START A DIGITAL MARKETING AGENCY | HOW TO FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT! | Swenktoday #119 – LEGALZOOM



How can you start a digital marketing agency? Or, grow your marketing agency faster? Here’s some great advice that was given to Steven Spielberg and it absolutely applies to our business too….

FAKE IT ‘TIL YOU MAKE IT!

That’s right. When Spielberg was a 20 year old up and comer, a big time experienced director gave him that same advice and I find it inspiring for entrepreneurs, too.

When you have no clue what you should be doing, don’t show it – people will lose confidence in you if you do. Your prospects, your clients and your team need you to at least “pretend” you know what you’re doing. A good leader doesn’t necessarily have all the answers but they’re willing to put in the hard work and hustle in order to find them.

Look at the bright side… Not knowing what to do will push you and give you the motivation to be creative in finding a solution.

How many times have you been in a situation where the answers are unclear? Fake it ’til you make it! Don’t let on that you’re unsure… Take a step back and try to be innovative with your solution.

When I owned my agency, I had a client tell me they wanted to become the biggest, best legal website in the world. I said “Sure! Let’s do it!” but honestly, I had no idea how to accomplish this….

I gave it tons of time, thought, hard work and patience. And guess what? That client is now known as LegalZoom. It took a lot of thinking, creativity and innovation o find the perfect solution for my client. They are now one of the worlds biggest online legal companies in the world.

Look, you don’t know everything and it’s OK. But if you give yourself the time and space to get creative with the answers, you’ll find your way… And, you’ll gain the trust and respect of the people who are counting on you!
