We don’t need 1000s of people

100-150 DISCIPLES: One of the key things that I like to explain to audiences is that we don’t actually need as big an audience as we think we do.

If we want to get, say, 10 or 12 new ideal ‘sweet spot’ clients, what we really need is probably about 100 to 150 people who are devoted to the outcome that you can help them achieve.

Now, I refer to these people as disciples, because the word disciple means devoted.

In order to uncover your 150 or 100 disciples, all we really need is about a thousand people. We don’t need tens of thousands people or massive lists or social media followings.

We need to find about a thousand people so that we can whittle that down to a 100- 150 disciples, and those are the people who you would focus most of your attention on because out of that you’ll get your 10 or 12 next clients.
