Jordan is on the road and in today’s episode Brian is joined by Justin McGill.  In December 2014 Justin took on a challenge to launch a business in 24 hours and from that, LeadFuze, an email prospecting and lead generation service was born.  Justin also co-hosts the Zero to Scale podcast about bootstrapping startups to $20k a month and beyond, and also documents Justin’s journey with LeadFuze.

Justin talks about the importance of setting public goals.  When he launched his current endeavor he set a goal of $1,000/mo in recurring revenue within 30 days.  The first two weeks which hit over the Christmas holiday were slow, but he achieved his goal and currently LeadFuze has grown to $18,000/mo.

Brian and Justin discuss the importance of having a visible public goal for your business as a way to motivate yourself and identify a success method with a revenue number and a deadline to reach it.  Additionally, being transparent holds you accountable.

Justin also discusses:

• His background and how he drew on that to start LeadFuze
• How he applied what he knew from a marketing perspective to his own business.
• How a “done for you” concept in a software product is a win.
• Why his involvement in entrepreneurship communities is important to him and those he interacts with and the value of having conversations with like-minded people.
• How his podcast has helped his business.
