📚 Hey, good morning! Time to win.

The first day of a new month always lights me up.

I won’t wax poetic about “possibilities” or anything, I just want to say that now’s the time to learn what you can from last month (I learned a ton), recalibrate yourself and your aims, and get after it again.

Personally, last month left more than a little to be desired.

As usual, I tried to do too much, which means that I let a few goals/targets get away from me.

For example, I was hoping to be WAY further ahead in updating Time Mastery (my time management course) than I am currently.

I barely published anything on Medium, even though it’s basically EASY money, and I could have used that extra cash to fund further developments in my business.

I thought I’d be monetized on YouTube by now, and I’m about 10 followers away from 104,000 on Instagram…but I honestly thought I could get to at least 108,000 or more by the end of March.

None of that happened.

Which means I’m going to have to get a lot SMARTER about a few things.

I won’t go too deep into it, but suffice it to say I have my work cut out for me this April. Getting adequate SLEEP is going to be huge for me too.

Anyway, we probably both have lots we can improve on this month.

But it’s the FIRST DAY. April is UPON US. The whole month is laid out in front of us like a chess board, ready for us to dominate.

I’m going to be hitting April HARD. And I believe that you can too.

As always, at the bottom of this email I’ll lay out everything I did today to move closer to my Ultimate Vision. This is to keep me accountable and to show you that I’m working as hard as I’m encouraging you to work…

Strategized About Taking Over April

Decent day today, but also kinda restful and relaxing, it being Easter and all. Just seems like a day of rest, and so I used it to take a step back, strategize about next week and next month, and spend some time with my family.

Tomorrow, Monday April 1st…well that’s a different story. Now it’s a new month. We’re going HARD. I’ve got a new book breakdown coming out tomorrow, MAYBE (probably) a new YouTube video, lots of backend stuff…it’s going to be a busy one.

But I cannot WAIT to take a swing at it. This whole month is going to be AWESOME, and I’m going to hammer away at any obstacles standing in front of me until either they fall or I do.

But that’s it for today.

Until next time…happy reading!

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
