In today's issue:

Ever feel like you're doing a lot but getting nowhere?

Like you're hustling hard—taking courses, watching webinars, trying SEO on Monday, affiliate marketing on Tuesday, and crypto by Friday—and still feel stuck AF?

You're not alone.

But here's the deal: it's not because you're lazy. It's not even because you're stupid (you’re not). It’s because you lack one thing:

Clarity.

Let me paint you a picture.

I’m on a plane to Florida. Gonna speak at The Groove Mastermind. I sit next to this guy who recognizes me. Cool moment. We get to talking.

Turns out he's going to a conference too—SEO something-or-other. So I ask the obvious:
“Oh, so you’re into SEO?”
He says, “Nah, not really… just thought I’d check it out.”

Wait, what?

I dig a bit more. Turns out he’s trying five different business models at once. All at the same time. No clear direction. No clue what to focus on.

And I can almost bet money that he picked up a sixth or seventh thing by the end of that weekend.

This is what most people do.
They try to do everything and end up doing nothing well.

They collect courses like Pokémon cards, start them, drop them, bounce to the next shiny object.

And you know what? These aren’t bad people. These are smart, motivated folks who say they want success.

But deep down, they don’t really know why.

Now contrast that with one of my best students ever.

When I asked him why he wanted to build an online biz, he didn’t say “freedom,” or “money,” or “to help people.”

He said this:

“I need FU money. My boss once told me I couldn’t have Christmas off to be with my daughter. I’ll never let someone else decide if I can be a dad again.”

Boom. Clarity.

This dude wasn’t dabbling. He wasn’t halfway in.

Within 90 days, he quit his job.
By the end of the year? $100K.
Eventually? $100K/month. All from affiliate marketing.

And get this—when a blizzard knocked out his town’s power, this man checked into a hotel just to keep working.

That’s the kind of energy clarity gives you.
That’s the difference between a drifter and a dominator.

So the real question is…

Are you working hard because you’re clear—or because you’re lost?

If you don’t have that “FU” reason yet, you'd better find it.

Otherwise, you’ll just keep spinning your wheels, stacking up unfinished funnels and half-written email sequences while someone else lives the life you keep saying you want.

There’s a window in every online entrepreneur’s life where they ask:

“Why the hell am I working so hard… and still not making real money?”

I hit that wall years ago. Then I built something that flipped the script.

I wrote this short book to show you exactly what I did — the system I still use today to turn emails into income, without chasing trends or dancing for clicks.

And yeah — it costs less than gas to get to work.

But don’t let the price fool you.

This isn’t a book you buy. It’s a fork in the road.

Let’s be real.

Most of us have the motivation of a half-asleep goldfish. We say we want success, freedom, six-pack abs, and a Lamborghini. But then we get distracted by a YouTube ad, and before you know it—we're elbows deep in a mukbang video wondering where the last two hours went.

Here's the truth no one likes to admit: your brain is not wired for success.

It's wired for survival. And for comfort. And for watching dumb stuff online instead of doing what’ll actually change your life.

So, how do you outsmart it?

Gamification.

And no, I don’t mean slapping on a point system and calling it a day.
I’m talking about a full-blown psychological rewire—a structure that rewards every tiny win, builds confidence fast, and creates momentum before your brain has time to sabotage you.

It starts with one thing: a clear win state.

If you don’t know what “winning” looks like in your business, your course, or even your daily habits, then guess what? Your brain stops caring.

It zones out.
You drift.
You quit.

But the moment you give it a finish line, something crazy happens. You engage. You fight. You show up. Because now your brain knows what it’s playing for.

Even better?

Start with an easy win.
Something stupidly simple.

Buy a domain.
Make a list of your dream 50 outcomes.
Click a button.

Why? Because when you win early, you feel like a winner. And winners keep showing up.

Your brain is hungry for dopamine. Give it that quick hit—and it’ll chase the next one.

The key is to structure your progress motivationally, not logically.
Forget starting with boring context or why-this-matters modules.
Instead, let people experience momentum from step one.

Because once you stack a few small wins?
You’ll do things you once thought were impossible.
You’ll stay consistent. You’ll push through the “meh” moments.
You’ll start becoming the person you keep pretending to be on social media.

Motivation isn’t magic.
It’s math. It’s dopamine. It’s a smart structure.
It’s building systems that work with your psychology, not against it.

So if you’ve been feeling stuck, don’t beat yourself up. Just redesign the damn game.

And next time you make a to-do list, put something ridiculously easy at the top.

Then do it.
Then celebrate like you just won the Olympics.

Your brain won’t know the difference.

But your results will.

Have you ever wondered how a turbulent past can lead to a transformative future?

In this episode, I’m thrilled to welcome Patrick Stiles, the founder and CEO of “Vidalytics”, a revolutionary video hosting and analytics platform. Tune in as Patrick shares his inspiring story of reinvention, valuable lessons from failure, and insights into the current state of video marketing. 

From debunking myths about VSL lengths to strategies for optimizing video funnels, this conversation will leave you inspired to rethink your approach to video and life itself.

What happens when an unstoppable force like artificial intelligence collides with human ambition, billion-dollar agendas, and a whole lotta hype?

You get this book.

Supremacy isn’t some dry tech manual or sci-fi fantasy—it’s a fast-paced, behind-the-scenes thriller about the real-world battle for AI dominance. Think Google, OpenAI, Microsoft, and every tech billionaire you love to hate (or secretly admire) clawing for the future of the world.

It pulls back the curtain on how tools like ChatGPT came to be—and why they’re not just the flavor of the month, but the future of everything. Marketing, education, politics, war, work—nothing’s off the table.

And if you think this has nothing to do with your online business?

Think again.

Because the entrepreneurs who understand AI will dominate. Period.
The ones who don’t? They’ll be on Fiverr in five years, wondering what happened.

This book is your red pill. Swallow it, and you’ll start seeing how to use AI not just as a tool—but as a weapon.

Required reading for anyone who doesn’t want to get eaten alive by the algorithm.

I’m not a shotgun blast, I’m a rifle’s aim,

I don’t chase crowds, I play the name.

With fewer leads, but bigger dreams,

I turn cold outreach into winning schemes.

What am I?
