Show Notes:
It might work, it might not work – That is the core of growth.


Why They Don’t Fail Anymore

They are better at choosing opportunities b/c they’ve failed a lot already
They get better opportunities

They get pitched all the time
They run with people that are doing great stuff


They make better opportunities

Test group inside Facebook – Hyatt changed the name of the course, the flow of the course, the artwork.
They know what their audience wants based on the content they put out and the feedback they get. Free guides, download numbers, the number of comments.


They refine

They make it better
They offer different levels
Re-releasing my Evernote course but it will be more specifically built for content creators


They’ve learned what their audience wants – GUIDE – http://www.takepermission.com/freeguides


Why They Do Still Fail

Guillebeau – You didn’t see my failures, that’s why they were failures. They faded away.
They don’t go all in so they don’t lose it all – Tim Ferriss as an investor, TV show, created but didn’t get distribution.
They’re failure is inside their organization. They don’t hit their targets. Even their “failures” would be good enough for most of us.
They fail then tweak for the next launch

Seth Godin’s big book – lost money
Re-releasing a new one, but won’t lose money this time


They tweak during their failure

If they’re not succeeding, they make adjustments
They have enough strength to turn the wheel midstream
They have a longer play than you and I do

#8 – 21 Things That Will Happen When You Publish Daily

[player]
Today’s podcast is going to directly focus on one pillar of this show…building a business you’re proud of. It’s a warning to consumers and a call to other entrepreneurs to step up and stop doing a deceptive practice that’s grown in popularity. Here we go.

I’ve put a lot of work into preparing for this episode. I’ve looked through hundreds of comments on this topic, spoke to several friends in the industry I’m going to discuss, and pull content from the very services people use to run this scummy practice. So this episode will be a bit longer than most but I’m pretty sure it’ll be the most entertaining episode you’ve ever heard on this show.
 
I won’t use anyone’s name who does this or the services they use. And to be clear, they can do whatever they want. I’m not their dad, boss, or moral authority. My job is to speak the truth as I see it and then let you and them decide what actions to take next.

 
I’ll say in the beginning that I hope consumers demand more from internet entrepreneurs. This practice needs to get cleaned up, now. There is a solution and I’ll talk about it at the end of the episode.
 

If you’ve listened to the show before you know that I’ve created several free guides for you to download the correspond to different topics I talk about on show. The guide that best relates to today’s topic is the “Is it legit?” online course guide” You can get that at TakePermission.com/FreeGuides or by finding your way to this episode to TakePermission.com/Show007.
 




Customer: I need help learning how to use my new computer.
 
Expert: I can help you with that. I have a class I’m offering tomorrow at 10 am CT. Would you like to attend?
 
Customer: Yes. That’d be great.
Three questions:

– Is the expert going to be there?
– Does the customer expect the expert to be there?
– Does it matter?


 
Deception is a purposeful action, not an accident. Deception isn’t a misunderstanding. It happens when one party either includes misinformation or omits information. To be clear here, deception can happen by including or omitting information.
 
The deception I’m going to talk about happens by omitting information.
 
I’m calling out a deceptive practice because it needs to stop. Evergreen webinars that imply the person is present when they’re not is a trend that is becoming the norm in marketing. It’s dishonest. It’s unregulated. I can’t do anything to stop it. Not talking about it only perpetuates the problem.
