Wanna be a deserving person's SECRET SANTA? ...and brighten up their holiday season? I'm not 100% sure how it would work yet... But if I did a SECRET SANTA CONTEST... Where I'd send someone deserving, but in need of some help.... Someone YOU select a $500 Amazon gift card or cash... (Your name kept SECRET - AKA Secret Santa.) Would you be down? I'm lobbing this out there... Prolly need to think it thru some mo... But... I'm thinking... ...you buy Rooting For Ya $2.99 for Kindle Pre-order Now for release on Black Friday. $20 for paperback available now. (Outside US, search on Amazon for Rooting For Ya.) Then... You post your FAVORITE quote from the book. From which I will pick a winner. (maybe at random)... And if YOU win... I will send an Amazon Gift card (or cash) to anyone you wish for $500. YOUR NAME would be kept secret - AKA Secret Santa! I thought about this on my first cup of coffee... So maybe I'm not thinking it thru all the way? 👉But would you want to be someone's SECRET SANTA? 👇

Travis mentioned using a "throw away" Skool group for running an auction. Perfectly good idea. Here's another... Create a free group. Bring people in for the auction. Make the offer something that solves an immediate problem. Run the auction and have a blast. Collect the monies. THEN... What's the next problem those bidders have? Open a paid tier in the group and invite them to stick around and solve that next problem. I'm setting this up and running it for a few partners as well as my own group. Even better if a partner has a free group and doesn't know how to monetize it. Run an auction and invite people to the paid tier.

I don't agree with a lot of tech start-up ideas (especially 9-9-6) but this has been true for me as well... Apparently there's a saying... "First time founders start with product. Second time founders start with distribution." Finding people to give you their product is pretty easy. It's less easy (but still doable) to find distribution. So I find it best to start with distribution and then plug in products.

@Ryan Carruthers didn't wanna work his bootie off... So he had his PARTNER do most of the work by running a TWIST on the Pop Up Auction. Ryan got HALF (£3300) just for... 👉Giving the client the Pop Up Auction Idea 👉5 Drop-dead easy emails 👉and a 2 Page G Doc Ryan's client had so much fun and asked, "When can we do it again?" The partner had fun. The partner's subscribers had a BLAST! Ryan had fun and pocketed a decent chunk with very little sweat! 👉I just interviewed Ryan and I am releasing it as a weekend BONUS gift. (SEE ATTACHED VIDEO) If you've purchased the Destroy a Bill with a Pop Up Auction training in the classroom. The 5 emails, the 2 Page G Doc and MORE Ryan used are ALSO waiting for you! Ryan may never do a regular email campaign again! 😆 Rooting For Ya, Travis PS I gave Ryan tips to double or triple the money collected on the next auction! PPS If you can sleep tonight after being blown away by the TWIST Ryan made, you're a better Ronin than I am!! 😆

Hey guys 👋 I could use a bit of brainpower here. After months of chasing, I finally found what looked like a solid partner for a beamer deal. We agreed on a 20% split, and I’d test his Skool group + Facebook group for his $1,000 offer. On paper, the numbers looked great:👉 Skool group — 1,500 members👉 Facebook group — 40,000 members The problem? The groups feel kinda… dead. 🪦Not much is happening. Both his posts and posts from others barely get any engagement — hardly any likes, comments, or activity. His best Skool post got around 13 comments. Not exactly fireworks. I ran a couple of polls to test the waters: - On Facebook, I used slightly longer copy to filter out the more serious folks. - In the Skool group, I kept it short and punchy to spark more responses. Results? 📊 Skool: 4 responses 📊 Facebook: 8 responses I didn’t do any warm-up or “presell” posts before dropping the polls. So now I’m wondering: 1. Is it better to warm up the group with some presell content first, or does that not really matter? 2. Or are these groups just too old/low quality for a poll to make any difference anyway? Here’s the Skool copy I used 👇 What if the next 30 days brought in more revenue and clients than your last 6 months? Ever feel like you're doing everything right... but stuck in quicksand? You see other coaches, some who aren't even as good as you, scaling to $100k, $500k/month. Meanwhile you're stuck having the same "I'll think about it" conversations on repeat. Lead costs doubled. Same revenue month after month. You're smart. You work hard. So what gives? Here's what I've learned after 6,000+ coaches and $100M in high-ticket coaching sales: If you're stuck between $10k-$1M/month, it's always one of four choke points. I can spot which one is strangling your business in about 10 minutes. This week I’m doing something different… A 60-min Zoom call where you screen-share your business. I spot the choke point. We fix it live, rewrite hooks, restructure your offer, reorganize systems — whatever it takes to get you unstuck and scale… FAST.
