FROM MY WORLD

I Played It Safe. Now What?

Someone sent me an email where they proudly announced they “only mail once a week to avoid annoying people.” I laughed so hard I almost spilled my coffee.

You’re worried about annoying them? They don’t even remember you exist. That’s the part nobody wants to admit.

Here’s the truth: buyers cling to any excuse not to buy — time, money, confidence, their dog’s birthday. Which means if you email once a week, you’re not being polite. You’re being forgotten. And while you tiptoe, someone else emails them twice a day and steals their attention like it’s nothing.

Most “experts” tell you to give value, value, and more value. That’s how you turn yourself into a free teacher people don’t respect. You think you’re building goodwill; you’re building distance. I’ve watched it for years. The softer you play it, the faster your list drifts.

When I tested daily emails for one of my offers, I saw it immediately. The moment I talked about the real stuff — their problems, their desires, the obstacle glued to their brain — replies shot up

One guy wrote, “Igor, what’s the first thing I need to do to get started?” That line alone proved the point: people don’t need more love. They need direction.

And because we’re being honest, about 8 out of 10 people want money for the same reason — to help someone they care about. Most chase that $10k a month target because it finally gives them a spine in their own life. Talk about that, and they listen.

Emailing rarely burns your list. Hiding from them does.

MINDSET MAKEOVER

Self-Sabotage In a Costume

Most people think fear is a warning label. I used to treat it like gospel. One hit to my ego and I’d vanish. Three days of video games, or an ugly hour of crying like someone unplugged my life.

But here’s the part that stings: once you finally let the fear punch you in the face, it stops controlling you. Because after the panic burns off, your brain clicks back and you realize the nightmare happened… and nothing actually ended. You just got the clarity you were too scared to see.

Every major jump in my business came right after one of those hits — autoresponder gone, merchant account frozen, ad account deleted. 

The disaster wasn’t the problem. My attachment to the story was. The moment I dropped the drama, the path forward was obvious.

And this is where most people get stuck. They don’t fear the event; they fear letting go. They drag a 20-year-old excuse like it’s emotional security. That’s not healing. That’s self-sabotage in a costume.

So here’s your move today: pick the one fear you keep protecting… and take a step right at it.

Breakthroughs don’t hide behind comfort. They hide behind the thing you’re still babying.

FOR YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE

The Question Rich Schefren Made Me Rethink

Rich Schefren, the author of Internet Business Manifesto, said something in our conversation that punched straight through the noise: most entrepreneurs don’t think, they drift

We dug into why asking a better question often delivers the answer before you finish saying it. Rich tracks this in his journal every day so he doesn’t slip into autopilot like the rest of the market.

What hit me hardest was his “twelve favorite problems” trick he stole from Tiago Forte and Richard Feynman. Keep your biggest problems in your head, and every new idea becomes a potential solution instead of more clutter. This is the opposite of drifting — it’s directed thinking.

If you’ve been feeling mentally scattered or stuck on the same goals for months, this episode will shake something loose.

Listen in. Let Rich sharpen how you think before you make your next move.

CURATED READS

Winning Through Intimidation by Robert Ringer

If you’ve ever wondered why the “nice guys” in business always seem to end up holding the bill… while the bold, unapologetic players walk away with the deal, the commission, and the respect — this book will slap you awake.

Winning Through Intimidation isn’t about being a bully. It’s about understanding how the world really works — especially when money’s on the table.

Robert Ringer breaks down the unspoken rules of business negotiation with the kind of brutal honesty.

Inside, you’ll learn:

  • Why being polite gets you ignored, overlooked, and underpaid

  • How the business world operates on positioning — not fairness

  • Why logic never wins but confidence does

  • How to walk into any deal knowing exactly who’s trying to screw you

  • And the mindset shift that turns you from the hunted into the hunter

This book changed the way I think about influence, negotiation, and power dynamics inside business. It’s one of the few books that doesn’t sugarcoat human behavior — it exposes it.

RIDDLE ME THIS

Can You Crack The Code?

I’m invisible but contagious. I starts small with consistent action, explodes with one right move, and dies if you wait too long.

What am I?

Think you've cracked the code? Reply to this email with your guess, and see if you're right!

I grow when shared and shrink when hoarded.
I can’t be spent, only earned
And without me, nothing sells.

The answer is: Trust.
