Josh Forti shares his journey as an entrepreneur and how he discovered the Golden Mic Method. He discusses the importance of focusing on principles and proven marketing and sales techniques… rather than chasing after new and flashy tactics.  The Golden Mic Method is a principle-based approach to sales that utilizes a podcast as a platform to reach and attract high-paying clients. He also highlights the importance of making the podcast about the guests and their ideas, rather than using it as a platform to pitch his services.  The Golden Mike Method focuses on building a platform that attracts wealthy clients and creates powerful relationships. By focusing on high-quality conversations and building a platform that amplifies the guest, entrepreneurs can attract wealthy individuals who are willing to invest in their services.  Selling to wealthy clients is easier and allows for higher margins, providing financial stability and the ability to deliver exceptional results. The Golden Mike Method is a choice to work in a world of wealth and abundance ____________________ Connect With Josh Forti On All Platforms🔥 www.joshforti.com
