It's time for Phase 4 – MARKETING!

Let's recap the first 3 phases first, because these must be done before you get to Phase 4…

Phase 1: Problem-Pain-Person, Initial Analysis (The ‘P’ from the Pastor Framework)

  • What problem are you solving?
  • What is the pain the person is experiencing?
  • Who is the person feeling this pain?

Phase 2: Product

  • How are you solving this problem?
  • This is the stuff.
  • Course? Coaching? Physical Product?
  • When will it be ready?

Armand Morin

Phase 3: Copy

  • Go through Copy Academy (the entire thing… not just the quick start module), and write the first draft of your sales letter.

Fear keeps us from becoming all God intends for you.

It can ruin your life. Anxiety makes us sick.

Sometimes the solution for that is medical.

But often we are trying to use a medical solution to a spiritual problem.

There are 365 “fear not” commands in the Bible. That’s one for every day of the year.

Angels, and the post-resurrection Christ, always said, “Fear not!”

The cure for fear? The opposite of fear is not courage. It’s love.

The Bible says, “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear …” (1 John 4:18 NIV).

God is love, and the more you fill your life with God, the less fear you are going to have.
