In this episode, Nelson breaks down 8 hard‑hitting reasons why chasing high‑ticket sponsors is a mistake,  from losing control of your message, slowing down production, and confusing your audience, to the reality that sponsors will never pay you as much as your own business can.

You’ll hear why your best sponsor is your own high‑ticket offer, how to turn cold traffic into warm leads with a content system, and why selling directly to your dream customers will always outperform any sponsorship deal.
