    Beware: The Revenue Razor and Return on Stress...

    GOLD! NEWSLETTER 
    I've worked behind the scenes of many of these types of "gurus" to help them be more ethical in their marketing and make it more synced with the product. Needless to say, I've only worked with 1 where their claims backed up their results. Everyone else has nowhere near the profit they claim...

    Earning $5.5K/mo at 16: I'm doing it.

    MINDSET EXECUTION 
    GHL's way of marketing has no effect on the product. I've never seen any of their marketing. But using Billy Gene and "cult-like" events is just a form of marketing. They learned it from Russell Brunson who executed that incredibly. That has no effect on if the product is good or not. If the...

    Earning $5.5K/mo at 16: I'm doing it.

    MINDSET EXECUTION 
    Yeah honestly that's all you need. No reason to overcomplicate it for clients. GHL has some other stuff we do to integrate with social media, email and lead gen and plugging that into their overall sales pipeline if they just want an main suite. But for the most part, I don't recommend it to...

    Earning $5.5K/mo at 16: I'm doing it.

    MINDSET EXECUTION 
    I use GHL for clients. It's great. They all love it. It's just a combo of clickfunnels, activecampaign, messaging for social platforms, content scheduling, survey, calendar, and other software. It's nothing new. Just saves a bunch of subscriptions and allows you to combine them altogether and...

    How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model

    GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHING 
    Yeah you definitely can. It really comes down to what you want to build and for what type of audience. If you want to do ghostwriting, then yes, definitely do twitter. If you want to build a solo-run online business, you can do it. Just know that it takes time. Give yourself 6 months. 1 year...

    How to Build and Grow a Newsletter as a Business Model

    GOLD! HOT! PUBLISHING 
    Twitter is fantastic for growing newsletters (depending on the niche). Sorry I haven't seen the rest of your posts to know your niche so forgive me. From 2020-early 2022 you could grow a massive Twitter brand very quickly. The algorithms really favored it in terms of tweet threads and the...

    Relatively Profitable Business You Can Start This Week

    EXECUTION 
    I worked in the same day delivery industry for a few years on the logistics side. There are plenty of companies in any metro looking for contractors to give work to because they have a ton of contracts with companies where they need items delivered (everything is B2B). We had self-employed...

    From podcasting to newsletters... the new HOT thing?

    I actually know of a guy that has a really small podcast and a very tiny audience at the time of interviewing GaryVee. He went through the process of ordering books (or his wine... can't remember) in hopes for an interview. He knew Gary was going to be in his town for an event. Something about...

    Has anyone studied high performing entrepreneurs like they study high performing athletes?

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    There is a lot of leverage in the business model they had (ecom). Your business is service-based which means you might require more contractors/staff at scale, or more of your time. Also, don't forget that half the equation for the Hormozis is Leila. She is an EXCELLENT operator, manager, COO...

    Opportunities in Pickleball?

    IDEA 
    Definitely a pickleball local league. Rent out a large warehouse, convert to pickleball courts. And host local leagues there. Give opportunities for local businesses to advertise. Have local vendors supply food/drinks. Value add with a vending machine business. Get pickleball aficionados to...

    Chat Discussion - RUMBLE (The Next Big Thing?)

    MARKETING CHAT 
    Rumble is great for distribution. If people can put their personal politics aside, they'll find it's a good platform. The key to success for a platform is getting "influencers" on there. Or rather, people with some sort of audience/reach who can get their audiences on there. Truthsocial failed...

    Using Short Videos to Grow Your Business

    HOT! CHAT 
    Yeah this is a huge update that will get YT competing heavily against TikTok now. It works best for them to encourage people to get views because the watchtime is so short and variable with Shorts. Also, it has more to do with how they plug in advertisers. Unlike with long-form, they won't plug...

    NOTABLE! HOT! IDEA 
    And to add to that, only parts of the east coast have good places. The southeast is littered with overrated spots. I agree with the idea of quality pizza. I have a property in rural Tennessee where good pizza is tough to come by. The 3 chains are there as well as a smaller local chain. None of...

    Want ideas? Stop being boring!

    IDEA MINDSET 
    I definitely have far too many ideas. Constantly having to say "no". Then, opportunities come up in my network to pursue. Still have to force myself to say no. My biggest thing when I have something or a few ideas to pursue is to ask myself "am I willing to do this for the next 3-5 years? What...

    Andrew Tate Banned? A prime example of the Commandment of Control

    HOT! IDEA 
    I don't really care for the guy. There are a lot of things he says I don't agree with. But I give him credit for leveraging polarity to create a mass market effect from a business perspective. I knew about the guy for years but his hockey stick growth really took off this year. He was saying...

    If someone offered you a CEO job for millions, would you take it?

    HOT! CHAT 
    I think it's too easy to overthink the question. First it's "how much money will I make?" Then it's "how many hours will I work?" And then it's "what about the lifestyle" And "what about experience" People should forget about the specifics. This is strictly hypothetical to group the CEO salary...

    Earning a Potential $50K/mo - but big CONTROL issues!

    EXECUTION 
    You have a similar situation to one of my clients. I'll give you a breakdown that you can run with. 1. Optimize for assets - the YT channel is a marketing channel but also acts as an asset, as are all platforms. Yes, they can be shut down. So optimize for as many assets as possible. First one...

    What Would Your Passion Business Be?

    HOT! QUESTION 
    Film & movies is the thing I'm most passionate about. I'm talking about the actual creation of it (directing, writing, producing)... essentially what it takes to go from idea to the screen. I studied it for a long time, years ago when I was in college. Took acting classes. Acted and directed...

    My neighbor recently ordered one of these services for a party. Trailer with axe throwing got dropped off in the driveway. Digital screens inside. Lighting. Basically a party on wheels. Really cool set up. Powered by an F150 powerboost. $$$
