And if you're listening, you might be thinking, "Well, wait a second, The Accelerator's not even open, why are you even talking about this?"

So, you make sure that you get notified when it opens up for new members early next year. And when it comes to those changes, a couple of things that we're doing is going through all of the content.

We're adding in better frameworks to make it more understandable and improving the blueprints that help you put all of the advice and ideas and strategies into action so that you come out of the other end of The Accelerator with a business that is just ready for rocket ship growth or whatever it is that your goal is for your copywriting business.
