5 skills I would master if I had to start a business from scratch again:
1. Coding
I barely need code to operate my agency.
In fact, the only code I do is to customize funnels.
But knowing how to code made me tech savvy.
Which led me to build my agency’s website and avoid spending $2k-$5k.

2. Lead Gen
I’d argue this is the single best skill anyone can have.
Every business needs new leads.
Every business needs new clients.
If you can’t land new business, you will eventually run out of business.

3. Design
I used to be a freelance designer.
Here are my two cents:
You don’t need to be skilled in photoshop.
But PLEASE have a basic understanding of how to use Canva or Figma.
It’s hard to live in the age of media, without the skill of producing media.

4. Email Marketing
Email is the OLDEST medium on the internet.
It won’t die soon.
You can’t be shadowbanned.
And it is the highest ROI medium.

5. Copywriting
- Emails
- Landing Pages
- Cold Outreach Messages
- Ads
- Website Copy
- Content
You need copy everywhere.
I'd argue it's worth spending a few hours learning the basics (seriously, do it.)
