[ROAST MY LESSON]: updated repost from old community Why do people waste money on tech? Because they don't know what technology is for. Every tech exists for one purpose: to optimize a process. That is the case for both archaic tools like hammers, shovels and Excel to also all the modern AI software and smart devices we're seeing launching everyday. You use a shovel to optimize the process of diging, the same way you use many of your tools to optmize the process of not having to keep up with things on paper. So process is key. If you don't have clarity on your process, or if it is not good, than a specific tool will not solve any problem. You will just spend money on something that you don't even know what is for because you were attracted by the shiny object. A mistake made both by single people and big corporations. Overlooking the process and focusing on the tools is the biggest mistake for both IT professionals and those who hire them. Knowing how to see a process with clarity is the most important skill of any person working in tech and what also differenciates people who are succeeding with AI from those who are going to be left behind. Every tool has it's downsides and every software is flawed. But more often than not, when you fail at a project, the problem is not on the tool or the platform you're using, but on lack of planning and proper management. - Automating your sales process is useless without having a great offer - Launching a paid traffic campaign is a waste of money if you don't know where your potential clients are and how to talk to them - A fancy landingpage will not bring you any results without a clear communication and a great CTA - Implementing a CRM won't do anything for you if you don't know how to analyse data and get feedback on your clients in order to continuously improve your process at each new one - Selling a vibe coded app without knowledge on software engeneering and general development processes is a guaranteed disaster.

It's a lead magnet - delivered by skool. so i get their email and free membership when they hit my about page. the lead magnet is the AVATAR CHOOSER tool. its a pdf, short video and class. ideally, i get their email. then this gets them into my ecosystem of building their biz. The invite is to call me to work over their results which is an opportunity to upsell maybe, but 100% to over deliver on value. if they stop and don't' upsell, how can i make it better? if they will eventually upsell, how do i entice that strongly/well? https://www.skool.com/halcyon-land-5118/classroom/0c6893d4?md=2733abd957e34726807c0cf318138390

[ROAST MY LESSON] Expanding a little on the subject on today's poll, this is a deep subject that I was talking to @Aimee Jardon in her community. Most people think that perfectionism is a positive thing. It's the cliche answer you give to the HR in a job interview when they ask you what your biggest flaw is. "Oh I loose too much time in the details, I got to make everything perfect." But beyond the cliches, this is indeed a flaw that can damage our career, our relationships and even our spiritual evolution. Not just a quircky thing you tell recruiters. A lot of people confuse perfectionism with diligence and caring. They are diferent things. The problem of perfectionists is not being able to tolerate flaws, not wanting to be perceived as flawed and being afraid of failing. And all of that is paralysing. You can spend hours and hours wanting to reach the most perfect result you can get, because you're diligent and realy care about your craft, and that's great. But if you're afraid of failure and obsessed with achieving absolute success, to the point of scraping and giving up on taking action, than that's a problem. It takes courage to suck at something, to face negative feedback, to see the flaws in our craft and learn from our mistakes, to realize we're not as good as we thought we were, but that's the only way we can grow. How many times did we ditch a great opportunity because we were afraid of being perceived as not enough? If we go deeper into philosophical / religious territory, wanting to be perfect (or even being perceived as perfect) is a fatal sin in itself. It's what caused the fall of Lucifer. The fallen angel wanted to be in the place of God, the only perfect being. The refusal of accepting our own flaws is a sickness of our ego. Being diligent is not being being afraid of flaws, being a perfectionist is. It's a sin derivated from vanity, and one that we all have to face and fight inside ourselves.

Submitting the finale for roasting! What I tried to do: answer the question "is it appropriate to be wildly successful" on camera with full confidence and no qualifier. State it as earned confidence backed by a track record. Then close the whole 17-day series and the idea that your rising lifts everyone behind you. What I know: I should put more cuts and disruptors and words on screen, and more...but I am trying to do a video a day for a year. It's a HUGE lift. Until I budget for someone else to edit them for me, I am going to have to do this all myself. So, what I am really seeking is the answer to whether the information matches my avatars in terms of what they will be seeking - remember, they are my age-ish - 40-60's. We don't need jump cuts as long as the information is excellent. My avatars: The Burned-Out Professional The Underearning Network Marketer The Coach or Creator Without a Backend The Career-Driven Stay-at-Home Parent The Creative Professional The Conscious Investor As always, thank you for your time and experitise.

First, I have taken almost every bit of feedback I have received in here and made one subtle adjustment in every video. I think you will see some changes you recommended! Title: "You Aren't Stuck. You Are Living in the Wrong Narrative." Day 10 of my daily 17-day personal development series. What I'm unsure about: - I use a clip from The Matrix (the red pill/blue pill choice) to illustrate the concept instead of just describing it. Worth it, or does the tonal shift feel off? - I anchor the whole philosophy in Viktor Frankl, handled with reverence rather than detail. Does that land as credible weight, or does it feel like a stretch next to a window-shopping story? I'd appreciate it if you watch off the platform and right on YouTube so that the algorithm knows I'm helping it by sending traffic its way. I also hope the content helps you significantly!
