Episode 169: Get our no-fluff training on how to build a profitable online business: https://app.digitaltrailblazer.com/register-launch-scale

Many online business owners struggle with inconsistent lead generation and make costly mistakes that either cause their businesses to fail or significantly slow their growth. Without a steady flow of qualified prospects, entrepreneurs find themselves constantly stressed about where their next client will come from, often wasting time and money on ineffective marketing strategies.

In this episode, Jake Smolarek teaches us how to survive long-term as an entrepreneur by avoiding common pitfalls that derail most businesses. He shares why delegation should start from day one, explains how to leverage your existing network for free lead generation before investing in paid advertising, and reveals the critical importance of focusing on money-generating activities rather than perfectionist tasks that don't directly impact revenue.

About Jake Smolarek: Jake is a high-performance business coach with over 20 years of entrepreneurial experience. He helps ambitious founders, executives, and professionals scale their businesses, build mental toughness, and create meaningful success. Known for his no-BS coaching style, Jake’s signature frameworks, like Vision GPS, No 0% Days, and the 10–80–10 Rule, have transformed the way his clients think, lead, and win. Originally from Poland, he built his life from scratch in the UK and now shares hard-earned lessons through coaching, speaking, and podcast appearances.
