@oliverbrocato yeah took me a long time to realize that leading with "ur messing up by doing XYZ" doesn't make people interested it fully just shuts people down/makes them feel bad
Best partnership proposals I've seen don't try to flex.
They do the opposite - act disarming on purpose:
✔ ask Qs they probably already know the answer to
✔ leave space for u to "teach" them something
✔ never posture or over-explain
✔ make u feel like ur insight unlocked their win
Half the time they're 10x sharper than they let on.
But they know coming in hot triggers defense mode.
Come in humble, a little underestimated, and people open doors.
Give u intros. Want to see u succeed.
No threat = no friction.
That closes more deals than looking impressive ever will.
was about to growth operate for a woman with 1m+ followers who currently makes ✨12k/month✨ coaching.
she could do 12k a day with her audience but has such bad limiting beliefs, and "i can do it all myself" energy she simply cannot be helped.
have to avoid these types
surprising how many influencers with 1m followers+ are complete doofuses.
zero business savvy.
huge ego + pride.
making 5-10k a month.
might be tempting to sign these clients but the pain of dealing with them is worse than the money you might make.
@apollonator3000@benhbader just ran this offer for a few months.
the peptide people have no money bc theyre spending $500-700 a month out of pocket on the drugs.
theyre also just looking for easy solutions.
still trying to figure out the best angle bc obviously the market is exploding
One day all of the fitness coaches will become fitness business coaches.
Then the fitness business coaches will go broke, because there’s no fitness coaches.
So then they’ll become fitness coaches again.
I don’t know when this will happen. But it is looming.
Rule #2: Use the right funnel.
Don’t get fancy.
Best funnel =
• Direct response ad
• VSL or mini webinar (1.0 = under $5K, 2.0 = $5K+ make money offer)
• Typeform + Calendly on the same page
• Zero opt-in page
• Confirmation page with 3 short videos + believable testimonials
Don’t split the app and calendar.
You’ll lose 50% of bookings instantly.
I’ve spent millions testing every possible way to produce leads:
• VSL
• Webinar
• DM funnel
Here’s EXACTLY how to generate 40–50 qualified sales calls per day (that actually close):
finished July with $117K in revenue
faceless bizopp info offer + 8 affiliates pushing it through meta ads
chargeback % isn’t that bad either
if you have any questions, feel free to ask me in the comments, ill help everyone.
fuck. it finally happened.
it's hard to admit this because of how sensitive of a subject it is...
but i have to be honest and come out and tell everyone that
im extremely locked in :/
it is nearly impossible to go back to getting a regular job after dipping your toes into entrepreneurship for 2 reasons.
you have no leverage at a job.
and without leverage, you are perpetually waiting for permission to make more money, and this crushes your soul.
Sorry boys but the only mentality worth having 24/7 is
I ALREADY WON.
A winning attitude should not be dependent on a SINGLE external factor.
Otherwise you are allowing external events to give you permission to feel a certain way.
Act like you won and watch ur world change
I get everything I say I want and find a new issue. What I mentally identify as the core problem in my life is eventually patched and replaced with a new one. I’m restless because I’m directionless and chasing novelty. And then I’m restless because I traded novelty for clarity. The 1 bed was too small and the penthouse is too big. Yeah actually maybe I should get a 2 bed, that’s the solu— I’m doing it again.
It’s not even the disease of more, it’s the disease of different. How many times will I deceive myself until I finally get it? Different isn’t better, it’s just different. And I probably don’t need to sell my things and move across the country. I just need a walk, a workout, and a peaceful afternoon.
This isn’t a cry for help but rather a 3rd party analysis of my insanity. It’s impressive and amusing how much the mind can trick itself. Hopefully one day I’ll get over it. And I’ll realize that the only thing missing is the version of me who cherishes it. Today might be that day. Or I might find a new problem. We’ll see!
