In today's issue:

Let me ask you something… Why do so many email marketers—heck, so many people—feel like eggplants?

You know what I mean.

They’re walking around with zero independent thought, parroting the same nonsense they’ve been spoon-fed by self-proclaimed gurus who’ve probably never sold anything but the “dream.”

Here’s the problem: Most marketers are programmed to stay broke.

They’ve been hypnotized into believing that emailing daily is offensive. That selling in every email is sleazy. That giving endless free value will magically lead to sales.

Bull. Crap.

You know what’s really offensive?

Paying for subscribers, building a list, and then being too scared to email them because some “expert” said they might unsubscribe.

Newsflash—unsubscribe rates don’t kill your business. Boring emails do.

And you know what else? Your subscribers aren’t sitting around thinking, “I hope Bob emails me today just to give me more free stuff.”

They’re thinking, “Who can help me solve my problems—right now?”

So, if you’re not showing up in their inbox daily with solutions—and yes, with offers—you’re robbing them of the chance to fix their lives.

I don’t know about you, but I’d rather be the marketer who sells too much than the marketer who starves because they sell too little.

And let’s be real… Freebie seekers don’t suddenly turn into buyers just because you send them more free stuff. They’ll drain you dry—and then hate you when you finally pitch them something.

So let me make this clear:

If you don’t learn how to sell, how to write emails, and how to use paid traffic, guess what? You’ll keep clicking “buy now” on courses instead of cashing real checks.

It’s not Putin. It’s not your parents. And it’s definitely not the algorithm. It’s YOU.

So stop blaming, start emailing, and—most importantly—start selling. Your subscribers are waiting.

Have you ever smelled desperation through a screen?

I have.

It’s like a bad cologne that follows someone into every interaction—pungent, overwhelming, and impossible to ignore.

I had this VIP client hit me up recently. He dumped his whole life story on me.

Bad investment here.
Failed business there.
Moved back in with his parents.

I could practically feel the sweat dripping off his keyboard as he typed out his SOS message.

Now, don’t get me wrong—I’ve been there. Broke. Hopeless. Asking why me?

But here’s the kicker… Neediness kills success.

Whether it’s business, relationships, or trying to land your dream client—people can smell it, and it turns them off faster than a spam email.

See, the problem with neediness is it screams: “I’m not in control.” It begs someone else to step in and save the day.

But here’s the truth: No one’s coming. You have to create your own certainty. Not by faking it. Not by hoping for a lucky break. But by acting in a certain way.

Ever read The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles?

He talks about doing things in a “certain way,” but here’s the twist: “Certain” means without doubt. It means moving forward like you already know you’ll succeed.

Not hoping. Not wishing. Not crossing your fingers. Just knowing.

When you act with certainty, people feel it. It’s magnetic.

It’s the same vibe you pick up from successful people—the lion-like confidence that makes you want to follow them.

So how do you get that kind of certainty?

1. Action Beats Anxiety.

Stop overthinking and start moving. The more you do, the less time your brain has to doubt you.

2. Prepare Like a Pro.

Confidence doesn’t come from thin air. It comes from knowing your stuff and showing up ready to dominate.

3. Face Your Fears.

I was terrified of flying—until I flew a plane. True story. After that, turbulence felt like a joke.

Certainty isn’t something you’re born with. It’s something you build—one uncomfortable step at a time.

So if you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or—let’s be honest—needy… Stop waiting. Start moving.

Because confidence isn’t found in your comfort zone. It’s built outside of it.

Do you consider $10,000 per month a good goal to strive for? Most people do.

But Tellman Knudson, master hypnotist and the “Stan Lee” of email marketing, wants to strangle those people.

Why? Because they put a “governor” on their earnings. Tellman is a firm believer in “shoot for the stars” when it comes to goal setting.

So in today’s podcast, you’ll hear him rap about how to destroy your mental barriers, make bushels of money and the one team of people you should stay close to if you want to be successful (hint: it’s not your coworkers, your friends or even your family)

Let’s start.

Think laundromats and car washes are boring?

Think again—because they’re making people rich.

In "Main Street Millionaire", Codie Sanchez reveals how everyday businesses can become cash-printing machines for anyone willing to think differently.

No hype. No get-rich-quick schemes. Just proven strategies to buy boring and get wealthy quietly.

If you’re tired of chasing trends and want a real plan for predictable income, this book delivers.

I can creep in quietly or strike like thunder.

I grow when you feed me but vanish when faced.

I live in shadows but fade in the light.

What am I?
