In today's issue:

Selling two things at once is like squeezing three people through one doorway. Because your list can only choose one path, you give them choices and they choose none.

Here’s what I do instead. I run one-off promotions for a week, five days, three days, or I build a deliberate sequence. 

If I were in golf, I’d start with equipment, then memberships, then training with a pro, then gadgets, then supplements. Each offer serves the same market, so I send them in succession, not in parallel. That cascade method builds clarity because one message leads to the next, and the next, so momentum compounds rather than bleeding away.

I learned this the hard way. I used to blast different promos at once, and the inbox looked like a bad trade show: confusing copy, ten CTAs, mixed promises. People replied, “Which one is for me?” and then did nothing. So I stopped. I tightened the copy, trimmed the extras, and kept the promise simple: what you buy, why you buy it, and how you get the result. 

One mentor put it bluntly: “Don’t be easy to understand, be impossible to misunderstand.” I made that my rule.

Specifics matter. Run offers in short windows (3–7 days). Sequence them around a logical buyer journey (tool → training → recurring). Measure one conversion at a time. Because when you eliminate noise, conversions rise. And because misaligned expectations are the real source of most refunds and headaches, clarity saves time and reputation.

Confusion kills sales faster than a bad product.

I stopped chasing traffic years ago. Instead, I built something simple. An email list.

Every time I click "send", I collect payments.  Sometimes hundreds, sometimes thousands, sometimes even tens of thousands.

I do it all without trying to become social media famous, dancing on TikTok, or getting on the 24/7 content grinder.

My list has been laying golden eggs day after day, year after year. Only they've grown bigger in size, because my list has grown larger every year.

This email list funded my 8-figure lifestyle, and now I'm giving away the entire blueprint in a book that normally sells for $24.95.

But you can grab it today for just $2.95 using the coupon code “CLICKGOLD” at checkout (saves you $22) until November 20.

You'll get the complete Email ATM Blueprint plus a bonus case study showing exactly how I generated $100,000 in 7 days from a single campaign (every email, every landing page, every conversion tactic)..

You can give people the map, and they’ll still sit on the couch. I watched it happen: a room of about 100 solo-ad sellers, I taught everything I knew, I got a standing ovation — and twelve months later, only three were left. Compliments don't pay the bills.

Most people think great content equals action. That’s wrong because attention and urgency are different animals. I reviewed a friend’s webinar today: the presenter is an email expert, and the training was legitimately solid, but there was no drama, no stakes, no urgency. So people could admire the lesson and then do nothing. My friend’s webinar proved the rule: if you don’t force a decision, people defer it until never.

Here’s the blunt truth: information without pressure is a museum tour. Because humans are complacent, you must design the event so that the rational thing is also the immediate thing.

That means creating a real cost to waiting, and a simple bridge to act. 

Armand Morin didn’t start with software, funnels, or a polished brand. He started by selling his browser bookmarks: 600-plus categorized links he’d collected during sleepless nights in 1996, and that crude membership site pulled in $4.2 million in 12 weeks. That one wild win set off a chain of problems, including a merchant account freeze that yanked $2.1 million out of his bank overnight.

Why does this matter to you? Because Armand built an entire career by solving the next problem in front of him. No coding or plan. Just “Why not me?” and relentless follow-through. That’s the real path out of the nine-to-five trap: fix a problem you actually have, then sell the solution.

This episode is a front-row seat to that thinking. If you’ve ever doubted your starting point, this story erases the excuse.

If you’ve ever looked at your niche, your emails, your offers — or even your entire business — and thought:

“Why isn’t anyone paying attention!?” …Seth Godin’s Purple Cow is your antidote.

This book punches you in the face with one uncomfortable truth:

Being good gets ignored, being better gets forgotten, but only being truly remarkable gets you paid.

And Godin doesn’t mean remarkable as in “polished logo,” “nice funnel,” or “catchy headline.” He implies that so different people literally have to talk about you.

He means creating something that interrupts the pattern, the same way a purple cow would make you slam your brakes if you saw one on the side of the road.

Read it once for the strategy, twice for the mindset shift, and read it three times to tattoo the message onto your entrepreneurial soul.

You build me by giving, spend me when people follow.
One bad move withdraws more than a single borrow.

What am I?
