FROM MY WORLD

The Student Who Came Back To Triple My Business

You know that saying, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know”?

Yeah… turns out, it’s not just a cute phrase people throw around on LinkedIn to sound smart. It’s real.

Let me tell you about a relationship that almost never happened.

A few years back, this guy reached out to me, practically begging me to mentor him.
I wasn’t feeling it. Didn’t see the spark. Didn’t think he was “the one.”

But after some persistence (and a healthy dose of guilt-tripping on his part), I agreed.

He became one of my students.
He did okay. Not a rockstar. Not a flop. Just… fine.

We went our separate ways for a while, and honestly, I forgot about him.

Then one day, the universe pulled a fast one on me.

My business hit a wall — hard.
Like, smash-into-a-brick-wall-and-watch-your-laptop-burst-into-flames hard.
The kind of challenge that makes you question your life choices, your sanity, and your relationship with caffeine.

Everything I’d built felt like it was crumbling.

And then… this same student reappeared.

He’d leveled up — big time. Smarter, sharper, more creative than ever.
I invited him to work with me, thinking I was doing him a favor.
But turns out, he was the one about to save me.

He teamed up with one of his brilliant friends — a guy who now works with the government at a pretty high level (and no, I can’t tell you what he does… but let’s just say it’s classified for a reason).

Together, these two mad scientists cooked up a solution that didn’t just fix my business.
It tripled it.
In 60 days.

Sixty. Freakin’. Days.

That’s the kind of turnaround people write case studies about.
And I almost missed it — because I didn’t want to take on one more student.

That experience rewired how I think about relationships.
The right person doesn’t just “help you out.”
They can change the trajectory of your life.

And sometimes, they show up disguised as “just another client.”

So here’s my challenge to you:
Who are you overlooking right now?
Who’s sitting in your inbox or your DMs, waiting for you to take a chance on them?

Because if my story taught me anything, it’s this — one relationship can mean the difference between barely surviving and exploding past your wildest goal

MY GIFT FOR YOU

If I Had To Build A 10,000 Person Email List From Scratch, This Is The Only Tool I'd Use

Building a list is a nightmare if you don't have a system. But what if the system was already built for you? I've created a "1-Click List Machine" that's like buying a business that's already running. It's a complete, ready-to-deploy system pre-loaded with income streams and done-for-you pages. All you do is plug in your details and hit "go." You skip the work and go straight to collecting leads.

To protect the integrity and power of this system, access is strictly limited to 50 units. This ensures it doesn't get saturated. 50 people will get the shortcut. The rest will have to do it the hard way.

MINDSET MAKEOVER

The 17 Half-Built Bridges of Entrepreneurship

Let’s talk about one of the most seductive lies in entrepreneurship:

“If I just start more projects, I’ll make more money.”

Sounds logical, right?
More irons in the fire, more chances to hit gold.

Except… it doesn’t work that way.

What actually happens is this:
You end up with 17 half-built bridges, none of which get you across the river.

I learned this the hard way.

See, when you’ve got skills—when you know how to build funnels, write emails, and drive traffic—everything starts looking like an opportunity.
Crypto? Sure.
Coaching? Why not.
Ecom store? Sounds fun.

But there’s a brutal truth most people never learn until it’s too late:
Your energy, time, and focus are finite.
You can’t scale them infinitely.

And that’s why “less is more” isn’t just a cliché — it’s a survival strategy.

The winners in this game aren’t the ones juggling 10 different businesses.
They’re the ones who pick one thing, go deep, and let that depth create the branches of new opportunity.

Think of it like a tree:
You plant one seed, nurture it, let the roots go deep.
Soon enough, it grows branches — multiple income streams — all from one strong trunk.

But if you’re constantly planting new seeds and never watering any of them long enough to sprout?
You’ll end up with a field full of dirt and nothing to show for it.

So here’s your mindset shift for today:
- Don’t chase everything.
- Master something.

Because once you go deep enough, you’ll find everything else grows naturally from there.

CURATED READS

“The Magic of Thinking Big” by David J. Schwartz

Let me be real with you for a second — most people don’t fail because they aim too high and miss.
They fail because they aim too low… and hit.

That’s the whole premise behind David Schwartz’s classic The Magic of Thinking Big.
This isn’t just another “believe in yourself” fluff piece.
It’s a masterclass in reprogramming your brain to think — and act — like someone who actually expects success.

Schwartz doesn’t tell you to dream about Lambos or visualize yachts.
He shows you how to expand your mental blueprint so big that small thinking literally stops fitting in your head.

When I first read it, I realized I’d been operating on a smaller level than I thought.
Even after building a multi-million dollar business, this book punched me in the ego — in a good way.
Because no matter how far you’ve come, there’s always a next level waiting.

So if you’ve been feeling stuck, plateaued, or “meh” about your goals lately… crack open The Magic of Thinking Big.
It’ll remind you that your biggest obstacle isn’t out there — it’s in here (yes, I’m pointing to my head).

RIDDLE ME THIS

Can You Crack The Code?

I live at the edge of interest, where curiosity meets demand;

I’m small enough to try, big enough to understand.

I turn a wanderer into someone who’ll stay awhile —

What concept am I that captures attention with a smile?

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

I’m not cash, yet I measure value. I’m not profit, yet I prove worth. When I rise, marketers celebrate. When I fall, budgets vanish. What am I?

The answer is: ROMI – Return on Marketing Investment
