Information Is Worth $0
"If anyone can use a free AI tool to get a personalised answer to any question in seconds… are courses dead?" That's how we open this week's episode of Dare to Launch. Here's my answer – the value of information is trending towards zero. I chose those words very carefully. And when you check out the episode, you'll see why. I've been deep in AI since the 90s. Back then I was using AI to predict stock market trends. And I don't think I've seen a moment that required business owners to think more critically about what they're really selling. So Chris, Dan, and I sat down to unpack what's really happening with AI right now – and what it means if you're in the expert, coaching, or teaching business. This is a spicy episode. Dan and I are usually on the same page. But this time… well, let's just say we have a number of "let me offer a counterpoint" moments. 😉 We also get into: Why the value of information going to $0 is actually GOOD news for some folks in the wisdom business (and how to make sure you're on the right side of the line) The one word I've had on my mind since ChatGPT launched – and why it's still the most important word in the AI space The "AI Tingle" that is – "quietly" – waiting to destroy the trust you've built with your audience (yep, that was deliberate!) Why using AI to improve your copy could harm your conversions – and why you might be better off writing it yourself (even if you're not good at copy) What your customers are REALLY buying in an AI world – and how knitting can help you sell it The most AI proof business I know – and the human elements AI can't replicate Why people using AI to solve their problems for free could be your best customers … and more. Don't believe the doom-and-gloom… There's opportunity here with AI… and you have more control over it than you might realise. - - - Get the Free Audiobook of Launch by Jeff Walker at https://getyoulaunched.com/ Want to launch or grow your business – faster?

Launch Mistakes Everyone Makes

Launch Mistakes Everyone Makes
Free Launch Audiobook at 👉 https://getyoulaunched.com/ - - - Chris only had one request for this special Q&A episode of Dare to Launch… "Don't tell Jeff and Dan the questions ahead of time." So this is us – on the spot – answering some of the biggest questions about launching and marketing. Here are some of the ones Chris fired at us: "If you were to compress your entire launch formula into just ONE rule, that if broken would guarantee a failed launch – what would that rule be?" "What are some of the ways businesses destroy the trust they've spent years building?" "What ticks you off when you see it in someone's marketing funnel?" "What do most people include in their launch – that they should actually cut?" "How can new launchers deal with the awkward pause after asking for the sale?" "How important is it to be a "category of one"?" If any of those resonate… or you want our unfiltered take on the biggest launch topics… Check out this week's episode.

Here's What I Did When I Was Forced to Start From Scratch

Here's What I Did When I Was Forced to Start From Scratch
What would you do if you lost everything overnight? In this episode, I break down what I did when it happened to me in 2005 – when my business was taken out from under me. I remember how it felt to look at my wife and say the words that no one wants to say: "I just lost our income." This episode is the story of what I did next… From starting from scratch with a totally new offer – that made just 6 sales… … to six months later, doing a launch that made $600k in the first week. I also talk about the moment I came *this* close to sending someone my tax return to prove a point. I didn't. 🙂 But it proves how much you can accomplish in just one year. - - - Free Bonuses: https://getyoulaunched.com/ Want to launch or grow your business – faster?
