🗓 May 16th, 2023 | Real life superhero
My heroes used to be humble millionaires and billionaires.
The ones that hardly spent their money.
Like Bill Gates and Zuckerberg.
Now my biggest hero is fucking Tom Cruz.
He is spending his money to live his ultimate lifestyle.
Heck, he's actually a superhero in real life.
Flying planes, doing stunts, having dinner with the royal family. Producing cool movies and casting himself as the lead actor.
Love that. Make some money and then do some cool shit.
Stop chasing the next arbitrary milestone.
🗓 May 17th, 2023 | Storytelling is a superpower
It’s all about the story.
Take Jake Paul for example.
His skills are mediocre at best.
Yet he is one of the biggest draws in combat sports.
Most people are obsessed over being the best.
When they should obsess over having an interesting story instead.
It’s not about what you do.
It’s about how you do it.
And about who you are.
🗓 May 18th, 2023 | Staying small
I recently experience the biggest breaking changes in cold email history.
Gmail is cracking down on cold email and I had to change systems all over the business.
And then train all 3 of my VAs on the new SOPs and how to do things.
Super stressful.
Made me wonder what I would do if I had 100 clients instead of 20. And if I had huge expenses.
I would probably panic out of my mind.
I love being small. And I think I will stay like this for a very long time.
🗓 May 19th, 2023 | Breaking changes
Gmail just made the biggest breaking change in cold email history.
Initially I was stressed and annoyed as hell.
But I’m gonna use this to my advantage.
This is the ultimate stress test. And why I want to remain small and nimble forever.
Small is beautiful and less fragile.
Let’s see how fast I can respond to the biggest breaking change in my industry’s history.
Starting from… now!
Off I go, grabbing a coffee and going to the library.
🗓 May 20th, 2023 | Final destination
I keep reminding myself that I am already at my final destination.
I get stressed and feel th e need to work and sometime I don't wanna go out and want to stay home.
Then I ask, what would a cool young millionaire do?
Well, whatever the fuck he wanted. In this case he would go out.
Then do that.
And I’ll get to that millionaire status regardless. In the next year or so.
No more deferring happiness.
🗓 May 21st, 2023 | Stress test
I recently went through the ultimate stress test.
I had eye surgery and couldn't work a lot or at all some days.
I flew to New York and couldn't work a lot either.
I scaled up to 20 clients.
And Gmail introduced the biggest breaking changes in cold email history.
Yet, I still managed to survive. Just lost a couple of clients and had to deal with some complaints.
But I adapted and improved.
And 20 clients is all I want. Just at a higher price point.
I think I passed the test.
Barely.. but passed.
🗓 May 22nd, 2023 | Almost there
All I want is to stay at 20 clients.
We can do this!
$1M/year with 20 clients at $3k/month. And another $20k/month or so from the newsletter.
I really do love you, Alex
