About This Lesson

In this video, Zach shares a bit more context on the decision to change the learning format.

$200KF is constantly evolving, so if you have thoughts, preferences, or opinions about the format as you go through the course and experience the two different formats, please share your preferences with me!

(The “old format” happens for all of Phase 1, and then the “new format” kicks in in Phase 2)

Notes & Details

Zach & live students discuss changes to the $200KF Beta class structure moving forward.

  • Based on this feedback:
    • Person 1 notes:
      • Do it right the first time; don’t take a shortcut for quicker results at the cost of quality or deep understanding
      • Don’t have the time taken by the ramifications of the “shitty approach” eat into time that could be spent on the “good approach”
      • Focus on one thing at a time — have a good list from the get-go so that one focus is only on setting meetings, vs. split on meetings AND also thinking about more lead gen stuff.
    • Person 2 notes:
      • Too complex
      • Too much to read
      • Wants 3 bullet points
      • gets overwhelmed and zones out
    • Person 3 notes:
      • Live implementation is stressful bc he goes slower
      • Practice exercises to DIY async and then compare
      • quizzes, scorecards, etc.
  • New structure: Homework will need to be done and submitted within the course site BEFORE you show up for class
  • More of the content happening async to support different learning speeds
    • Practice exercises & training
    • Follow-along tutorial steps
    • Action steps & self-evaluations prior to submitting homework
    • Optional bonus deep-dives for people who want more info than what’s strictly necessary in order to implement
  • New process is essentially a reverse-engineered SOP
  • “Watch Me’s” / Learning exercises vs. practice exercises
    • “Watch Me” / Learning exercise = watch Zach do a thing while following along and then maybe do it yourself after and compare
    • Practice exercise = you do a thing yourself without watching Zach first, and then once you’ve done it, you can see how he did it and compare + often submit yours to get his take
  • Live calls will basically be used for…
    • Reviewing homework and progress
    • Asking questions
    • Learning the super-basics of a strategy
    • Watching Zach do sample exercises (and following along with a scorecard or something similar)
  • Manual review from Zach (live or async) will happen for…
    • Practice exercises
    • Strategic action steps prior to execution (e.g. list-building strategy before getting it built)
    • Execution action steps prior to pulling the trigger (e.g. list that got built before running a campaign)
  • What do you guys think?
    • Main thing is it was so cool that Tha posted that thing for Marcus in the community the other day, and I still want people to get the accountability vibes and feel like they’re “part of something” vs all just learning solo async
    • But based on all the feedback I got, there’s not a way to create an ideal learning situation with solely live teaching. We need a hybrid model, IMO
