Chapters

I went into groups and I answered questions and I gave value. And then if people wanted to work with me, they came to me. I was fishing with integrity. I was putting stuff there. I wasn't like, hey, join my group for $19.97 a month, join for $150. And you see those out there. It's one of the reasons I hate LinkedIn with a fiery passion, because every time I'm like, oh, this person looks okay, they have lots of mutuals, I'll add them. I immediately get a DM that's like, hey, have you decided? Have you thought about joining my coaching program. And I'm like, piss off. I wanted to join it, I'd come find you.
