To say I’m excited it an understatement! I have a client who wanted me to start running Facebook Ads for them, but I’ve NEVER ran an Ad before in my life, so how can I charge them for a service that I cannot do? MASSIVE IMPOSTER SYNDROME!!!! I’ve been quiet this last couple of weeks as I’ve been head down, bum up fully immersed in Sir Jeff’s Facebook Ads Course and I tell ya, if you follow what he teaches, it WILL work! The customer would only commit to an Ad Budget of $15 per day, which is not ideal so I explained why it should be higher etc etc but they wouldn’t budge so I thought, “What ta heck, let’s just DO IT!” Nervous… He’ll yeh! Confident…. Double hell yeh, if others can do it, why can’t I???? The first ads campaign started last Wednesday as I followed the rules of not starting on a Monday or Tuesday. The $15 Adspend was hit and the ads paused. Good, it did what it was supposed to do except the next day, the ads didn’t start again then on Friday, ChatGPT found the problem for me…. With new accounts, FB automatically stops campaigns after the Daily Adspend is reached so you have to delete the campaign stop (not sure what you call it) and then on Friday, it started again… (As ChatGPT told me, “trap for new players”…. Saturday 9pm, a Plumber booked a call with my client and she closed him today at $350 per month subscription to her local publication. Amount Spent: $61.33LTV of the client? If they stay 10 months, that would = $3,500 Outlay $61.33, make $3,500…. Now to ask the client, “How many $3,500’s would you like? My revenue AUD$750 on the 1st and 15th of each month + the first month’s subscription for each sale ($350) and 10% ($35 per month) ongoing commission when the client’s customer keeps paying. Thanks Jeff for an awesome course! Landing Page: https://coffeenewsaustralia.com.au/gc_plumber Thankyou Page: https://coffeenewsaustralia.com.au/thankyou_gc_plumber

Sharing a win and a reminder to trust your gut when something feels off. I've had a Facebook ad campaign running for the last few days. The goal was landing page views, and we racked up 317 of them over three days. The problem? Absolutely zero CTAs. Not a single one. I knew something wasn't right. So I stopped the campaign to rethink the strategy. I went back to the drawing board and switched the ad format to a lead form. The result? Within 10 minutes of the new ad going live, we had our first high ticket lead! And a couple of hours later, we've got another 5. It's a great feeling when a change in strategy pays off so quickly. Winning!

Recently joined CEO Labs. Wow, I'm blown away at the quality of people and the high level (no pun intended) of information and sharing in their Skool community. I'm excited to be part of this rapidly swelling wave. I'm a retired Wall Street guy and have been spending lots of time learning everything I can about AI. Started last year trying to better understand the affiliate marketing and agency consulting. Glad I found GHL and look forward to implementing AI Employee. Thanks for letting me be part of this! Looking forward to getting to know y’all.

In 1953, Edmund Hillary didn't start at the mountain. He started on a road out of Kathmandu, walking toward something he couldn't yet see. The trail to Base Camp took weeks. Swaying bridges, steep ridges, heavy loads through heat and rain and thin air. Progress was slow. Some days were strong. Others just wore a man down to the bone. I know something about that kind of walk. It took me twelve years to lose a hundred pounds. I didn't start at the peak of anything not confidence, not clarity. I started far from where I wanted to be, carrying more than just weight. There were habits to break. Discouragement that followed me like weather. Long stretches without direction or anybody beside me saying "Woodard's never quit!" Some years I made real progress. Pounds falling away like supplies lightened on the trail. Other times I gained it back slipping down the same path I'd worked so hard to climb. That felt like failure. It felt like losing ground. But mountaineers don't climb Everest in one straight push. They move up, come back down, rest, and go again. That isn't defeat. That's just how hard mountains work. Hillary faced the Khumbu Icefall, unstable and shifting, liable to swallow a man whole. I faced mine too. Doubt. Comparison. The quiet question that showed up at three in the morning: why am I even doing this? He had a team beside him. I often didn't. The terrain of everyday life; stress, kids, work, heart surgery, brutal divorce, stroke. Setbacks that rose up like ridges that never seemed to end. But I kept walking. Twelve years is a long trek. It's blistered feet and heavy breathing and starting over more times than I can count. Yet step by step, even with detours and long descents back into old habits, I moved forward. Losing a hundred pounds wasn't one victorious moment. It was thousands of small decisions made when I was tired and discouraged and not at all sure it was worth it. The real triumph wasn't the weight left behind on the trail. It was finding out I could endure the climb and I am hard to kill.

Hey yall. I’ve been a bit absent recently but I wanted to share my most recent win. Over the past 7 days I’ve done 1 in person speaking event and 1 webinar and between the two we’ve closed about 35k MRR (which beats Jeff’s previous record of 31k in a week👀) The one-to-many slides Jeff posted a couple weeks ago were A GAME CHANGERRRRR. If you’re running any sort of one to many speaking event please use them, they saved me so much time and clearly work well. I’m super excited to see the fruits of my labor that I’ve been putting in for almost 2 years. Everything gets more fun when you actually start seeing results, so for those of you out there who are grinding every day, I promise you it gets easier if you stick with it. Do not quit. Special thanks to @Jeff Lopez and @Charles Guerra for pouring so much knowledge into me and this group for so long, I would not be here without them. Keep crushing everyone, it’s only up from here!
