You're hustling on social media.
Creating content for your podcast, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook.
Putting in the work every single day.
But your business isn't growing the way you thought it would.
Here's why:
You're treating social media like a billboard and not like a business.
Think about it: How many billboards do you pass on your way to work? How many do you actually take action on?
Exactly.
Social media is an audience. Not a customer base.
And if you're not actively moving people FROM that audience INTO your email list every single day, you're leaving money on the table.
In this episode, I'm breaking down the ONE activity that will 1000x your business in the next year:
List building.
Not occasionally. Not when you "feel like it." Daily. Intentional. Focused list building.
Here's what you'll learn:
→ Why the size of your list = the size of your bank account (and why most entrepreneurs are ignoring this)
→ The exact daily challenge I'm giving you: How many new emails are you adding to your list TODAY?
→ Two strategies for driving traffic to your lead magnet: Paid ads (as low as $3-5/day) and FREE outreach (the DM strategy that actually works)
→ The script I use to DM people without feeling salesy, pushy, or weird (you can copy/paste this today)
→ Why I spent years avoiding outreach—and the ONE mindset shift that changed everything (hint: it's about intention, not pressure)
→ My 30-day social media experiment: I posted 5-7 times a day on Facebook. Here's what happened to my engagement, followers, and reach.
→ The sneaky benefit of DMing followers you're NOT friends with (it increases your reach across the platform)
Bottom line:
If you're creating content but not building your list, you're working hard but not building assets.
Social media disappears. Your email list? That's YOURS forever.
The challenge:
Reach out to 5 people a day about your free offer. Do it for 30 days. Track what happens.
I guarantee: You'll be 1000x further ahead than you are right now.
Stop treating social media like your business. Start treating your EMAIL LIST like your business.
