We all want more visibility. The more visible you are, the more people you can share your message with, the more people you can help, the more money you can make. So it astounds me when people don’t put more effort into becoming more visible. If you’re not visible, you’re wasting your time. It’s as simple as that. You won’t be able to have the same impact without massive visibility! It’s a MUST. And I know you want to make an impact. You want to help people, yes? You want to make more money, correct? So why aren’t you making visibility a priority? Not just as a “nice to do”, but as a MUST DO, every day? If you want to stand out and be noticed so you can impact more people and make more money, be different and do things that are different from what others are doing. Don’t fake anything, but don’t try to hide who you really are, either. Trust me, that’s no fun and it doesn’t do what you think it will. I used to hide all of the tattoos on my body. I used to lie about what I liked and disliked so I would fit in. I used to bit my tongue instead of speaking my mind. I used to wear clothes that were more “my age”. I used to pretend I enjoyed small talk with anyone. I faked it all the time because I wanted to be liked and I wanted to fit in with everyone. I never truly was liked (not the real me, anyway), and I never did end up...

I was journaling this morning about everything I’m grateful for right now and one thing I noticed was that almost every single thing on my list was something I asked for and then believed as being done. I asked for $10K months. I asked for my first client. I asked for a new home. I asked for my coveted Escalade. I asked for more entrepreneur friends. I asked for $30K months. I asked for passive income. I asked for a content manager. I asked for weight loss. I asked for $50K months. I asked for business-class (or better) travel. I ASKED for those things. And I RECEIVED those things. Some straight away, some weeks or months after I started asking for them. But everything I created in my life started from the decision to just ASK for what I wanted. You can do the same in your life. Just start asking for (and then EXPECTING) what you want! The key, though, is to ask for what you want in a very specific manner. And have a REASON behind each ask. For example, let’s say what you want is a new home. First of all, what does that new home look like? How many bedrooms does it have? Where is it located? What is the view like? How big is the kitchen? GET SPECIFIC. And then – WHY do you want that home? What is the meaning behind asking for it? If you don’t have a meaningful reason behind why you want something, you’re not going to receive it because there is no emotion behind it. No bigger purpose other than...

What you spend your time on each day really matters. What you DON’T spend time on each day also really matters. Because let’s face it: There are a ton of things you COULD do each day. Your entire day could be filled with tasks and you would still get to the end of the day feeling unfulfilled and like you accomplished nothing. Wait… You mean that’s how things feel NOW? Of course you can’t enjoy life more! Of course you can’t make more money! Of course you can’t feel completely free! Of course everything feels hard! Because you’re doing the things you don’t need to do and avoding (or half-assing) the things that are important. I’ve created multiple businesses in the past 13 years and most of them failed. Not because the business was bad. Not because the idea behind the business was bad. And definitely not because I was bad. They failed because my strategy was bad. It took me over a decade of trial and error (and a lot of money, time, tears and frustration) to learn the proper strategy. A strategy that allows me to – Work when I want to Make money being me Create/say/do/be/have anything I want Cultivate meaningful relationships Enjoy my life more Travel business class always Spend hours writing and reading every day (2 of my favourite things) Eat whatever I want Buy whatever I want Make money easily Work with people I really LOVE I mean, I could go on. I just wrapped up an hour of journaling time where I filled up 2 pages of things I’m grateful for in...

Enough is enough with the wandering around aimlessly. If you’re not ready to really WIN at this game of entrepreneurship – If you’re not ready to give it your ALL – If you’re not ready to be the BEST – Get the fuck out of the sandbox. Go and get a “regular” job and live like the normals: dreading Monday, praying for Friday and spending each day wishing they were doing exactly the opposite than they’re doing in that moment. Listen – If you weren’t born to be an entrepreneur, you just weren’t born to be an entrepreneur. THAT’S OKAY. Stop trying to be someone you’re not. You may very well live a normal life that you love. You may enjoy being normal and just like everybody else. It’s possible that that’s your thing. It’s not my thing though, and I don’t associate with people who enjoy that kind of life, so it’s probably best to unsubscribe, unfollow, unlike, straight up IGNORE everything you hear from me because you won’t like it, nor will it resonate with and help you. I can’t help anyone that isn’t already IN IT. You just KNOW deep within your gut that this life you’re living is the one you’ve been striving for. Sure, it may not be perfect and you’re probably nowhere near where you want to be (and let’s be honest: you likely won’t ever be there because your goals will just keep getting BIGGER), but you KNOW that this work you’re doing? What you’re spending your time on right now? Is what you LOVE. Is what you’ve always wanted. You just...

How many times are you going to say you’re gonna do something and then back out? How many times are you going to let another helpful opportunity pass you by? How many times are you going to take the easy route, the cheapest route, the safest route – Instead of going all in and taking the route that gets you what you want FASTER? Aren’t you sick and tired of the roller coaster ride you’ve been on for ages now? Are you ready for some stability, some security, and less FEAR about what’s gonna happen next? The uncertainty can be debilitating, can’t it? I think one of the biggest mistakes I made with ALL of my businesses in the past is that I did things WAY slower than I had to. I would try to figure everything out on my own. I didn’t want help, I was way too much of a perfectionist to have someone else doing something for me, and I was way too cheap to hire someone to support me. I did it all myself. Even the stuff I wasn’t good at, which is why it took me FOREVER to get results. In my last business, it took me 6 years to hit $100,000/year in revenue. In my current business, it took me about 6 MONTHS. Why such a drastic difference? Because in my last business, I was so caught up on saving money and doing everything myself, thinking I HAD to know how to do certain things, that I wasted YEARS doing everything on my own, learning each and every thing as I went, instead of...
