The art of hustle
Syed shares some great insights for those of us looking to land that next opportunity.
“It’s not rocket science, just go out and do it.”
He once called Robert Scoble’s phone to talk about his WordPress site. Shocked that Robert actually picked up the phone, but it worked!
I’ve talked about not attending a WordCamp to find your next client and this rings true for Syed as well. Spend time where your clients are and not just networking for the sake of networking. Don’t be afraid to approach folks and be approachable at the same time.
The OptinMonster SaaS app & giveaway!
When we recorded this, his SaaS app OptinMonster was right around the corner.
