Forests and trees


You ever get that feeling you're missing something obvious in your biz?

That there's a simple fix, tweak, or change that can turn an average approach into something pretty damn awesome?

Happens to us all.

Here's the thing.

When I started the GM+ Community I was toying with the idea of making it an "expert-led" community.

Putting myself at the top and positioning the whole thing around "join this and I'll fix your business".

But I always wanted more of a collaborative area and community there.

Not just because there are gonna be some things I can't help with, but also because I need help as well.

I don't care who you are, sometimes you're so deep in doing the thing you can't see the forest for the trees.

And sometimes, all it takes is for someone else to say "have you tried this" to unlock that next level of growth.

Case in point.

I just sat and watched a ~12-minute critique a GM+ Member did of a sales page I've put together.

I'd been so busy trying to "tweak" the page I missed a couple of really obvious and simple fixes that should help get better results.

But, thanks to this ~12-minute video I've got a couple of things I can quickly address and test to see what works.

This is what the community should be.

A place where anyone can come in and get feedback from people with skin in the game to help them improve their assets and systems.

So, if you're ever feeling like there's an obvious fix you can't see cause you're too far into the weeds, try asking someone you know for their take.

Or, join GM+ and join in the feedback sessions to quickly improve your biz.

Check out GM+ now

Right, I'm off to record a video with some feedback for someone else in the community now.

A little while back, my downspout from our roof terrace was blocked. I'd look out of the window and see the hoppers filling with water, which then spilled all over the side of the house. Obviously, not ideal, but I could easily fix this myself... or at least I thought it was. I grabbed a drain snake and got to work after an hour or so of rattling that snake around, I patted myself on the back for a job well done. Yet when the next rain came, it overflowed again. Turns out there were more...

Yo! So I'm flirting with the idea of low-ticket done-for-you services. I've seen a couple of people shift this way and I want to test it. I mean, I've got the templates, systems, and proof to make this work. I just need a handful of people (I'm thinking 3-5) to help me work out the kinks. If you're up for it, hit reply and let me know. If you want more info, here's the detail. I'm of the opinion low-ticket offers will move on from the common... Info-based courses Fill-in-the-blank templates...

Yo! Was chatting to a GM+ member on Friday and we landed on the concepts of revenue growth. Specifically what the biggest brands out there do to hit ever greater profit. I wanted to share what we discussed here with you. Mainly because there's a lack of focus on this in the real world. Most people are still focusing on things like... New client acquisition Vanity metrics of likes, shares, comments etc Revenue instead of profit All of the above can be useful, but they're not the focus - or at...
