I am stubborn. But now, after growing a 6 figure agency, I have to start all over again. EDIT - who does your video editing?? Very impressive, keen to know if it's you!
Adam great to hear from you man! You're not stubborn...you're ambitious ;) Sorry to hear but what a challenge for 2025! Obvs you know I went through the same thing, so I think we just have to go through the gauntlet to know what it's like! I have a team of editors - it definitely isn't me!

I like what your saying on the front end, but what i'm hearing is the way to make money online is to coach coaches with programs? Which is like a ponzi scheme for as long as there is people willing to be coached? It's like "join the gang, by subscribing to my program. Then teach others the program buy buying their trust with consistency" Please, correct me if I'm wrong here..
The building trust part has to be honest and true and not being consistent in selling lies. A practical example could be, teaching a potential dental assistant how to prepare for certification exams or other parts of the industry. On the other hand there are people sellling get rich quick schemes and those are ponzi-ish to an extent and not fully sustainable.

Sadly, many of the clean techniques are either outdated or have been taken over by AI/Scripts. So back to square one I suppose.
