Some Core Principles…
‘Attract, Never Chase’. I learned this in another life selling expensive things to the affluent. It’s wonderful. Every day, we are given a finite amount of energy, which we can either spend chasing something — or utilize to create something that will attract it to us. Chasing can be fun and is a useful skill. But with attraction lies the upside.
‘Marketing Redundancy’. The coaching world taught me this. Most coaches get clients with one-time efforts that don’t have secondary or tertiary benefits. This leads to a business one hates.
‘People Over Profit’. Way too many assholes taking advantage of folks new to the world of improving oneself. I make it a point to surround myself with people (peers, clients, mentors) who genuinely care about others.
The Basics…
I’ve finally put together a foundational YouTube series so you don’t have to waste eye-watering sums of money on marketing programs you don’t need.
If you still do social media you can find links over here.
My website is here.
Many people will never become clients of mine but can gain a lot with the paid subscription. It’s stupidly cheap, and you can cancel at any time. Try it for a month, see what you learn, and watch your marketing brain level up. But even if you stay on the basic free subscription, every issue has a single takeaway lesson to help you grow your business that aligns with who you are.
A Bit About Me…
Rapid fire: I love people. I travel full-time. I don’t take flights before noon. I despise busy work. I don’t multi-task. I yearn to create useful things. I’m a keen student. I see business as a real-life video game.
