Launch Day Lessons - Mentor Memo #1
What's up everyone, Day one of The Mentorship is behind us, and I wanted to share what actually happened - the real story. My first Mentor Memo... Expect these weekly. Let me know how you like them. How does it feel to launch to a new audience? A new product? A different approach? Launch day felt like standing naked in Times Square 🤣 Every imperfection was magnified in my own head. That one course section could be clearer. The story sequene, was it good enough? The pricing strategy I second-guessed. This is probably happening for you too. With enough repetition and experience, I know I should always launch the 'shitty' MVP (minimal viable product). This was the case with my first company Setter Academy, the second one, the third which was a software business, and yeah... my consulting and mentorship. You just need to start and get proof of concept. Why work months on something people might not even want to buy? Please don't! Everyone has an internal critic, but you should not listen to it. So here's what I'll leave you with.. You can't improve what doesn't exist. Every iteration I've made to The Advisory (1-on-1) consulting came from real conversations with real clients. I've changed it from one call, to 1 month, to now a full quarter minimum, which is what I'll stick with for now, no promises though 🫣 All of this from experience, what works, what sells, but also what gets the best outcome for my clients? And a call just wasn't enough to get them results, at least, the results that would impact them. The best parts of The Mentorship content came from problems I actually helped people solve, so this will continue to get so much more valuable over time. You listen, shape your own, and implement. Your course, program, mentorship, product - whatever - your 1.0 is never meant to be perfect. Those of you who joined me? You're not getting a finished product. You're getting something better - you're getting to shape what this becomes. Your questions will become new content. Your challenges will become case studies. Your wins will become the proof that validates everything we're building here.
