10k in 60 Days — The Last Attempt
I had a battle plan. That's what the document was actually called.
The Battle Plan
"Battle Plan: 10k in 60 Days." Cold call scripts. Cold email templates. Loom video scripts. Everything designed to call coaches and tell them: I'll get you to 10k/month in 60 days.
The guarantee? Money back. Plus €1,000 extra for your time.
Sounds aggressive. It was.
The Scripts
"Hey [Name], you're a coach — working 1:1, doing everything yourself, making 3-8k… but staying below your potential. Why? Because your business doesn't have a system — it has patchwork."
I had Loom video templates: 45 seconds, personalized, straight to the point. "I looked at your website and I'll show you in 45 seconds what jumped out at me immediately."
The irony? The script was good. The 45-second diagnosis — that's EXACTLY what the Booster chatbot does today. Except back then I would have done it manually. For every single client. Via Loom video.
Why It Never Went Live
I wrote the scripts. Prepared the templates. Formulated the guarantee. Everything was ready.
And then I didn't do it.
Not because I was afraid. Because I realized: I was empty. Five days on Workbook v1. Then v2. Then v3. Workshops. Emails. Custom GPT. And now cold calls on top of that?
My body said: Stop. And this time I listened.
On April 14, 2025, I wrote the last email. Ran the last workshop. Published the last post.
And then: silence.
The Numbers Up to This Point
- 3 versions of the workbook (v1, v2, v3)
- 11 emails to the list
- 6 community posts
- 2 live workshops (with Henning)
- 1 Custom GPT ("Your Reflection")
- ~200 hours of work in 2 months
- €0 revenue from the Booster itself
- Result: A product that works — but in a format nobody finishes
What I Learned
Hustle is no substitute for clarity. I had invested 200 hours, built 3 versions, written 11 emails, run 2 workshops — and earned not a single cent. Not because the product was bad. Because I was so busy building that I never stopped to ask: Is this the right path?
Sometimes stopping is the most productive thing you can do.
💡 What this means for you:
Are you confusing being busy with making progress? 200 hours of work feels productive. But if after 200 hours you don't have a single paying customer, you haven't been working — you've been keeping yourself busy. The difference: work produces results. Busyness produces the feeling of results.
