A client came to me with $10,000 cash and big plans for her Q4 launch—and I turned her away. 🚀

Six months later, she sent me a message thanking me for saying no. Here's the thing: ads aren't a magic scaling button. They amplify what's already working in your funnel—and expose what isn't, expensively.

After managing close to $7 million in ad spend for course creators, I've learned that the difference between people who scale beautifully with Facebook ads and those who burn through their budget in weeks comes down to just three numbers. Most people have never calculated any of them. In this episode, I'm sharing two very different client stories and giving you the exact framework to know if you're actually ready for paid traffic—or if you're about to make a very expensive mistake.

🔥 In This Episode:

• Why I turned away a client with $10K (and why she thanked me later)

• The critical difference between warm and cold traffic that trips up most course creators

• How to calculate your maximum cost per acquisition

• The three numbers that determine if your funnel can handle ads at scale

• Why you need a 90-day runway before touching paid traffic
