In today's issue:

When I launched my first show online, I wasn’t excited; I was scared.

Everyone kept warning me, 'People will attack you once you put yourself out there.' So I braced myself. I waited for the bad comments, the nasty reviews, all of it.

They never came.

But instead, five-star reviews started popping up. People wrote that the show helped them think differently. Some even said they couldn’t wait for the next episode. I remember staring at the screen, thinking, Are they really talking about me?

Because a few years earlier, nobody would have said that.

For the first three and a half years I was online, I made zero sales. Not one. Not even a pity sale.

I worked every single day. Built pages, sent emails, and read books. Tried everything I could think of. My bank account didn’t care. My dad didn’t care either. He kept reminding me I was wasting my time.

So why didn’t I quit?

Because I hated where I was.

Some people get motivated by dreams, big houses, and nice cars. Those freedom photos on Instagram? That never worked for me. What worked for me was pain. I hated my situation so much that staying where I was felt worse than pushing forward.

The pain of my life was heavier than the work it took to change it.

But there was still a problem.

Every time I tried to sell something, I got the same question: “How much money are you making with this?” And the answer sucked. 

So I stopped pitching, went quiet, and just waited for proof to show up out of nowhere.

That was the mistake.

What changed everything wasn’t lying or faking results. I just stopped trying to prove anything. I started showing up. I interviewed people who knew more than I did. I asked real questions. I let their credibility do the work for me.

Then I did something else most people avoid. I started saying things differently. When everyone zigged, I zagged. Being different gets attention, and attention creates curiosity. Curiosity makes people listen long enough for trust to build.

That’s when things finally started to move.

Here’s the part most people miss: You don’t need proof to start. You just need momentum.

So if you’re stuck right now, ask yourself this: Do you hate staying where you are enough to keep going?

Algorithm changes rolling out every month. AI flooding feeds with content. Ad costs skyrocketing while conversions plummet.

A line is being drawn in the affiliate marketing industry right now.

Within the next 12 months, every affiliate marketer will end up on one side or the other.

On one side, those who lose everything as their income disappears. On the other side, a small group who will grow richer than ever while everyone else struggles.

I went from scrubbing toilets to making over $5,000,000 last year by adapting to this shift early. 

David from Ontario made $100,000 in 90 days. Kevin quit his construction job and bought his family a new home.

I've recorded an urgent video message revealing what separates the winners from the losers, and how to position yourself on the right side of the great affiliate divide before it's too late.

Most people think money is about skill.

Get smarter, learn more, and become “qualified.” Then the money shows up.

That’s not how it works.

I grew up around people who worked hard and still had nothing. Good, honest people who are broke. Money didn’t avoid them because they lacked effort. It avoided them because of how they behaved around it.

Here’s the truth most don’t like hearing: money responds to behavior, not intention.

You can want more money all day long. If you’re scared to ask, scared to be seen, scared to make a move, nothing changes. Fear repels money faster than ignorance ever will.

I’ve seen this play out again and again. People who make excuses stay stuck. Not because they’re dumb. Because excuses feel safe, and safety kills momentum.

Another uncomfortable pattern is that money doesn’t chase the most skilled person. It chases the most visible one. The person who shows up, talks, asks, follows up, gets rejected, and keeps going anyway.

Most sales don’t happen on the first try. Neither do opportunities. Neither does wealth. Everything meaningful requires follow-up and a tolerance for “no.”

So here’s a simple challenge:

Stop asking, “What do I know?” Start asking, “What am I avoiding?” Because once your behavior changes, money usually follows.

I sat down with Ray Higdon, and within minutes, it was obvious why people chase him instead of the other way around.

The guy went from bankruptcy to a multi-million-dollar business in a few years, but what caught my attention wasn’t the money. It was how deliberately he built authority without waiting for credentials, approval, or some imaginary milestone.

Ray broke it down simply: Most people obsess over tools and tactics because that feels productive. What they avoid is deciding who they want to become and then acting like that person before anyone gives them credit for it. That gap is where almost everyone stalls.

He also shared a framework he actually lives by — invest, learn, teach — and why teaching what you’re learning in real time creates leverage most beginners never tap into.

If you’ve ever felt invisible in your market, this conversation will mess with you in a good way.

Listen carefully. There’s a quiet line in here that explains why some people rise fast while others grind forever.

This book doesn’t pretend the world is fair. It shows you how attention really works.

Ryan breaks down how stories are made, why outrage spreads faster than truth, and how people get seen long before they’re credible. Reading it made one thing painfully clear to me: being ignored is usually a bigger risk than being wrong.

If you’ve ever wondered why louder, less-qualified people win while smarter people stay invisible, this book explains it with no sugarcoating. 

It’s uncomfortable, useful, and hard to unsee once you read it.

I arrive once a year,
Create artificial urgency,
And turn “maybe later” into “buy now.”
Miss me, and sales go cold.

What am I?
