🗓 May 9th, 2023 | Entrepreneur life
In business, I like to aim for peace.
But I remind myself to embrace war also.
Because it's unavoidable. This is the life.
Just remind yourself that all your peers and all the people you admire also go through this daily too.
Shit happens in everyone's business and life.
🗓 May 10th, 2023 | The new rat race
Half of the days I wanna devote my life to this game and keep growing my business until I’m 80.
The other half of the days I just wanna go off the grid and stop this rat race.
Paradoxically, you get into business to escape the rat race, and end up in a new one if you are not careful.

Treat whatever you do with the utmost respect.
That way you will become a pro and fall in love with it.
I treat sending fucking cold emails and analyzing the responses as if I'm building rocket ships and electric cars.
🗓 May 12th, 2023 | Trust and sales
Today I jumped on a sales call for my $3k/month plan from a prospect that found me from Google.
Hadn't read my blog. Doesn't know me from Twitter. Or some podcast interview.
Just plain cold.
So many objections.
- Why should we trust you?
- How are you different to others?
- What can you guarantee us?
- How do we know this works?
- And so on.
Damn, I have been spoilt.
Closing a B2B sale is hard if they don’t know you already.
Most of the people I have chats with in order to work together trust me already.
That's a crazy advantage.
🗓 May 13th, 2023 | Price increase
I recently increased my prices from $2k/month to $3k/month.
No change what so ever. People are still subscribing.
I feel like I could charge even more.
But I want to improve my service even more before I do that again.
🗓 May 14th, 2023 | What if you 10x your price
A little thought experiment I love playing with:
What would my service look like if it cost $30k per month?
Ok, now...
Why don't you do this anyway?
And then just double your prices.
🗓 May 15th, 2023 | Boring business, exciting life
Shiny object syndrome is real.
Everyone is chasing AI now.
I have seen this play out before. And every time it seems that "this time it's different".
My goal is to not be fancy and make goals that are not business related.
Boring business. Exciting life.
Not the other way around.
I'm just gonna stay in my lane and keep building :)
I really do love you, Alex
