Still processing this... we just hit over $8,000 in sales in a single day. Honestly, I keep staring at the numbers like "is this real?" This isn't just about the money. It's every late night, every doubt, every small step that got us here. And it's every single person who believed in what I'm building. To everyone who's ordered, shared, or cheered me on — thank you. You made this possible. This is just one milestone, and I'm not getting ahead of myself. But today I'm letting myself feel grateful and motivated. Here's to what's next. 🙏

After analysing a lot of marketing materials, I noticed one thing the best ones have in common. *They decrease the pain of action* Taking action always has pain, such as, Paying money. Changing habits. Doing the work. And your audience feels that pain before they ever buy. So your marketing can’t just focus on benefits, it must ease their pain and fear of taking action. Show them how easy, safe, and guided the process will be with your product/ services. Communicate how you’ll remove confusion, risk, or overwhelm. Show them how you’ll help them win faster and with less effort in your marketing. When you communicate the pain of taking action feels smaller than the pain of staying the same, they'll make their move. That’s when conversion happens. I hope this was helpful.

It's officially been a month since starting Jesus Driven Business, a faith-based skool community for entrepreneurs. Since then, we've grown to over 150 members, engagement has steadily increased, and over half of this community has requested one-on-one help with their business model. Through this journey, I've learned that when you build something of value for people who need it, they show up. That being said, this is just the beginning, and more courses, lives, and coaching calls need to be had in order for this community to have the lasting impact I'm striving for. Admins are needed, other coaches are needed, and in due time, more testimonials will come. The road to a successful community and business is a marathon, not a sprint. I know that, and I thank God for the amazing start. 🙏🏾 P.S.: The first course (intro to starting a business is live now, everything from identifying who you are and your ideal business model, all the way to crafting your offer and setting up the LLC and bank account for payments. Check it out if you haven't already, and let me know what you think.

Let's get to know each other! Share a post about what kind of business you have, how long you've been an entrepreneur, and something you're hoping to get from this community. I'll start: Name: Javon IG: https://www.instagram.com/javondupree/ Business: Online Marketing and Coaching Experience: Entrepreneur for 18 years, marketing & coaching for 6 years Hope: To help make building a successful business simple for everyone I look forward to meeting you!
