Shownotes

In this episode, we (Molly & Jason at whypeopledostuff.com) dive into all things about helping your clients or students actually follow through and get the results they signed up for. We chat about what might be holding them back, what you can do to help, and what’s totally up to them.

Why do people buy access to the water, you lead them to it... and they don't drink it?! 🫣

It can be really upsetting and frustrating when you sell a program, course or service... and the people don't stick with it. They don't listen, follow through or stick around long enough to see results.

Which means YOU feel like a failure. Or you blame humans for being human. Or both.

What can you do to make sure that more of your people stick through and see the outcomes you'd love them to get?

This episode will give you all new perspectives on what it takes to influence results for your clients & students... and which parts you do actually have control over.

And some of the what's and why's of your mind as an entrepreneur... and your audience's mind, when it comes to how "success" is perceived in your programs.

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE anyway?

Serial entrepreneurs, quick-starters, researchers, nerds and goofballs. This show is for business owners who love interesting conversations about how minds work.

After many years of running several high-profit multi-6-figures/year businesses (with very little team and a super tiny audience), Molly & Jason are the brains behind WhyPeopleDoStuff.com - a place for entrepreneurs to learn more about how their audience's mind works... what people want, why they buy, how they think, and how to work out your OFFERS and sales skills around those core key psychological quirks and rules.

Molly is a self-proclaimed people nerd. Mildly extroverted, bubbly, empathetic and a "genius" according to her friends and kids. She collects coffee mugs and introverts.

Jason is a critical thinking analyzer... picking apart puzzles and proudly carrying an "Extreme Introvert" label.

Their kids (Kyle, Julia and Casey) are homeschooled, taken all over the world (thanks to the online business lifestyle!) and spend an inordinate amount of time talking about psychology. Occasionally the kids will make appearances on the show as well... talking about things that they themselves have become early experts in.

The show will also have other guests on, helping all of us entrepreneurs love & understand the wonderful world of... why people do stuff.
