CIP Season 2 117: Do or Die – If This Doesn’t Work, His Coaching Business Is Over – Part 1 with Brandon Rickman

Today’s episode is going to be a little different because it’s not a training session or another ‘here’s what you should do’ conversation.

Tom Krol puts Brandon Rickman on a 90-day “do or die” challenge with no funnels, no team, and no polished branding. Just a daily execution and a clear goal: get real clients and real revenue.

Listen as you will hear the exact game plan Brandon is given, from refining his offer and social media, to simplifying his website and going live every single day, and sending daily emails. Enjoy the show!
