My Son Tried His First Oyster And It Wasn't Pretty!

My Son Tried His First Oyster And It Wasn’t Pretty!

Most of us never forget tasting our first oyster!

My son Tommy tried one for the first time on the weekend – as you can see it didn’t go down well, in fact, it didn’t go down at all.

A very special moment that I was lucky enough to share with my parents, and also capture as a photo!

Can you remember your first oyster?

That salty bitter taste reminded me of when I quit my 9-5 and THOUGHT I had achieved “freedom” by charging my client’s a fixed fee retainer.

I was especially bitter when I smashed it out of the park for my clients, only to learn I wasn’t going to get paid more because I had signed a contract that said the amount I earned was set in stone.

Grrrr…

Let’s not knock retainer contracts too much, it’s how a lot of us got a start, and quit our BOSS.

But… there is a *different* way.

One that rewards you when you perform.

If you would like to be rewarded based on performance (and learn to love the taste of the Pay Per Lead model), I have a brand new free guide out that explains the 5 step process one of my students we call “Agency Al” took, to replace his entire retainer agency income, with one PPL client. Enjoy!

I Hey, there, it's Dan Wardrope here from Flexxable.

A bit of a reflective piece for me today, actually.

I have just had a brilliant weekend with my family.

My parents were over from Australia and we went out for lunch yesterday with Mom and Dad and my wife and my two kids and we had seafood and my son, Tommy, is six years old.

He's turning seven in October and he tried his first ever oyster.

For those of you who have tried oysters for the first time, it's a complete shock to the system.

You don't love it, you spit it out, and we actually caught this moment on camera where I was able to capture the point where my dad fed, you know, my dad's 72 or something now, but we caught that magical moment where we're able to feed Tommy his a very first oyster and we've got the moment where his mouth was just screwed up and his eyes were screwed up and he was absolutely hating it. And you know, it got me thinking about, you know, the first time I kind of experienced pay per lead and the first time I got involved, it was not smooth sailing.

It was a moment in time where I was like, "Yeah, I'm not sure about like this.

I'm not sure if it's for me." And I had some experiences with clients where they didn't like the leads and they kept on turning off and then I'd go on to the next one and go on to the next one.

It's kind of like Tommy the first time he tried that oyster, you know, it wasn't really for him, but we know from experience that oysters are one of these delicacies that we love later on in life. And I guess the metaphor is that pay per lead and the way that we grow our agencies sometimes can be a little bit of a bad taste in the mouth, but it's about resilience and it's about trying new things and looking at new angles, especially if you are struggling with what you're doing and that's why I've put together a brand new guide.

It's called "Escape the Client Penitentiary" and it's about how one of the guys that has joined, I'm not allowed to share his name for secrecy and privacy purposes, but it's about his story about how he escaped clientele and fight his retainer clients, got his time back and became the boss of his clients rather than the other way around, where he could switch off clients anytime you wanted and clients can come back only when he wants and he's able to kind of dictate terms, he has one final one brand and his job is to only generate leads.
And this is the story of how he did that.

So I'm gonna send you this guide, it's free.
