In today's issue:

Here’s the thing about online marketing nobody likes to admit… one income stream can disappear just like that.

I’ve seen it happen too many times. Affiliates get kicked out of programs. Ad accounts get shut down. Owners wake up one morning, change the rules, and suddenly your “business” is gone.

My student David went through it. He was making great money with a hosting company—pulled in $12K in his first month. He was pumped. Then out of nowhere, they cut him off. No warning. No payout. Just “we don’t like how you promote.”

I’ve been burned too. I once had a program paying me over $200K in commissions. It was built into my whole system. Then the owner decided he was done and shut it all down. Overnight, that income stream vanished.

So here’s what I’ve learned: depending on just one thing is dangerous.

I don’t look at my income as one big pipe. I look at it like a table with hundreds of little legs. $100 a month here. $700 there. $5K from one stream, $10K from another.

When one leg breaks? No big deal. The table still stands.

That’s how you build stability in this business—not by chasing the next “big thing,” but by stacking streams that add up and keep you safe when one falls apart.

Because let’s be real—stuff will happen. And if you’ve got a strong table, you’ll keep standing.

Overwhelmed by A.I.? We narrowed thousands of apps down to the 250 that actually move revenue. Pair that with the Ultimate A.I. Checklist and a practical training, and you’ll install the money version of A.I. without guesswork. Capture more leads, convert more buyers, and reduce support friction—the same ecosystem that’s produced millions of leads is now yours to copy, free for a limited time.

Most people think decisions are made with logic.

Wrong.

Decisions are made with feelings first, and logic comes after to justify them.

That’s why you can show someone all the stats, features, and charts in the world… and they’ll still choose the option that feels right. It’s not their “thinking brain” calling the shots—it’s their emotional brain.

Here’s what that means for success: stop trying to bulldoze your way forward with pure logic. Logic says, “Don’t risk it, play it safe, wait until everything’s perfect.” Emotion says, “I believe in this. Let’s go.”

The same thing happens with confidence. You’ll never logically convince yourself you’re “ready” to launch that product, raise your prices, or pitch that client. Your logical brain will always find 1,000 reasons why it’s risky.

But when you shift into the emotional brain—when you feel the urgency, the excitement, the possibility—that’s when you act.

And that’s the trick: if you want bigger results, don’t just feed your head more information. Feed your heart the right signals.

Surround yourself with beliefs, messages, and reminders that make you feel aligned, capable, and driven.

Because your feelings are the driver. Your logic? It’s just along for the ride, making excuses after the fact.

What do Microsoft, birthday party magic tricks, and Trump-style marketing have in common? Jack Turk. 

In this episode, we unpack his wild journey from writing tech manuals for Age of Empires to becoming a magician and then head copywriter at GKIC. We dive into why Trump’s media playbook works, what most marketers get wrong about messaging, and why speed still beats perfection. 

Whether you love or hate the guy, there’s a lot to learn, and Jack breaks it down with sharp insight and zero fluff.

If you haven’t read The Almanack of Naval Ravikant yet, you’re leaving money, peace, and possibly abs on the table.

This isn’t your typical “rah-rah hustle” book. It’s a collection of Naval’s best ideas—pulled together by Eric Jorgenson—about wealth, happiness, leverage, decision-making, and playing the long game.

Here’s why I love it: Naval doesn’t hand you a “10-step blueprint to riches.” Instead, he teaches you how to think so you can create your own blueprint.

One of my favorite takeaways? Play long-term games with long-term people. Most folks chase quick wins and jump from shiny object to shiny object. But the real wealth (and freedom) comes from compounding—whether that’s compounding relationships, compounding skills, or compounding capital.

And unlike most business books, this one isn’t bloated. You can flip it open to any page and instantly get a nugget worth underlining. It’s the kind of book you keep on your desk, not your shelf.

So, if you want a mix of philosophy, practical wisdom, and kick-in-the-teeth clarity… grab this book. Read it once. Then keep reading it forever.

I’m a signal, not the goal, though many get confused.

When I rise or fall, strategies are reviewed.

Leads, clicks, and sales all fall under my crew.

What am I?
