Your first 7 days: a checklist

Getting started4 minute readbeginner

What to actually do in your first week, in order. Print it and tick the boxes.

Day 1 — Decide

  • Choose one route and write it in one sentence
  • Write down the hours per week you will give it, and put them in your calendar as appointments

Day 2 — Learn the minimum

  • Find the three best free resources for your route and read only those
  • Write one page of notes on how people in this route actually get paid

Day 3 — Build proof

  • Produce one small sample or demo, even if nobody asked for it
  • Ask one honest person to criticise it

Day 4 — Prepare how you will be reached

  • Set up a professional email address
  • Put your offer in one paragraph: who you help, what they get, what it costs

Day 5 — Find buyers

  • Build a list of twenty real prospects
  • Note one true observation about each

Day 6 — Contact ten

  • Send ten short, specific messages, one per prospect
  • Do not use one copy-pasted message for all of them

Day 7 — Review and repeat

  • Record what happened and what you would change
  • Send the next ten messages
  • Ask your coach to adjust the plan based on what you found

What day 7 usually looks like

Most likely: no replies yet, and that is normal. What matters is that by the end of the week you have a list, an offer, and something to show. Those three things are what every later success is built on.
