That’s how David Han started.
With an apology.
Andrew had asked for a review. The kind people usually record on video. David wasn’t ready for that.
"New to this world of Zoom and video review so still a bit camera shy."
Hold on to that line. It’s funnier than it looks.
The weekly meeting
David had signed up for Lead Gen Jay’s program. And he’d been meeting with Andrew every week, on Zoom.
The same Zoom he was still getting used to.
Before he even got to the review itself, he said it twice.
"I really appreciate the weekly meeting. I’ve gotten so much value from the weekly meeting."
Then he added a line with a little smile on the end.
"I would say the best thing that I’ve gotten from signing up for Lead Gen Jay...:)"
Not the course. Not the templates.
The meeting.
The platform
Then came the review itself.
David was building a lead generation platform for his company, Cornerstone Capital.
"Andrew has been extremely valuable to my company and has played a key role in figuring out and really dialing in my lead generation platform."
Figuring out and really dialing in.
That’s two different jobs.
Figuring out is the early part, when you’re still deciding what the thing should even be.
Dialing in is the later part, when it works but not well enough yet.
David credited Andrew with both.
"He has gone the extra mile to provide valuable insight and information. I wouldn’t have achieved such progress in such a short time without his generous sharing of experience in the lead generation sector."
The growing pains
Here’s the part that matters most for anyone building something.
"I can confirm that without his guidance and our weekly zoom meetings, I wouldn’t have been able to scale so quickly. I was able to avoid most of the growing pains."
Every business that grows has growing pains.
The expensive ones are the mistakes you only learn by making them. The wrong tool. The wrong setup. The thing that breaks the week you finally get busy.
You can pay for those lessons yourself.
Or you can sit down once a week with someone who’s already paid for them, and borrow what they learned.
David chose the second option.
And he got to skip most of the bill.
The funny part
Now go back to the opening.
A man who was new to Zoom. Too camera shy to record a video.
And yet there he was on Zoom, meeting after meeting.
Because that’s where the help was.
He couldn’t bring himself to talk to a camera for a minute.
But every week, he showed up to talk to Andrew.
