@robwritescopy I'm just now seeing this. My heart aches for all who were close to him. To say Rob was a huge influence in my copywriting journey is such an understatement. You all have been in my daily prayers and I will continue lifting you up as you grieve this immense loss ๐๐ผ
@MeitnerTom This is SO real. This time last year, I was waiting for mastery. Finally started in Jan. Should've just started!
My dad always says you don't have to be the expert, you just have to know more than the person currently doing the job. And typically, that's not that hard to find..
@MeitnerTom ๐ฅณ ๐ Every client I'm working with right now except one has come from cold email.

Getting people to show up is a superpower.
As a Creator that has a course, a community, run webinars, or cohorts, you know how important it is for people to show up.
Live training or lesson drops, whatever the case is, dates matter.

I'm a terribly average copywriter at best.
But I'm still crushing it. Here's why:
