In today's issue:

There’s an old saying that goes, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”

Well, in business… it’s also paved with best practices.

You know the ones — “experts” swearing that this is the right way to write your welcome email, that is the perfect time to post, and if you don’t follow their magical checklist… you’re doomed.

Here’s what I’ve learned after a decade of actually doing this stuff:
When most people agree on something, it’s probably time to question it.

Because when you follow the crowd, you end up exactly where the crowd is — broke, bored, and believing you’re doing everything “right.”

Take email marketing.
The so-called “best practice” says your first email should be a friendly little introduction — a feel-good note about who you are, why you’re grateful they joined, maybe even a few personal details to “build connection.”

Sounds nice, right?
Sure — but it does nothing to help the reader solve the problem they signed up for.

You know what I send instead?
A pitch.

Yup — I skip the warm fuzzies and get straight to helping my subscriber solve the problem they signed up for.
They want results, not my life story.

And guess what? It works.

Because people don’t want more “content.” They want change. They want out of their pain — fast.

So when “best practice” tells you to play nice and wait…
I say, don’t wait. Deliver.

This idea doesn’t just apply to email, by the way.
It applies to life, to business, to the way we raise kids, even to education.

We send our kids into systems that churn out conformity — not creativity. We follow rules that were made for a world that no longer exists. And then we wonder why we feel stuck.

Look — if you’re getting average results, it’s probably because you’re doing what average people do.
It’s not your fault. It’s how the world trains us.

But the real game-changers?
They don’t follow the manual — they rewrite it.

So the next time someone says, “That’s not how it’s done,”
smile… and do it anyway.

Because “best practice” might be good enough for the masses —
but it’ll never make you massively successful.

Brace yourself — this one cuts close to home.

Most people quit moments before they were about to win.

Not because they’re lazy.
Not because they lack talent.
But because success doesn’t announce itself politely — it hides behind months of silence, frustration, and second-guessing.

We love the fantasy of “steady progress.”
Work hard → get rewarded → level up → repeat.
Sounds nice, right?
Except that’s not how this game works.

Business — real business — is like building underground.
You dig and dig, shoveling through doubt, doing the unglamorous work no one sees.
And for the longest time… it looks like nothing’s happening.

Until it all hits at once.

One campaign takes off.
One connection changes everything.
One new idea doubles your income.
And suddenly people are asking, “How’d you do it so fast?”

They never saw the layers.

Because that’s what success really is — layers quietly stacking until the weight of your effort breaks the surface.
Then, boom — momentum.

Let’s call it what it is:
Every late night, every failed test, every email that flopped… it’s all compounding.
Even when it feels like you’re standing still, you’re not. You’re stacking bricks.

So if you’re in the middle of that “nothing’s working” season — don’t you dare stop.
That’s not the end of your story. That’s just the silence before the explosion.

Keep showing up.
Keep stacking.
Because while everyone else quits, you’ll be the one still digging when the gold finally shows up.

And when it does…
you won’t call it luck.
You’ll call it proof.

What do Microsoft, birthday party magic, and Donald Trump’s media strategy possibly have in common?
One man — Jack Turk.

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on Jack’s wild journey — from writing tech manuals for Age of Empires to performing magic shows to leading the copy team at GKIC.

You’ll discover what Trump’s communication style teaches us about capturing attention in a noisy world, why most marketers completely miss the mark on messaging, and why speed always beats perfection when it comes to making money online.

Love him or hate him, Trump changed the game — and Jack’s breaking down exactly how you can use the same psychology to build a business people can’t ignore.

Tune in now and learn how to market louder, faster, and smarter — without adding more noise.

You’ve probably heard Think and Grow Rich mentioned a thousand times.
It’s one of those books people love to quote — but very few actually apply.

Here’s why it’s still a must-read (especially if you’re building an online business):
This isn’t just a book about “positive thinking.” It’s a manual for mental rewiring.

Hill spent 20 years studying the richest, most successful people of his time — and what he discovered still applies 100 years later:
Success starts in your mind long before it shows up in your bank account.

The moment you start thinking like a winner — making decisions from vision, not fear — everything begins to shift.
Your actions get bolder. Your goals get bigger. And opportunities start showing up that were invisible before.

Whether you’re starting from zero or scaling fast, Think and Grow Rich reminds you of the most powerful truth in business:
Your mindset is your real capital.

If it’s been sitting on your shelf, dust it off.
If you’ve never read it, now’s the time.
Because every breakthrough — financial or otherwise — begins with a single thought.

Pro tip: Keep a notebook next to you while reading. You’ll want to capture the ideas that hit hardest — they’ll come fast.

I’m quiet at first, then I tell the full story —

Not the single sale, but what a customer’s worth in glory.

I add up every purchase and every repeat,

The richer I am, the more your business eats.

What am I?
