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.

Yo, Years back I put 6 months of effort into building what I thought was a killer offer. This thing was... Based on real world results I had and could prove Comprised of what I helped my clients do Tested and proven But after the build, I've never had anything that was as hard to promote. It was like rolling a boulder uphill. Everything was harder than it should have been. I was getting hit with... ... CTR on my promo emails so low I thought there was a tracking issue... Sales levels that...

This week, I’ve talked a lot about offers. And if you’ve been paying attention, some of it might feel contradictory. ... On one hand, I’ve said the most powerful businesses aren’t reliant on you for delivery. ... On the other, I’ve said building something truly scalable from day one is expensive, risky, and unrealistic for most people. Both are true. Ideas like Zero to One, building something entirely new, can work. But they usually require serious capital, long runways, and a tolerance for...

Yesterday I talked about what a bad offer does to your business — and to you. Today, I want to flip that and talk about what insanely profitable offers actually have in common. Because they’re not clever. And they’re definitely not built around hustle. In fact, I'd argue that... Great offers don’t rely on you as the facilitator. If the results depend on your personal effort, time, or constant involvement, you’ll hit a ceiling fast. You can do well like that. I know guys pulling around 7-figs...
