Hey folks! I'm finally recharged after last week's incredible experience with many of you. Thanks so much for your dedication and commitment to spending 14+ hours with me! Here are a few details that should address most of your questions related to next steps... CERTIFICATION EXAM As of now, we intend to open the exam the week of January 8th. There is no deadline for passing, you just need to score 85% or better to unlock the badge and certificate. From now until then, I recommend going through the Certification replay videos located HERE in this group. NOTE: For each section/day, there are additional deep dive resources that can be found on the slides we've provided in PDF format. And if you want to catch up and become certified, you can still do so HERE. You'll get lifetime access to the replays and exam. JANUARY 8 WEEK INTENSIVE If you're looking for a very hands on, intensive experience to complete your marketing system (offer, messaging, product, assets, funnel and more...) please watch the attached video to see if this 8 week intensive is right for you. (Thanks heaps @Penny Chohaili for the great overview)... This program kicks off on january 9th. IMPORTANT: This won't be a passive course or training experience - you'll be expected to submit your work and complete weekly assignments (this is a good thing if you tend to procrastinate like I do)! You can sign up for this program go HERE to register. Thanks so much to all for trusting us to help you reach your goals (and those of your clients). The world needs talented and ethical experts like you! Happy Holidays! --Aaron and the Growthworks Team

Hey folks - just a quick but IMPORTANT reminder: All that matters is that you start! Let me explain... In March of 2012 I made this riveting video you see here :) I was driving 2 hours each way to a job (I had to get up at like 5:00AM to beat Bay Area traffic).. The only upside was I had 4 hours a day to listen to podcasts... Freedom Ocean with my now friend James Schramko, I Love Marketing with Joe Polish and Dean Jackson, SPI with Pat Flynn, May Wolfe, the list goes on! But each night I would greet my wife, have dinner together and then work from 7:00PM to as late as 1:00AM devouring courses, books and podcasts related to digital marketing... (I started doing this in 2009 - 4 years before I had the courage to publish this YouTube video) Actually our honeymoon in August of 2009 planted the seed for my wife Liz and I to pursue a life of more freedom - while working in San Francisco from around 2005-2008 I would read business 2-3 growth books each week riding the BART train, but I still believed I could never actually quit my day job - that level of success was for other people... Between 2009 and 2012 I was lucky enough to land a handful of consulting clients - mostly lawyers. My background as VP of sales for Nolo.com afforded me with enough credibility and knowledge to provide SEO and web design services for this niche... I was making a whopping $6K per month! So around April of 2012 I said F*@K it and quit...(I actually got fired because I went to a friend's wedding on the east coast without telling my boss - sorry Andy!)... I was terrified! We had a 3 month old daughter and I had like $5K in the bank - this was our complete net worth! The only good news: there was no safety net. I learned and optimized Google Ads, figured out how to run one of the first ever webinar campaigns on Facebook Ads... I took 3-5 sales calls per day and enrolled 1-2 clients (thankfully these firms paid us 2-5K per month)... All the while I consistently invested in courses, coaching, events - anything to get better at marketing and business...

Just started using the tool and it's freaking amazing. Thanks so much Team Fletcher!

Thanks so much for everyone who showed up to yesterday's Growthworks AI launch session. A few notes from me: 1) I have NEVER witnessed such an overwhelmingly positive response to a product (in any industry). While we may seem like we have it together on the "front stage", the "backstage" is filled with stress, doubt and uncertainty. Seeing so many people support and LOVE what we do makes me and the WHOLE GROWTHWORKS TEAM feel validated and excited to go even faster! 2) Tomorrow I will publish the replay video (check your email). If you weren't able to access the live session - I apologize! I've never had a Zoom session exceed capacity. And to be direct, usually 40% of the folks who register show up live so I didn't think this would be an issue. NOTE: if you didn't sign up for the live session, we will send the replay or so another live Zoom call soon. The reasons we are making the AI platform available to those who registered is because we have opened up 200 licenses for now. This is is to ensure we can onboard, support and monitor tech issues. If you are interested - don't worry we will be adding more users in the following weeks to come! Thanks again on behalf of our team - I really appreciate you all and am honored to serve you. Check your email tomorrow :) --Aaron
