Katie McManus shares why client acquisition takes longer than you expect. One client landed an $85,000 deal in three months; another signed a $24,000 client after nine months. If you're stuck, it might be time to invest in help instead of grinding alone.

This should be going faster. The fact that you're not getting clients or making money yet feels like proof that you're gonna fail. But here's the truth about starting a business where you're selling your expertise. It will never follow a perfect timeline. I've had clients who've landed $85,000 clients in the first three months of working with me, and I've also had clients who signed their first $24,000 client after nine months into the program. It can take a while to figure out your niche, what marketing realistically works for you and how to sell successfully. But once figure it out, you know it. So if you're struggling right now, do not give up. Do not give up on your dream of being a business owner. You absolutely can make an incredible income doing work that you love that also helps people. But you have to stick with it. And if you're really feeling stuck, then it might be time to invest in some help. Go ahead and read the caption for some ideas. Also. Hi, I'm Katie, your practical business coach. And new business owners work with me so that they can leave their corporate 9 to 5 and replace their 6 figure salary by doing work that they love that actually helps people.
