A Year of Cringe Solo Videos Just Landed Me a Client in 15 Minutes

I couldn't watch a full episode of my own solo videos for the first 50. Every second felt like cringe. This morning a client signed up for bookkeeping, accounting and tax on a monthly subscription after less than 15 minutes on a call, and when I asked how he found me, he said he saw one of my reels. He'd already compared three competitors. He chose me because he felt like he already knew me.

This episode is about what a year of putting yourself out there actually does for your business, why the first year or two will feel awful, and why I'm treating Taxifi and this podcast as a 10-year play.
