Mark Asquith's Rules For Those Just Starting Out

In today's episode of the Best Passive Income Model, Mark talks with Mark Asquith—host of Excellence Expected, the number one small business podcast out of the UK.

Excellence Expected is a way to share actual advice and inspirational initiatives borne out of the trials and tests he was faced with when he started and ran his businesses.

Mark is also the co-founder of an online podcasting platform, PodcastWebsites, which he runs with John Lee Dumas from Entrepreneur on Fire.

Mark delves into how he broke through the noise in the market and created his own noise to get traction and drive sign ups.

Three important factors are:

• Run test experiments.
• Build an avatar or profile of your ideal customer.
• Get out there, boots on the ground and talk to people!

If you talk to 10 people and ask them to talk to 10 people, you will grow and surpass expectations.

Listen in for all the details!
