What Does Status Mean To You?
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUQ0Up3CC_j/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== People are moved by status more than almost anything else. When opportunity is combined with status, achievement, believability, or authority, it creates a powerful mix. This process happens pre-consciously. People don’t sit there logically calculating it. They feel it first, then rationalise it later. This is where the idea of conspicuous consumption came from. Social systems were engineered to reward the visible display of status. At the core of nearly every buying decision is a simple internal question running in the background: Will this elevate my status, or will it diminish it? You can’t usually say this directly. You can’t sell “status” head-on. But the best brands understand it intuitively. Apple is a perfect example. The product works, yes, but the icon itself is a status signal. Buying feels good because it subtly increases how the buyer sees themselves and how they believe others see them. Higher status attracts more buyers. People want to buy from those they perceive as worthy partners. That association increases their own status. This is why people want to be coached by “the best coach,” even if that coach isn’t objectively the smartest or the best teacher. Being able to say “I’m learning from X” carries social weight. Every proposal, presentation, or offer triggers an unconscious mental equation. It isn’t verbal. It isn’t logical. The decision brain doesn’t use language. It reacts to primal signals. If there’s a perceived risk of status reversal, people hesitate. If there’s a strong chance of status elevation with little downside, action becomes easy. This is why improvement-based offers work best when there’s nothing to lose. Faster. Stronger. Smarter. Better. When the perceived risk to status is zero, resistance drops. An example of this kind of framing looks like this:

📌 Community Standards: Read Before Participating!!!
Welcome to The Buyer’s Mind! A community for people who want to think deeper, communicate smarter, and master the psychology behind why people buy. This group lives and dies by quality. The only way to maintain that quality is through clear standards that keep the environment sharp, focused, and genuinely valuable for everyone inside. Here’s how this community works 👇 1️⃣ Engagement Is Required (Minimum: 1 Contribution Every 14 Days) This is an engagement-first environment. Not a passive “join and drift” group. To stay active in the community, you must contribute at least once every 14 days in one of the following ways: ✔ Comment meaningfully on a discussion Add insight, perspective, or a real question.(“Nice post” or an emoji doesn’t count.) ✔ Start a thoughtful discussion Ask a question, share an insight, or break down something you’re learning. ✔ Complete a lesson or module Skool tracks this. It counts as engagement. ✔ Share an implementation win or takeaway Show that you’re applying the work. ✔ Engage with call recaps or participate live This also counts. These actions shape the community.They keep the energy alive, the thinking sharp, and the quality high. 2️⃣ What Does NOT Count as Engagement To be clear: - Likes - Emoji reactions - “Thanks” comments - Generic replies - Silent lurking - Logging in without participating These do not count toward your engagement cycle. This community is built on active thinking, not passive consumption. 3️⃣ Inactive Members Will Be Removed If a member has 0 contributions within a 14-day period: 1. They’ll receive a DM reminder to stay active. 2. If there’s no response, they’ll be removed from the community. Nothing personal, it’s about maintaining a high-quality environment for the people who show up. You can always rejoin later when you’re ready to participate. 4️⃣ Bring Value, Not Noise No spam. No shallow posts. No vague advice. No “look at me” content. Share things that: - sharpen thinking - deepen understanding - challenge assumptions - or move conversations forward

Neuroscience/Psychology/Spirituality people
it sounds like there was this common thread (which is my favorite) on this call wanted to see if anyone who is interested in these topics, and how they intertwine with business, would want to have another group call where we can talk about these principles and how we can better leverage them for income and impact!

The 3 Types of Traffic
There are only three types of traffic. 1️⃣ Traffic you control. You control traffic when you have the ability to tell it where to go. For example, when you purchase an ad on Google, you don’t own that traffic, but you do control it. By buying the ad, you decide exactly where the people who click are sent. Any form of paid traffic falls into this category. The main problem with traffic you control is that every time you want more of it, you have to spend more money. Because of that, the goal is always to send purchased traffic to a squeeze page. A squeeze page has one goal and no distractions. There is only one thing for the visitor to do. It exists for a single purpose: to convert traffic you control into traffic you own. When paid traffic is sent to a squeeze page, visitors only have two options. They either give you their email address or they leave. Some people will leave, but a percentage will give you a personal email address. Once that happens, traffic you controlled becomes traffic you own, and you can move that person through your sales sequences. 2️⃣ Traffic you don’t control. This type of traffic simply shows up. You don’t control where it came from or where it goes. For example, someone might mention your brand on Facebook, their followers search your name, and they land on a random blog page. You had no control over that chain of events. Just like traffic you control, the only goal with traffic you don’t control is to turn it into traffic you own. The way to do this is by pushing all uncontrolled traffic back to your blog. The top third of your blog can function as a modified squeeze page. When people arrive, the primary action available to them is to give you their email address. Once they do, they become traffic you own and can be placed into your communication funnels. Blog posts should be structured as modified squeeze pages to convert as much uncontrolled traffic as possible into owned traffic. 3️⃣ Traffic you own. This is the best kind of traffic.
