Top 3 Takeaways From This Value-Packed Conversation
- If you don’t have a way to predictably generate on-profile leads, you don’t have a business. You’re just getting lucky
- In order to launch and grow an effective mastermind, group training, or course, you need to be 1) an expert, 2) a good communicator, and 3) a natural giver
- Your knowledge and expertise will always be valuable to the world. Even if many people have talked about it before you, people haven’t heard you put your unique spin on things or inject your personal brand into the mix. If someone else is already talking about your area of expertise, that’s a good thing!
