Hey Guys, So finally starting work outside of the corporate world I was wondering how do you handle insurance as an entrepreneur, health & dental insurance specifically? I’m still young enough to be under my parents insurance thank God, but time’s coming up in a few months where that’s going to be over, and I really need to make sure I have…Read more

Hi, I’m going through the SWS coaching program right now, and I consider myself in the Shameless Ho phase, and definitely need to keep learning. That being said, I just finished speaking with a client who wants me to write the proof of concept for a venture capitalist who needs the document to basically OK a $4 million investment 🙂 . He knows I’m…Read more

A week or so ago one of the SWS students asked about video sales letters, and it was suggested that he create one using Powerpoint and […]

Aloha! I’d love some suggestions on the next program to create for my list…
I’ve been thrown for a loop and am off track in SWS…
I currently have 2 programs and 2 events a year in my biz (for the last 2 years).
Program 1: The HIVE- 9 month virtual group coaching program to take women from ideas to birthing a business, so it covers the…Read more

Hi Tracy. The word “advanced” is a bit subjective… the first thing that pops out to me is that you’re calling things like teleseminars and webinars “advanced” and “online techie stuff”. I think teleseminars and webinars are pretty easy to do these days and are a great place to start for online marketing and could easily be packaged as such.…Read more

Thanks so much for your response Pete! Yes, “advanced” is very subjective, and “advanced” for my list is teleseminars LOL…I like your point in it really is all about the framing. I’ve never tried driving traffic through paid ads to a webinar, though it’s been on my list of things to do- I will definitely try that, thanks for helping me prioritize!

That’s on my list of things to do as well;)

Hi Tracy: I see you are in Robert’s class. I was in his class last time and can tell you he is a great teacher. He won’t tell you which program to pick, but will help you do great with any one you select.
It looks like you have a disease common to most entrepreneurs…too many choices. You have several programs and it looks like you are…Read more

Thanks so much for taking the time to write such a thorough response Virginia! I feel SO fortunate to be in Robert’s class (even more so after I read your raving intro!)!! You’ve got some wise nuggets in here for me. I think I was just so attached to my original idea, I was having a hard time letting it go. But now it’s been a week, and I’m…Read more

Tracy – You’ve got some great input already, so for now I’m only going to address the SWS Coaching Program.
This is a “teach you how to fish” course. Not a “you get one fish” course.
Pick any one of these, or any other product or service, and make that your SWS topic. Stick to it. Do not change until you’ve gone through all the steps. If you…Read more

Thanks for the reminder Stan 🙂

Hi Jiyadd – Congratulations. Sounds like an interesting gig, and one with a potentially long tail.
I have no experience writing POC for VCs. But here’s what I’d do if I wanted to know more about that than 97% of the people on the planet in 48-72 hours.
(1) I’d hop over to Amazon and grab at least what looks like the best 3 books on the topic and…Read more
Thanks Stan, this is GOLD! I meet up face to face with the client for the first time today, the call went really well yesterday. I’m going to go and read some of those books, and should be able to ask him about interviewing those who successfully wrote POCs in the past. He’s bringing over a 500 page document that the VC gave him of a POC he liked,…Read more
Just landed the client, have a couple of weeks to deliver the POC – it’s my biggest writing deal ever!
Congrats, Jiyaad. That’s awesome… always feels good to close a big deal like that. Way to go!
Thanks Pete! The funny thing is that he didn’t even bat an eye. He asked me what my number was, and I started pre-framing before saying the number. He stopped me and said, “Jiyaad, just tell me the number”, I said it, sort of gulped a little bit, and he said, “done”.
Now I just want to deliver the best product I can that gets investors excited…Read more
Kudos for keeping your cool! Sounds like you could have probably charged more… just something to think about for when you land your next gig.
No doubt you’ll put in the hard work and use your resources here in the MRIC to knock it out of the park.
This is great news, Jiyadd. Congratulations!
You will of course be giving us a testimonial so you can share with others how much the SWS Coaching Program help you, correct?. And how quickly.
I myself have never fully left the Shameless Ho Phase. So I never stop asking for testimonials.
For those of you don’t know what we mean by the Shameless…Read more
Thanks Stan, of course I’d love to give a testimonial, the project should be wrapped up by the end of SWS, and your one post directly helped set me up for success with the client and competently finish the project. Just wanted to say thanks again, and yes I want to give a full testimonial at the end! Hopefully it will be something like this below…Read more
Hey guys, just wanted to send an update. So when my client first asked me to write this POC for him, he had submitted one with his team, and the Venture Capitalist basically said that he wasn’t even in the same ballpark. He and his team had no idea what a POC was, and obviously I was pretty much in the dark as well. Well fast forward to last…Read more
