The cost of doing nothing


Most people assume staying where they are—waiting to make a decision—is the “safe” option.

It’s not.

In business, inaction is one of the most expensive choices you can make. Here's why...

  1. Luck surface area

I'm a big believer in luck surface area.

I think the concept of luck as this thing that just happens to you is BS.

However, if you take the time to put yourself in more situations, converse with more people, generate more eyeballs etc. the more likely something "lucky" is to happen.

A lot of folk aren't maximising their luck surface area because they're doing too little - waiting for the "perfect" opportunity to rear it's head.

It don't work like that.

You've gotta be active to increase the chance the "lucky" thing happens to you.

2. Easily missed opportunities

Every day, your business generates opportunities—potential leads, clients, and growth. But without the right systems in place, those opportunities slip through the cracks.

Think about it:

  • How many people have shown interest in your product or service but never bought because there wasn’t a re-engagement process?
  • How many sales could you have closed if you had a better way to identify serious buyers?
  • How much higher could your LTV be if you focused on re-engaging past buyers with new offers?

By doing nothing, you’re not “staying safe.” You’re actively leaving money on the table.

3. Lost Momentum
Success is like rolling a snowball down a hill—it builds as it moves.

Every time you hesitate, you lose momentum, and starting again gets harder.

Waiting only means you’ll have to work harder to regain the ground you’ve lost. So keep it moving.

The cost of doing nothing is high, but it’s also avoidable.

one of the easiest ways to keep things moving and know when to pounce on opportunities?

Here's a little something I tried back in December that increased CTR from promo emails up to 3X.

Long story short, a member has a great sales page conversion rate, but a lower-than-normal CTR from their promo emails. Here's what I recommended based on my little test last month.

A member in GM+ recently shared some wins from the $1 Product funnel they created and we've been helping with in the group. Here's the deets. It perfectly shows one of the key reasons I'm moving the vast majority of my own marketing to low-ticket offers, and why I advise you do the same. People who buy once will buy again. And that's super important. A lot of the focus in GM+ is on crafting a low-ticket offer that has good initial average order value (AoV). This is what unlocks low-risk ad...
