Notable Quotes:

• “If I’m not delivering value, I don’t want your money—and I don’t deserve your money.”

• “You can’t steer a parked car, needed to get some momentum going.”

• “The best way to learn is to actually make a mistake and you will never make that mistake again. Pain is the best teacher.”

3. Create a short, behind-the-scenes video of the client experience to use on the homepage (see 35:37).
4. Explore creative add-ons (AI interviews, puzzles, paintings) to package with the core offer (see 39:07).
