Shorthand Edition

  1. Make cool 💩
  2. Think of the places and people to do the cool 💩 with
  3. Then, go ask/enroll others to do the 💩

I hate to oversimplify this (actually no, I don't lol), but it really can be that simple for us if we let it. Here's an example and pretty much exactly how it went with ABM's first cohort: 

  1. Seb: I'm making a cool program for coaches to grow their businesses more authentically and sustainability. I think it's 🔥
  2. Seb to Seb: I have some coach friends that I think are trying to do this exact thing. Imma go talk to 'em. 
  3. Seb: "Hey coach friends, I think you're awesome and I'm doing this thing to help awesome coaches grow their businesses authentically and sustainably. Do you have any interest? Or do you know anyone that would be interested?" 

If we are willing to speak to enough people (of which most people are not) and keep our focus on our own enrollment in (1) ourselves and (2) our offers, we know that if we don't quit, we will win. 

^We'll do a live walkthrough of this in the Client Generator Exercise lessons in this module.
