When I first started Snap and Spec, which is my software company, I remember that I used to make cold calls to sell our software to property management companies. And it was so painful for me to do when I started out that I had to go grab four beers out of the fridge before I could muster up the courage to make the calls. So what I've found the most powerful way to combat this fair as a start out entrepreneur and early stage business owner is to make revenue generating activities habits.

When you're starting out as an entrepreneur or early-stage business owner NOTHING is as important as sales. Without sales you don't have customers, without customers you don't have revenue and without revenue, any business will quickly die. There's no argument that sales are mission-critical to the early-stage business, so why do we find it so hard to do?
