Confession:

For the past couple of years, I've been dealing with some frustrating gut issues.

Gas, bloating, the works.

(Pardon the TMI lol)

But I couldn't figure out what was causing it.

So with the help of my trusty medical advisor Dr. GPT...

I went down basically every rabbit hole I could find:

- Histamine intolerance
- Impaired methylation
- Gluten sensitivity
- Electrolyte imbalance

Plus a few others I'm probably forgetting.

Yet none of these avenues of investigation yielded a solution to my problems.

So finally, I did what I should've done from the beginning...

I got an actual microbiome test.

And wouldn't you know it:

I have an overgrowth of several strains that map pretty much exactly to the issues I've been dealing with.

In other words:

I finally found the smoking gun.

All it took was taking the right test.

Getting the right diagnosis.

And once I did, I was able to develop an action plan that's finally yielded results.

Point is:

You can't fix what you haven't diagnosed.

And the same principle applies to your email list.

Most coaches, consultants and course creators are treating symptoms instead of identifying the root cause.

Like tweaking subject lines when the real problem is list quality…

Obsessing over email copy when what they actually need is a better offer positioning strategy…

Or hammering their list with daily sends when the bottleneck is their lead generation funnel.

Same symptom...

(flat or inconsistent email revenue)

… but completely different diagnosis.

And completely different fix.

That's why I built the Email Storyselling Install Map GPT™.

It's a $5 diagnostic tool that analyzes your entire email revenue system...

List quality, lead gen, offer positioning, cadence, automations, and more...

And outputs a custom "Install Map" so you know exactly what's broken and what to fix first.

Takes less than 10 minutes.

And only costs $5.

So if you're tired of guessing which lever to pull next...

And you're ready to get clarity on what's actually holding your list back...

Then I suggest you grab it:
