The reason you are not successful…
Summary
- Embrace doing "the boring work" to succeed; tasks like prospecting, posting content, and creating ad variations might feel repetitive, but they're essential.
- Be aggressive with your work ethic; sometimes sheer volume of activity trumps nuanced skill, especially when starting out.
- If you want more business, focus on the four key activities: reaching out to contacts, posting to known audiences, reaching individuals who don't know you, and advertising.
- The formula for success is volume times skill times duration (V x S x D); the more you do, the better you get, and the better results you achieve over time.
- Commit to extraordinary volume initially to compensate for lower skill and lack of compounded time, ensuring faster learning and progress.
- Avoid underestimating the work volume required for success; what may seem excessive may be just the baseline effort needed.
- Quality trumps quantity, but the combination of quality and high quantity reigns supreme for exceptional outcomes.
- Be willing to redo work for better quality; the effort improves skill, even if volume remains constant, leading to better results.
- Understand the exponential rewards of extra effort; slight increases in effort can result in massively disproportionate positive outcomes.
- Commit to understanding the true nature of work, putting in the necessary repetitions to refine skills and produce high-quality results.
- Recognize that often, more effort is required than initially believed; a lack of results usually points to a lack of sufficient effort rather than the medium used.

How To Take Action
I would suggest embracing the less exciting parts of your work because they really matter. Start by prospecting, even if it feels tedious. Make it a point to reach out to a certain number of contacts every day. And yes, it can be boring, but it's essential.
A good way of doing this is to be aggressive with the effort you put in. Sometimes, just doing more can beat being perfect, especially when you're just starting. Remember, reach out to people you know, post to your audience, contact strangers, and advertise. These four things will bring in more business.
I would say focus on the formula: volume times skill times duration (V x S x D). Start with high volume to make up for less skill and less time. The more you do something, the better you'll get, and the better results you'll see over time.
Here is what you should do right now: avoid underestimating the amount of work needed for success. What feels like a lot might be just the beginning. Make sure you also redo work if you need to, for better quality. It will help you improve your skill.
Understand that putting in extra effort can lead to huge rewards. Even small increases in effort can lead to much better outcomes. And finally, recognize that you probably need to do more than you think. If results aren't coming, it's usually because the effort isn't enough, not because the method is wrong.
By working hard on the right things and being okay with doing 'boring' tasks, you'll set yourself up for success. Stay consistent, do more, and you will learn and grow faster.
