been exactly where I am now years ago.
In this video I share everything I've learnt building my agency, landing clients, delivering for them, and keeping them, honestly this is the closest your ever going to get to someone doing it for you, if someone had told me all this, when I was 16 I would be a billionaire.
Now, one of the main keys to success is focus, and this video is over an hour long, so if you can't focus for a little over an hour, and take in everything I say to apply it to your own business, then that's probably why your not doing as well as you would hope.
This video was first called 100 tips, because that's what it was, 100 business, marketing and life tips to help you grow your business and excel in life, but we went way over 100 tips that I think the name we chose ended up being way more suitable.
