@Oscar Buendia, I have shared my story from stage a few times and the biggest thing I try to get across is that you have to commit to this for 6 months typically. Sure, there are people who will get a deal after a couple weeks but typically it takes a lot longer. It took me 4 months to put money in the bank. Can you imagine if I quit at month 2? You never know what could have been man, don't give up if you want to do it! I started all this right when my first son was born because I knew that I wanted the flexibility with a family. Deployments were not my future after having that first little boy!
Initially I set aside $30k for 6 months. That $5k per month included marketing, my assistants pay ($500/week so $2k a month of that budget), all the overhead / systems I was using like phones, CRM, websites I had setup, etc... So, my actual "marketing" spend each month was about $2,500 a month.
The key was consistently sending it out even when I wasn't making any return on it. I believed in the process and had a great support system in a mastermind I was in that helped me tweak things along the way and hold me accountable. That is where the rubber hits the road, someone not letting you quit when you want to or are considering it. Seeing other people successful that are just like you makes it easy to believe that you can be too! That's why I encourage people to go to these live event people hold, get around people doing more than you, see that it's possible for them so why not you. They are all just normal people...
