First Client Jitters

As time goes on, you look and see how far you've come since starting. A fresh, lil' ol' noob in the space of business and running something that is service based wondering if there are people out there that will even pay for the service you are trying to provide. With my business only being 3 weeks old now, I find myself, even this early on, reflecting a lot on these things.

You don't need to be an expert to see that people will pay for just about anything. People pay for subscriptions to go watch movies at a movie theatre. With that being said, I reckon they'll pay for a service that will seriously benefit them.

They just have to see the value in whatever it is you're trying to sell them.

That's what I personally deployed into this business. I understood before I had even started, that from the get-go I won't be making any money at all because why would someone pay ME for a service or product when I have zero trust or share in the market? Should I get some money for my service, I will reinvest it right back into growing. So might as well make it free and make that free offer so appetizing that the client (or whoever you're offering it to) will feel silly NOT to take that offer so you can get your foot in the door and start showing people your value.

That's how I landed my first paying client.

I offered the service for free, went out and did an amazing job with their yard, and they immediately saw the value in the service I was providing and immediately wanted to sign-up.

Despite this being my one and only paying client at the moment, I proved to myself that I can start a business and charge for my services, no matter how little. I feel that in my personal journey, this has been the toughest part: Starting and actually proving to MYSELF that there are people out there that will pay me to do this. I now just need to find them.

Although I was excited to get this client onboard, I felt a sense of relief. I felt that I was right.

That feeling of finally putting my knowledge to work and seeing it payoff even in the smallest of ways has done a LOT for my drive moving forward and I am excited to take this to new heights.
