NO 😤

Yesterday, a fellow writer reached out to me asking for help.

He then proceeded to inquire about my 1:1 mentorship program.

Turns out … this dude was ready to swipe his credit card and hit the ground running then and there.

But what happened next had him gasping for air. 😱

Despite his eagerness, I gave him a resounding…

ā€œNOā€

Not today suckaaa 😈

(Jk, forget that last part)

But here’s why:

My program is aimed at writers with at least a few months of experience under their belt.

This guy?

He'd been writing for 1 month and barely had 100 followers.

That's not to shame our fellow writer.

In fact, he seemed like a very upright, honest person.

But my program is simply not designed for newer writers like him.

It would have been a lose-lose.

He would have probably wasted his money.

I would have been stressed out of my mind to somehow deliver results … deep down knowing that it was doomed from the start.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that a lot of people in my position would have taken him on as a client.

I see it too often in the coaching space.

People handing out backdoor slips or ā€œmaking exceptionsā€ just to extract even more money from their fans.

That's not how I roll.

Before launching this program, I promised myself that I wouldn't make exceptions.

Either you're a fit … or not.

I'd rather miss out on some fickle Stripe notifications to maintain my audience’s trust.

First, because I don't NEED the money.

Second, because I plan to do this shit for years to come. Playing with my audience’s trust would only shorten my potential ā€œearning window.ā€

All this is not to say that I'm morally superior or anything.

See…

I’ve made this mistake in the past. I had to pay the price. And I learned my lesson.

So if you are on the fence about joining my 1:1 mentorship … here are a few cases in which you shouldn't:

  1. You’ve never invested in courses or other programs before – a full-fledged mentorship should never be your first purchase when diving into a topic.

  2. You don't have enough disposable income – my program is $150/week. If that's existentially threatening money to you … please don't invest.

  3.  You’re ā€œjust testing the watersā€ – if writing is just a hobby for you and not something you want to make a living with long-term … skip this.

  4. You have less than 200 followers ā€“ this is the bare minimum.

  5. You aren't fluent in English ā€“ Look, I'm not native myself. But my English is intelligible. Yours should be too.

All that said…

If the above didn't alienate you…

You might just be a good fit for my mentorship.

This is where I work around your needs to scale your copywriting or ghostwriting business to $3,000/mo in the next 90 days – without working more.

I’ve packaged the exact process I took to achieve this in the simplest way possible.

I literally CANNOT make it easier for you.

Let's find out if you are a fit.

Reply with ā€œYESā€ and I'll send you the full details for you to make an informed decision.
