My Shoot Plan

Follow it top to bottom. Don't think — just film. Tap any line to blow it up full-screen while you record.
📱 Phone only ⏱ ~20 minutes 🚫 No script to memorize
!

Read this before you record

Never say these on camera — any one of them means the clip gets thrown out:
🚫 No client names — not even first names.
🚫 No dollar amounts — no loan sizes, no income, no savings figures.
🚫 No company name. Don't say who you work for. Say "my company," "the business," "my team."
🚫 Never say you attended the event. You haven't. "Grant and Bill trained me on this system" is true — "I went to Commander" is not.
🚫 No locations — no city, no office, no neighborhood.
💡 If you slip mid-sentence — just stop, pause, and start that clip over. Don't try to talk your way out of it. Re-takes are free.

Filming this by yourself

You can't film with your phone and read off the same screen. Pick whichever fits the moment:
⭐ Easiest — hand the phone to a person
Phil or one of the kids holds it. You hold nothing. They can even read you each line out loud right before you say it. Best eye contact of any option, because you're looking at a human.
A second screen
Any iPad, second phone, or laptop. Open this page on it → 📺 Prompter → prop it right under your phone's lens.
One phone, solo — the swipe rhythm
Prompter → read the line twice (it's 5–8 words, it sticks) → swipe to Camera → record → swipe back → next. About 8 minutes for all 16. Works fine.
🎥 Use the plain Camera app. Don't film in Instagram, TikTok, or Snapchat — they compress the video and strip the quality they asked for.
📱 Selfie camera is fine. Don't overthink the gear. Good light on your face beats every other setting.

Setup

No stand? Lean the phone against a stack of books, a lamp base, or a cereal box. It just has to not move.

Rapid-Fire Clips

🔒 Exact words
⚠️ Skip any line that isn't true for you. Don't say something you don't mean — it shows on camera.
Every clip, same rhythm: Record → look at the lens → say it → pause → say it again → stop.
🤍 Willis's read on these, knowing your voice:
#5, #9, #11 are the most you — "I'm not technical, that's the point" · "You're not behind, nobody's shown you yet" · "If I can do it, you can do it." Slow down and mean these. #9 especially — that's your whole way with people.

#12 "Don't get left behind" — consider skipping. It's fear-based, and you don't sell with pressure. It's the one line here that isn't you.

#4 "I don't code. I command." — punchy ad copy, not your rhythm. Fine to say, fine to skip. Your call.
🔁 After the full set, do it twice more:
1. All 16 again vertical (phone upright — for phone-format ads).
2. All 16 again in a second setting — walking selfie, or phone mounted in the car. Eyes on the road.
