About this episode

This episode discusses the impact of big launch numbers on personal strategy and the importance of evaluating new trends critically.

If you've ever seen someone else's big launch number and immediately started questioning your entire strategy, this episode is for you. The Yap Challenge is everywhere right now, and the 1.2 million dollar launch attached to it is hard to ignore. But there's something worth talking about in how we process other people's results, and how quickly we reach for someone else's tactics when we see a number that makes our brain light up. In this episode: Why we do "selective math" when we see big launch numbers The difference between an engine and an amplifier in your business Why the Yap Challenge (or any trend) might be the amplifier, not the thing that actually builds your business The honest question to ask yourself before you pick up a new strategy or platform And yes, what I actually decided about the challenge Links mentioned: The Business Alignment Audit (free) Business Growth Audit Call
