And so I tested every component of it to get the thing that people seem to want, which is like, the book is advertising, but ironically, people want leads. So it's kind of like, do I want to have a book on drills or do I want to have a book on holes, right? People want the hole in the wall, not the drill. That's just the vehicle. And so the book is just the vehicle to getting leads.
But as a quick hack for anybody who has a brick and mortar business, this is just a quick hack for anybody. If you're like, what market should I expand into? Here's five markets we're looking at.

So I'll explain what I'm thinking through. So to answer that question, I think it asks, what is required to win? And is a mentor required?
