Hey everybody... I need some help for my sales copy and making sure I address every problem in my webinar.

For my self dev company - I am running a webinar on May 24th that cures procrastination, and helps people discover how to take action on their goals, and continue to be motivated. (applicable to business, fitness, health, relationships, etc.)

I've solved this problem for myself and my mastermind groups. Now I want to help others.

Where I need your help: I'm looking for common complaints to use as part of my sales copy and to add to the content I already have... What key phrases do you keep hearing from people when it comes to NOT taking action, and what reasons do you have to not take action and get motivated.
  1. "I don't know where to start"
  2. "I lose motivation when I don't see results right away"
  3. "I keep trying new things and none of them seem to work"

@MJ DeMarco @Vigilante @AllenCrawley - You've been around here a lot and I feel you can help provide some feedback. In return, I'll be glad to turn this into an INSIDERS call in the future because I know it's a common problem with a lot of the forum members here.

@TheTruth @JasonR -What common phrases (excuses) did we have when it came to the problem in the past?

Thanks for the help!
