There was just one challenge...
Once students got inside the program, most of them suffered from overwhelm
due to the overload of information available inside the Tribe.

As one of the students inside the Tribe, Luis saw the pattern related to the learning process.
He reached out to John, suggested how to possibly solve the students’ challenge.
Long story short…

All with the help of “The M.A.P. Method”: Model, Analysis, Progression.
The result?
With Luis’ help, in just 1 year, the students’ success rate increased by 175.64%…

Having all the content available made it very easy for students to feel overwhelmed.
Thus, stopping them from taking the necessary actions which would move them forward to achieve their goal…
That is…
To get freelancing projects and earn premium fees from local and international clients.
As such, some students were stuck at watching the lessons.
But without any tangible progress in their careers — for weeks to months.
His initial programs were intensive masterclasses open to people who more or less knew of him already.
In these intensive programs, he would remove students who were not taking action.
John was feeling the pressure of having to think of everything to make this work on a much larger scale than what he had initially been doing.
The varying levels of students make it more challenging to create and deliver content, which will give students optimal results in the shortest time possible.
It was a much bigger responsibility overall…
And the pressure to help them get results was all on John’s shoulders alone.
John’s goal was to change the entire freelancing industry and impact as many lives as he can.
Having said that…
All future plans are geared towards ensuring the students inside the Tribe are learning as efficiently as possible.
And not just learning, but also implementing and getting positive results.
The goal is to deliver results at the early stages of going through the lessons…
As much as possible, way before the student finishes the course completely.

After a month into the program…
The students’ success rate was at 18.10%.
This is a good start considering the average completion rate is around 5-15%.
Though based on these criteria, we cannot compare apples to oranges.
Here’s what I mean…
