Think you need a finished product before you start selling? Think again.
In this episode, I’m sharing how one $17 sale in a parking lot changed everything—and why proof of concept is the most powerful momentum builder you’ll ever find.
You’ll hear the full story behind my very first digital product launch, how I went from knowing nothing about marketing to seeing sales roll in while on vacation, and why launching before building is the fastest path to real results.
I’ll walk you through the simple testing methodology my partners are using right now to get sales—often before their product is even created—and how we’re helping first-time offer creators see wins within days, not months.
If you’re sitting on an idea and waiting for the perfect time to launch… this is your wake-up call. There’s never been a lower-risk, higher-reward moment to test your digital product idea—and this episode will show you exactly why.
