I used to sell information products and business coaching packages focusing on strategy. Over time, it did get me down. I knew so much more was possible, and I wasn't helping people the way I really wanted. We'd come up with a killer strategy, and then people wouldn't do it. Or they'd do it, but it didn't get the results we hoped for. It led to one of many mid-life crises. "What am I doing with my life?" I started working with a business coach, and discovered how transformational the coaching aspect could be. Slowly, I stopped selling information and started helping people discover the resilience and resources within themselves. I started facilitating the kind of deep, lasting change I'd always knew was possible, but couldn't reach before. These days, I sprinkle the information in sparingly. I focus on experience, reflection, insight provocation. If you're still in the business of selling information, it might help to keep these things in mind: #1 - A pure intention to help is more powerful than you know. People can feel it when you care, and it makes a difference. #2 - You never know the real impact of what you sell. Hope is a force. Maybe they don't get the results, but they find the courage to keep going, or they get introduced to the next step on their journey that they never would have found without you. Because you can't know the impact, it's not worth obsessing over. For me, the greatest impact with my clients comes from the fact that I see them as whole, complete, capable. On some level, they've lost faith in themselves, and I don't buy their bullshit stories. They feel what I see, and it reminds them of the truth of who they are. I love watching people come alive to their own awesomeness and the simple joy of being human.

Welcome and well done. 🤗

I have a welcome email, but not a sequence. I think it's a good idea because you can intentionally introduce people to what's on offer and invite them in right away. Then they don't have to wait for the right match daily email.

Congratulations, @Tom Grundy ! 🔥🔥🔥

I'm late to this party, but here's my response anyway. As for how much physical money there is in the world, I suppose there is a finite amount, meaning it's a zero-sum game. You get some, I can't have it. Except as people point out, we can manufacture money, create credit and debt, as desired. So...maybe there is an unlimited supply in some sense, or at least it's not fixed. What's more interesting to me is thinking about the energy of money, which is the energy of exchange. This is truly and absolutely unlimited. There are as many ways to create and receive value as there are ideas. In other words, limitless. A friend of mine was making a killing working on Wall Street, and he hated it. What he really wanted to do was quit and do his "side hustle" of internet marketing, but he was scared. One day he was walking down the street and thought, "As long as I'm willing to help people with their problems, I can always make money." He quit the next day and never looked back. His story stuck with me because I believe it's true. If I'm willing to help people, there will always be value in helping them in terms of money and other means of exchange. I also believe that if we're willing, the ideas that occur to us to "help" will be uniquely suited to who we are and what we enjoy. If you're up for a REALLY different perspective on money, check out the book, "Love Money, Money Loves You" by Sarah McCrum. It's definitely on the spiritual woo side, but great for expanding your money possibilities.

@John Bejakovic He's been making it work and doing really well. First, working as a magician with internet marketing stuff on the side. I see him doing some very high profile gigs now. His marketing savvy really helped with the magic thing. He was great at a warm cold pitch.
