Yooo, I have invested €3,5k in a dropshipping mentor at 16, but honestly, It didn’t help me. Yo, what is up guys? I was 16 and I invested €3.5k in coaching for dropshipping. This was on the 31st of October in 2024 and the reason why I say it was worthless is because I felt like it lacked something. I felt like it lacked the personality, the personal help because you have to imagine this guy was pretty big on social media that I actually bought the dropshipping coaching from. So getting in contact with this guy was so hard, it was like so... it felt like I was not even in his program. It felt like I didn't even have the opportunity to one-on-one meet with this guy because he was so big, he was always busy with other things. I just feel like how it would change because obviously I'm not into dropshipping anymore but I just feel like I just wanted to feel like how it is to actually be able to talk to this guy. It would be so cool if he had like a digital double of himself. It would be so cool if I could just call up a number and it's literally his voice with his knowledge but even more advanced. Like that would be so cool and I really think that this could change the industry for most coaches and info business to be honest. Like what if we had something like that? What if we had a celebrity to coach us but it's just a phone number that we can call up with tailored advice from him? Obviously you will think oh but then the authenticity and the really personal stuff goes away. No because this AI has been prompted in the right way where it actually feels like and sounds like you're talking to him, talking to the celebrity. That would really just change and skyrocket my progress when I was in the coaching program. What are your opinions about this guys? Do you think this could help you take the next step when you invest into coaching?

Yoo, I was wondering right, what if we as creators had a digital double of ourselves. Something that is super authentic, feels & reflects emotion, shows empathy etc. This would be so cool, to just have a certain second version of yourself that is more knowledgeable and makes you smarter aswell. I would love this since I have a personal brand. Like what if we could have Augmented Intelligence take over our personal brands, client deliveries, acquisition systems etc Sick right! Do you have a personal brand? Here's my YouTube & Instagram

Yoo wassup guys, I’ve noticed that ai is taking over This is because people try to use artificial intelligence to replace humans We need to double down on augmented intelligence that innovates humans Enough about that, people are automating content aswell, especially in the info space, but where is the authenticity? Why is everyone copying each other? Well, it’s because people still believe that they have to ‘’follow an already proven system’’ Yeah sure, but I never wanted it to turn out where people just copy each other I actually found the solution to this How can we show our authentic edge within our content??? This is how I do it in a nutshell: 1. Funnel Approach - TOF (Awareness): Broad, human, relatable. Vlogs, raw stories, lifestyle clips → build trust & resonance. - MOF (Nurture): Problem-solving + personal stories. Show frameworks, answer questions → prove expertise. - BOF (Convert): Case studies, whiteboard breakdowns, client results → solve big pains, clear CTA to book. 2. Core Principles - Authenticity > Polish: Show real personality, leave imperfections in. - Emotional Hook: If it doesn’t make you feel, it won’t connect. - Proof → Promise → Plan: Show credibility, give a promise, then deliver insight. - 3:1 Rule: Three value posts for every direct CTA. - Professional but Human: Look sharp, but be vulnerable, funny, honest. 3. Execution (Weekly) - 7 long-form videos → 4 TOF, 2 MOF, 1 BOF. - 21 short clips repurposed (binge-worthy, punchy, story-driven).

Yoooo wassupp I have been focussing a lot on building my own business and making some money for myself, but most importantly, for my clients aswell. I wanted to attach one lesson to this post. And that is that you need to do something consistent and for a ''long'' period of time. But this is not possible if you don't improve your mindset and beliefs around it. This is my formula I guess: (M) + C + T = Success M = Mindset C = Consistency T = Time I have closed €6,5k in deals and generated my clients over €25k because of this simple formula. I have consistently been posting on YouTube and Instagram (Check Image) Here are my accounts: (I archived some videos tho) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjDdgCDfnYNHCI5CVKc2-DA/ https://www.instagram.com/pepijnverheijen_/ Keep in mind that big results take time. But it won't be possible if you consistently take action and improve your paradigm around it. Cyaaaa

If I lost everything and had to sign my first coaching client again, this is exactly what I’d do. This is how I closed a 3k deal myself Define your ICP. Be specific. Know their age, situation, pain points, bottlenecks, and the exact outcome they want. When your content speaks directly to their pain, they listen. And they trust. Pick a niche. No broad “self-improvement” stuff. Get ultra-specific. Something like “screen-time coaching for 16–30-year-old entrepreneurs.” Craft your offer. Don’t sell the process. Sell the result. Instead of “I help guys get in shape,” say “I help you get fit in 90 days so you attract your first girlfriend.” Be specific. Be outcome-driven. Build a content ecosystem across YouTube, Instagram, and Skool. Long-form value on YouTube. Proof, reels, and story highlights on Instagram. Community and nurturing on Skool. All three platforms should feed into each other. Your profiles aren’t social media—they’re landing pages. Have a clear CTA. Highlight what you do, how you do it, and results you’ve gotten. DM strategy. Give massive value in the DMs. Free advice, voice notes, looms, docs. Help people without asking for anything. People don’t pay for information. They pay for implementation, accountability, and clarity. Be helpful first. Close second. Build the trust triangle. Upfront transparency: ask if you can make an offer before the call. Effort and education: send custom looms, long messages, and actually care. Expert positioning: be the one person who clearly solves their problem. Momentum = trust flywheel. Help someone → get a testimonial → build trust → get a client → repeat. Don’t wait for paid clients to ask for testimonials. If you helped someone on a call or in the DMs, ask them to record one. This builds social proof instantly and creates momentum. On the call, ask yourself: is this person 101% ready? If yes, pitch the offer. If no, give value, walk them through a few steps, and book the second call. Before that second call, ask again for permission to pitch.
