dudes you think are dorks today could pass you in 6 months dudes you think are untouchable today could be starting over in 6 months you have no idea what someone's cooking or fumbling behind the scenes keep your head down your only competition is you

i've met dudes that got famous, and are now trying to get rich and then dudes that got rich, and are now trying to get famous from what i've put together pretty much all these dudes unilaterally agree that the latter is the better order

"how can i do successful cold outbound" you don't. you swallow your pride you build a successful business off free or cheap labor you stack testimonials and then good leads come to you takes about 6-12 months results may vary based on how much dawg you have in you

i talk to my ecom friends and realize i'm miles behind i talk to my normie friends and realize im light years ahead i talk to myself and realize... its just me vs me

hard work that goes to waste is probably the worst thing imaginable to me but i've come to find out that inefficiency is the price of scaling i'm making my peace w it

bro we had it so good in 2024 man 😭 just had to make sure i posted silly little TikToks a couple times a week to make 6 figs a month now you gotta build out an empire with employees, overhead, systems - all just to feel something

pay your employees what they are worth bc not only do they deserve it they will become weapons for you if they feel truly valued when i started doing this, it BUTCHERED my margins but now long term, i couldn't be happier i made this decision

i am about to have my highest profit month since December 2024 what changed? well... it wasn't my work ethic the past 22 months have been full of hard work it was that i finally allowed myself to take big bets on myself again it's so easy to get stuck below $100k/mo forever because you don't have to risk much to stay there but with each new leap, you assume disproportionate risk each time get your reps in, and then bet on yourself.

i have been so busy copying what works, i forgot my greatest skill was being a pioneer in copywriting once you have built massive systems with AI it's very tempting to let it run creative strategy too do NOT let it even if it's doing well, you're letting that skill deteriorate in yourself recently started getting more involved into copywriting again, and am already seeing 10x the results on my performance per deliverable i really thought i had found more efficient and higher leverage ways to spend my time, but i was wrong don't let AI make you forget how you got to where you are now - through your own talent and skill

everyone talks about T breaks no one talks about C breaks y'all ever avoided caffeine for like 10 days and then wake up and decide to have an espresso i'm fucking floating rn

if i had put the same amount of work into ecom that i was instead putting into a 3.8 gpa and 30 ACT score i'd probably had left high school with enough bread to buy my first house it's why i'll never shit on the info space, even a shitty course can show dudes other ways to win
