Lie 1: The job of your business is to make SALESWe know a lot of people who start their online businesses based on a hobby or passion they have. The intention is maybe to be able to work less and spend more time with family or retire early. But what a lot of people don't anticipate is that once you start the business, you actually have to run it. 
That means ensuring your business makes a profit, which is the one and only job your business has. And the only way you can make a profit is by offering products or services to your marketplace of higher value than what they’ll pay. In other words, you have to offer something really valuable.
Because your business needs to make a profit sustainably. And to do that, you need customers who love buying from you. They know that every time they spend money with you, they’re going to feel good and have a great outcome. And if at any point that stops happening, they’ll stop buying. So your job is to treat your customers well and give them value.

Of course, you don't want to send the same emails over and over asking people to buy your stuff. But what you do say in your emails needs to move your audience towards the product you're selling. Otherwise, it means your emails are just a distraction - a shiny object that’s distracting people from buying from you. And if you’re a business (and not a hobby) you need to sell.

If you stopped doing anything else and only used what we teach you, we're confident you’d make more sales more predictably and generate more income. That’s the reason we sell – because we believe that our product makes a difference.
