FROM MY WORLD
Why New Is the Old Distraction
Have you ever felt like you're running late to a party that hasn't even started yet?
That’s exactly how most people approach making money online.
They chase the latest Instagram hack.
They jump on the newest AI tool.
They buy the freshest marketing course—because, obviously, if it’s new, it must be better, right?
Wrong.
I talk about why the obsession with “new” is destroying your chances of success—and what to do instead.
See, the biggest money-makers in the world—Agora, Guthy-Renker, and the legends of direct response marketing—aren’t reinventing the wheel.
They’re just refining the same proven systems that have worked for over a century.
Email marketing? Been crushing it since the '90s.
Direct response sales letters? Dominated since the early 1900s.
Building a list? As old as marketing itself.
So why do most people ignore the classics and chase “shiny objects”?
Real success takes work—and sticking with what works isn’t sexy.
But guess what? The boring, proven stuff is what makes money.
So here’s my challenge to you:
Next time you feel the itch to buy the next hot strategy, ask yourself—is this tested, or is this just trendy?
Because the difference between struggling and thriving isn’t how “new” your method is.
It’s whether you’re sticking with what works.

MINDSET MAKEOVER
Endurance Beats Genius Every Time
Most people don’t fail because they’re not smart enough.
They fail because they quit too soon.
See, the people who make it big online—the ones raking in six or seven figures—aren’t necessarily the smartest, the most tech-savvy, or even the most talented.
They’re just the ones who refuse to give up.
Most beginners treat success like some kind of magic trick. They think, “If I just find the right method, the perfect course, or the latest hack, I’ll be set.”
But that’s not how this game works.
Real success isn’t about knowing everything. It’s about staying in the game long enough to figure things out.
I hear people say, “I don’t want to lose money on ads.”
Here’s the truth: There’s no such thing as losing money on advertising.
You’re not losing; you’re learning.
Every dollar spent is a lesson.
Every failed campaign is data.
Every setback is a step forward—if you don’t quit.
But most people? They throw in the towel at the first sign of struggle. They get discouraged, complain that things are “too hard,” and go back to the comfort of a predictable paycheck.
They don’t even realize how close they were to a breakthrough.
Success isn’t some mystical force. It’s just a series of steps repeated over and over until you win.
And here’s the best part…
Once you get there, it’s better than you ever imagined.
Waking up when you want.
Traveling whenever you feel like it.
Making money while playing video games (or doing whatever the hell you love).
You don’t get there by quitting.
You don’t get there by dabbling.
You get there by sticking with it long after most people have given up.
So, ask yourself: Are you willing to outlast the quitters?
Because if you are, you’re already ahead of 99% of people.
