Today, we're going to talk about persistence in business because who gets 700 episodes? How many podcasts? I don't really know. I heard that the average podcast lasts eight episodes or seven episodes, so I've done 100 more times than the average. I'm a high achiever, right? So this is a little bit different from my normal fare of how to stuff. And this persistence and consistency is critically important because if you don't have persistence, all the cool techniques in the world that I teach you are not going to help you a bit.

We got Reuben Swartz here. He's the founder of mimiran.com. It's the fun CRM program for independent consultants who love serving clients but hate selling. And he's also the host and chief nerd. We love nerds and propeller heads and techno geeks on the Sales for Nerds podcast. Now, Reuben went from a background in computer science and software engineering to sales and marketing for big shot companies Fortune 500, Fortune 100. And while he was helping them, he was struggling with his own sales and marketing for his own firm. So his mission became to help other independent consultants make a much bigger dent in the universe and get more clients by using their talents to teach instead of market, and connect instead of network and help instead of sell.
