Every issue of this newsletter gives you the exact systems, strategies, and principles I’ve used to generate 8 figures (almost entirely) with email marketing. So you can build your own systems that will carry you through the next algorithm change or recession. This is what actually works.

In today's issue:

I used to tell myself I was working all day, even though my phone sat right next to me, a meme site was open in one tab, and a pile of “important stuff” was scattered all around my screen, pretending to count as progress. Then I’d look up after hours of this and genuinely wonder why nothing meaningful was actually done.

Here’s what was really happening. I’d work for a few minutes, then let something small pull me away, then come back and repeat the same pattern while convincing myself it didn’t matter. It felt harmless because each distraction was short, but the damage didn’t show up immediately.

The bill shows up when you try to get back into the zone.

It doesn’t take one minute. It takes 20. Sometimes 30. Sometimes 40. And that’s if you’re lucky. So a three-hour work block quietly turns into scattered effort stitched together with frustration, because your brain keeps restarting instead of building momentum.

I’ve seen the opposite happen, too. Those accidental days when nobody interrupts you and nothing pings for attention. You sit down, get locked in, and suddenly it’s bam, bam, bam—decisions made, problems solved, real work finished. You look up and think, how did I get more done in 45 minutes than I did all week?

That’s flow, and most people only stumble into it by accident.

The stress part is what surprised me most. It’s not just lost productivity. Your mind starts to feel noisy and fragmented, like too many tabs open at once creating that low-grade buzzing you can’t shut off. That’s not burnout from doing too much. That’s burnout from never finishing a thought.

Most people think success comes from obsession, but they miss the real point. Obsession just means you shut everything else off long enough to let one thing fully consume your attention. Focus isn’t intensity. It’s protection.

So here’s what you need to do to get things done: Protect one uninterrupted block—thirty minutes, no phone, no inbox, no “just checking.” Guard it like it matters, because it does.

See what shows up when you stop letting minutes steal your day.

Most people spend years trying to figure out how to build a profitable online business from scratch…

Or waste time and effort by trying to put together various incomplete systems and frameworks given to them by gurus… 

But what if you could skip all that and just copy one that's already generating $10,016,226 in sales?

Tomorrow at 2 PM EST, I'm hosting a training where you'll discover how to copy my complete $10,016,226 online business instead of building one from scratch.

I'm walking through the offers, the pages, the automations, the traffic sources, the ads, and the affiliate promotions. Everything that makes the business work.

There's only 200 spots for the training, and the room tends to fill up fast. See you there.

Most people believe they’re making fresh, rational decisions every day, but what’s actually happening is that they’re operating inside a self-image that was largely formed before they were twelve, and they move through adulthood without ever noticing how tightly it still controls them.

It’s like the old story about the fish swimming in water that don’t even know what water is, because your self-image runs quietly in the background deciding what feels possible, what feels uncomfortable, and what feels unrealistic for someone “like you,” which is why it ends up driving your habits, your follow-through, and the way you interpret setbacks.

That’s why real change is so rare, even when the consequences are obvious and painful. Someone can get a serious warning, promise themselves they’ll change immediately, and still walk straight back into the same behavior, because willpower doesn’t rewrite identity and change doesn’t stick until the self-image itself gets challenged.

I’ve seen this play out over and over again with students, where explanations, coaching, and even thousands of hours of guidance don’t move the needle, not because the information is wrong, but because deep down they carry a belief that they’re not supposed to succeed, so the moment momentum shows up, guilt follows and progress starts to feel unsafe.

The only real way out is friction, which usually shows up as failure you don’t explain away, resistance you don’t rationalize, or moments that force you to question the old story instead of defending it. If you’re paying attention, those moments are already happening.

The next time something doesn’t work, resist the urge to turn it into proof that you’re not cut out for this, and ask a harder question instead: what belief about myself just got exposed here?

Most people selling “prosperity” swear they’re doing it to help others, and I don’t doubt the intention, but intention doesn’t stop damage when the teacher doesn’t actually know how to teach or hasn’t lived what they’re preaching.

That’s why this conversation with Peter Wolfing hit differently for me. He’s not a theorist and he’s not a hype merchant. He’s helped hundreds of thousands of people generate real commissions, and he talks openly about leadership, discipline, and the uncomfortable responsibility that comes with freedom, especially when nobody is telling you what to do.

What stood out wasn’t tactics. It was his insistence that before you can lead anyone else, you have to lead yourself, because without that internal discipline, freedom turns into self-sabotage fast.

If you’ve ever wondered why so many people fail after getting “the opportunity,” this episode will make that painfully clear, and probably a little personal.

This book explains why momentum dies after things start working.

Ego turns freedom into entitlement, feedback into offense, and discipline into “I’ve got this.” That’s how people lose what they just earned.

If success has ever felt harder to hold than to achieve, this will click fast. Not fluffy. Not preachy. Just a quiet mirror you won’t be able to unsee.

I reward motion but punish completion,
The busier I make you, the less you finish.

What am I?
