"If you’re asked something 4 or 5 times:
- Write an article on it
- Record a podcast episode about it
Create something you can share repeatedly for people."
-@justingordon212
"A simple way to improve your success of cold outreach:
Follow up.
People are busy, they miss things, and you're leaving a lot of potential on the table if you don't follow up."
-@justingordon212
"If you don’t ask, the answer is always no.
That’s for:
- Startup funding
- Getting a raise
- Having someone join your team
- Podcast guests
- Finding a life partner
- Making a sale
Getting past that fear of rejection comes with some amazing outcomes."
-@justingordon212
"Everyone should have the opportunity to angel invest."
