What Worked For Them Might Not Work For You

Carrie Koh: 00:00:32

Do you guys remember all the infomercials before streaming before,

Carrie Koh: 00:00:36

like commercial TV viewing back in the day where like we would have to suffer through

Carrie Koh: 00:00:41

these like 45 minute infomercials and we'd always be sucked in, and I remember.

Carrie Koh: 00:00:48

Do you guys remember the shaker weight infomercial?

Carrie Koh: 00:00:51

Oh my gosh.

Carrie Koh: 00:00:51

It was like this weight that you'd like move really fast back and forth.

Carrie Koh: 00:00:56

You'd hold it with both hands and move it back and forth.

Carrie Koh: 00:00:59

I'm totally making the motion right now and you cannot see me.

Carrie Koh: 00:01:02

But it made this like shaker ray sound, right?

Carrie Koh: 00:01:04

And of course the woman in the infomercial had these like amazing buff arms and there

Carrie Koh: 00:01:08

is nothing I've ever wanted more than to have buff beautifully like long arms,

Carrie Koh: 00:01:13

as if that thing would elongate my arms.

Carrie Koh: 00:01:16

But anyway, so I bought the thing.

Carrie Koh: 00:01:19

I remember buying the thing, or maybe I convinced my mom to buy it.

Carrie Koh: 00:01:22

Somehow we had this thing, and guess what?

Carrie Koh: 00:01:26

Our arms were not buff.

Carrie Koh: 00:01:27

It did not work.

Carrie Koh: 00:01:29

And so I wanna talk about today why some strategies work for some people but not

Carrie Koh: 00:01:34

others, because there is something that is happening in this industry, in this

Carrie Koh: 00:01:39

online entrepreneurial world that is very concerning, and we need to talk truths

Carrie Koh: 00:01:44

about it because, There are so many people out there promising big results, like

Carrie Koh: 00:01:51

big fat numbers, like just do the work.

Carrie Koh: 00:01:54

Just believe, and you will see the results that I have.

Carrie Koh: 00:01:58

And how often is that really true?

Carrie Koh: 00:02:01

The fact of the matter is 1%.

Carrie Koh: 00:02:05

I'm gonna say that again.

Carrie Koh: 00:02:07

1% of people in these huge programs actually get results.

Carrie Koh: 00:02:14

So I think it's important that we talk about why that is, because I

Carrie Koh: 00:02:17

don't want you all to be the 99% of people who aren't getting the

Carrie Koh: 00:02:21

results in my signature program.

Carrie Koh: 00:02:24

By the way, my percentage of people who get results is in the 90%.

Carrie Koh: 00:02:29

Okay?

Carrie Koh: 00:02:29

Because I have created a program that delivers what it promises.

Carrie Koh: 00:02:35

And when we look at what's happening in the industry, there's people

Carrie Koh: 00:02:38

just you rah, rahing over all the money they've made, right?

Carrie Koh: 00:02:41

I've got my 10 K month, 20 K month.

Carrie Koh: 00:02:43

I made a hundred K month.

Carrie Koh: 00:02:45

I hit seven figures, whatever that number is, right?

Carrie Koh: 00:02:48

They're using that number to say and buy my thing, and you

Carrie Koh: 00:02:53

can have these results too.

Carrie Koh: 00:02:55

And so there's this expectation of these big results, and then

Carrie Koh: 00:02:59

it leads to disappointment.

Carrie Koh: 00:03:01

And I've been part of this, right?

Carrie Koh: 00:03:02

I have been part of these big launches that promise the world.

Carrie Koh: 00:03:07

And then when I get in there, maybe I've learned one strategy or one

Carrie Koh: 00:03:10

tactic, but it certainly didn't move the financial needle in my business.

Carrie Koh: 00:03:15

And.

Carrie Koh: 00:03:16

Sure there's part of this that's like, you know, there are people selling things

Carrie Koh: 00:03:20

that they shouldn't, there are people promising things that they shouldn't.

Carrie Koh: 00:03:23

I'll never forget this entrepreneur.

Carrie Koh: 00:03:25

he was pretty new and he blew up within like probably a year and 18 months to

Carrie Koh: 00:03:29

like multimillions and he was, selling an offer that was promising a lot of revenue,

Carrie Koh: 00:03:36

but the problem was inside the offer.

Carrie Koh: 00:03:39

It only gave a small subsection of what he did to gain the revenue that he gained.

Carrie Koh: 00:03:46

And so it was making these big promises.

Carrie Koh: 00:03:49

But when I talked to the people who'd gone through the program, they

Carrie Koh: 00:03:52

hadn't received any more revenue.

Carrie Koh: 00:03:54

Right?

Carrie Koh: 00:03:54

they'd done the work, it was a done for you service.

Carrie Koh: 00:03:56

So they had all the work, but they didn't have the revenue.

Carrie Koh: 00:04:00

Now, why is that?

Carrie Koh: 00:04:01

There's a couple of reasons.

Carrie Koh: 00:04:02

Number one, there are just offers out there that are promising

Carrie Koh: 00:04:06

something that they don't deliver.

Carrie Koh: 00:04:07

Okay?

Carrie Koh: 00:04:07

So that's number one.

Carrie Koh: 00:04:09

Whenever you are investing in something, really understand how the people who

Carrie Koh: 00:04:14

are selling the thing got the result.

Carrie Koh: 00:04:17

And is that what's in their offer and is that how you want to get the results?

Carrie Koh: 00:04:22

Those are two very, very important questions, but furthermore, what is really

Carrie Koh: 00:04:27

important is that we look at why some of us don't get the results that others do,

Carrie Koh: 00:04:34

and sure there is a, bit of like belief.

Carrie Koh: 00:04:37

100%.

Carrie Koh: 00:04:38

If we don't believe that results are possible for us,

Carrie Koh: 00:04:41

we will not get the results.

Carrie Koh: 00:04:43

Like hands down like that is so important if you believe it will happen.

Carrie Koh: 00:04:48

but that's not totally true, right?

Carrie Koh: 00:04:50

It's not just belief.

Carrie Koh: 00:04:51

You can't just like manifest your way by laying on the couch and believing

Carrie Koh: 00:04:54

and then it suddenly happens.

Carrie Koh: 00:04:56

No, we have to take really aligned action.

Carrie Koh: 00:05:00

And not just any action, it has to be revenue producing action, and it has to be

Carrie Koh: 00:05:04

action that is aligned with our authority.

Carrie Koh: 00:05:07

So if we are purchasing things that are someone else's templates, someone else's,

Carrie Koh: 00:05:14

Step by step process to get them a result.

Carrie Koh: 00:05:18

It may, may not be in an alignment with our authority.

Carrie Koh: 00:05:21

It may not feel right for us.

Carrie Koh: 00:05:22

the very first program that I purchased, I spent $10,000.

Carrie Koh: 00:05:26

Um, it was the very first program.

Carrie Koh: 00:05:29

It was not a low ticket program, and it was this step.

Carrie Koh: 00:05:33

teaching that I was going to use and it just didn't feel aligned.

Carrie Koh: 00:05:38

It felt like it took away my authority rather than help boost my authority.

Carrie Koh: 00:05:42

It felt like I was copying someone and that didn't feel good.

Carrie Koh: 00:05:45

It didn't feel in line with my integrity.

Carrie Koh: 00:05:47

And so what I realized is in order for me to get rapid results, I

Carrie Koh: 00:05:53

needed the key business foundations.

Carrie Koh: 00:05:56

Okay?

Carrie Koh: 00:05:57

Like there's just a subset of business foundations that we all need

Carrie Koh: 00:06:00

in our business to create impact.

Carrie Koh: 00:06:02

But then I needed to insert my own authority, my own creativity, into those

Carrie Koh: 00:06:09

strategies in order for them to work.

Carrie Koh: 00:06:11

So it's not enough to just copy someone else's strategy.

Carrie Koh: 00:06:14

it just does not ever work because we're leaving your genius on the table.

Carrie Koh: 00:06:18

We're your creativity on the table when we do that.

Carrie Koh: 00:06:23

And so if you look at your business, If you have an online service-based business,

Carrie Koh: 00:06:28

quite frankly, if you have a product-based business as well and you're trying to

Carrie Koh: 00:06:31

sell your products online, there are some key things that you need to know about.

Carrie Koh: 00:06:35

You need to know how to articulate your authority to become the thought leader, to

Carrie Koh: 00:06:40

become the go-to solution, offer building.

Carrie Koh: 00:06:43

How do you build an offer that is something that your audience desires?

Carrie Koh: 00:06:48

You need to know.

Carrie Koh: 00:06:49

About sales and marketing, and you need to personalize those sales

Carrie Koh: 00:06:53

and marketing strategies to you.

Carrie Koh: 00:06:55

You have to just drop the scripts.

Carrie Koh: 00:06:57

Scripts do not work.

Carrie Koh: 00:06:58

Please, please, please stop using scripts on sales calls like you

Carrie Koh: 00:07:01

will not close using scripts.

Carrie Koh: 00:07:04

Okay, maybe low ticket clients but.

Carrie Koh: 00:07:06

Really, if you want repeatable business, we have to create a personalized

Carrie Koh: 00:07:11

sales and marketing strategy that inserts your genius and you need

Carrie Koh: 00:07:15

to know about audience building.

Carrie Koh: 00:07:16

I remember I bought a launch program early on I bought all the things.

Carrie Koh: 00:07:20

So first I bought a course creation product.

Carrie Koh: 00:07:22

Okay?

Carrie Koh: 00:07:22

So I built this big beautiful course.

Carrie Koh: 00:07:25

Oh my gosh.

Carrie Koh: 00:07:26

It had everything but the kitchen sink.

Carrie Koh: 00:07:27

I priced it at 9 97 because you know, somebody told me

Carrie Koh: 00:07:31

to, and I worked four months.

Carrie Koh: 00:07:34

I got my hair done, makeup done, I got a teleprompter.

Carrie Koh: 00:07:37

I did all of the things.

Carrie Koh: 00:07:39

Okay.

Carrie Koh: 00:07:39

This is a beautiful course.

Carrie Koh: 00:07:41

It still exists today, but guess what?

Carrie Koh: 00:07:43

Nobody bought it.

Carrie Koh: 00:07:43

Why?

Carrie Koh: 00:07:45

Why did no one buy it?

Carrie Koh: 00:07:46

Because I did not have an audience.

Carrie Koh: 00:07:48

I just started Who was I going to launch to?

Carrie Koh: 00:07:51

No one, the ether, like nobody was there.

Carrie Koh: 00:07:54

So, when you look at these things that we buy, the order

Carrie Koh: 00:07:59

in which we buy them matters.

Carrie Koh: 00:08:01

And so was like, okay, this person has, created millions

Carrie Koh: 00:08:05

and of dollars creating courses.

Carrie Koh: 00:08:07

This quote, passive income, fyi, no such thing.

Carrie Koh: 00:08:10

Passive income does not exist.

Carrie Koh: 00:08:12

It is a lie.

Carrie Koh: 00:08:13

Industry tells you.

Carrie Koh: 00:08:14

Okay?

Carrie Koh: 00:08:14

everything.

Carrie Koh: 00:08:15

Requires your active participation.

Carrie Koh: 00:08:18

but this promise of Passive income was there, you know, so I spent

Carrie Koh: 00:08:23

months and then I was like, oh my God, who's gonna buy this thing?

Carrie Koh: 00:08:25

And I then bought a launch program, how to launch from the Launch gurus.

Carrie Koh: 00:08:29

Right.

Carrie Koh: 00:08:29

He was amazing.

Carrie Koh: 00:08:31

And again, I had nobody to launch to.

Carrie Koh: 00:08:34

I didn't have a list.

Carrie Koh: 00:08:35

I didn't have an audience.

Carrie Koh: 00:08:37

I had nothing except for this beautiful course, and I wasted Thousands of dollars,

Carrie Koh: 00:08:43

thousands of hours with no revenue.

Carrie Koh: 00:08:46

This is why I'm so passionate about revenue first, and the way

Carrie Koh: 00:08:48

you make revenue first is you trust your own creative ideas.

Carrie Koh: 00:08:53

You look at the business foundation, every single business needs, and you

Carrie Koh: 00:08:57

build them based on your authority.

Carrie Koh: 00:08:59

And when you do that, you start to trust yourself because you start

Carrie Koh: 00:09:03

to take action that is in alignment with your authority that you know is

Carrie Koh: 00:09:08

building that business foundation.

Carrie Koh: 00:09:09

So it is revenue producing action.

Carrie Koh: 00:09:11

And then you look at what worked, you look at, at what was a complete

Carrie Koh: 00:09:15

flop, and then you refine it.

Carrie Koh: 00:09:17

And then you do it again, and you do it again, and you do it

Carrie Koh: 00:09:21

again and again until it works.

Carrie Koh: 00:09:23

And this is the way that you build revenue You don't follow someone else's cookie

Carrie Koh: 00:09:29

cutter template that worked for them.

Carrie Koh: 00:09:31

We don't know what else they had.

Carrie Koh: 00:09:33

We don't know what other skillsets they brought to the table We do know

Carrie Koh: 00:09:36

that they use their own creativity and genius to create something.

Carrie Koh: 00:09:40

And so this is why inside my client attraction program, I give you those.

Carrie Koh: 00:09:44

foundations.

Carrie Koh: 00:09:45

that you insert your creativity, your authority, so that you make it your own.

Carrie Koh: 00:09:52

single person who has ever closed a client inside my client attraction

Carrie Koh: 00:09:57

program has done it their own way.

Carrie Koh: 00:09:59

They've inserted their own stories, their own genius, their

Carrie Koh: 00:10:02

who they are, and that's how.

Carrie Koh: 00:10:05

You get your strategies to work, not by outsourcing your own authority to

Carrie Koh: 00:10:10

someone else who's made more money to you.

Carrie Koh: 00:10:12

So can you focus on those business foundations?

Carrie Koh: 00:10:16

Where do you need to really step into that competency, that

Carrie Koh: 00:10:20

belief that, willingness to.

Carrie Koh: 00:10:24

do the work consistently, get out there, do those entrepreneurial

Carrie Koh: 00:10:27

actions so that you start to see the progress I want you to feel it.

Carrie Koh: 00:10:32

I want you to literally like look at your body and, say, where do I feel this?

Carrie Koh: 00:10:36

What does this feel like?

Carrie Koh: 00:10:37

Because when you can embody what it feels like when things are

Carrie Koh: 00:10:40

working and you are reflecting and refining when you're improving,

Carrie Koh: 00:10:44

that is what it takes to create.

Carrie Koh: 00:10:47

A sustainable business creates impact.

Carrie Koh: 00:10:50

So just because it worked for them doesn't mean it's gonna work for you.

Carrie Koh: 00:10:54

But trust that there is a that will work for you.

Carrie Koh: 00:10:59

Take what you can from these programs that you're buying and make it your own.

Carrie Koh: 00:11:04

Do what feels good and aligned.
