Hey! So later today I'm gonna be jumping on a Webinar to explain the full system we've been using to...
You can register for that here if you haven't yet. But I wanted to take a second to talk about something I see a lot of people get wrong. A HUGE part of this system is to launch something small and unthreatening to identify the "nuyers". Generally speaking, people who buy once, will buy again. And so focusing on them helps you cut out a lot of the noise from people who will never buy. BUT... This is not where you start. Where do you start? With your primary, high cost offer. And here's why. Essentially you're trying to help your audience achieve one major goal, right? Could be something like...
... or whatever. You start by selling the entire, high-touch service to your audience. Why? Cause it proves the desire for the thing that's actually going to make money. And you need that, cause if the main offer won't work, there's no point in attracing leads for it. Once you've locked in that offer, you work backwards toward the front of the system. You take a small part of the major offer and break it off. You form that into something that will stand on it's own to attract people who have a desire and need for the main offer. This creates a direct path from how you attract people to how you sell them the main offer. I'll explain a little more about this on the webinar later today. If you want to join us, here's the link.

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...
