FROM MY WORLD

Why Beach Life Is a Scam (Sort Of)

Ever get the feeling that everyone wants the same thing?

Laptop on a beach. Coffee in hand. Seagulls squawking overhead (because apparently that’s the soundtrack to freedom now). 

The “dream life” where you check your stats, smile at the PayPal pings, and then head off to yoga or brunch or whatever makes you feel zen and smug.

Yeah... that life?

It’s a lie.

Or at least, it’s a highly overrated Instagram fantasy that loses its flavor faster than a stick of Juicy Fruit.

Most people don’t hate work—they just hate the work they’re doing. And the whole "live on the beach and do nothing" narrative? 

It sounds sexy until you try it for more than 48 hours.

Here’s the kicker: I’ve talked to tons of online entrepreneurs. Almost every time I ask them to describe their “perfect day,” it’s the same cookie-cutter response. Wake up, check stats, sip coffee, do yoga, eat clean, chill with friends... yada yada yada.

But you know what happens when they achieve that? They get bored. Fast.

Because deep down, we want more than ease. We want purpose. Meaning. Impact.

That’s why I love what I do. Writing emails, building funnels, geeking out on list-building—this is my jam. It’s not a burden. It’s blissfully addictive. My work isn’t the thing I tolerate to live my life—it is my life. And I’m cool with that.

Entrepreneurs, listen up:

If you’re working hard and loving it, you’re not broken.

You don’t need to apologize for not wanting a life of permanent vacation mode. You don’t need to fake a “balance” that looks good on paper but leaves you hollow inside.

Love in work. Work in love. That’s all there is to life.

And if you’re still chasing the beach fantasy, ask yourself this: Are you chasing freedom or running from responsibility?

Yeah, I said it.

MINDSET MAKEOVER

Success Is Not a Democracy

Let me tell you a quick story.

I used to think I was a “nice guy.”
Tried to please people.
Didn’t want to hurt feelings.
Wanted to be liked.

Sound familiar?

Here’s the punchline:
That mindset nearly destroyed my chances of building a wildly successful business.

Why?
Because I believed the soft lie that “everyone should win.”

Now before you grab your pitchforks and accuse me of being a heartless capitalist overlord…
Let me explain.

We’re conditioned from birth to believe in fairness.

  • Everyone should get a chance.

  • Everyone deserves a trophy.

  • Nobody should be left behind.

But here’s the brutal truth the real world operates on:

Success is not a democracy. It’s a dictatorship. And the dictator is the result.

In the online business game, you either perform or you get eaten. There are no participation awards. You don't get rich because you're trying. You get rich because you win.

And winning requires a mindset shift:
You stop trying to bring everyone along. You stop worrying about “being fair.” You stop waiting for permission. You start leading. You start choosing for yourself. You start doing what works, even if it pisses people off.

Because here's the deal…
Most people won't do what it takes.

  • They’ll dabble.

  • They’ll whine.

  • They’ll say it’s “too hard” or “not for them.”

You? You’re different. At least, I hope you are.

Because if you want to live a life of independence and wealth, you’ve got to toss the “everybody wins” fairy tale in the trash and embrace a sharper, more honest mindset:

Some will. Most won’t. So what. Next.

Simple. Harsh. Powerful.

Now, I’m not saying, don’t be a decent human being. I’m saying don’t sacrifice your future at the altar of fairness. Because life doesn’t reward fair. It rewards action.

Your move.

  • Do you want to stay nice and broke?

  • Or become successful and impactful?

Because in this world, you can either play nice or play to win.

You choose…

CURATED READS

What’s the Point of Revenue If You’re Still Broke?

Let me guess…

You started your online business thinking,
“If I just sell more, I’ll finally have money left over.”

Wrong.
Wanna know what really happens?

You grow your income…and somehow your expenses grow even faster.
And at the end of the month, you’re staring at your bank account like:
“Where the hell did it all go?”

That’s where Profit First comes in and slaps your financial stupidity across the face.
(Yes, including mine. Been there. Done that. Burned the t-shirt.)

Mike Michalowicz flips the traditional “Sales - Expenses = Profit” formula upside down and makes it:
Sales - Profit = Expenses.

Translation?
You pay yourself first.
Then you learn to run your business on what’s left.

Sounds scary? Good.
Because what’s really scary is building a business that looks rich but runs on fumes.

This book isn’t some dry corporate finance manual.
It’s punchy, simple, and written for people like us—entrepreneurs who want freedom, not spreadsheets.

If you’ve ever had a “successful” launch that left you broke…
If your PayPal looks good but your savings look like a desert…

Read this book.
