Here's the most dangerous question that a coach will be hit with:
"Can I pick your brain?"
On the surface, it seems like an innocent request.
After all, what's the harm of spending time helping a fellow human being ... coaches are supposed to help people, right???
But if you aren't careful, you can easily lose 100 (or more) hours every year on "innocent" brainpicking requests that distract you from the productive things you need to be doing to grow your business.
Since there's currently a brainpicking apocalypse facing coaches, they need a survival guide to ensure their bank accounts don't take a big hit from this dangerous activity ...
And I've written it.
The May issue of my Secret Coach Club hard copy newsletter is a "Brainpickers Survival Guide", which will include:
- The five essential rules you must follow to survive hordes of brainpickers hovering around you and live to see another day ...
- A mental trick to keep yourself from feeling guilty for valuing your time and denying such requests ...
- How to protect your time and set up fortifications around your business (including motivation and a template from Dan Kennedy, who's dealt with his share of requests for advice over the years ...)
- How to sniff out sneaky freebie seekers and flush out hidden brainpicking requests ...
- Seven scripts you can take and use to deal with brainpicking requests (choose the one that best fits the situation and your personality - copy and paste, hit "send", and you're good to go!)
In addition to this handy survival guide, the May package will include the transcript of an exclusive interview I did with Monika Mileva, where we talked about how to build "social proof" in just 90 days ... even if you're starting from scratch.
I might be biased, but I think May's Secret Coach Club about brainpicking could be the most valuable issue that I've ever released, and I've done over 50 months of these things!
The deadline to get it is this Sunday night at midnight (EST), and you can do so here:

PS: Although this guide will protect *you* from brainpickers, I do allow Secret Coach Club subscribers to pick my brain! It's one of the perks of membership, here's that link again:
