Robin shares what he learned from building a successful agency; he emphasizes the need for a scientific approach to business and understanding why clients need your services. Covered in this episode: How courage is about taking action towards achieving goals, despite the fear of potential consequences. Fear of rejection and fear of failure are common barriers to taking the first step in business. Recognising that the worst outcomes in business are not life-threatening—either not making enough money or looking less successful—can help overcome the fear of rejection and failure. Saying no to unfit clients and making necessary changes are normal challenges for established businesses, which actually lead to growth. Increasing prices can be a courageous decision that leads to higher profitability and better clients. The value of learning through input and repetition for success.
