A lot of us think that the offers we put into the market are permanent and set in stone.  But to be successful, we have to stop being so hard on ourselves and stay flexible with our business and our decisions. We need to be able to adjust our initial vision to have room to grow, pivot, and evolve our offers. In this episode, we are talking with Dayna Abraham about how she was able to grow and manage multiple successful memberships and courses that complement each other. Dayna Abraham is a National Board Certified early childhood teacher turned homeschooling mom of three. She started blogging at Lemon Lime Adventures because she believes that life is full of adventures, from the photo-worthy to the not so pretty. She has made Lemon Lime Adventures is a place where you can find inspiration for all of life’s adventures, from tinkering and adventures in learning to positive parenting tips and adventures in parenting a child with special needs.

Do you want to make a bigger impact? Then you need to listen in.The one thing that Melissa and I have discovered over the last several years is instead of trading time for money, instead of just going after one client for one transaction, one of the best things that we've been able to do for ourselves, our clients and our community was to find a way to work with people on an ongoing basis.Now, we’re working with people that don’t just want a quick fix. But they are actually experiencing a true transformation that takes time, that takes energy, that takes feedback.The quick fix isn’t going to get you the impactful results; it's the long term that's going to get a win for everyone!That’s why when it comes to making impact, we strongly recommend looking into the recurring model for your business, look into subscriptions or memberships because that's where the longevity is.That's going to get rid of the peaks and valleys and create a steady income stream so that you can be more present, be able to show up, help yourself, your family, and also, because you show up as a better and less stressed person, you then can serve your people, your community and make a ripple effect in the community, in the world where it's a win win for everyone all the way around!Think memberships, think recurring, think subscriptions when you want to make a greater and bigger impact.

6 easy things to think about when it comes to your target audience!When it comes to getting to know our audience and really understanding who they are, a lot of times we overcomplicate it. Instead, keep it simple. Try using open-ended questions to connect with them: who, what, when, where, why and how!What are the things your audience is interested in? What are the things they desire? What are their pain points? Why are they seeking help? What’s going on in their lives right now? Why are they looking for a solution? How can you help them? Put yourself in their shoes and figure out what they’re experiencing. Imagine what their day-to-day life is like. That will give you a better understanding of what kind of solutions they are seeking and how you can better help them.Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

When it's time to promote your business or launch a new offer, so many entrepreneurs throttle themselves. They let self-doubt and limiting beliefs stop them from putting themselves out there. They assume people already know what they do or should just find them.But we live in a noisy, oversaturated world. If you're not actively and consistently sharing who you are, what you do, and how you can help, your competitors will.So take one small step outside your comfort zone each day—send another email, do one more social post, follow up with someone you've been hesitating to reach out to.Doing those little things will separate you from 99% of the competition. And that makes all the difference.Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on our highest-converting challenge launch. We took a chance and launched our first public challenge with just a week of planning. Despite the short runway, it was a success. By learning from our mistakes and feedback, we were able to improve the challenge and generate over six figures just six months later. The key is to not strive for perfection, but instead get started and improve over time based on experience and feedback.And when you have everything really tuned in, you don't have to reinvent the wheel.Rinse and repeat your launches, reusing your assets and making small tweaks to improve, providing value to new audiences and generating predictable, sustainable revenue.Find the full show notes here: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/the-key-to-our-most-successful-challenge-launch/ Resources: Challenge Launch Challenge - We’ll pull back the curtain and show you exactly what we've been doing the past couple of years with Challenges & Launches and led us to make a million dollars this year!

Not every decision that you make in business is permanent. You have the power and ability to change things as you want.Remember, you’re the boss of your business! You get to decide how you want to design your membership and how you want to go about things.I encourage you to just get started, take action test, try things, try new things and if something is not going exactly the way that you wanted to go or the way that you envisioned it, you can make a change, it's not permanent!The biggest thing is just getting started. That fear of getting started and things not going exactly as planned, that can hold you back, but don’t let it, keep moving forward. People need what you do and you’re going to make an impact.Don’t hold yourself back wondering about the “what ifs”. You get to decide, so just get started!Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

A lot of times people get stuck in their tracks trying to perfect their offer, wait for the perfect moment, or have their fears stand in the way of launching their membership.And then they freeze and lose momentum.In this episode, we are talking with Eric Walrabenstein, best-selling author and renowned educator.He is sharing his inspiring journey, how he overcame his perfectionism, his fears and self-doubt to transition from his real-life yoga studio to online membership, and what he learned about attracting the right audience for your offer.Eric Walrabenstein is a best-selling author, ordained Yoga Master, and nationally-renowned educator in the fields of yoga and meditation.His work focuses on empowering people to practically apply the lesser-known aspects of yoga, beyond the postures, to live lives of more purpose and meaning.He is the founder of Yoga Pura, one of Arizona’s largest yoga schools, the creator of the BOOTSTRAP Yoga Stress-management System developed for the U.S. military, and is the founding director of the BrightLife Yoga Collective.His podcast, This Perfect Moment, is available on Apple and Google Podcast networks.Find the full show notes here: Resources:Make It a Membership -  a program showing you exactly what you need to do in order to turn your offer or your idea into a successful membership Freebie: Yoga's Secret to Calmby Eric Walrabenstein walking you step-by-step through how you can put the powerful pieces of the Secret to Calm to work in your life in just minutes a day.Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with Ericwww.ericwal.com/www.facebook.com/[email protected]/ericwConnect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

How do you maximize the final days before your launch and convince people to sign up for your offer?In this episode of our Mastermind Series,  we are discussing how to maximize the time right before your launch.From engaging with your audience via email and social media, adding last-minute incentives, to handling their objections - there are many things you can do to “bring them over the line”.Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

I’ve seen this happen a lot throughout my years in business.People do something proactive; they pull in a lot of interest to their offer, they'll end up landing a bunch of clients and at that point, they get really busy and very productive, they have a lot of sales and income come in.But while they're focused on those current customers and serving people, they stop doing what they did to attract those people. Then what happens is they serve, and they close out, they finish those transactions and there’s no one left to serve. They have to start all over again at the bottom.So how can you get rid of those peaks and valleys?Don’t stop doing what you did to attract people in the first place, and you’ll keep attracting new people in. Start every day at zero, as if you have zero clients. Put your best foot out there, put in the effort, stay consistent, keep attracting new people in, and then you'll never run out on the back end.Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

Community. It’s something we all crave, isn’t it? We crave to be around people that understand us. We love to be around people where we can have deep conversations and connect. We crave having that community of like-minded people that are going through the same thing so we can talk about our challenges and also share our wins! I’m fact, one of the reasons I love memberships so much is the community experience they can create! When you have a membership, you have that ability to become a conductor for community to bring like minded people together to share experiences, wins and challenges.It’s just so powerful.What communities are you a part of?Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

What is the number one highest converting headline? The truth is, there isn’t one.There’s no one size fits all when it comes to this stuff. We don’t know what’s going to work until we get market feedback. Therefore, the greatest thing you can do right now is take action! Put something into the marketplace and see what happens. When you do this, you’re giving yourself permission to get that feedback that you need to make improvements.Test that headline, test that offer, test that email! Then we’ll have statistics to look at and we can make it even stronger for next time. That’s where you’re going to find true perfection. You’ll find the highest converting headline for yourself.Building your list starts with the first subscriber.That’s right, you don't have to have the big list from the get-go, you can get there gradually. And what's more important is that you're building your list with the right people.So, take your time building your list. Think of the right people that you want to connect with and make those connections to build your list, slowly and steadily, and with the right people.Remember, it all starts with that first person and then from there, slowly and steadily grow that list of the right people that are interested in what you do, are interested in the programs that you offer and interested in the transformation that you're promising.Have you started building your list?Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

After working hard on your challenge launch, it's time to take it to the next level through scaling. In this episode, we discuss why looking at your numbers will help you to see what's working and not working. Review the data from your launch to determine what needs adjusting or eliminating for next time. This helps create an effective process you can repeat. Start by evaluating one element of your launch, like emails sent or livestreams. Make incremental improvements, one step at a time, and grow with each launch.

Embrace your mistakes! Celebrate them and learn from them.This is important. I really want you to celebrate your mistakes because you're one of the few that took action that got out of your head that made a decision and moved forward.You took that step.And, when you take that step, you have a new point of view, you have a new lens from where you were before, you'll never go back to where you were before. Because now, even if it was a mistake, even if it was something that didn't work quite perfectly and that's the great thing when it comes to marketing your business when it comes to putting yourself out there into the world like that, that perspective will allow you to pivot adjust change because again, we talk about all the time, marketing is testing, and the only way that you're going to test is you have to be vulnerable enough to put out imperfection is put out things that are not perfect because it's the market feedback that we don't have until we put our thing out into the world.So go ahead and make mistakes. That is how we learn.

How big does your audience need to be for you to feel successful and fulfilled? Seriously, what is enough? How much is enough?When you achieve that first goal, you suddenly have a new goal, and that cycle keeps repeating. We get entrapped in this thought pattern and think that fulfillment must be at the next level. Therefore, success keeps getting moved forward to the next thing. So, no matter where you are, it’s like “What’s the next thing?”I challenge you when it comes to your audience, look at why you are really building that audience. What is the purpose behind the vanity metric? What is it that you think you need to feel fulfilled?While you’re on your journey, you’re collecting an audience, you’re bringing people into our world. And the truth is, we really don’t need as many followers as we think. We don’t need the virtual line around the corner. We don’t need the huge follower count. We don’t need a huge email list. What we do need is connection. We need to make sure we are tuned in with our audience, and we need to make sure we are tuned in with who we are, so we project the best self that we have.So, how much is enough? I guarantee it’s not anywhere near where you’re placing that metric. You can be fulfilled now, and you can look at the numbers. How many sales? How many paying clients do you need to reach the goal, to live the life and lifestyle that you want, to make the impact that you want?You don’t need a huge following. Instead, go deeper with fewer.

You don't need a big list or a big audience when you have the correct aligned offer.Focus on serving the right people. If you're intentional with what you’re putting into the marketplace and speaking to the right audience, you're going to have a higher conversion ratio, it’s going to be easier to guide these people into a sale.So, take your time when it comes to list building. Be a little bit more careful and stay clear of all the shiny objects out there to build the vanity metric, the tricks on how to build huge followings because a lot of these leads won't be very high quality.Be intentional instead. Build an audience of the right people.

A lot of us get caught up in perfectionism.We have to have our membership programs done perfectly. Then when we finally take our offer into the market, there are crickets because it's not based on what your audience actually wanted. In this episode, we are discussing with award-winning online marketer and book author Dr. Mary Barbera why you should not let perfectionism stop you from simply putting your membership out there, regardless of the number of followers you have and how you can use market feedback to make sure that what you offer is perfectly aligned with what people are looking for.Dr. Mary Barbera “fell” into the autism world in 1999 when her first-born son, Lucas was diagnosed with autism. Since then, Mary transformed from a confused and overwhelmed parent to a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst and best-selling author. After earning a PhD, Mary launched her first online course in early 2015 and later built additional courses and a membership program to help both parents and autism professionals. In her vlogs, podcasts, books, webinars, and online courses, Mary teaches her unique step-by-step system and method to help children with autism (or signs of autism) talk more while reducing tantrums and other problem behaviors. Mary’s latest book Turn Autism Around was published in 2021 by Hay House and is helping parents and professionals start turning things around for young children with early signs of autism and older children with an autism diagnosis who are still struggling with talking, tantrums, eating, sleeping and potty training.

You need to make more offers!Would you like to know one of the number one thing that has helped me become successful over and over again?It’s really quite simple: by making more offers! In this current moment in time, there are people in the world that are willing to invest in your product or service, that are willing to invest in you and what you give into this world. But if we don't make an offer, what happens? They're ready, willing and able today - right now. But they're in the active market right the second and they're going to go somewhere else to make that investment because we're totally invisible. The answer is always “no” to the offer that has never made. I challenge you today is to make more offers.We are attracting people into our world. We're putting out the messaging that's aligned to them. We're bringing them through our funnels, our online marketing. We are sharing our goodness into the world. But the thing is that if we aren’t giving them an opportunity to buy from us, we are free zoning those people, we are friend zoning them, right? We need to lean in, we need to feel more secure and confident and make more offers.When is the last time that you made an offer to your people? Let me know, because I think at the end of the day, we all need to make more offers!

At the beginning, when we're first starting off with anything, we get busy trying new things and that's really a wonderful thing, especially as entrepreneurs, because it allows us to put ourselves out there, test and see what works.But when we’re trying a lot of random things, we're attracting a lot of random people into our world, and we'll end up getting a lot of random results.As you grow as an entrepreneur, you want to shift that randomness to intention. We need to be more intentional with the efforts that we make, be more intentional with our marketing, be more intentional with our messaging, and be more intentional with how we're going to connect with our audience.When we can become more intentional, we can really lead the right people in.Are you leading the right people into your world?Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

Stop hiding your offers! Selling isn't "dirty" or selfish. Selling is serving. You're guiding people toward the solution they need. So instead of surprising people with your offer at the last second, be transparent from the beginning. And seed your offer throughout your launch.Let people know you have an amazing offer coming so they can get excited about the possibilities. This helps them make an informed buying decision and feel good about saying YES when the offer is finally revealed.Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

Once you've filled your challenge, the real work begins in delivering it. In this episode, we’re sharing some of our top tips to ensure you have a successful launch.Keeping your challenge short can be more effective since longer challenges often see higher drop-off rates as people lose interest or get overwhelmed.Making the trainings in your launch digestible and giving your audience quick wins will keep your audience engaged and more open to your offers.Lastly, we cover one of the most common mistakes marketers make during their launches: overteaching.While giving value is important, too much information leads to less conversions. You want people excited for your offer, not feeling like they got everything they need for free.Give them a taste of what life can be like for them and guide them toward your offers, where you’ll deliver the full transformation.Find the full show notes here: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/key-steps-to-nailing-your-challenge-launch/Resources:Challenge Launch Challenge -We’ll pull back the curtain and show you exactly what we've been doing the past couple of years with Challenges & Launches and led us to make a million dollars this year!Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

In this episode, we dive into how to make challenge launches more effective for your audience. As entrepreneurs, it's easy to get caught up in wanting to provide tons of value by sharing everything we know. But this often leads to overwhelming our audience and complicating the challenge. The key is to keep things simple by focusing on one small win or task per day that people can accomplish quickly. This allows them to make progress, see what's possible and become open to your offer.Find the full show notes here: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/getting-the-most-out-of-your-challenge-launches/Resources:Challenge Launch Challenge -We’ll pull back the curtain and show you exactly what we've been doing the past couple of years with Challenges & Launches and led us to make a million dollars this year!Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

Memberships do not have to be complicated. Seriously!They can be very streamlined, very simple. It all comes down to the promise that you're making.Now, if you have a coaching program, what better thing to put on the back because you know, there's only so many people that are going to keep renewing for another thing, coaching element.But if you had a maintenance program, if you had a back-end membership that gave the opportunity for people to stay connected with you even after that experience, same thing with the course, the natural tension that people have.it's all about the long game.It's having a lifetime value of a client having something where you truly can help people make the transformation that you want for them.Nobody loses, it's a win-win-win all the way around.And the interesting thing is because we're intentional, it doesn't have to be overwhelming.

When’s the last time you “spring cleaned” your business?We do it in our homes, we do with our cars sometimes to do it personally, right? We need to get rid of the junk. We need to get rid of the anchors that are holding us back. And that's what I would invite you to do. Any day. You don't have to wait till the end of the year. It is not something that you have to have a specific time. At any point in time, you can spring clean your business.What are the things that possibly are no longer serving you that allow you to lean into the future, leading to new and better possibilities because you up that anchor, you cut the string, you're stop being tethered from past decisions that are possibly not even serving you today?Maybe you're making commitments and doing things on a daily basis that are not really moving the needle and it’s not making progress for you. It's because of that anchor to the past, that commitment, those things that don't even serve you today that are still holding you back.So, to move forward, we need to lift that anchor, we need to clean out the ship, we need to spring clean our business.Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

In the market, you will hear often that you got to be an expert before you can put something together. But there is another way. You don't have to have all the knowledge and expertise from the start. You can be a facilitator by being resourceful and gathering experts that can guide an audience to a solution for their problem. In this episode, we are talking with Adrienne Babbit about how she turned a local need and grew it into a global membership without being an expert herself and how she constantly enhances her membership by listening to her audience’s feedback.Adrienne is the Founder of Learn with Me Languages, and she’s fondly known as the Chief Optimist. She leads a team of talented teachers who help families learn languages through CONNECTING with native speakers of the language they’re learning.  Families form friendships that motivate them to USE the language. The program was birthed at the beginning of COVID, and since then they have connected hundreds of families from around the world learning Spanish and English together through the Family Language Exchange Membership. Adrienne is also the host of the Building Bilingual Families Podcast, and her passion is to help families become bridge builders in their communities.Find the full show notes here: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/how-to-create-a-membership-without-being-an-expert-interview-with-membership-owner-podcast-host-chief-optimist-adrienne-babbit-3/Resources:Learn With Me Languages - Get the free SPEAK SPANISH EVERYDAY GUIDE.

Meet people where they are in their journey. Enter the conversation that they are already having. Now, this takes some research and it takes some time. This takes some awareness. You need a feedback loop. You need to take the time and the effort to go out and see what your people that you're trying to attract into your world are doing.What are they already talking about? What are they already sharing, liking, engaging in? What are they commenting on? What are they already doing today?Because when we enter the conversation already knowing instead of being a stranger entering in an awkward kind of way, you'll be welcomed into the conversation.That, my friend, will completely change the way that you launch.It all starts with being intentional, entering the conversation they are already having and then guiding them into the step where you are able to help them.Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

There are companies out there, and there have been for many, many years that have done what you're trying to do, maybe even in the niche that you have, and they're attracting clients. If they’re attracting clients that means there is a system, a process, a framework, something that they're already doing that's causing people to buy. There is something that is already proven and that works!Instead of going through the trial-and-error process on your end, wasting time, wasting money, wasting financial resources and energy that we cannot get back, why not ride on somebody else's wheel? Why not use a framework that is already working, that's already tested, that's already tweaked in, that's dialed in? That is the perfect starting point.You don't need to reinvent the wheel.
