attention so you can grow faster & make more

LEVELS OF AWARENESS
Unaware - Doesn’t know how something is affecting their life or business.
Problem Aware - Knows there is a problem but doesn’t know how to solve it.
Solution Aware - Knows there is a solution but doesn’t know about yours.
Product Aware - Knows about you, your solution, and your product.
These should be accounted for throughout your entire funnel and content.

Problem callout - Most content sucks…
Potential benefit - How to quit your job…
Negativity bias - Flip something on its head.
Confidence - Confidence is naturally polarizing (and people aren’t confident)

authority, and authenticity.
