Friend wins by unanimous decision 🥊
I used to watch a bit of UFC.
Back when McGregor was a thing.
Yeah, yeah - mainstream.
I’m a sucker for sports gossip anyway. NBA mostly.
One thing I do remember though:
Sometimes, even if nobody got knocked out... someone still won.
By unanimous decision.
Translation? The data decided the fight.
Not the fire.
Boring, right? You sit there for 8 rounds (or 6, who knows lol) — and then:
“Friend wins by unanimous decision.”
That’s how my last 4 months have felt.
I ran a $9 trial.
80 new Modern Makers said yes this round.
But the numbers didn’t tell the full story.
Because behind those 80 came some:
Misaligned fits
Increase of churn
More admin
And for me, it's now a lot more about WHO is in the group that the sheer number.
I want it to be all about us, and what we do, so I'm more selective for the benefit of the group.
So yeah - on paper, I “won.”
But not by knockout.
This month, I’m choosing ease over efficiency.
Alignment over admin.
That’s why this will be the last $9 trial for some time. (Not sure yet, but I'll figure it out)
Platforms + payment setups just don’t play nice - and I’m not changing platforms for this (yet).
Weekly pricing still stands next time.
But this round? It’s your last shot to join before I put trial away for a while.
Grab a seat here (https://modernmaker.xyz) if you want, before it resumes back to weekly in 6 days time.
I've just launched Peggy The Persuasion Bot as well, she's a keeper apparently.
And just for laughs, these are the kind of things we'll be up to in today's workshop:
