You don’t need to be perfect to sell

I have a confession.

This morning, I spent five minutes staring at milk in my fridge because I forgot why I opened it.

Has this happened to you? When your mind just goes blank?

I bet it has.

This made me wonder, don't we do the same thing in business?

We sit there looking at our computer, knowing we should write something or make a sale, but we freeze up. We think too much. We wait for the perfect moment.

And nothing gets done.

Here's the simple truth: we get stuck because we try too hard to sound smart.

But customers don't care about that.

They just want to feel connected to you.

That's why I created Stupidpreneur, to show you that building a business isn't about being perfect.

It's about being real.

Maybe you've tried a few things: posted on social media, had a sale, and stared at your website hoping for magic.

But nothing's happening.

Want to know why? We play it too safe.

We avoid taking risks and spend too much time planning instead of doing.

We stop selling.

Not because we're working on other things.
No, we're just busy making everything "perfect" (like redesigning our website over and over).

Want to fix this? Here's how:

1. Focus on what your customer gets, not what you sell.

2. People don't buy your product - they buy better lives, more confidence, or solutions to their problems.

3. Don't wait for perfect - launch now and improve later. Let your customers help you make it better.

4. Try something new: package deals, quick-buy options, or easier ways to purchase.

5. Make it special - run a challenge, give something away, or share your story. People love being part of something.

6. Keep in touch - most people buy after you've talked to them more than once.

7. Be friendly and real. Say things like "Hey, need help deciding?"

Remember: When sales slow down, don't give up.

It's time to try something different.

Stop staring at the fridge, use what you have and get cooking!

Hit reply and tell me your "fridge moment" this week.
And hey — bonus points if it ends in a sale or a stupidly funny story. I'm all ears (and bad jokes).
