Someone tried to piss me off on Facebook. Instead, they accidentally made a fantastic advertisement for my free Closest to Cash training. 😂 I run an ad for the training, and it's basically the ONLY thing I do on social media these days because, you know . . . I'm busy working on my own business. Someone commented on the ad, "Well, it should be free." I replied, "It is free." Then they came back with something like, "Yeah, but I'm sure it leads to some big offer you're trying to sell." And that's when I stopped responding. Because YES, of course I sell things. This is a BUSINESS! The money my business earns pays my rent and buys my food. It pays for software, webinars, trainings, retreats, contractors, and all the other things that allow me to keep helping more people. The funniest part was that this person was spending their time scrolling Facebook and criticizing how somebody ELSE runs their business . . . . . . on an ad for a training specifically designed to teach people to stop wasting time and focus on the activities that make money. YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP. Meanwhile, I'm over here making $30K months. I'm not scrolling around investigating whether strangers on the internet are selling something. I've got work to do, baby. 😘 And THAT is the entire point of Closest to Cash. People who earn the big bucks focus on BIG actions. They start conversations, follow up, make offers, talk to the people most likely to buy, and sell life-changing transformations instead of hiding behind endless little admin tasks. I don't gatekeep that strategy because somebody hasn't paid me thousands of dollars. I teach the SAME strategies in my free trainings that I teach my paying clients. Because information isn't the problem. IMPLEMENTATION is the problem. You can watch 900 free trainings and change absolutely nothing.

✅ You create the course. ✅ Upload the videos. ✅ Write the sales page. Then quietly place it on your website and wait for strangers to discover it while money rolls into your account forever. That's the passive-income dream. And during Thursday’s free Power Hour, we're holding a funeral for the fantasy version of it. 🪦 Because passive income is real. But a passive BUSINESS is not. Your digital products still need: 🔥 Marketing 🔥 Traffic 🔥 Visibility 🔥 Customer support 🔥 Optimization 🔥 Repeated selling You can't create something once, never talk about it again, refuse to interact with your audience, and expect it to magically grow into a 6-figure business. Because sometimes “I only want passive income” ACTUALLY means: ❌ “I don't want to sell.” ❌ “I don't want to hear no.” ❌ “I don't want to show my face.” ❌ “I don't want to lead.” ❌ “I don't want to talk to the people I'm supposed to help.” You do NOT have to coach on Zoom or copy my business model. You could offer asynchronous coaching, consulting, audits, personalized feedback, intensives, services, or another kind of active support. But you DO need to become willing to show up, solve meaningful problems, and lead people toward meaningful results. That is exactly what we're talking about during: The One-Offer Rescue Plan: Stop Creating and Sell What You Already Have 🗓️ Date: Thursday, July 16 ⏰ Time: 9:00 am Pacific 📍 Location: Live ONLY inside our free LEAP Skool Group I'll be shaking you by the shoulders, slapping your across the face, and giving you a huge kick in the booty! (uh, just metaphorically 😘) Because another tiny product isn't going to rescue your business while you keep avoiding the offer that could actually change someone’s life. You don't need to give up on passive income, but you do need to give up on the fantasy that your business can grow while YOU stay passive. See you Thursday!
