๐Ÿ’› Eeyore, Pavarotti + one hell of an entrance


Hi Reader,

An opera star taught me how to public speak.

I arrived early to the first evening class. But once inside the classroom, I saw that there was no instructor, or notes on the blackboard. Weird.

Besides a few sniffles and some butt-shifting in chairs, the seconds ticking on the clock were the only sounds in the classroom.
โ€‹
The start time came and went.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock. I was wondering if this was a mistake. What kind of instructor is late for the first class? Not a good one.

Boom! The whole class jumped as a voice reverberated from the back of the room:

โ€œPay attention. Your lifeโ€™s about to change!โ€

Chairs screeched and spines twisted as everyone looked at the back of the room to see who had spoken but no one was there.
โ€‹
We re-oriented ourselves to the front and exchanged glances of โ€œWho the hell was that?

And suddenly there she was.
โ€‹
Our instructor opera star floated through the front door with arms wide soaking in our stares and a smile that could be seen from the back of the Sydney Opera House

โ€œThis is how you command attention in a room. If you donโ€™t have everyoneโ€™s attention youโ€™re doing it wrong. Letโ€™s begin.โ€ she declared.

That entrance. That confidence. That comfort with all the attention.

You and I are never singing the contralto in the Marriage of Figaro but as entrepreneurs earning money on the Internet, we do need to learn how to demand attention.

Sure, we're not standing on stage but think of it this way:

๐Ÿค Your newsletter is your classroom.
๐Ÿค Your launch emails are your stage.
๐Ÿค Your YouTube channel is your opera house.

Can we all agree to put more opera singer, look-at-me energy in everything we do?

Less slouching, moping, and hiding.
More poise, boldness, and conviction.

Less Eeyore. More Luciano Pavarotti.

If you are confident, you're audience will be confident to buy.

Arms wide. Big smile. Ooze confidence and take the stage.

Hey Reader, You don't need to think for your students. Here's what I mean:๐Ÿš Teacher Sally booked all her student's classes for them. She didn't want them to go through the effort of clicking to sign up for their next class. ๐Ÿš Teacher Jane planned a 4-month launch so that the launch emails were spaced out over a long period of time. She didn't want to annoy her audience with frequent emails. ๐Ÿš Teacher Ann priced her course so low that she had to take a part-time job to survive. She didn't want...

Hey Reader, Six-figures. The sought-after revenue goal with two commas and five plump, confident-building zeros. I'm working on some material around changes you need to make to earn six figures (which will be showing up in your inbox soon), and it occurred to me that many of you may have already made six figures."Whaaat?"I know!That's why I had to send this sooner than later. When you hear "make six figures," my guess is that you think of making one hundred thousand in a one-year period, as...

Hi Reader, I witness this strange phenomenon every Tuesday. As part of our Luminaries coaching program, I critique sales emails written by women trying to sell their online programs. Their first drafts often come across as if they're knocking gently on someone's office door and asking in a soft voice, "Oh, hey, hi there. Sorry to bother you, but do you have a minute to listen to my idea? If not, I can come back later." The "office, "of course, is the inbox of their readers. Their whispery...
