New Article: How To Uninstall Your Audience’s False Beliefs Through Storytelling
Harsh truth:Low-ticket offers are great for customer acquisition…But you’re never gonna get rich selling $3 books, $7 toolkits, or $27 courses unless you already have millions of followers.This is where high-ticket offers come in.These offer much bigger profit margins for you as the creator and much better results for your customers.Selling high-ticket requires more persuasion, though.You can’t just send someone to a checkout page and watch the sales roll in.Instead, you need to uninstall the hidden mental malware holding them back before presenting your offer.This mental malware is known as a “False Belief.”Here’s how it works:

What I’m Up To These Days…
Personally:
✈️ Planning a 3-week safari in Tanzania for 2026. This will (hopefully) include a visit to a small island off the coast where you can walk among one of the largest living tribes of chimpanzees anywhere in the world.🤔 Reflecting on the theme for my next tattoo. This will be my first full arm sleeve and I want it to be perfect, but I’m feeling pulled in multiple directions. I think Asian-style art like this is absolutely sick, and while both martial arts and Eastern philosophy have played a huge role in my life, I’m not sure if this is the way I want to go. Decisions, decisions!💡 Gearing up for the gloomy winter season with a few NIRA lights. It doesn’t snow a ton here in Toronto, but the darkness is depressing. I heard about these lights, which also contain red and near infrared light in addition to the typical blue, on a podcast. Curious to see whether they makes a noticeable difference on my mood.
Professionally:
✍️ Working to self-publish my first nonfiction book on Amazon. Target launch date is early to mid-January 2025. Writing books has always been a dream of mine, so I’m very excited about this 🙂🤑 Mapping out the vision & roadmap for my new private community, where I’ll be working closely with a handful of coaches, consultants & experts to help them grow & monetize their newsletter with Email Storyselling. This will launch sometime in Q1 2025.🎥 Learning to create video ads with Descript. As a writer, I’ve always tried to steer clear of anything video-related. But this is such a huge lever, and AI tools like Descript have made it a helluva lot easier for people like to produce professional-looking videos. Really enjoying it so far, and have produced some insane results for clients already.
What I’m Reading Right Now:
📚 The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene. A fascinating study of power through the lens of historical figures like Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, P.T. Barnum, and more.📚 Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson. A hard sci-fi story and the first in a trilogy about terraforming Mars. I’m approaching it as research for the eventual sci-fi trilogy I want to write.📚 Awareness by Anthony DeMello. A classic about life and spirituality that I’ve never made time for, despite having it recommended to me multiple times. So I finally decided to pull the trigger and read it over the holidays.
What I’m Listening To Right Now:
🎵 Episode #337 of The Future Beats Show by Complexion. TFBS is a spacey mix of house, hip hop, and lo-fi, and has been the soundtrack to my life for the past 10 years. The latest episode does not disappoint.🎵 Rooftop Mix by Fred again… I’ve been seeing his name pop up again and again, but was never a big fan until hearing this delightful mix.🎵 4 Hours of Relaxing Halo Music by pmcl. As a millennial who grew up doing Xbox LAN parties with friends, this is a lovely stroll down memory lane. Makes for great work beats too.

Testimonials
“I've worked with Jim for 5, 6, 7 years now and he was literally one of the first people I ever met in the space back when I was scrapping things together with my agency. This dude's just been automatic ever since I've known him. And not only is he automatic on every single thing I've ever asked him to do, but at the same time, he's extremely fast.”
— Cole Gordon, CEO, Closers.io
“Jim is an unbelievable copywriter. He found my voice SO quickly! The moment I got copy back from Jim, I didn't have to tweak it at all or change anything. The other thing, which I think is his hidden superpower, is the understanding of the strategy. The funnels, the email sequences, and how it's all supposed to flow together.”
— Justin Moore, CEO, Creator Wizard
