You guessed it, the audio didn't pick up. *15 minutes of me discussing my 6 months of research *My total rebrand and why *The self-imposed challenge that I shoved out the window today, and well, I'll be writing about it over in Substack if you want the details. Good How and Why content for the newsletter, and especially good for the educational Content I'll be putting in the upgraded portion of my community. I guess the video just wasn't meant to be, or are the platform's gods already messing with the tech because I canceled? P.S. Oh, the website is down, I DELETED IT. It isn't a tech issue.

Ever wonder how the richest people in the world keep getting richer without working 100 hours a week? I get it, many of them do work 100 hours per week, but play along. It’s not because they are smarter than you. It’s because they use a formula called Positive Arbitrage. That sounds like a big, scary word, but it’s actually so simple that a 4th grader can understand it. (tested in at an elementary school just for this post.) If you want to move from "struggling coach" to "business owner," this is the only formula that matters, and I'm finally focusing on it. 🍎 The 4th Grade Version: The Borrowed Apple Imagine you go to your neighbor, Tim, and ask to borrow $1. You promise to pay him back $1.05 tomorrow. You take that $1, walk to the store, and buy a big bag of apples. You sell those apples to your friends for $2.00. At the end of the day: 1. You pay Tim back his $1.05. 2. You keep the 95 cents left over. That "leftover" money is Positive Arbitrage. You used a resource (money) to create a "spread." You didn't use your own dollar; you used "The Spread" to create wealth out of thin air. 🏦 How the Wealthy Use This Rich people don't just work for hourly wages. They borrow money at a low interest rate (like 5%) and invest it in assets that grow faster (like 10% or more). They also use Time Arbitrage. They "borrow" today’s dollars and pay them back years later with "tomorrow's dollars," which are worth less because of inflation. It’s like borrowing a full chocolate bar today and only having to pay back half a chocolate bar in ten years! 🧠 How YOU Can Use This (Even if You Haven't Sold Anything Yet!) If you’re just starting out, you might not have money to borrow yet. But you have something even better: Time and Effort. The secret to coaching success is Asset Arbitrage. You "spend" your effort once to create an asset that pays you back forever. Here is how you build your "Spread Machine": - The VSL (Video Sales Letter): Spend 5 hours recording one great video. That video "works" for you 24/7, pitching your offer to thousands of people while you sleep. You spent 5 hours once; it pays you back in hundreds of hours of saved sales calls. - - The Digital Product/Course: Record your best advice once. Now, you can sell it to 100 people for the same amount of work it took to teach 1 person. That is a massive "spread" on your energy. - - The Book or Lead Magnet: Write a PDF or a short book. It lives on the internet forever. It "borrows" readers' attention today and turns them into clients tomorrow, without you being present. - - The Podcast or YouTube Channel: Record an episode today. Two years from now, someone finds it and joins your Skool community. You are using Time Arbitrage—your past work is earning you "future dollars."

But in the meantime, I'll try putting together a new post or video explaining everything I researched to make this decision. Sort of a big, risky idea to pursue. Details tomorrow.

After 30 years in the coaching world, I’ve learned that the biggest breakthroughs don't happen in busy newsfeeds—they happen in focused implementation. I’m moving my energy away from hosting a Skool group so I can pour it into building out the definitive Legacy Vault for professionals over 50. I’m not leaving Skool. I’ll still be hanging out in other communities—but I’m closing this room to eliminate the noise. The Plan Forward: - The New Hub: All my writing and strategy deep dives are moving to Substack. You can join us for free (or upgrade for the full experience) here: coachingjumpstart.substack.com/subscribe - The Legacy Vault: I’m currently building the members' area at coachjumpstart.com. Over the next 6 weeks, I’ll be filling the Vault with the blueprints to turn your wisdom into a profitable asset. - The Exclusive Cap: To keep the quality high, I’m only accepting 500 members total into the Vault. - DWY Coaching: For those who want me in the trenches with them, I’m limiting my 'Done-With-You' coaching to just 2-3 spots per month. Thank you for being part of this stage. Let’s go build something that lasts. Jim

I've used Grok since Day One, and at the highest level, I asked a simple question and got this, which has never happened to me: 😜Sorry about that, something didn't go as planned. Please try again, and if you're still seeing this message, go ahead and restart the app.😕 Is Grok unhappy with how people are using it? LOL The "new fad" is to use Grok to find clients/your target market on Grok, and then message those people. 👉It's the new, bright, shiny object that someone turned into a "pay me monthly to teach you what can be taught in 3 minutes" group. After restarting the app a couple of times... I asked: "You ok, Grok?" Same reply. Grok may be calling out sick for the day.
