How to add value to your offers

It sets up a false contrast between offers and content, as if offers can’t be valuable. But actually, the word “offer” means you’re giving something.

Again and again, I meet people who are spending all their time looking at offer after offer, plan after plan to make some money online, yet not sticking with anything. 

They attend several free webinars a week. They buy program after program. Someone recently told me he had spent $100,000, his entire life savings, on programs and still didn’t know what to do next.

On the other hand, you never finish or implement any of the offers or strategies but just keep on going from one plan to the next.

Is this you?
