The very best coaches, gurus, etc. are never the ones that send you a cold email or DM. In fact, most have a waiting list.

How is this possible?

Because they give ungodly amounts of useful information for free.

Their clients either come to them for implementation or feel they need a more personal approach and advice for their individual circumstances...

Whenever I get a DM or cold email from a coach/guru about their courses or services, they are automatically disqualified and I would never use them or buy their courses or services. Period!

P.S. One of my very first followers here on Medium was such a "writing coach". He commented on one or two of my articles and followed me.

Then one day I get an unsolicited email from him shilling his course... I politely thanked him for reaching out then politely declined.

When I later checked my followers list (double digits at the time), I noticed he was gone....

Talk about inauthentic and insincere engagement...
