Gearing up for BF


We're in the run-up to the Black Friday / Cyber Monday weekend.

A huge opportunity for your biz as this is a month where people are gearing up and looking to buy.

Your job is to craft an offer that's a no brainer.

Something that provides enough value with a low enough threat for your customers to grab it without even thinking.

Here's the thing.

Don't wait until the BF/CM weekend to start your promos.

START NOW.

Here's what you need to do well over the BFCM weekend.

  1. A low cost offer (you can get help with this in the $1 Product Challenge)

Build something low-cost that's fully aligned with your primary money-making offer.

Launch to your existing audience and get it in front of your ICP who aren't yet in your audience.

Promo this over the next few weeks to build a list of hot buyers.

2. Your primary money-making offer

This is the high-ticket thing that covers your income needs.

Craft a new promo for this that highlights what a steal it is and why people want and need it.

Build it around the needs, desires, and problems the buyers you're attracting are facing.

Then, launch that a week or so before BF/CM all the way through to the end with the usual FOMO, close, etc elements.

By appealing to the buyers, you're not wasting time on the freebie seekers.

By launching low-cost to high-cost systems, you're creating good momentum with the offer stack.

By having a low-cost offer, you can cover costs for spend.

By having high-cost upsells, you're covering your money-making needs.

Not unreasonable to think you could easily add another $10k+ in this month alone.

So get to it.

Want help on the front-end stuff, grab the $1 Product Challenge here to build better acquisition systems.

Get it here.

Good luck!

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...

Yesterday I said this year only really changes if the offer does. Today, I want to be blunt about what happens when the offer isn’t right. This isn’t theory. I’ve personally dragged dying offers way longer than I should have, burning time, money, and energy trying to force something that wasn’t working. When you're in that place, the offer doens't just hurt your business. It leaks into everything else. Within the business, it usually looks like this... ... You’re always “working on...

Welcome to the first full work week of 2026. If you’re coming into the year unhappy with how 2025 finished, or you’re like me and want this year to be materially better, this matters. This is the time of year when everyone is... ... buying a new planner... mapping out their “path to success”... deciding which actions are finally going to turn their life around. But when you actually look at what people plan, it’s almost always too small to create real change. I’m already seeing posts about...
