I'm wondering what is the difference between a Case Study and a client Testimonial @George Kao? Is there a Kao course for that lol?

DR

@Chantal McIntyre I think testimonial is directly written/spoken by the client, and a case study is the transformation story of client you're writing (or co-creating with the client)

@Dipanshu Rawal thanks so much, that makes sense! A case study in Corporate was a white paper with a lot of stats and research science, etc. so I thought maybe 🤔 it was different as a solo pro! Phew 😮‍💨

Price for different countries? 6:22
Price your thing differently depending on where they live? (bad idea)

Some of us serve clients who live in different economies. For example, you might live in the USA but have clients in Canada, Australia, UK, India. My advice is to keep the same price for everyone. 1. It's simpler. (You won't ever have to justify your different pricing to any clients nor feel guilty about it.) 2. It's more sustainable for your business. (Spend way less time figuring out different pricing and what it means for paying your bills.) It doesn't make sense to me to adjust your price downward for those in lower-income economies or because of "currency differences" because you don't live there. Your own expenses are still tethered to your own economy. Beware of practicing a martyr complex. You must price your offers based on what it takes you to live well, so that you never become resentful of the energy that your clients require of you. Also, don't price your thing upwards for people who live in a higher-economy region. You don't really know their financial situation. (This is a preview lesson.

Last year, I actually had a client from Bangladesh opting for full price in payment plans, and a client from Europe opt for a scholarship slot because they were struggling.

Shaun's past IG workflow 9:20
Shaun's past IG workflow

Started with a personal account.  I started making videos, posting clips on IG, and photos of myself giving love advice. Then, I created a podcast and posted audiograms and images of my guests. Started creating really simple quote posts in Canva/Adobe Express and added more text in the post.  Made sure the content was snackable and easy to share.  In 2019, I made the very first Q&A story to Reel that I know of.  Later that year, I did my first solo Live video. Completely unscripted, one take on a single subject, speaking to one person.  Experimented with taking a clip from a course.  Experimented with different looks.  Wrote blog posts on Medium, found the most highlighted quotes, and used those as the quote post.  Or, dropped a few posts on Twitter, saw which got the most likes, took a screenshot, cropped it square, and posted it to IG.

Wow! I'm so inspired looking at your journey, 

@Shaun Galanos 

2 lessons stood out for me from this video:

1. Let's slow down. I'm in it for years, and not only a few days.

2. Trying and having fun with so many different ways of content. Not letting "branding nazis" to influence my creative experimentations.

SG

@Dipanshu Rawal Yes, I love these takeaways. You're definitely in it for the long haul; it's a marathon, not a sprint, and throw lots of spaghetti at the wall!

At the moment I am LOVING Simone Grace Seol - she is authentic, bold and kinda rough, she pivots whenever she wants and says what she thinks. I admire that kind of depth of courage and integrity - she walks her talk.  She uses BOTH writing and video in easy to throw together DIY ways and yet they are VERY powerful. She doesn’t “stay in her lane” and covers a range of topics: nervous system, business and mysticism and psychology - in ways that are very resonant for me.

@Mira Rao Same. She's grown in a totally diff way.  I've been watching even when she's said some things that made me go.. "huh"? that's not going to land well... and I love what she shows up with.
DR
Dipanshu Rawal 🔤 ABC

@Mira Rao I followed her for a while, but then I read a few posts of her that gave strong manipulation vibes. 

I went online to do some research about her, and reddit has a lot of comments on Simone's shady tactics. 

Here's one of them: https://www.reddit.com/r/Li...

This may not be the best link, though.

@Dipanshu Rawal thanks for bringing this forward. I never felt right about her, but I chalked it up to my own envy and the fact that I reached out to her about collaboration and she never responded 😞 I guess maybe I dodged a bullet...

Also, I understand that she sells lifetime membership (expensive) to an ongoing program and that kind of biz model never sat right with me: how can a business sustainably promise to support members who pay only once, for life? Seems like it would become natural to therefore focus on 's energy on selling, and wowing new members...

Sorry I don't mean to publicly criticize a colleague, but do feel it's right to be publicly discuss a biz model that seems unethical to me.

Woah I just read the Reddit link that 

@Dipanshu Rawal shared... eye opening and a cautionary tale for me and all who coach in a group...

@George Kao being able to openly discuss all this makes me grateful to be here! learning a lot

@George Kao hah! I've seen so many of these reddits for SOOOOO many people. And elsewhere.. so many public displays of allllll sorts for nearly every single practitioner/coach etc etc out there.  Even including the likes of Tony Robbins.

Just like nearly every certification that exists out there is b.s -- also an unpopular opinion. Guess I'll get cancelled next. 🪓 lol 

How I approach this stuff now is... I don't have to *like* every single detail about how a person runs their business, but there might be elements of what they are sharing that do resonate. 

So I take the nuggets of wisdom... and leave the rest that doesn't align for me.

And not to defend her because I won't... she has actually changed her business model for her "life time" program.   It used to be $2500, and now she has various tiers. She's certainly ruffled feathers in previous years... mine included and there have been moments where I've wanted to connect with her personally and ask her wtf she thought she was and what she was doing.. but then I remembered... I have my own business to worry about... and her problems aren't my problems.

I really trust and believe that the inauthentic players always get what is coming to them. 💜

@Heather Tobin great response.  Yes, take what resonates, leave the rest!

I've only come to Simone's work in the past year, and I do appreciate what she shares on her instagram. A lot of it is common sense reminders for me. 

Having said that, I scanned the reddit post. I don't know what to think, nor do I actually care enough to deep dive into it. 

I've witnessed a couple remarkable peers being taken down with wild, cruel, untrue or overly inflated accusations that have taken them years to recover from, so I always hold a bit of scepticism when reading threads like that. 

Not saying it's true/not true, I just don't like online mobbings and tear downs of public figures.

I also think it's perfectly appropriate to limit comments/delete comments on your own posts. I know this isn't the popular opinion, but in what world did we agree that all ideas/opinions/wisdom we share MUST be open to public commentary by any and all strangers on the internet. And that we must then moderate/placate? Absolutely not!
