35. Why Some Copywriters Fail
Build Your Copywriting Business
07/14/21 • 24 min
The reason why some copywriters fail isn't because of any inherent characteristic. Usually copywriters who "fail" fall into one of two camps: they don't have training or a system for landing clients, or they have training, but are afraid of failure.
If you fall into the first camp, you'll want to first get training. If you fall into the second camp, you'll want to listen to today's episode. Nicki and Kate walk through what you can do to move past "fear of failure" as a roadblock. First step? Knowing "failure" is a bit of a misnomer. There is quitting, but as long as you're continuing to take action, then there's no such thing as "failure."
