Why I Want Operating Experience Before Teaching a Bigger Result

I connect a teaching offer to something the person has actually accomplished. If an agency or business has produced a specific result using a particular mechanism, that experience can become a coaching program with a different form of fulfillment.

The reason I want someone to stay with a business through its ceilings is that getting past each one changes what they know how to do. Leaving at the same point each time can mean never learning the operating work needed for the next stage.

Expand from experience rather than only changing the format

I explained that selling courses for too long can leave someone known only as a course seller. I used multiple tools for cold email and replicated those software apps. Making software companies meant that my business was not defined only by a course.

I made a similar point about a high-ticket offer: the new format should connect with an accomplishment and a mechanism the person understands. A coaching program is another way to deliver knowledge from work already done.

Match the lesson to the result actually achieved

My example was somebody who had scaled companies with Facebook ads, either through an agency or in a business they owned. They could use that experience to explain the process to someone else.

I also distinguished teaching an early agency milestone from teaching a larger one. A result at one level does not supply the experience of operating the business at every later level. That was the reason to keep developing the underlying skill.

Stay with the operating problem long enough to learn it

I described a conversation with David Mendez, who was launching high-ticket coaching programs through his agency and working with Brooke. My advice was to stay with that work and try to take the business further.

I suggested sticking with Brooke and trying to get the business to $500,000 a month, even if that took a year or two. The point was to develop the ability to operate at that scale.

Recognize what a ceiling asks you to change

To break past a ceiling, I said a person has to change how they operate, what they know and how they execute. Constantly switching business models can bring someone back to the point they already know, without learning what comes after it.

That is why I emphasized staying with something long enough to become good at it. The goal was not merely being able to sell the explanation. It was having the experience of doing the work the explanation was supposed to help someone else do.
