What would you put on a road sign?
People over explain. Someone asks "what do you do?" or "tell me about your Skool community," and we're off to the races. The background. The process. The calls. The DMs. This came up on the Mastermind call, the community call, and my one-to-ones this week. It's just a thing. You have to do stuff to get people a result. We know that. But people care way more about the result than the stuff you do to get them there. You've seen the sign on the side of the road. WE BUY HOUSES. Phone number. Clear offer. You either keep driving or you take a picture and call. You see these every single day: - Cash for Gold. - We Buy Junk Cars. - Keys Made. - Ice. (I love this one.) - Free Estimates. - Injured? Call now. - Cracked Screens Fixed Today. - Firewood $5. - Lawn Mowing. Call Jake. Four words or less. They all name the outcome. None of them explain how. Nobody explains how they buy the junk car. They just buy junk cars. There's a guy on Skool who helps kids with the SAT. His offer is "Get a 1550+ SAT score." Five words. I've looked at that page a bunch of times and I've never once read how he does it. If I wanted a 1550, I wouldn't care. It sounds ridiculous. But it truly needs to be that simple. When I sold elevators, I said "I sell elevators." When I was doing real estate with seller financing and all that, I said "I'm a landlord." Three words. A couple weeks ago I played golf with some strangers. What do you do? "I teach people how to make money on the internet." One guy asked if I was a consultant. Sort of, more like a coach. Then everybody hit their tee shots and nobody brought it up again. That's fine. If they wanted to make money on the internet, they would have asked. And if somebody does ask how, answer the question they asked. Only that one. As few words as possible. Then ask them a question back. Homework. Two questions. Put your answers in the comments and we'll all help each other. 1. What would you put on your road sign? Four words if you can.

@Rafa Alonso That's a good idea. Some tricky aspects as I wouldn't want a core message to be rooted in something negative. I think a lot of designers feel under appreciated, undervalued, sometimes misunderstood and not seen. I think whatever I'd promise would be rooted in self-empowerment; as in - by becoming your best self, you also become empowered...powerful. Thanks, it's really helpful talking through this.

@Rafa Alonso I think mostly of designers with full-time jobs. For them, empowered means having better answers or situational knowledge: how to operate in a tech company; how to do very specific things, like gaining more visibility. Basically, how to do better work, have better relationships, and be better positioned to move up.
I'm Looking for 5 soon to be Skool LEGENDS...
**UPDATE 9-21-26 4 spots left Who want to make their first $1,000 in monthly recurring revenue in the next 90 days. This is an opportunity to work with me 1:1 and be in a room with other high achievers. I want committed members. This is not Mindset coaching. This is execution. You show up and work. It won't be easy. You have direct access to me. I don't pass you off to a VA or another coach. This is NOT for you if: - Your Skool is not already open - You need to be convinced to make content - You're not willing to charge your worth - You're not willing to make sacrifices The only thing standing between you and $1k MRR is YOU. Comment the word "LEGEND" and I'll send the details.
