Jeff Walker
The TikTok Ban: Strategies to Thrive in Uncertain Times
updated
- - -
The most successful entrepreneurs have learned a magic trick…
They’ve figured out how to create offers and campaigns so irresistible that their clients practically crawl through broken glass (well, almost!) to work with them.
And the results are incredible. I should know – the “1996 Jeff” wouldn’t even recognize what I’m doing now.
Here’s the “trick” – you don’t need to master a bunch of new ideas…
It starts with a simple shift I learned over the years.
If I could go back in time, here’s what I would tell the younger me who was just starting out in business.

For more on how creators can build up their businesses without depending entirely on social media, check out the full episode here: youtu.be/vTd6g6PsR7Y?si=9mXmanHUvVxU2iQH
That’s because most clients don’t care about the number of certificates you have hanging on your wall – they care about the results you deliver. Which is good news…
It means you don’t have to wait. You can start serving your audience and making an impact right now…
Here’s why results – not credentials – are the real key to coaching success.

Even better, it’s surprisingly simple to set up and you don’t need a fully laid-out plan to get started.
The last time I created this type of offer, I casually mentioned it in a video and quickly received my first “I’m in!”. I didn’t even have a sales page or a link to send them to.
Here’s what this offer is… and why now is the perfect time to make it to your audience.

In this clip, Mike explains how his employees don’t typically go quiet when he enters the room, and how he sees that as a key indicator of a healthy manager-employee dynamic.
In this clip, Annie offers up a primer on the two basic thinking systems in human nature. Our primal instincts, which rely mostly on emotional response, and our creativity and critical thinking, which emerge in a calm, comfortable state.

Key topics discussed:
Self-Protection: Annie explains why employees sometimes act from a place of self-protection, which negates much of their critical thinking capacity.
Building a Leadership Team: To ever have a chance of removing yourself from the day-to-day, you need to assemble a strong core of leaders across all departments..
Organizational Simplicity: As Annie sees it, many companies try to do too much too soon, which sabotages their profits.
Key takeaways:
Leadership starts at the top. As the founder of the company, you can’t operate from a place of emotional reactivity.
You can’t do everything yourself forever. You need to build up a team that can actually do everything themselves, without any micro-managing or hand-holding.
Give your employees an opportunity to impress you. If you’re micromanaging them, they’ll never be able to come into their own.

In this clip, Olivier gets candid about the many failures and missteps that are inevitable stops along the entrepreneurial journey. One of his biggest tips is about knowing when you need to ask for help, and then doing so shamelessly.
Olivier Roland’s book: “The Way of the Intelligent Rebel” HERE: the-way-of-the-intelligent-rebel.com
and his blog "Disruptive Horizons" HERE: disruptive-horizons.com
Chris and I in welcoming Olivier Roland to the show this week. A blogger, author, and longtime member of our Platinum Plus Mastermind, Olivier is something of an entrepreneur’s entrepreneur. After becoming obsessed with business books in his early years, he started a blog devoted to sharing all of the knowledge he was taking in. And later, he started a coaching business specifically for entrepreneurs, helping them optimize workflows and effectively delegate tasks. One of his greatest accomplishments in all of this work, however, has been the creation of a business that serves him – not the other way around. In this illuminating chat, Olivier recounts his journey from a high school dropout to a globetrotting business owner. He focuses on the tactics that have helped him the most, like creating a network of mentors and collaborators, testing small before going big, and following personal passion. Olivier is an encyclopedia of entrepreneurship, and we were thrilled to mine as many gems out of him as we could!
Key Topics:
Asking for Help: Olivier explains how swallowing his pride and asking for help has always been the best course of action in difficult times.
Self-Education: Devouring entrepreneurship books didn’t just help educate and motivate Olivier… his fascination with them inspired his most successful venture yet.
Delegating Tasks: Olivier offers up some tips and tricks to help busy entrepreneurs manage their time and effectively offload responsibility to their staff.
Key Takeaways:
Testing your idea on a small scale can be a smart way to ensure you have a viable product and a legitimate market niche to serve.
No matter what you’re looking to learn, there’s almost guaranteed to be a book or a course out there to help you learn it.
Your goal as an entrepreneur should be to delegate and manage your time so effectively that you’re able to work on your business instead of for it.

A big pile of bear poop.
It made me think… running a business is a lot like running in the wilderness. The terrain changes quickly, and if you’re not paying attention, you could end up in a tough spot (like between a mama bear and her cubs).
But here’s the good news: when you keep your head on a swivel and listen to your market, you can thrive – no matter how wild things get.

In this clip, Jeff describes the mix of emotions he felt when he first heard the news
In this clip, Jeff talks about how this traumatic experience changed the trajectory of his life forever.
As some folks may know, I used to publish a premium newsletter for stock market investors in the late ’90s and early 2000s. I gradually built up a loyal following of over 800 people, pulling in hundreds of thousands in annual subscriptions. But the business relationship I had with my partner at the time just wasn’t a great fit, and poor communication slowly eroded our dynamic. One Monday, I got a phone call that shook me to my core: My partner was starting his own business and taking our subscribers with him. Just like that, everything I’d been building for 8 years evaporated.
This time period was one of the most difficult in my life. Yet now I look back on it with a smile. At that moment, I already had an inkling of what I might do next. But I had no idea just how much success – and mind-blowing impact – I would get the great privilege of experiencing in the years to come.
Key topics discussed:
My First Business: How I started my first business from scratch, and the nature of the dynamic between my partner and me at that time.
The Big Moment: One phone call was all it took to dissolve an 8-year working relationship and erase my entire working income. I unpack what that felt like.
The Next Chapter: The seeds of what was to come were wrapped up in that fateful moment, and I share how I strategically pivoted to the next stage of my career.
Key takeaways:
Business challenges big and small can be seen as opportunities to grow and adapt – if we approach them with a resilient, positive spirit.
My network of fellow entrepreneurs was my life raft, and there’s no way I’d have been able to push through without them.
Overcoming challenges is like lifting weights. The more reps we get in, the stronger those muscles get. And tackling small challenges prepares us for the big ones.

Elliot knew he had to take his mission online. So he began building an email list and offering courses. Within three years, he had 26,000 people on his list. It all came together when the 2020 lockdowns led to a string of speaking cancellations. So he went all in with launching… and generated more than $50K!
Nobody tells the story better than Elliott, so I’ll leave it here and let you watch the rest.
