Most marketing certifications are a total rip-off… I just got yet another pitch by email… For yet another marketing certification… Which reminded me… I HATE MARKETING CERTIFICATIONS! Not ALL of them — but MOST. And it’s for a very specific reason: MOST are...
Today, I’m answering another subscriber question… He wants to know which copywriting skills are most useful to learn… To help his employer — a consulting business — grow. I’m NOT going to get tactical here. I’m not going to say, “Go learn YouTube ads,” or, “Go learn...
Great storytelling isn’t just about what happens… It’s about how the characters in the story FEEL about what happens. This is a major premise and principle behind the excellent Audible program, The Hero’s 2 Journeys… From Will Smith’s script and screenwriting...
Today you’ll hear exactly how to sell high-ticket offers with a high-ticket funnel and a two-call close… This works. Period. If you have a good offer, at a high enough price that you pretty much need to hop on the phone… This is what you need to do. Especially if...

This has come up at least half-a-dozen times in the last week… I’m stressed right now. I’m sure you are, too. Our families are. Our teams and employees are. Our customers and clients are. We’re stressed about the virus and its health impacts. And we’re stressed...
I want to make it as easy as possible for you to start a client business… Too many people sit at the starting line. Never getting started. Never getting going. Never taking those first critical steps. Steps you MUST take, whether your goal is a side income,...
