My embarrassing Uber rating.
|
I was enduring a long Uber ride earlier this week and quickly grew bored. I noticed my driver had an exceptionally high rating (4.99), and I grew curious about my rating. It took me a second to find it, but when I did, my jaw dropped. I assumed it would be flawless. I'm a nice guy. Nice smile. Southern charm. Great manners. Lots of gratitude. I don't smell like smoke, and I've never puked in the backseat. So when I saw my rating, I was flabbergasted. 4.8 (!?!) This means for every 4 people that give me 5 stars, someone gives me a 4. In Uber-land, that's basically a 0, as far as I'm concerned. Maybe it's my quiet nature. Maybe I don't tip well enough. I assumed I was God's gift to Uber drivers when, apparently, I left something to be desired. But it's good to know where I stand and a reminder that you can't please everyone. Do your best, smile, and be friendly. You never know how far a little kindness can go. You got this, ~ Cody "Time to Tune Up My Small Talk" Burch P.S.

A year ago today, I hosted my first live event after getting fired 6 months prior. I called it "List Build & Launch" and it was held at a boutique hotel here in Colorado Springs. But a few weeks before the event I almost canceled it. Why? I only had 14 people signed up. By the time the event kicked off, I was down to 12 people. I used to get really disappointed when I didn't have the numbers I wanted. Everyone wants more leads, sales, customers, webinar registrants, and event attendees,...
A few years back, I joined a YouTube coaching program. I learned the best day of the week to post your video... The optimal length of your video (including the frequency of "cuts")... The perfect lighting and framing of your video... ...The prescribed volume, cadence, and rhythm of posting on YouTube. And then... I did nothing. I got overwhelmed. I felt bad that my video was 7 minutes (too short, apparently) and not 12 minutes ("perfect", allegedly) I was embarrassed to have cuts happening...
When I first started my online business, I tried and failed to make my mark as a "funnel guy." I was like a Diet Coke Russell Brunson. A Kirkland Signature Ryan Deiss. A "Dr. Thunder" Dan Kennedy. I had a hard time differentiating myself in a crowded marketplace. I couldn't find a unique hook which meant I had to work harder than normal to get clients. Everything felt like a grind... It was like I was pushing a boulder up a hill. So when I returned online in Jan '23, I knew I had to find a...
