His family have recently. Welcomed. A new baby into the world with each new week is workload was beginning to get lighter and lighter as a full time recruited for pharmaceutical companies. It was allocated.

Possibility to find employees for the most difficult to your jobs. Essentially, he was a talent scout for the pharmaceutical industry around that time, many of the biggest names and pharmacy all seem to stop hiring within the period of a few months since Alex was paid on commission. This meant that his income took the major hit a without growing family. To support the timing. Couldn't have been worse, you could say it was a tough pills. Weiler. Although he was dressed, he knew that failure wasn't an option. He began to read books about entrepreneurship and purpose and through, reading he realized he had been operating on autopilot for years. He had only been focusing on short term goals, and he wanted to learn to think further out Alex wasn't sure that he wanted to be a full blown entrepreneur, but a site or something like a bad idea. In fact, it sounded necessary, but the only problem was he didn't know what kind he would start

He began to figure out what he wanted from this business first wrought how to be based around something that he cared about. At least a little pet didn't need to be a full on passion project, but he also didn't want to feel totally apathetic about the topic. Second, it had to be cheap to start and operate. His goal was to make money not spend it with this His purse attempted actually creating a business. He wasn't going to take a risk, finally had to make sure to fit his sight hustle into his life, not the other way around here that young family and the full time job. So it every day. Business would need to be on knights and weekends. Alex aimed to spend anywhere from. Five to ten hours a week on his hustle, no more. With these values in mind, an idea was beginning to form it wasn't exactly original, but he felt confident in his ability to stand out. He was going to start a resume building business as a recruiter. He looked Erasmus all day. He saw that even the most highly paid, well educated professionals, struggled to create recipes that were compelling and attractive, and these were people in the medical field with six bigger incomes. Sometimes

pharmaceutical writers had recipes, riddled with grammatical errors and inconsistent formatting, but Alex knew he could help he understood The ins and outs are presently writing. He knew what attracted where's and what push them away. After all, it was his fortune job to hire people to start. He did some research on linked to see what has competition was charging many of them offered package's any one hundred two hundred dollar range and some of them offered larger package's around five dollars Alex But his service to be accessible so once again he turned linked in he created a multiple choice survey that basically said hey for anybody out there who would be open to arrest may service. What would you consider to be a reasonable price range? He gave five different options and hope that at least a small percentage of his roughly eighteenth house connections would find the time to share their opinions. There were some outliers. You thought that paying anything over fifty dollars was criminal and somewhere the sharp five hours or more to take the task of their already for plates, but for the most part he does.

I've heard that his initial thoughts were right on the money, the vast majority of his connections. That is one hundred to two hundred dollar range provided the most value. The right on the wall was Crystal clear and in twelve point times, new Roman. He would call his new business recruiter. Written Alex, made a website using weakly and focused on offering a few different options option one a professionally written resume four hundred Seventy nine dollars option to a profession and resume Anna linked in profile, complete with keyword optimization for tuna, nine dollars option three April finally written resume that linked in profile, customize cover letter, template and customize. Thank you. Let her temple For three hundred and ninety nine dollars to he's got his range, but a hundred eighty dollars up to four hundred dollars, and then he goes out to market. Despite focusing the book of his efforts on those eighteen thousand, Linkedin connections at First Alex had a hard time sewing, arrest. You didn't have any examples of resonate he had created on his website, so his potential customers didn't feel confident in spending two hundred dollars. Is this this time

on Alex offered to redo one of his friends recipes for free exchange. For being how to use it as a sample after that business tried to pick up he says that he now averages roughly eight to nine clients a month and brings in an extra fifteen hundred dollars again using a scale that he already hat, because he chose aside us closely. Aligned with his career Alex, went from India to lie a little over a month. Not only that, but could be confident in the service he was providing from that very Resume he knew that he had made a phenomenal and product recruiter written didn't. Make him money? It was also a source of a Alex left every client, knowing that he had truly help them. Finally choosing to basis inside us around his full time. Job allowed him to sharpen his skills further. Now he can dive her into the miniscule. Details of the resignation sift through work, buses make connections with site huh so that he can utilise as a recruiter. It's a window. That is allowed him to diversify income. Even as the industry returned his strength, he can extra money month after month. Doing something he's good at and already in the mind set to work on. Failure was

an option. So he chose this route instead This is a very practical servants, always love services. That are, super specific, and you can say: ok, this person's going to exchange this amount of money and here's what we're going to receive and return. It can often be much or to sell this kind of service than something that is a bit more. Generic like career coaching, for example, career coaching business strategy, life, coaching all that kind of stuff. It's really nebulous, so to be able to say here is a product. You gonna pay this moment to give you this deliverable. It just makes life so much easier if it produces the decision process for anyone who is a potential client and then to find those clients Alex went to the people he knew he was a recruiter. He was profession at using linked in Iraqi, accumulate, something like eighteen thousand connections over the earth, which is remarkable in song think I have been using linked in profound, probably a decade or so and I think I have around fifteen thousand connections so he's dead

I got a wide basic people there and then he thought carefully about the best possible pricing. He created three package options, which is always a good idea, give people a chance to to purchase a package or a bundle and up the sample resonates that people would have an idea of the value they would receive their two hundred dollars or whenever package they paid for so the result speak for themselves. It's not aside us, where he's gonna get rich but to be able to earn an extra fifteen hundred dollars a month in a spare time again doing something he's already in the mind set to work on for him. It's a big went, and I know that I think a lot of our listeners are hoping to create as well. So let this be a model to you. Be a source of inspiration. Perhaps I hope you'll also turn it into something practical intangible. That's my encouragement for you today, thanks so much for listening.
