Who should NOT read this blog post…

BY ALI BROWN | May 31, 2017 Leave A Comment

If you’ve felt for any reason you’re pretty average at what you do, or lack confidence in yourself, or aren’t sure what your gifts are, this is NOT a blog you should keep reading.

However, if you know you’re different and special, if you know you’ve been blessed with talents and gifts that you at times wonder how you even deserved, if you feel you’re here on this earth in this lifetime to do something quite extraordinary and create profound impact… this blog is for you.

I have a feeling your business has been performing very well over the past several years. And it likely still is. But you see things changing and shifting daily online and in your industry.

Perhaps there are more competitors popping up daily in your space, and even modeling your exact business and content. Some may even be dumbing down your offerings to a level and price point the masses will digest more easily. They market harder and have more exposure.

While you were being the pioneer, the truly qualified, credible, acclaimed professional… the gate has flown wide open and the crowd is siphoning away potential clients and customers.

Your gravy train is now a crazy train.

And it’s a terrible thing.

OR IS IT?

May I suggest, for a minute, this is actually happening for a huge reason.

To break you out of your current model and push you up to the top.

You see…

You are being called out of that pool of noise.

You are being called to truly start leading.

You are being called to elevate to your highest level of genius.

And THIS, my friends, is an invitation to become truly ICONIC in your field.

This fall, I’m inviting 50 leaders to join me in Los Angeles, California for a powerful two-day retreat to become… ICONIC.

Because seating is so limited, I have a feeling registration won’t be open for long.

So, to be fair, I’m giving everyone a “heads up” and the opportunity to raise your hand for early notice when full information and registration goes live in the next two weeks.

Simply enter your info here and you’ll get on the list.

Even if you’re just curious, I highly recommend it.

Meet you at the top. It’s less crowded up here. (And the air is better.)

Love and success,

Ali

Farnoosh Torabi, Financial Expert — Glambition Radio Episode 112 with Ali Brown

BY ALI BROWN | May 31, 2017 Leave A Comment

This new-generation money expert isn’t going to tell you how to clip coupons or save money on gas. But she IS about learning to be smart with money and enjoy a “rich” life. Her audience is resonating with it, by way of her bestselling books including “When She Makes More”, to her chart-topping “So Money” podcast (which I’ll be a guest on in two weeks), to her monthly column in “O Magazine” and past TV shows on CNBC and other networks.

Farnoosh was the daughter of Iranian immigrants. She worked hard to earn her master’s degree, and then was living in NYC, saddled with $30,000 in student loans, and making $18 an hour at her first job. Coincidentally (or maybe not… in the grand destiny of things) the job was fact checking at Money magazine.

While seeking advice on how to climb out of debt while living in one of the most expensive cities in the world, Farnoosh discovered that NO ONE was speaking to her generation about money. She realized our country was filled with people like her – young, thirsty professionals who were ambitious but just didn’t know how to deal with day-to-day money issues, much less make educated decisions to secure a healthy financial future. And they didn’t want to listen to an older generation of money gurus or out of touch financial planners.

—-> I love how she SAW the opportunity to be this “expert” from an early age, and then, as you’ll hear on the show, she simply plotted out how to get there, and then kept moving forward.

On this week’s episode of Glambition Radio, Farnoosh shares the stories that turned her from a near-intern to a personal finance authority who now owns a lot of the next generation media domain.

On the show, we discuss:

How Farnoosh found her niche and positioned herself as an expert, step by step
How she got her “So Money” podcast up to 100,000 downloads a MONTH as soon as possible, and continues to use it to break the ranks
How Farnoosh gets guests like Tony Robbins, Robert Kiyosaki, Jillian Michaels, and Tim Gunn to open up about their financial perspectives, money failures, and habits. (I’ll be in her hot seat on June 12!)
A candid discussion on what inspired her book “When She Makes More” and our own journeys around being the breadwinners of our families
The difference between making money with what you do vs. making money from what you know.

On this episode of Glambition Radio, Farnoosh and I also talk financial bandwidth, mute buttons, and investing in self-care. I know you’ll get a lot out of this episode. So head over to iTunes and listen to this episode of Glambition Radio now (or download for later).

Love and Success,

Jennifer Maggiore, founder and CEO of Red Balloon Social Media — on Glambition Radio Episode 111 with Ali Brown

BY ALI BROWN | May 24, 2017 Leave A Comment

We can’t put it down. We depend on it. And our kids will never know a world without it. There are two billion social media users today, and we’re expected to reach nearly three billion by 2020. And only a handful of us saw its impact coming.

My client Jennifer Maggiore was one of the few who got it right away. First, years ago, she put the new media to work when she took a women’s racing apparel line online after selling it under a tent at the racetrack, and built it into a business she eventually sold.

Today Jennifer is founder and CEO of Red Balloon Social Media, an award-winning digital agency that designs and executes media campaigns that alter the course, increase the revenues, and change the conversation for major brands as well as small businesses.

But not without some twists and turns, including major medical issues for both herself and her son, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor at only age two.

On this week’s episode of Glambition Radio, you’ll hear her story that led her to starting her current acclaimed business as well as the insights along the way that put a laser focus on her priorities.

On the show, we discuss:

The original online experiments Jen did – including Craigslist ads and even working pro bono – to get her social media business off the ground. (I love how she thought out of the box.)
Jen’s near miss with an unmistakable sign from the universe. (Spoiler Alert: a lost shoe, soccer game, and red balloon told her “to go for it”.)
The recent BIG social media fails by United, McDonalds, and Pepsi, and why these companies still just aren’t “getting it”
Social media 101 elements that even everyday, successful businesses are messing up (translation=lost $$$)
The moments that push us forward (even when they appear as the last thing you ever want to see)!
The “next move syndrome” and why need to bathe in our achievements along the way (I’m a victim of this myself)

On this week’s episode of Glambition Radio Jen and I mix sound social media advice with how we enjoy the business journey every day.

NOTE: Jen also talks candidly about the worst few days of her life and how they led to her biggest transformation. The story of how she and her family dealt with the diagnosis of her toddler son and his remarkable recovery is both heartbreaking and inspiring at the same time.

On this episode of Glambition Radio, we also chat about the joys and guilts of coffee pods, readying ourselves for A.I., and a new tagline we created called “bold, empowered, and a little bit slutty” — it’s up for sale if you’d like it.

I know you’ll get a lot out of this episode. So head over to iTunes and listen to this episode of Glambition Radio now (or download for later).

Keri Murphy, CEO, Inspired Living — on Glambition Radio Episode 110 with Ali Brown

BY ALI BROWN | May 17, 2017 Leave A Comment

She said her lines, they said “thank you”, and she left in tears. She’d waited in line for over three hours in a bikini to audition for a potential job hosting a TV travel show. And she was emotional — not because she performed poorly, but because at that moment she knew she would NEVER again put herself in a position like this, where someone else decided her destiny.

From that moment on, Keri Murphy’s life began to shift, because she owned it.

Not that she hadn’t already made some incredible moves. She’d already gone from furniture store salesgirl to interior decorator at age 23. And she bought her hometown modeling agency when she was 27 (which nearly ended in bankruptcy – but it was still one of the best things she’d ever done, as she explains on the show).

But once Keri claimed her destiny that day in LA, magical things began to happen. Today, she’s CEO of Inspired Living, leading thousands of women to step into their brilliance by owning their power and platforms.

On this week’s episode of Glambition Radio, Keri and I walk through each level of her brilliant choices (even those that were hard lessons), and what it’s amounted to today.

On the show, we discuss:

The mistake we make by waiting for opportunities to be handed to us instead of creating our own
The distinction between selling an image and manifesting your best self online (the you be you element)
The phone call Keri got in 2008 that led her to jump on a plane to work in New Zealand the following week to teach some wild stuff
The energy of money – how your investing out and receiving in flow through the same space (Keri and I are living proof of this concept)
The importance of live events – meeting face-to-face changes your destiny
How Kevin Sorbo (“Hercules!”) helped lead Keri to hosting her first show online (originally by way of the Golf Channel)
BONUS: How a disastrous stint teaching STEP in the 90s taught me (Ali) how to ‘own a room’ forever more

Keri and I have quite a wild chat on this week’s episode of Glambition Radio.

VERY IMPORTANT: You’ll also hear about Keri’s upcoming Brilliant Event in LA on June 4-6, 2017, which I’ll be speaking at. We’d love you to come join us! Use code Ali100 for a special $100 off at www.thebrilliantevent.com

This special gathering of success-minded women will be led by Keri, myself, and four other mavens who have multi-million dollar brands — designer Jennifer Adams, “Business Chicks” founder Emma Isaacs, home décor maven Dayna Decker, and LA Sparks president Christine Simmons. We’ll talk positioning, growing, and scaling your business to create influence, impact, and income. It’s at a very accessible price point and at a beautiful waterfront venue.

On this episode of Glambition Radio, Keri and I also talk about yearning for Barbizon at 13, camera jitters, being a hot mess, and how she keeps her house so clean while raising her beautiful baby daughter Lauren on her own.

I know you’ll get a lot out of this episode. So head over to iTunes and listen to this episode of Glambition Radio now (or download for later).

‘BOLD Ways to Break Away From the Pack’ — Glambition Radio Episode 109 with Ali Brown

BY ALI BROWN | May 10, 2017 Leave A Comment

Everyone is peeing in the pool, and it’s time to get out.

If you’ve been in this game a long time (at least several years) and think back to when you started your business, it was likely just you and a few select others in the pool (your industry, or “space” within).

You were splashing around, having a good time… business was great. Everything was new, and fun. There was a good DJ and great drinks.

Then, little by little, the party filled up.

Suddenly you felt more people next to you, and the water got greasy. Space was getting competitive. And standards started to lower.

The good dance music morphed into bad dubstep. The bodyguards stopped checking ID, so anyone could get in.

And then it hits you – you’re trapped inside one of those giant daytime Vegas pool parties, in a sea of bodies, and no one is visiting the restroom.

Ewwwwwwwwwww.

But hope is near.

I’m here to help lift you out of the mess, and into your own clean body of water.

It’s time to BREAK AWAY FROM THE PACK, and I’m sharing how on this week’s Glambition Radio.

It starts with how you think, and ends with what you do.

Positioning is a vast topic, but on this show I’m going to cover six key areas you should start thinking about asap. The first three are about ENERGETIC separation you need to impart immediately to gain strength and perspective. And the second three are PRACTICAL steps you need to take to position yourself up and away from all the competition.

Get ready to listen a few times or take some notes, because I’m going to cover…

when it’s time to ditch the exact formula that made you successful (this sounds completely counterintuitive, but hear me out)
how studying Picasso’s teenage years gave me permission to break even more rules in my business evolution
why those launch “recipes” just don’t work for some folks (contrary to what many marketing gurus prescribe – they say “just do what I say and you’ll get the best results”, which doesn’t always work and I explain why)
why your mastery is now not only more important than ever, but more important than ever to convey in your marketing
and much more.

I know you’ll get a lot out of this episode, and my 6 BOLD ways to break out of the pack.

Danielle LaPorte, author of “White Hot Truth” — Glambition Radio Episode 108 with Ali Brown

BY ALI BROWN | May 3, 2017 Leave A Comment

Ladies and gentlemen, the fantastical* Danielle LaPorte.

She and I share many colleagues and followers, but we’ve NEVER actually had a conversation before, let alone one like this. Perhaps it was avoided on a galactic level because our high vibrations would collide and cause some type of sudden supernova in an alternate universe.

I guess we’ll find out on the other side. But anyway, after listening to her edgy, practical, and compassionate wisdom on this week’s show, even you dedicated truth seekers will feel like you can tap into YOUR deeper truth and take on anything.

[*Fantastical: a form of fantastic that has been pumped up with quite a bit of kick ass (Urban Dictionary)]

You may know Danielle as modern philosopher, bestselling author, and member of Oprah’s Super Soul 100. However, did you know this maven whose site boasts over 5 MILLION visitors a month is a former Body Shop executive, business strategist, and even ran a Washington, D.C. think tank. (And all without finishing university. Oh the academic horror.)

So, how did she become… DANIELLE LAPORTE? You’ll have to listen to find out as we trace her journey from there to here and beyond.

On this week’s episode of Glambition Radio, Danielle tells us how she found her authentic life by never asking permission and boldly owning her opinions on business, life choices, and spirituality. And why the time is right for her new brand book, White Hot Truth: Clarity for keeping it real on your spiritual path – from one seeker to another.

On the show, we discuss:

The epidemic of women not giving themselves permission to want what they want
How to wade through the current wave of online “Disciple-shit” (false prophets and gurus)
Why it’s perfectly fine for you to NOT read the reviews for your book (or those comments on social media that keep you awake)
How it’s painful to not be liked, but even more painful to be misunderstood (in fact, Danielle instantly nailed why a situation I shared on the show was so painful at the time)
The high road takes you longer to get where you’re going sometimes, but it’s worth not selling out
How you can have an “open, gentle heart with a big F-ing fence” (from her book)

You’ll also hear how Danielle was ousted from a company she cofounded — and how she chose to handle it — on our Glambition Radio interview here.

She explains how her new book White Hot Truth is a raw, honest, funny, and wise gift to spiritual freedom. Danielle’s critical but kind voice examines all the ways we try to improve ourselves – and asks tough questions about the spiritual growth industry. The ones we’re afraid to ask. (Spoiler alert: no answers…you have to find your own truth!)

On this episode of Glambition Radio, Danielle and I discuss the cliché of Kombucha, negative comments that stick in your brain, and what a think tank really does.

I know you’ll get a lot out of this episode. So head over to iTunes and listen to this episode of Glambition Radio now (or download for later).

Geneen Roth, author of “Women, Food, and God” — Glambition Radio Episode 107 with Ali Brown

BY ALI BROWN | April 26, 2017 Leave A Comment

Geneen Roth spent the first 30 years of her life in what she describes as “diet hell”, certain that being thin would finally make her happy. It almost killed her.

When she took a closer look at her relationship with food, Geneen discovered more about herself than she ever imagined. And she’s dedicated the last three decades to helping women transform the way they think about food…and themselves.

On this week’s episode of Glambition Radio, Geneen and I discuss the rollercoaster ride of gut-wrenching lessons she’s learned and embraces — in self-image, love, and money. (Both Oprah and Bernie Madoff play big roles in her highs and lows, which she reveals on the show.)

Geneen spent years thinking that everything wrong in her life would be fixed if she could change the shape of her body. The diets started when she was 11 years old and escalated to fasting, anorexia, and bulimia. Self-loathing permeated every thought – until she just couldn’t take it anymore. Her hunger for food was really about something so much deeper – and she realized every woman she knew faced the same struggle.

Hear why being compared to Michelangelo changed everything for Geneen in our Glambition Radio interview here.

The author of nine books, Geneen became a pioneering voice in the link between compulsive eating and spiritual issues beyond food, weight and body image. Geneen is the author of nine books, including the #1 New York Times bestsellers Women Food, and God; Lost and Found; and When Food Is Love.

Geneen has appeared on many national television shows including: Oprah’s “Super Soul Sunday” (which she’s making a RE-APPEARANCE on this coming Sunday, April 30!), The Oprah Show, 20/20, The NBC Nightly News, The View, The Today Show, and Good Morning America.

Today, Geneen does her best operating live, getting deeply personal during her weeklong Women, Food and God Retreats. (It’s described as “magical” by her students. One even ranked it a close second to the life-changing experience of childbirth.)

Geneen says it’s also about more than just food – the way we treat love and money too is all a reflection of our deepest held beliefs about ourselves. And the amount of joy, abundance, and pain we have (or think we’re allowed to have) in our lives. She explains how on the show.

Hear Geneen and I debate whether “body shaming” really does exist on the show.

On this episode of Glambition Radio, Geneen and I also discuss background noise, boycotting beauty magazines, and setting goals while detaching from the results.

I know you’ll get a lot out of this episode. So head over to iTunes and listen to this episode of Glambition Radio now (or download for later).

Let’s meet up soon in Chicago or LA…

BY ALI BROWN | April 20, 2017 Leave A Comment

WOW to the responses I’ve received to last week’s Glambition Radio episode called “Stop the Online Insanity”!

Thank you to all of you who reached out with comments—including someone who wrote she “nearly cried with relief” when hearing such truth about the immense market saturation and devaluation we’re all having to cope with today when marketing online.

With all the online noise these days, positioning yourself in the right place is more important than ever.

AND… I’m ready to help you.

I’m excited to announce my next U.S. workshop, which will be held OCTOBER 24-25, 2017 in Los Angeles, CA.

If you loved my latest episode of Glambition Radio, this two-day, private event is for you. We’re going to focus on helping you create SO strong a position in your market that you’re seen as the obvious leader to your prospects and clients.

==> Details will follow soon, but if you’d like to get on an early notification list, just shoot an email to my team at support@alibrown.com and mention “fall workshop”. (There’s nothing on my site yet about this!)

And check out these other two stellar events below, which are coming up fast. I’ll be taking the main stage at both of them, and highly recommend you join me there!

===================

APRIL 26-28, 2017: CHICAGO, IL

Million Dollar Consulting Convention

This is a can’t-miss event for those serious about consulting, hosted by someone I consider a rare and true authority on the topic: Alan Weiss. I still recommend his bestseller Million Dollar Consulting to many of my own clients for its sage and bold advice. This is not one of those seminars just designed to sell you into something else. It actually has real content that you can walk away with and apply immediately to your business.

I’ll be delivering a special main-stage session on how to position yourself for bigger dollars and higher end clients. Learn more and reserve your seat here.

JUNE 2-4, 2017: LOS ANGELES, CA

The Brilliant! Event

Hosted by my longtime client Keri Murphy, this fabulous event for women has a powerful lineup of superstars sharing their greatest business wisdom. Speakers include yours truly, Emma Isaacs of Business Chicks, home décor and fragrance empire designer DayNa Decker, President of the LA Sparks Christine Simmons, and more powerful women entrepreneurs, change-makers, and leaders.

I’ll be speaking on positioning to attract your ideal clients and outwit your competition. Learn more and reserve your seat here.

Love and success,

P.S. I hope to meet you at one of these events. But if you’re more interested in working with me 1:1, I do have a few VIP Strategy Packages available and can meet while I’m in town. You can learn more and inquire here.

Kathryn Minshew and Alex Cavoulacos, founders of TheMuse.com and authors of “The New Rules of Work”, on Glambition Radio Episode 106 with Ali Brown

BY ALI BROWN | April 20, 2017 Leave A Comment

My favorite kind of business story is one where women create the product or service they want for themselves but it doesn’t exist.

Enter Kathryn Minshew and Alex Cavoulacos, co-founders of TheMuse.com, who decided to turn the traditional job search site into something much more personal, relevant, and effective. And they’ve done it so well that their site has been used by over 50 million jobseekers just in its first few years of existence. (And they’ve raised nearly $30 million in funding.)

The Muse offers a behind-the-scenes look at job openings, personalized career advice from prominent experts, and profiles hundreds of companies. It also helps companies create and market a strong employment brand to recruit the best talent out there.

Kathryn and Alex also have a new book out called The New Rules of Work: The Modern Playbook for Navigating Your Career.

On this week’s episode of Glambition Radio, Kathryn and Alex share the professional and personal choices that helped them find their power and land them on the “Forbes 30 Under 30 in Media” and SmartCEO’s Future50 lists.

Kathryn and Alex met when they were working together as management consultants in New York City. One afternoon over a glass of wine they compared notes about their career paths, what they learned, and the people who influenced their choices.

They realized there was no single place you could go to navigate your career – which was unbelievable, since choosing the right career path, is one of the most important decisions in a person’s life. And on top of that, all the job search websites, well, suck. You could type in detailed skillsets and the exact type of position you want, and you would still be delivered ridiculous matches. (You’ll love their story on this one!)

So they created their own destination platform to provide career advice, resources, and experts to help people acquire the skills and the confidence they need to be successful.

Hear how Kathryn and Alex first tested their concept for The Muse before getting funding in our Glambition Radio interview here.

Between Kathryn and Alex’s real world experience and feedback from The Muse users, it then became clear that the old ways of approaching a career don’t work today and a new “rulebook” was needed. New technologies, video chats, remote work, and even the way we write resumes and do job interviews, have fundamentally changed – so they wrote The New Rules of Work, which we discuss on the show.

On this episode of Glambition Radio, you’ll hear us talk about mapping, experimentation, and sticking to your values. I know you’ll get a lot out of this episode. So head over to iTunes and listen to this episode of Glambition Radio now (or download for later).

Love and Success,

‘STOP the Online Insanity!’ — Glambition Radio Episode 105 with Ali Brown

BY ALI BROWN | April 8, 2017 Leave A Comment

Can I share something with you that I haven’t really shared publicly yet?

I am seriously concerned for the droves of new women emerging from the “get online and build your business” programs right now.

Two years ago I wrote a post called “My Prediction of the HUGE ‘Launch Bubble’ That’s Coming Fast… and How to Surpass It”.

Turns out it was a bit ahead of its time, because I thought things couldn’t get any worse.

They have.

It’s time to STOP THE ONLINE INSANITY, and I’m addressing it this week on Glambition Radio.

And while most of my perspective is around the areas of coaching, consulting, online training, and general thought leader “guru-dom”, this epidemic is something to consider no matter your industry.

This episode is brand new and I share analysis and commentary I’ve only shared with my private clients, up until now.

Here’s the rub:

As a founder of this industry (or “The Godmother”, as one of my clients dubbed me), who launched her first ebook online in 2002 and since 2005 has taught thousands of business owners how to get online and use the Internet to market and leverage new income streams from their expertise, I am truly speechless at times these days when I see what’s going on.

First, let’s look at the complete market saturation.

You can’t log online now without being nearly assaulted by ad after ad of “coaches” and “consultants” selling something to you. Because now it’s so easy to get online and sell stuff, everyone is getting online and… selling stuff. There’s no barrier to entry. Get some templates, spend a few bucks on ads, and your façade is ready. And in most cases, it’s the blind leading the blind.

Social media has been the main vehicle for this, which I address on my show.

But there’s a stranger phenomenon happening, especially for women, and I’m dubbing it OVERSTYLIZATION.

I’m seeing many women take their business online (or what they think is a business) after taking a course that taught them how, and instead of thinking through how they are going to make money they are instead obsessed with having the coolest images, website, and overall brand.

And OH those lifestyle shots. Cue the “I’m walking around with shopping bags and talking on my mobile phone after getting full hair and makeup, so aren’t I a cool coach?” photos. (And I’ve seen some male equivalents that have sent me rolling in hysterics.)

My concern is… many of these poor gals are cluelessly going into tons of debt to get it all looking the way they think it HAS to be. Focusing on the sizzle ahead of (and instead of) the steak.

I recently met one newbie – lovely girl — who confided in me her “launch” expenses had already topped $25,000 (all put on credit cards), and she still wasn’t sure what her income model was.

Take that in…

Still.

Wasn’t.

Sure.

What.

Her.

Income.

Model.

Was.

But wow her site looked cool.

And so did she.

She’d just done everything her “coach” told her to do. Including renting out a mansion for a photo shoot and getting hair extensions. All this supposedly necessary for a “business coaching” site. You can’t make this stuff up. I share more about this story on the show.

Listen, I love my glam too—I’ve done it all, and worn it all, and had a lot of fun. And yes you do need a few good photos. But you don’t NEED this stuff to launch your business.

I understand that often women get excited about their big “coming out” online and debuting their personal brand. For many women, going into business for themselves IS their ultimate personal expression, and they are finally stepping into the person they know they could be.

But I’m even seeing many savvy women with impressive business resumes accidentally throw it out the window (on purpose or by accident), thinking they need to fill their site with flirty photos and focusing so much on likeability that they forget about credibility.

I had to point out to one new client last year that her site neglected to mention she had won one of the top business awards in the entire country.

When she realized this, her head sunk into her hands with a big sigh.

She’d drank the glamma-coach Kool Aid.

Deep breath, and this is coming from a tough love mama place:

You have all lost your f-ing minds.

I used to teach that your marketing is more important than your mastery. Because in years past, I saw many amazing women with serious businesses holding back promoting themselves out of fear, shyness, or lack of confidence.

Now we see the opposite.

And I’m saying the opposite.

Listen up…

STOP. THE. ONLINE. INSANITY.

And while I’m concerned for the newbies, I’m even MORE concerned for those women who have real businesses and real credibility.

How do you NOT GET LOST in all the incredible noise right now?
How do you make sure it gets across we have REAL VALUE TO DELIVER?
HOW do you make sure you aren’t even compared to all the new people who are emerging online every day?

Tune in to this episode of Glambition Radio and find out.

Overstylization and oversaturation are only two of the 5 fearsome online insanity factors I cover.

This show is NO-HOLDS BARRED, so get ready to listen a few times or take some notes, because I’m also going to cover…

How social media has been amazing in many respects, but also sadly devalued things for serious business owners who now struggle to stand out.
Why you need to be mindful of the transactional economy we’ve entered into (think Tinder, Uber), which has brought some very cool new things, but a downside to those of us who are still marketing like we used to.
The immense complicated funnels that are completely unnecessary for most of us, but are still being taught year after year at big “launch” seminars. (No, you still don’t need a 4-part video series and a 14-step funnel with a tripwire offer to get clients. Trust me on this one.)
And some real-life horror stories you just won’t believe, giving examples of what I’m seeing behind some of the curtains I’m privy to.

I know you’ll get a lot out of this episode. 😉
