Why this prompt: Leading with your own bad-advice story before asking for theirs is what gives people permission to actually vent. BEAT 1 — THE HOOK Answer your own question first — that's the invitation. Try one of these, or write your own in the same spirit — use whatever feels like YOU: • Worst business advice I ever got — and I'm still annoyed about it. • What's the worst advice you ever received? I'll go first. • Someone told me this once. It was terrible advice. BEAT 2 — SHARE YOUR WHY (KEEP IT TIGHT) Ask your audience about the worst advice they ever got about your topic. Lead with your own answer, in detail, so they know exactly what kind of honesty you're asking for. No judgment in the framing. BEAT 3 — THE CLOSE Pick one: • Your turn. What's yours? • This is why I question everything I'm told. • Mic drop: Never following that advice again. POST IT Film it on your phone. Post it — Reel, Story, Carousel, whatever. Comment on at least 5 other members' videos. Drop your LINK here — not the video — Day 4: [Link]. To copy it: open your post on Instagram/TikTok, tap Share, tap Copy Link, then paste it here. DO NOT upload your actual video file in this thread — post it on social, drop the link here, then go comment on 5 other people's real videos on social. Tag #AudaciousAugust #OutLoud.

Why this prompt: A specific result for a specific person does more selling than any feature list — people buy proof, not promises. BEAT 1 — THE HOOK Open with the starting point, not the result — the gap is what creates the pull. Try one of these, or write your own in the same spirit — use whatever feels like YOU: • She came to me stuck at [starting point]. Here's where she is now. • A client result I still can't stop thinking about. • This is what changed after [timeframe] of doing the work. BEAT 2 — SHARE YOUR WHY (KEEP IT TIGHT) Share a real result someone got after working with you. Be specific about where they started and where they ended up — real numbers, real timeframe if you can share it. End with a clear next step for anyone in that same starting spot. BEAT 3 — THE CLOSE Pick one: • Sound like where you're starting? Here's the next step. • This is exactly the result I want for everyone I work with. • Mic drop: That's the transformation. No apology attached. POST IT Film it on your phone. Post it — Reel, Story, Carousel, whatever. Comment on at least 5 other members' videos. Drop your LINK here — not the video — Day 5: [Link]. To copy it: open your post on Instagram/TikTok, tap Share, tap Copy Link, then paste it here. DO NOT upload your actual video file in this thread — post it on social, drop the link here, then go comment on 5 other people's real videos on social. Tag #AudaciousAugust #OutLoud.

Why this prompt: A labeled symptom she didn't have a name for is the fastest way to make a stranger feel personally called out — in a good way. BEAT 1 — THE HOOK A numbered list of signs is impossible to scroll past — the brain wants to check itself against every one. Try one of these, or write your own in the same spirit — use whatever feels like YOU: • 5 signs you've outgrown your [thing] (even if it still looks fine). • Signs you're the reason your own growth stalled. • 3 signs nobody warns you about before [milestone]. BEAT 2 — SHARE YOUR WHY (KEEP IT TIGHT) Pick the problem you actually solve. List 3-5 specific signs your ideal client is living through it right now, things she hasn't put a label on yet. Use her language, not industry language. Land the last one hardest. BEAT 3 — THE CLOSE Pick one: • Which one hit? Tell me below. • This is exactly the pattern I help people break. • Mic drop: If you saw yourself in that list, you know what to do. POST IT Film it on your phone. Post it — Reel, Story, Carousel, whatever. Comment on at least 5 other members' videos. Drop your LINK here — not the video — Day 1: [Link]. To copy it: open your post on Instagram/TikTok, tap Share, tap Copy Link, then paste it here. DO NOT upload your actual video file in this thread — post it on social, drop the link here, then go comment on 5 other people's real videos on social. Tag #AudaciousAugust #OutLoud.

Why this prompt: Naming the exact wrong belief before correcting it does more work than any explainer — it proves you know what's actually being said out there. BEAT 1 — THE HOOK State the myth flatly, no hedge, before you touch the truth. Try one of these, or write your own in the same spirit — use whatever feels like YOU: • The biggest myth about [your topic]... and what actually works instead. • Everyone believes this about [topic]. It's not true. • This 'rule' in my industry has never once held up. BEAT 2 — SHARE YOUR WHY (KEEP IT TIGHT) Name the exact belief your audience has been fed. Say why it's more complicated than that — with a specific example of someone it failed. Then say what's actually true, plainly. BEAT 3 — THE CLOSE Pick one: • Did you believe this one too? Tell me. • This is why I do it differently. • Mic drop: Myth, busted. POST IT Film it on your phone. Post it — Reel, Story, Carousel, whatever. Comment on at least 5 other members' videos. Drop your LINK here — not the video — Day 2: [Link]. To copy it: open your post on Instagram/TikTok, tap Share, tap Copy Link, then paste it here. DO NOT upload your actual video file in this thread — post it on social, drop the link here, then go comment on 5 other people's real videos on social. Tag #AudaciousAugust #OutLoud.

We're 2 days in to Audacious August! This Thursday, we get together live — and I need three things from you before then. 1️⃣ YOUR PRE-WORK Takes 5 minutes. Write down all three: - An audacious thing you said this year — out loud, to a client, to your audience, to yourself - An audacious thing you did — the risk you took, the thing you launched, the ask you made - An audacious thing you stopped doing — the thing you finally walked away from Bring it with you this Thursday. We're going to use it. 2️⃣ WHO'S IN THE ROOM Please double-check your time zone before Thursday, because there nothing worse than missing the start because of a time conversion error. Not sure what time 11am CST is for your location? Google it — search "11am CST in my time zone" and it'll do the time conversion for you. Show up a few minutes early if you can, but at the very least, be there on time. All calls can be found in the Calendar section of the School. Comment "IN" below if you're going to be there thisThursday, Aug 6 @11am CST. 3️⃣ DROP YOUR ONE VIDEO LINK TOMORROW Out of everything you've posted so far this month, pick the ONE video you most want my eyes on. Drop that link below. I'm going to pull a handful of these live and audit what's working and how it could've gone even more audacious. That feedback is reserved for whoever shows up live, but the replay's there, and you'll still walk away with plenty to apply to your own videos. See you Thursday! XOXO Vasavi
