2 years ago, I used to make $25 affiliating people's gumroad ebooks
Failed my 1st copywriting agency, switched to lead gen, and made some $
And now, we're on track to hit $80K/mo in 5 weeks with just 4 clients
Here's what I'd tell myself if I was starting today:

Here's what I'd tell myself if I was starting today:
1// On comparison with others:
Comparing yourself isn't bad
Insecurity isn't bad
If you keep comparing yourself and do nothing, that's terrible for your mental health
But if you compare yourself with others and improve daily, it's the best thing ever you can do to yourself

2// How to get better at something
The easiest way to get better at something is to increase your volume, which will over time, improve the process...
And that will inevitably improve your output

Stop using your weaknesses as an excuse for your incompetency
If you're not good at something, do more of it, hire a coach, get a course do everything you can and get better at it
Stop labeling things you don't have experience in as "your weaknesses"

I was and still am not good at operations, so I took the operations role in my agency so that I could get better at it.
I'm hiring, training, and managing sales teams, none of these things I'm good at or I have experience with, but it can all be learned by experience

3// On taking action
You already know what to do, you're just scared & lazy to do it
If you want to get ahead, think about what the smartest person you know will do in your position
You already know the answers
You just have to look hard inside, get out of your head

4// On getting to the top vs staying at the top
I have seen multiple people start after me, and surpass me in terms of numbers but
I'm secure from the fact that it's not about who gets to the top fastest but instead, who stays there the longest

It's about learning the skills & building a repeatable system for success so even if you lose everything tomorrow, you can get to a baseline level in a few weeks
5// On Conviction & Certainty
Your job as a service provider & a salesperson is to induce certainty in your clients
Explain to them why you're doing what you're doing and they will be 100% onboard with the process and trust u more

I onboarded a client a couple of months ago
Went on a tangent and taught him some marketing stuff
10 minutes later:

10 minutes later:
"I've worked with so many agencies; most of them did things that I knew won't work and were stupid.
But the way you explained what you're doing, makes me CERTAIN that we are going to 100% make bank"
We've done $320k+ with them in the last 5 months

To get to $10k/month with an agency business, you can do everything wrong but just the right client acquisition will get you there
To get to $100k/month, you need to do everything right

6// On being an influencer & building your personal brand:
Having a sizable personal brand is one of the most leveraged things you can do
But it's not for everyone
And it's also not MANDATORY to be successful

I have the connections, resources & experience to start making reels & youtube and go hard on Twitter and become a guru
But I don't
Because being an influencer is not my thing
There are more ways to make money than just being an influencer & selling gumroad courses or coaching
But I don't

7// Selling courses & coaching is the easiest model to build a large amount of cash flow
But if you get swayed & stop being in the trenches doing what you're teaching, your information will get outdated
People will see right through it & your brand will start to decline

8// On shiny object syndrome & focus:
Choose a business model that works and an industry that is growing
Then dedicate the next 3-5 years of your life doing that single thing
No other side hustles, no small projects, no one-time consulting shit
Just go all in on 1 thing

9// On Vision & Goals
If you have small goals, you'll get comfortable when you hit them
And you will almost lose your life's purpose
"Okay I hit this milestone, what now?"
You could continuously keep moving to the finish line every few months

And you will almost lose your life's purpose
"Okay I hit this milestone, what now?"
You could continuously keep moving to the finish line every few months
Or you could have a 10-year vision & execute daily towards that 1 larger than life reality
10// Games without rules are boring
If you want to have real fun, set constraints
And try to live your life within constraints
This will make stuff 10x more interesting
Anyone could build a 7 figure business in 40 years
But try doing it in 2 years, work 30 hours per week
