I just watched the September Skool winnersā recordings, and hereās everything I learned:
Data Over Guesswork
If you want to stop spinning your wheels, start with data. Before you try something new, know your numbers. Whatās your click-to-close rate? How well is your current approach working? Without measuring, youāre just gambling with your business.
Simplicity Is Hard, but Essential
Tim Cook said the biggest lesson he learned from Steve Jobs was the relentless pursuit of simplicity. Making things simple is the hardest task, but itās where the real value is. Complexity kills execution. Strip away the unnecessary. Focus on what matters.
The Framework for Growth
- Start Something: Give away value for free. Let people experience what you offer without barriers.
- Do More of It: When you find whatās working, double down. Consistency over novelty.
- Make It Better: Identify the holes and fix them. Augment your offer based on feedback and results.
- Make It Reliable: Systematize your processes. Create routines that produce consistent outcomes.
- Expand: Once itās reliable, scale it or add something new. Then repeat the cycle.
This isnāt a one-time loop; itās the perpetual motion machine of successful businesses.
Consistency Beats Intensity
Your business isnāt consistent because youāre not consistent. Success isnāt about grand gestures; itās about daily discipline. Show up every day, do the work, and the results will follow.
Repeat What Works
Iāve been running paid ads for 13 years. Hereās what Iāve learned: spend 80% of your time repeating what works. Stop chasing shiny objects. Use proven hooks and angles. Refine them, but donāt abandon them.
Effective Marketing Hooks
⢠Bold Offers: āThis is a Cybertruck worth $100K. Someone watching will win it in the next 30 days.ā
⢠Direct Value: āDrop your email, and Iāll send you $1,000 worth of free resources.ā
⢠Attention Grabbers: Use unexpected visuals or statements to hook your audience in the first three seconds.
Prioritize Ruthlessly
⢠Question Every Requirement: Is this task essential?
⢠Delete the Unnecessary: Cut out whatās not adding value.
⢠Optimize the Necessary: Make whatās important work better.
⢠Speed Up Execution: Time is a competitive advantage.
⢠Automate: Use systems to handle repetitive tasks.
Focus your teamās energy on high-impact activities. Get the best people working on what moves the needle.
Think Long-Term
Short-term tactics give you short-term results. Building a brand takes timeāthink in years, not weeks. Most people wonāt stick it out, which is exactly why you should.
Relentless Improvement
Like a long-living turtle species that focuses on repairing over mutating, your business should prioritize fixing errors over chasing the next big thing. Longevity comes from continuous improvement.
Final Thoughts
Stop guessing. Start measuring. Simplify aggressively. Be consistent. Focus on proven strategies, and think long-term. Thatās how you winānot just this month, but for years to come.
