Have you ever created a plan only to start on it and then change it days or weeks later? And then you find yourself stuck in this deadly loop? changing plans, getting burnt out, no results... Here's might be what's happening. Your plan is 1) not really address your core problem and blocker, you're just following some static list of todos which keep you busy but have zero impact on your business. So you get burnt out. 2) The plan is too complex, it has you working on too many things, you're stretched thin, and non of your actions move you closer to gaining mastery in your business. So then you get tired, open up social media for relief, then you see 3 new #1 tactics that everyone should have in their business. You get excited! You create a new plan... you feel good for a moment, yet again it's too complex, and doesn't really address the true blockers in your business. You start to execute, then the same thing repeats over and over and you never really get traction. The real solution is to have a far better understanding for what your REAL blocker is. And to create a plan that just solves that in the most simple and direct way. It's hard because we're told all these things from online experts. You MUST be doing x, y and z or you'll fail! right? we've all heard it. I've been victim to it as well. But context is everything, some of that advise only makes sense to the person giving it. Their situation might be totally different from you. But they don't mention that, so you walk away thinking it applies to you. And lets also not forget that a lot of the advice is just bad. So you need to learn to develop an inner strength that can keep you centered. Sure you can get help, but without an inner voice and gut feeling, you'll be a victim to whatever way the wind blows today, or tomorrow. Once you have a plan (that is simple) don't change course unless you get NEW evidence that tells you that you're on the wrong track. I don't mean a hunch or feeling, I mean REAL evidence.

A lot of people underestimate how hard it is to help people achieve their dreams. Especially if we're coaching them to level up through acquiring new skills or removing roadblocks. Bottom line: Helping people change their lives is extremely difficult. Why is this important? because I think far too often building a business online has become about marketing, offers, copywriting and closing the deal, and NOT about how to make the best product in the marketplace. We are all encouraged to use the internet to build our dream lives by selling products, but so phew people talk about how do you create an AMAZING product. In fact most of the advice is that you already have everything you need to start a business, they say -- "you just need to help someone a few steps behind you". Which is really only partially true. Being slightly ahead of someone else doesn't really mean you know how to coach them to get to where you are now. It doesn't mean you can't figure it out either, but don't fool yourself that it's going to be easy. You can put material in a course, and you can learn how to sell it. You can even get 100 clients, but that doesn't mean you have a good product. Without a good product that REALLY works you will eventually fail. That early momentum you had, the 5-10 clients you had, that will all go away if you can't eventually develop and improve your product so that it's really really really good. How often have you received a testimonial only to feel deep inside that this person is just doing you a favor? I had lots of those in the beginning, "Yea, Stephen is a great guy, loved working with him" -- this is a testimonial from someone who "likes" you, not someone that really loved your product. People might like you, and they may not regret working with you, but do they really rave to others about your product? So you have to ask yourself why you mostly focus on marketing and closing deals and not on customer success. Sometimes even when we're experts we don't always know what will make our customers successful. But you have to start thinking about it, you have to start taking repeated and sustained actions to improve your product and figure it out.

So for a bit of context, I have 1 channel where I basically talk about business strategy, and growing your business, especially your coaching / community. But all the advice can be implemented into online businesses. Now I was thinking, I need to nurture my audience a bit further. So I was thinking of starting a 2nd youtube channel where I just post daily and give value specifically for skool community owners and coaches. The strategy to get the videos out is to make a value post on skool, then record a loom going over it and explaining it in much more detail, then posting it. What do you think about that?

@Stephen G. Pope Quick question. Is the affiliate program for KEDB still active?

Are these sessions open to anyone from the Community or just the KEDB licensees?
