Why More Leads Might Hurt You

I see this all over the internet.
People talk about needing more leads, or more new clients.
My DMs are full with outreach offering me more leads.

The reality is that most think they need more leads,
when in reality they don’t have a good enough offer.

Focus to help one person better, more and effective.
Then you will have something to offer that is power.
Take that out into the world and you’ll see:
suddenly leads become easier.

More leads doesn’t automatically grow your business.
When you don’t know what to do with those leads,
they can cause you more harm than good.

This is the reality.
I see this in the business from sales bros.
They get leads, turn them into chats, and then they are done.
They don’t have a great product.
If people buy and then fall through —
this is how a bad reputation is built.

Start with a real product.
Don’t build it behind closed doors.
Build it in public with clients.
Then you have the proof of value.

This will jumpstart your business and turn it into a
real problem-solving machine.

Yet too many get side-tracked.

My tip for you is to write to people you already know.
Get them to help you and solve their problems.

Don’t get stuck getting leads when you can’t actually help them.

    This is a topic I keep thinking about. I’m yet to fully grasp what it means.We don’t like to be manipulated. It often happens — when I’m on X or other social platforms,I feel like the Sales Bros are always trying to be manipulative. A lot of the strategies behind Persuasion and Manipulation are similar.They are similar to what they do —but we don’t like to be sold to.

  • The One Thing AI Can’t Replace

    We all live now in the age of AI. The way I see it—it’s only the beginning. There are so many ways this can go. The one question I keep wondering about is:How do I set myself apart from AI? How can I still be unique? While I’m not sure there is only one thing to do— I believe the answer is this: Being present. Being present means to be in a room together with full attention. You put your phone down this time. AI can replace many tasks, but it can never replace real human interaction. Yes, it…

  • Creativity Is a Muscle, Not a Muse

    How often do you hear:“I don’t know what to write about.”“I don’t know what to film.”“I don’t know what to paint.” How often have you used those excuses yourself when you came up to the creative task? In the beginning, I was also stressing out about not feeling creative. There are big gaps in my YouTube career. Those were times when I felt like I didn’t have any creative ideas. It all felt overwhelming. Other times, I felt the muse strike — and I had way too many ideas. Now I know: Creativity…

  • Commitment is Elimination of Options

    Hey Reader, Commitment is often talked about mostly as a sense of committing to more. Taking on a new commitment or getting more committed. Yet commitment means:to eliminate alternatives. I know that most think of commitment as adding something new to your life.I thought that way for years. Then I ended up with too many commitments—too many plates that I wasn’t able to actually do. I started to feel burned out. That’s when I noticed how flawed my understanding of commitment was. Commitment is…

  • More Content Won’t Save a Bad Offer

    One thing that comes up in my coaching calls a lot is that people want to just create more content. The client wishes to work more on content.Content creation definitely has a lot of value. I also enjoy it—the work. Yet creating more content only helps when we have a business in the booth. More content is not going to fix your offer problem. I have tried this many times—and it doesn’t work. I have grown a YouTube channel to be monetized to get the clicks to my offer. Because I was so focused…
