The Insider's Edge

Stop selling your skills... no one is interested.

Up till now, you've probably been trying to sell your proficiency in one skill or another.

Coding, copywriting, investment banking...

These are good, but why are they keeping you underpaid?

Most people can't concretely appreciate roles they've never been in.

So when you put a price on a raw skill (especially non-techy ones), they're bound to wonder why it's so high.

Let's say you are a business owner trying to make more profit.

If I came to you selling "coding" as a reason to hire me, with an N500,000 price tag, how would you feel?

You'd probably see me as another expensive liability.

But if I told you that I will increase your revenue by 20% by building a high-converting website which your customers love to use and share...

Suddenly, I'm not an expense anymore... I'm an investment.

Now you have something concrete to work with that actually matters to YOU.

So quit selling your skills and start selling your solutions.

Quick action for you today:

Rewrite your bio right now. Change it from "I do [Skill]" to "I help [specific client] achieve [desired result]." Reply to this email with your new version and I’ll give you my feedback.

If you're tired at this point, you can stop here.

But I have a quick thought for those who care to see.

What’s On My Mind

Why do we treat our careers like a restaurant where we refuse to order?

We read the menu, decide exactly what we want, and then sit in silence, hoping the universe, our boss, or our clients will somehow read our minds and just bring it to us.

Then we get mad when we only get served bread and water.

Your hard work does not speak for itself; it just shows people you are busy.

If you want the premium outcome, you have to open your mouth and place the order.

Now, tell your neighbour:

Better to hear no than live to regret never asking.

Andddd, it's a 🥙.

Found this valuable? I'd love to know what stood out to you.

See you at the next one 👋
