One of the hardest things in the world to do is convince someone they’re wrong. That their opinions are wrong, the way they’ve been doing something is wrong, etc.

In many cases, that’s what we’re doing: telling people they’re wrong and we can “fix” them.

Change is hard. So why, when your business/profitability are on the line, are you asking people change?
Perhaps you should start “preaching to the converted” instead.
A good writer is more likely to buy writing resources than a bad one, even though he needs it much less.
A dedicated marathone is much more likely to invest in fitness stuff than a couch potato dedicated to Game of Thrones and his Playstation.

Ideal clients are not necessarily the people who need what you offer the most. They’re the ones who KNOW they need it and/or want it badly and are willing and able to pay for it.
Share your message with those people. Become a visible expert where they congregate. And continue growing your own audience (mailing list) of people who don’t need convincing.
It’ll save you a lot of energy and headache — and probably make you a lot more money.
