Your First Thousand Clients with Mitch Russo

You’re listening to Your First Thousand Clients Podcast - Special Episode 0. Here’s where I explain what I’m doing and why you should be interested enough to download and listen to these episodes. This is Mitch Russo, and I’m speaking to you from the worldwide headquarters of Mindful Guidance, LLC in Marlborough Massachusetts. So with a name like Your First Thousand Clients, it’s probably not hard to figure out what this podcast is all about. It’s actually about people. It’s about success, and it’s also about experience and wisdom. The wisdom gained while on the path to building a solid business, figuring out how to make a profit and how to run a company. I chose the title and the goal of this podcast because by the time you reach around a thousand clients, you actually are a real business. So many of us have started a business, made a few bucks, left it in limbo and tried something else. And then some of us had started a business, worked like a dog to get it going, and about six months to a year later, we get lucky, if you know what I mean. And we witnessed the birth of something wonderful, and if you’ve already done this, you’ve reached a certain level of success you have become someone who has mastered something significant about life, about love, about spirit, and certainly about business. So in each episode, we will challenge out guest to untangle their past and pinpoint the moment when they had that one life-changing realization that led them become who they are today and exactly how they closed their first one thousand clients. It’s a show about strategy, about tactics, about hustle, about grit, about luck, and about determination. But this show is also about you. Are you struggling to hit that thousand client landmark? Do you wish sometimes you could easily access the exact steps to take from those who’ve already done it? That’s what this is all about.  It’s about helping my listeners by extracting the wisdom that many entrepreneurs have acquired by getting to that magic milestone of one thousand clients.  Yes, that’s mastery, and to me, mastery is wisdom applied to life. And since we all have a different story to tell, about what we have developed mastery in what we do, I decided to ask some pretty amazing people about how they happen to find themselves on top of their own world just for your benefit. In my own life, I dropped out of college and I wasn’t quite sure really what I was going to do. But at the age of 27, I had already bought several apartment buildings and started a software company. I get my first thousand clients about a year into my business, and the second and third thousand came months and then weeks later. That’s how it goes sometimes—you make that quantum leap, and then everything starts to get clear. You get focused and you become a better person as you can now see your future, clear as day. It seems as if I am not alone in these humble beginnings. Many of the amazing successful people you’ll hear from on the show never finished college, and some went down some pretty dark paths, before they too emerged by finding that spark which ignited their lives and allowed them to catch fire and blaze brightly. You’re going to love the stories, the lessons, and the wisdom imparted to you when we listen in as I extract the accelerators from their experience and give them to you. I’ve crafted a set of questions, a map actually, that helps me get my clients to articulate that wisdom so you can shortcut your own learning cycle. I know that if I had access to podcasts when I was starting out, I would have searched for one just like this, so I could learn as much as possible about success and life, so that I could have reached my first thousand clients more quickly than I did.   So why should you listen to this show? Because it will be different for two reasons:   First – because I’m kind of an example and I’ve done it several times in my own life, and; Second – There’s no better way to learn than ask others about their mistakes so we don’t have to repeat them.   I want to share those magical, transformative moments with you and learn as much as I can, as well. By the way, I have access to some pretty amazing people. I work intimately with Tony Robbins as the CEO of one of his companies Business Breakthrough International.  And besides Tony, who I promise to invite on the show, I travel the net circle of success and affluence for many years. If you’re curious about living a masterful life, about becoming more than you are today, about being a better person and living life as effortlessly as possible, then you’re in the right place. But remember: getting to your first thousand clients is the goal of the show, so you can move onward and upward from there. But wait, a minute—if this is episode 0, do I have to listen to them in order? Well, the answer is no. You can read a synopsis of every episode, see who is telling their story, and if you’re at all interested, come in for a listen. However, as you might expect, wisdom is kind of addictive, and I found that wisdom builds exponentially, so you never know when one single idea may spark an avalanche of creative thought and start your journey into a whole new and unique direction.  Come visit the website where you can see all the episodes listed and subscribe to Your First Thousand Clients podcast with Mitch Russo on Apple iTunes, as well. Some of you who know me are familiar with my story, but for those who don’t, allow me a quick recap: I was born in Brooklyn, New York and I grew up loving with the Dodgers before they moved to California, then I had no choice but to try and like the Yankees. My dad hated the Yankees. Good things I moved to Boston at the age of 25, and I’ve been here ever since. I did spend 4 years in Dallas, Texas, when I sold my software company called Timeslips Corporation to Sage PLC, but I’ll get in to that later.   So come for a listen. I know you’ll enjoy the conversation, and please be sure to like, share and subscribe if this resonates with you. Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!
