Tim Horton's got this wrong.

I'm nearing the end of my 4-day trip to Canada and had to check one more thing off my list: A trip to Tim Horton's. Not that I love it. It's just tradition. Luckily, there's one in the parking lot of my hotel. It's a bit cold and cloudy today, so I bundled up and walked across the parking lot towards the big red building. I grabbed coffee and a raisin bran muffin. After I sat down, I noticed my paper cup was leaking from the bottom. I glared at the growing ring of hot coffee under my cup. "You had one job," I said to no one in particular. The whole point of a cup is to hold liquid, right? It got me thinking about the "jobs" of our business. Take Facebook Ads, for example: The job of the image is to stop the scroll. The job of our copy is to get the click. The job of our landing page is to get their email address. The job of our email subject line is to get them to open. The job of our body copy is to get the click to the sale page. The job of our sales page is to get the sale. And so on... But the job of our Facebook Ads is not to get the sale. Make sense? Remember to stay focused on the job of each piece of your marketing process so you know what to tweak if something isn't working.

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...
