Have you ever wondered if all the advice you’ve heard about growing your email list is actually true? Or felt like you’re pouring time and energy into lead generation strategies that just don’t seem to deliver?

In this solo episode, I’m diving deep into some of the biggest myths surrounding list building, lead generation, and funnels—especially for those of us who are focused on attracting the right clients, not just any clients.

Here’s the thing: So many "gurus" will tell you that the bigger your list, the better, or that Facebook ads and fancy funnels are your secret weapon. But in reality, it’s all about quality over quantity, building meaningful relationships, and focusing on long-term, sustainable strategies. Tune in as we pull back the curtain on these myths and discover what really works.

On This Week’s Episode, We Discuss:

  1. The List Size Myth - Why "bigger is better" isn’t always true when it comes to your email list, and why engagement beats numbers every time.
  2. The Fancy Funnels Fallacy - Why elaborate funnels aren’t the magic solution many claim they are, and how focusing on authentic audience relationships leads to lasting success.
  3. Rethinking Ads - Are Facebook ads really the fastest way to grow your list? We’ll dive into when ads make sense and when they could just be wasting your money.
  4. What Makes a Lead Magnet Effective - How to create a lead magnet that actually solves a problem and attracts your ideal clients—without the fluff.
  5. Building Authentic Connections - Strategies for turning your audience into a community through real, meaningful interactions that keep them coming back.
  6. Harnessing Organic Traffic and Collaborations - How to leverage podcast guesting, collaborations, and other organic methods to grow your influence without spending a fortune.
