Transcript section:
[00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:05.600] What if your business had a 24-7 sales and marketing team without the overhead?
[00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:07.200] Here's why that matters.
[00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:10.800] 78% of leads go with the first responder.
[00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:16.400] The odds of qualifying a lead drop by 80% after 5 minutes.
[00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:20.560] Only 27% of leads are contacted by a sales rep.
[00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:26.560] 63% of companies take longer than an hour to respond to new inquiries.
[00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:30.560] And 50% of sales go to the vendor that responds first.
[00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:37.440] Businesses that use AI for lead response see a 67% increase in conversion rates.
[00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:47.040] AI-powered chat increases sales by 30%, and companies using AI also reduce customer support costs by 30%.
[00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:52.560] And automated follow-ups can boost lead engagement by 50% or more.
[00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:58.160] And that's why I built an AI automation agency called LeadLoops.pro.
[00:00:58.160 --> 00:01:12.160] LeadLoops texts new leads instantly, follows up after hours, reconnects old contacts, handles Google reviews, recovers abandoned carts, and even a voice bot that answers calls.
[00:01:12.160 --> 00:01:15.600] Basically, it's a tiny army that never sleeps.
[00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:19.280] You can learn more at leadloops.pro.
[00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:27.360] The other thing I want to tell you about is I'm now offering a free marketing report at getafreemarketingreport.com.
[00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:37.600] All you have to do is give me your business information and I check your online presence and send a detailed report in a day or two showing what's working and what to improve.
[00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:42.800] Again, that's at getafree marketingreport.com.
[00:01:42.800 --> 00:01:45.520] Welcome to the FrugalPreneur podcast.
[00:01:45.520 --> 00:01:46.880] I am your host, Sarah St.
[00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:47.600] John.
[00:01:47.600 --> 00:02:05.880] This episode is what I refer to as a showcase episode, where I feature a bootstrapped entrepreneur and they briefly share their tips, tricks, tactics, techniques, and tools that help them bootstrap their business and the successes and failures along the way.
[00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:16.520] My hope is that each of these showcase episodes will provide at least one valuable takeaway that you can implement right away in your own bootstrap business journey.
[00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:18.360] Now, on to the episode.
[00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:18.920] Hi, everyone.
[00:02:18.920 --> 00:02:21.960] I am Victor Doko, founder of CFV Advisory.
[00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:30.920] I've been studying wealth and finance for over 16 years and I've also spent the last 12 years helping clients navigate their financial journeys.
[00:02:30.920 --> 00:02:39.560] What really drove me to start my own firm was the desire for a little bit more control, not just over my future, but over how I serve clients.
[00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:47.240] Starting CFV Advisory allowed me to take a more personal, value-based approach to financial planning.
[00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:54.920] This is where I could really align my advice with what matters most to each individual or family I work with and also business owner.
[00:02:54.920 --> 00:03:07.080] It's not just about investments or retirement planning, but it's about creating clarity, building confidence, and helping people live more rewarding lives through better financial decisions.
[00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:23.000] That also led me to writing the book Seven Basic Wealth Strategies and also started the podcast Elevate Your Your Wealth, you know, to really help people get practical, straightforward strategies that can help create some lasting impact in their lives.
[00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:29.640] I really bootstrapped from the ground up, no outside funding, just my own savings and the CLAB plan.
[00:03:29.640 --> 00:03:31.880] You know, I was extremely lean to start.
[00:03:31.880 --> 00:03:40.600] I kept everything basic from my website to admin tools, and I didn't invest too much in an office space straight away.
[00:03:40.600 --> 00:03:46.400] I think the key was focusing on only what was really essential to deliver value to clients.
[00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.920] But even while I kept things lean, I had a clear vision for scaling.
[00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:51.200] I think that's very important.
[00:03:51.520 --> 00:04:02.960] That vision is crucial, but you have to be willing to go lean at first, really disciplined, but also know when and how to strategically beef up your operations as the business grows.
[00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:10.560] Tech to stay efficient, leaned into relationship building and reinvested in revenue back into areas that would drive long-term impact.
[00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:19.760] Bootstrapping for me wasn't just about cost cutting, it was about clarity focused and building a solid foundation I could scale with confidence.
[00:04:19.760 --> 00:04:26.880] CFV Advisory was building deep, trusted-based relationships with my clients and business partners.
[00:04:26.880 --> 00:04:40.320] Because I started lean and stayed very hands-on, I was able to really focus on providing personalized, high-impact financial advice that built a strong foundation, not just financially, but in terms of reputation and clients' loyalty.
[00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:49.280] Seeing clients achieve clarity, peace of mind around their money, and knowing I had a hand in that is incredibly fulfilling for me.
[00:04:49.280 --> 00:04:54.480] On the flip side, one of my biggest earlier failures was trying to do everything myself for too long.
[00:04:54.480 --> 00:05:00.720] I thought keeping costs down meant holding on to every task, from admin to marketing to client service.
[00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:04.000] Eventually, that created bottlenecks and slowed down growth.
[00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:13.120] The learned that being lean doesn't mean being overloaded, and knowing when to delegate or bring in support is key if you want to grow sustainably.
[00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:20.160] In short, my success came from focus and relationships, and my failure was holding on to tightly.
[00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:24.080] That really taught me the value of vision, discipline, and strategic growth.
[00:05:24.080 --> 00:05:42.360] When I bootstrapped CFE Advisory, I centered everything around three key principles: clarity focused and what the vision is you know first clarity i got really clear on the value i wanted to deliver and who i was serving that helped me avoid wasting time or money on things that didn't move the needle Second was focus.
[00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:44.040] You kept things lean and intentional.
[00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:49.160] I used simple, affordable tools like Google, Calendly, and Zoom meetings.
[00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:54.200] I didn't invest too much in an office space or expensive platforms early on.
[00:05:54.200 --> 00:05:58.760] I kept overload low and focused on what helped me serve clients efficiently.
[00:05:58.760 --> 00:06:00.040] And the third thing was vision.
[00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:04.920] You know, I always had a long-term picture of what I wanted the business to grow into.
[00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:15.720] That really helped me make better decisions in the short term, like reinvesting profits wisely and knowing when to scale up setting areas like branding and client experience.
[00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:23.160] I also use content like, you know, articles and also the book to build trust and attract clients without relying too much on paid ads.
[00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:28.520] And one key tactic, outsourcing or automated low-value tasks as soon as possible.
[00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:33.160] This really helps you save time and time is your most valuable asset when bootstrapping.
[00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:39.400] So those three, clarity, focus, and vision, were essential to growing CFV advisory sustainably and strategically.
[00:06:39.400 --> 00:06:43.240] So that's definitely what I will get people to focus on.
[00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:45.960] Thanks so much for listening and giving me this opportunity.
[00:06:45.960 --> 00:06:49.880] I truly believe that building wealth is about more than just money.
[00:06:49.880 --> 00:06:54.280] It's about aligning your finances with your values, your lifestyle, and your long-term vision.
[00:06:54.280 --> 00:06:57.000] Bootstrapping a business is actually a way of building wealth.
[00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:06.040] So whether you're just getting started or already on your journey, the most powerful thing you can do is take intentional steps, even small ones, towards financial clarity.
[00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:12.040] If today is back to my gears and you're looking to get more control over your financial future, I would love to support you.
[00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:20.560] You can grab a copy of my book, which is on Amazon, Seven Basic Wealth Strategies, which lays out a simple framework for building wealth with Corpus.
[00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:29.600] He also talks a bit about business cash flow, which I think is very important for business owners to really understand how to manage that.
[00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:35.840] And if you're curious about how to apply this strategy to your own life and business, feel free to reach out to me.
[00:07:35.840 --> 00:07:39.840] I'm always open to having meaningful conversations with people.
[00:07:39.840 --> 00:07:46.400] And I think the last thing is: remember: wealth is not just what you have, it's also how well it supports the life you want.
[00:07:46.400 --> 00:07:54.400] I hope you enjoyed that episode and were able to take away a valuable nugget of information that you can implement right away in your own business.

[00:01:45.520 --> 00:01:46.880] I am your host, Sarah St.
[00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:47.600] John.
[00:01:47.600 --> 00:02:05.880] This episode is what I refer to as a showcase episode, where I feature a bootstrapped entrepreneur and they briefly share their tips, tricks, tactics, techniques, and tools that help them bootstrap their business and the successes and failures along the way.

[00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:18.920] Hi, everyone.
[00:02:18.920 --> 00:02:21.960] I am Victor Doko, founder of CFV Advisory.
[00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:30.920] I've been studying wealth and finance for over 16 years and I've also spent the last 12 years helping clients navigate their financial journeys.
[00:02:30.920 --> 00:02:39.560] What really drove me to start my own firm was the desire for a little bit more control, not just over my future, but over how I serve clients.
[00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:47.240] Starting CFV Advisory allowed me to take a more personal, value-based approach to financial planning.
[00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:54.920] This is where I could really align my advice with what matters most to each individual or family I work with and also business owner.
[00:02:54.920 --> 00:03:07.080] It's not just about investments or retirement planning, but it's about creating clarity, building confidence, and helping people live more rewarding lives through better financial decisions.
[00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:23.000] That also led me to writing the book Seven Basic Wealth Strategies and also started the podcast Elevate Your Your Wealth, you know, to really help people get practical, straightforward strategies that can help create some lasting impact in their lives.
[00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:29.640] I really bootstrapped from the ground up, no outside funding, just my own savings and the CLAB plan.
[00:03:29.640 --> 00:03:31.880] You know, I was extremely lean to start.
[00:03:31.880 --> 00:03:40.600] I kept everything basic from my website to admin tools, and I didn't invest too much in an office space straight away.
[00:03:40.600 --> 00:03:46.400] I think the key was focusing on only what was really essential to deliver value to clients.
[00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.920] But even while I kept things lean, I had a clear vision for scaling.
[00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:51.200] I think that's very important.
[00:03:51.520 --> 00:04:02.960] That vision is crucial, but you have to be willing to go lean at first, really disciplined, but also know when and how to strategically beef up your operations as the business grows.
[00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:10.560] Tech to stay efficient, leaned into relationship building and reinvested in revenue back into areas that would drive long-term impact.
[00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:19.760] Bootstrapping for me wasn't just about cost cutting, it was about clarity focused and building a solid foundation I could scale with confidence.
[00:04:19.760 --> 00:04:26.880] CFV Advisory was building deep, trusted-based relationships with my clients and business partners.
[00:04:26.880 --> 00:04:40.320] Because I started lean and stayed very hands-on, I was able to really focus on providing personalized, high-impact financial advice that built a strong foundation, not just financially, but in terms of reputation and clients' loyalty.
[00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:49.280] Seeing clients achieve clarity, peace of mind around their money, and knowing I had a hand in that is incredibly fulfilling for me.
[00:04:49.280 --> 00:04:54.480] On the flip side, one of my biggest earlier failures was trying to do everything myself for too long.
[00:04:54.480 --> 00:05:00.720] I thought keeping costs down meant holding on to every task, from admin to marketing to client service.
[00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:04.000] Eventually, that created bottlenecks and slowed down growth.
[00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:13.120] The learned that being lean doesn't mean being overloaded, and knowing when to delegate or bring in support is key if you want to grow sustainably.
[00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:20.160] In short, my success came from focus and relationships, and my failure was holding on to tightly.
[00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:24.080] That really taught me the value of vision, discipline, and strategic growth.
[00:05:24.080 --> 00:05:42.360] When I bootstrapped CFE Advisory, I centered everything around three key principles: clarity focused and what the vision is you know first clarity i got really clear on the value i wanted to deliver and who i was serving that helped me avoid wasting time or money on things that didn't move the needle Second was focus.
[00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:44.040] You kept things lean and intentional.
[00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:49.160] I used simple, affordable tools like Google, Calendly, and Zoom meetings.
[00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:54.200] I didn't invest too much in an office space or expensive platforms early on.
[00:05:54.200 --> 00:05:58.760] I kept overload low and focused on what helped me serve clients efficiently.
[00:05:58.760 --> 00:06:00.040] And the third thing was vision.
[00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:04.920] You know, I always had a long-term picture of what I wanted the business to grow into.
[00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:15.720] That really helped me make better decisions in the short term, like reinvesting profits wisely and knowing when to scale up setting areas like branding and client experience.
[00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:23.160] I also use content like, you know, articles and also the book to build trust and attract clients without relying too much on paid ads.
[00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:28.520] And one key tactic, outsourcing or automated low-value tasks as soon as possible.
[00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:33.160] This really helps you save time and time is your most valuable asset when bootstrapping.
[00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:39.400] So those three, clarity, focus, and vision, were essential to growing CFV advisory sustainably and strategically.
[00:06:39.400 --> 00:06:43.240] So that's definitely what I will get people to focus on.
[00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:45.960] Thanks so much for listening and giving me this opportunity.
[00:06:45.960 --> 00:06:49.880] I truly believe that building wealth is about more than just money.
[00:06:49.880 --> 00:06:54.280] It's about aligning your finances with your values, your lifestyle, and your long-term vision.
[00:06:54.280 --> 00:06:57.000] Bootstrapping a business is actually a way of building wealth.
[00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:06.040] So whether you're just getting started or already on your journey, the most powerful thing you can do is take intentional steps, even small ones, towards financial clarity.
[00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:12.040] If today is back to my gears and you're looking to get more control over your financial future, I would love to support you.
[00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:20.560] You can grab a copy of my book, which is on Amazon, Seven Basic Wealth Strategies, which lays out a simple framework for building wealth with Corpus.
[00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:29.600] He also talks a bit about business cash flow, which I think is very important for business owners to really understand how to manage that.
[00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:35.840] And if you're curious about how to apply this strategy to your own life and business, feel free to reach out to me.
[00:07:35.840 --> 00:07:39.840] I'm always open to having meaningful conversations with people.
[00:07:39.840 --> 00:07:46.400] And I think the last thing is: remember: wealth is not just what you have, it's also how well it supports the life you want.
[00:07:46.400 --> 00:07:54.400] I hope you enjoyed that episode and were able to take away a valuable nugget of information that you can implement right away in your own business.

[00:08:02.400 --> 00:08:07.840] What if your business had a 24-7 sales and marketing team without the overhead?
[00:08:07.840 --> 00:08:13.040] Here's why that matters: 78% of leads go with the first responder.
[00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:18.640] The odds of qualifying a lead drop by 80% after five minutes.
[00:08:18.640 --> 00:08:22.800] Only 27% of leads are contacted by a sales rep.
[00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:28.800] 63% of companies take longer than an hour to respond to new inquiries.
[00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:32.800] And 50% of sales go to the vendor that responds first.
[00:08:32.800 --> 00:08:39.680] Businesses that use AI for lead response see a 67% increase in conversion rates.
[00:08:39.680 --> 00:08:43.600] AI-powered chat increases sales by 30%.
[00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:49.280] And companies using AI also reduce customer support costs by 30%.
[00:08:49.280 --> 00:08:54.800] And automated follow-ups can boost lead engagement by 50% or more.
[00:08:54.800 --> 00:09:00.000] And that's why I built an AI automation agency called LeadLoops.pro.
[00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:14.440] LeadLoops texts new leads instantly, follows up after hours, reconnects old contacts, handles Google reviews, recovers abandoned carts, and even a voice bot that answers calls.
[00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:17.880] Basically, it's a tiny army that never sleeps.
[00:09:17.880 --> 00:09:21.560] You can learn more at leadloops.pro.
