Hi troopers. I wanted to ask a question about having the cameras on or off when we meet online. What would you prefer? I am interested in finding out your preference and opinions since I am starting the Tuesday calls up again. Please also tell my WHY when you give your opinion so that I can understand your preference a little better. Thanks for your replies 👍

...so I found this exercise "What's Cool About YOU" that's going to make you WAY more interesting to talk to. Seriously. I got this from Sean Stephenson (the three-foot-tall giant, may he rest in peace)... ....and it's called "What's Cool About You?" Here's the deal... ...when we meet people in Skool communities, we do the boring stuff: "I'm a course creator" or "I run a marketing agency" or whatever. YAWN. 🥱 But what if you could share the WEIRD, COOL, RANDOM stuff about yourself that actually makes people go "Wait, WHAT? Tell me more about that!" That's what this exercise does. It helps you remember (and share) the stuff you've done or experienced that you normally wouldn't mention... but which opens the door to WAY deeper, more fun, and more intellectual conversations. ...because let's be honest... nobody remembers the person who said "I do Facebook ads." But they DEFINITELY remember the person who said "I once trained myself to become #3 in the world at footbag" or "I have a street dog in India named Scooby who's in charge of 12th Road." 😂 HERE'S THE EXERCISE: Write down everything that's COOL, WEIRD, INTERESTING, or UNIQUE about YOU. Not your business accomplishments (boring). YOUR life accomplishments. YOUR quirks. YOUR stories. Some examples to get you started: - "I was a vegetarian for 25 years" (then went back to eating meat like a savage) - "At twelve years old, I won a silver medal in sailing in the Norwegian championship" - "I became one of the biggest party promoters in San Francisco" - "I pet or talk to ALL dogs I meet on the street... because I know they need love" - "I was in the Army and became the second-best dog handler... with a BRAND NEW dog that had never been trained" (the winner had a dog that had been there for 6 years... just saying 😏) Or maybe you've got stuff like: - "I can solve a Rubik's cube in under 2 minutes" (okay, that's not impressive, but if it's under 30 seconds, NOW we're talking) - "I once ate 47 tacos in one sitting" (don't judge me) - "I taught myself to play ukulele during lockdown and now I annoy everyone at parties" - "I lived in a van for 6 months and loved every second of it" - "I can name every country in the world in under 5 minutes" (nerd alert)

...PS (yes, I know the "PS" came a Tad Early in this post)... but I am currently READING the "80/20 Sales And Marketing" book by Perry Marshall, right NOW! Hey everyone! Quick question for you... How many of you know about the 80/20 principle? And more importantly, are you actually using it in your business? Let me tell you something: the 80/20 principle is almost as powerful as compound interest. Almost. And if you're NOT using it in your online business, you're leaving serious money on the table. What Does 80/20 Actually Mean? Here it is in simple terms: 80% of your results come from just 20% of your efforts. ....in your business!!! ....this means 20% of your customers generate 80% of your sales! .....that's where the gold is buried! A Simple Example: Let's say you have 100 customers: - 20 customers (the top 20%) might be spending $500/month each = $10,000 - 80 customers (the remaining 80%) might be spending $25/month each = $2,000 See the difference? Those 20 customers are giving you 5X more revenue than the other 80 combined! The Secret Sauce: Going Deeper (80/20 Squared) Here's where it gets really powerful. Once you identify that golden 20%, do it again. ......take your top 20% and treat THAT as your new 100%. Then find the top 20% within that group. Real-world example: - You identify 20 top customers (20% of 100) - Now analyze those 20 and find the top 4 customers (20% of 20) - These 4 customers are your super fans - they might represent 64% of your total revenue! The Big Mistake Most Entrepreneurs Make: Focusing on the 80% to only get 20% of the results. ....that's like spending all day watering weeds instead of your prize-winning roses. It's exhausting and unprofitable. ...instead, flip it: Focus on the 20% that gives you 80% - then double down on serving them even better. Conclusion: Your Turn to Share! The 80/20 principle can transform your online business overnight. But knowledge without action is just entertainment.
