A second set of eyes 👀

Published over 1 year ago • 1 min read

It's amazing what a difference a fresh set of eyes can make.

A couple of days back, a mate wanted to run through their offer with me.

They knew something was wrong, but couldn't put their finger on why it wasn't working.

We jumped on a call and within 15 minutes, we'd identified the likely cause and formulated a quick and dirty plan to overcome it.

They set off with some new info, implemented the changes, and - so far - things are looking up.

It's amazing how obvious errors you've failed to see can be easily spotted by a fresh set of eyes.

It made me wonder why I no longer offer my auditing services as an offer.

I used to audit all sorts of things from sales pages and emails to offer stacks and growth strategy.

And they always got great results.

Not because I'm a business master or anything, it;s really becuase there are easy fixes most people overlook cause they can't see the forest for the trees.

So, I decided to bring them back within the GM+ Community.

Every 2 weeks I'm putting aside a couple of hours to audit member's assets and/or srategy.

I'm planning on doing the first batch of these tomorrow.

So, if you have...

... an asset like a sales page or ads...

... a strategy you're not sure about...

... an offer you think needs refinining...

... issues with the economics of your offers...

Jump into the GM+ Community and drop what you want me to look through in the new thread there.

Tomorrow, I'll be going through responses and recording 10-30 minutes of video feedback for each one.

Speak soon,

Picture this... You've identified the problem in your business. Where things break down and money is being lost. You analyse, design the fix, and set everyone on the path to implementing that fix. Time to pop the champaign right? Nope. After you've built that awesome fix, you see... nothing. No improvements, no meaningful changes, no new sales. And you're back to square one. It's a problem I see a lot. People fixing the symptom, but completely missing the cause. here's what I mean. I worked...

If we were to sit down and go through all the things I've done right in my career, and then all the things I've done wrong... ... the time split would be like a 10/90 split. I've failed so much more than succeeded over the years. They're good teaching moments. But, one of the more dangerous things in business isn’t choosing the wrong tactic. It’s committing to it. Once you’ve got buy-in from yourself or your team, you want it to work. So you keep pushing it longer than you should. Case in...

A big name marketer shared the results of a study he did last week on how brands are marketing in 2026. Long story short, most of them are... Cutting ad spend Cutting content/online PR Removing agencies ... all because the lead quality is trash. It went on to explain how people are moving back to in-person marketing and the established methods are dying off. Which ain't exactly true. Look, brands are cutting spend. And yeah, I agree that in-person stuff - or at least non AI stuff - is gonna...
