I Stole a Video from Aaron.
Saved it to my hard drive. Straight up. I was genuinely worried @Aaron Fletcher would get taken down and I needed it as a rewatch asset. (LaunchMAPS the section on how to build the Million Dollar Message) Back in the LaunchMaps days (the Growth Works precursor), I kept getting mentally stuck on messaging. Every time I sat down to build something, I hit the same wall. And every time, I'd rewatch that video to unstick myself. Here's what Aaron was really teaching: your messaging has to be the medicine for a bleeding neck problem, plus the real aspiration your prospect already holds. Not the unfelt need only you can see. Not the vitamin they don't know they need. The medicine. The bleeding neck. The aspiration they already want. That sounds simple. It is simple. But push hard to actually find it for your specific prospect, and it pays out year after year. Example from last month and why I'm here grateful. A very savvy client of mine used these fundamentals in a cold email to a $1B company founder. The founder engaged. That thread turned into a $35k/month advisory role. One cold email. One clean message. Built on the exact thing Aaron hammers on in that video. This is why I'm a broken record about nailing this layer first. Once you have it, you can start stacking books like The Challenger Sale and Value Based Fees to take conversations further. Those are extensions, not substitutes. Get the Growth Works offer right first. Everything else builds on that.
