Send us a textEver find yourself repeatedly avoiding certain business tasks, despite knowing they're "effective"? That resistance might be telling you something crucial about alignment.In this deeply personal episode, I open up about my recent therapy journey and how it's transformed my understanding of business resistance. After shifting from coaching subscription box founders to working with online entrepreneurs, I found myself dreading the "proven" tactics of LinkedIn outreach and sales calls. This dread wasn't laziness—it was a misalignment with my authentic approach and energy.Drawing from business leader Scott Alford's teachings on alignment, I explore how entrepreneurs often push through resistance, mistaking it for a mindset issue when it's actually a compass pointing toward what truly works for us. I share the moment I realized the hypocrisy of using high-pressure sales tactics to sell a program about non-pushy email marketing, and how this clarity helped me reframe my entire approach.The most profound insight? Sustainable business isn't just about doing the work—it's about choosing work that energizes rather than depletes you. I outline my shift toward genuine connections, value-first engagements, and nurturing relationships through email and community building—methods that honor my strengths while still achieving business goals.This episode offers a gentle reframe for entrepreneurs feeling stuck: perhaps you're not broken or undisciplined—you're simply bumping up against methods that don't match your energy anymore. If business has felt heavy lately, I invite you to consider what alignment might look like for you. Your resistance might be your greatest teacher.Has this resonated with you?

Send us a textSometimes the most powerful business lessons come from admitting we were wrong. After years of dismissing social media marketing in favor of email strategies, I've discovered a system that's transforming how coaches and consultants generate clients from their social platforms—without being pushy or sales-focused.Social media can be a powerful channel for generating clients when approached as a conversation starter rather than a passive billboard for your services. Every notification represents an implicit request for help, providing opportunities to initiate authentic conversations that can lead to client relationships.• Content alone doesn't convert; it's the conversations sparked by content that drive sales• The system follows a simple path: Content → Conversation → Client• Post feed content that explains your expertise and approach• Use interactive story features (polls, sliders, questions) to identify engaged followers• Follow up on engagement with friendly, non-salesy messages• Every like, comment and story reply is someone subtly raising their hand• Be consistent with valuable content that clearly explains how you help• Multiple sales channels (email, social, community) create more opportunities for conversation• No need for cold DMing or sleazy tactics - just respond to the interest signals already there• This approach works regardless of your following sizeComing soon: I'll be officially announcing the Skool Community this Friday.

Send us a textToday we discuss selling without sales calls. Sales calls aren't always necessary for selling high-ticket coaching; a well-crafted offer and strategic email communication can often be more effective. We've discovered that by shifting from traditional sales calls to email-based conversations, coaches can sell $1,000-$2,000 programs more efficiently while maintaining strong conversion rates.• A dialed-in offer is the foundation – clear promise, clear path, clear reason to act now• Story-based emails that shift beliefs are more powerful than calendar links• Conversations still matter, but they can happen via email rather than calls• Email replies indicate higher intent than scheduling a sales call• Your offer should focus on outcomes and results, not processes and tasks• Tag people who reply to your emails and have a systematic follow-up process• For $5,000+ offers, sales calls might still be the most effective approachJoin my new free email marketing skill community where I teach live training every week on writing emails that generate sales.Click here to access my new free community & course on writing story-based emails using the 5 Lever Framework.

Send us a textThe digital revolution that transformed our world with the internet in the 1990s is happening again—only this time, it's through AI agents. While most of us have become accustomed to working with AI assistants like ChatGPT, we're standing at the threshold of something far more transformative.AI agents aren't just responsive tools waiting for your next prompt—they're autonomous workers that execute complete tasks without continuous human guidance.Picture sending a simple voice message and having an agent transcribe it, understand your request, and independently handle tasks like summarizing your recent emails or drafting personalized messages to contacts. These digital workers can manage your inbox, schedule meetings, run marketing campaigns, negotiate with prospects, and move deals through your pipeline while you focus elsewhere.What makes this shift particularly powerful is the ability to create hierarchical systems of specialized agents.• AI agents can manage emails, book meetings, create calendar events, and even handle sales pipelines autonomously• Unlike ChatGPT which requires continuous prompting, agents take independent action based on instructions• Multiple agents can work together in a hierarchy, with one generating content and others reviewing before it reaches you• Solopreneurs can leverage AI agents to compete with larger companies by automating sales, marketing and fulfillment• AI agents can replace expensive SaaS tools by scraping the internet for leads and managing personalized follow-ups• Early adopters who implement AI agents will gain significant competitive advantages• Tools like N8N (n8n.io) provide the infrastructure to build and deploy these agent workflowsStart by identifying repetitive tasks in your business that drain your time and creativity, then explore how AI agents might handle those responsibilities. This isn't just about efficiency—it's about fundamentally reimagining what's possible for solopreneurs and small businesses competing in markets previously dominated by larger organizations with deeper resources. The AI agent revolution is here—will you lead it or follow it? Please suggest any topic you would like me to cover by visiting unboxtheinbox.com Join my newsletter at garyredmond.com/newsletter
