Key Takeaways:
1. Put Value on Your Worth
One of the hardest things for entrepreneurs to do is put value on their time. Before setting your prices, write down every single experience and qualification you have. Write down what you know and the time it took to gain that knowledge. Then think about how much that is worth, and it will be more than you think.
2. Connect Authentically with Your Audience
Darren began making connections on SnapChat. He also talks about accountability groups, and how seeing others on his social media feeds inspire him to put himself out there. Talking on SnapChat helped him learn how to communicate and think about what kind of content he wanted to put out.
Video is the best way to build rapport. Potential clients want to buy from people they feel like they know and trust. Darren tries to be real and authentic by showing his real life and including his daughter in Facebook Lives.
Darren’s outlook on the world is courage, compassion, and curiosity. He tries to be that person, and he wants to make the world a better place.
