I accidentally had a popular reel on another social media platform that illustrated this perfectly this week.
No one read the clearly labelled diagram
No one read the clearly written caption
No one listened to the clear voiceover
But they were all arguing in comments.

Life advice my father drilled into me when I was younger that hit me like a freight train again today (prolly not his exact words):
Always assume the other retard across the table is so fucking braindead they won’t understand a single thing you’re saying. Doesn’t matter if he’s
One of the scariest things anyone can do is simply decide you’re gonna stop doing what you’ve always done… and start doing something different.
I’m entering a season where we need a little extra courage. But I know it’ll pay off because it always does when you back yourself.
Day 1 of @AlexHartsuff Enterprise workshop was outstanding.
Received abundantly more than I bargained for. So pleased I had the opportunity (& courage!) to ask my question on the VIP Q&A.
This feels special, that’s all.
Coaches really need:
1. A way for your ideal people to find you
2. A way to explain how you can help them
3. A way for them to give you money
4. A way for you to provide the service
That’s it. Not:
Social media
Sales calls
Upfront / backend commitments
1:1 zoom calls
You didn't become an entrepreneur to follow instructions.
That's literally why you LEFT the 9-5.
So why are you stuck in some mentor's "proven method" from 2019?
Your ability to say "fuck the rules" IS your competitive advantage.
Use it.
If an account has a million followers, but only a few dozen interactions on their posts...
Stop comparing yourself to them.
You likely have a lot more "influence" than the influencers.
I never write for an unaware audience. Ever. Not even in ads.
The cold truth most marketers won't tell you:
If your audience doesn't know they have a problem, you'll go broke trying to convince them.
Start with the problem-aware and work up from there.
If you saw inside these huge "influencer coach" accounts, you'd be amazed at how little money most of them make.
Don't be intimidated by audience size.
Every entrepreneur has a personal "sanity number"...
I've discovered mine through trial and error:
• Above & below it, and my decision-making gets erratic
• I start dumping money into unnecessary investments
• Suddenly I'm convinced I need a bunch of stupid shit
When you know your number, you can optimise for sustainability, not just mindlessly chasing growth.
When your clients run their businesses like gambling addicts, it doesn't matter how stable YOU are.
Your business model inherits their chaos.
The hard truth: If you're serving volatile clients, you're actively inviting instability into your own life.
I learned this after years of stress cycles.
The most expensive audience to convert:
People who don't know they have a problem.
The most profitable audience to convert:
People actively looking for a solution.
Focus your energy where the money is, not where the masses are.
When every interaction with someone makes you feel worse, you eventually avoid them.
That's relationship psychology 101.
Your whole business is just relationships.
Your positioning is your doorway.
Not the whole house.
You don't need to cram everything you do into one hook.
Your clients will still get the full benefit of your expertise once they're inside.
"You can't grow into pain."
This advice changed everything for me.
If you're chasing two rabbits, there's usually a reason:
• You're avoiding committing to one path
• You're used to a degree of chaos
• The clarity feels uncomfortable
Growth doesn't need to hurt. Simplicity is the ultimate leverage.
Marketing to unaware markets is like trying to sell umbrellas on a sunny day.
You're fighting an uphill battle.
Start with those who feel the rain. They're already looking for what you offer.
