One of Chuck’s favorite quotes is:
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

One of the marketing strategies he uses is Facebook advertising. He tries to get his target customers off Facebook onto a squeeze page. He also uses an email list.
22: 11: Chuck says that the biggest bottleneck is staying consistent with optimizing their ads campaigns. He doesn’t use copywriting because he thinks that conveying the right message through it can take a lot of time.

30: 40: James adds that if we have an honest product that adds massive value to people, then we are doing them a disservice by not finding them. We need to remember to treat marketing like meeting people. We get so excited what we have to say, but we forget to start having a conversation and focusing on them. What are the questions your prospects are asking themselves? What do they doubt about themselves? Once you know these questions you can address these questions conversationally with your message.
32: 19: When somebody clicks from the lead to your squeeze page, what are you offering them as an incentive to tell you who they are? This is another question that James asks Chuck to answer.
35: 45: James reveals to Chuck and listeners things they are supposed to do the moment somebody clicks from the lead to their squeeze page. He says that you don’t need to worry about selling them on that landing page. The way to capture leads is not to go for the sale or say “hey can you buy my product or service.” The best thing you should do is to ask your target customer the burning question they might have in their mind. A serious customer will give you his or her email or contact to see how you would answer the question that they already been asking themselves.
38: 15: Chuck says that some of his clients would ask questions such as, “How did I let this happen? How did I let myself slide so far back? How do I lose this fat and lose it now?”
41: 44: James says that best way for magnetic marketing is knowing things that you can give your customers or prospects that in a very short period they rest assured that you have given them a win that they’ve been looking for.
43: 45: James says that you need to have a very simple offer. You don’t need to tell them about all the wonderful things that you’re going to help them with later down the line. You don’t even need to tell them about their family and the fact that you know their sex life is going to be better, and their kids are going to be happier because their mom is like more engaged and all that sort of thing. You need to offer them an offer that is going to eliminate their emotional problems within 12 hours.
