Key Point from Our Group Call:
- Greg: “I would always recommend that you sell it however you’re gonna sell it, live or via sales page or whatever it is, and wait till you have buyers before you create the thing. Because I’ve seen so many good people spend weeks, months, and years creating a thing that nobody wants. And that’s the case more often than not, we think we know what our marketplace wants, we don’t. They will tell us what they want and the best way to tell us what they want is with their wallet.”
