Summary

What would change about how you promote your membership if you knew you'd be selling it for the next 70 years? That's exactly what brands like Gucci have done... finding fresh, exciting ways to sell the same iconic products for decades.

If you've been going through the motions with your promotions, focusing on getting everything "right" instead of infusing your marketing with what makes you magnetic, this episode will shake some new ideas loose! I'm sharing two powerful prompts (with plenty of examples) to help you start thinking like someone who's building a world people want to step into... not just a membership people join.
