MORE Books?! This Has to Stop...

📚 Hey, good morning! Time to win.

The first step to getting over an addiction is admitting you have a problem.

Well, I’m going to SKIP that step, because although I fully acknowledge my addiction to books and learning, I absolutely, categorically REFUSE to stop buying more.

I spent another $250 on books today (I’ll be sharing them on my Instagram as they arrive), as well as $400 on an online writing course from Kieran Drew. 

It’s called High Impact Writing, and although I just started it, I can tell you already that it’s extremely good, and he’s got pages and pages and PAGES of testimonials of past students that all say amazing things about it.

And I don’t get anything for recommending the course, either. I’m literally just telling you about it because I bought it myself today and I think it’s good.

I’ve spent a few thousand dollars recently on books, courses, and mentors, and haven’t regretted a single one.

You’ll never progress faster than you will with someone who’s more experienced than you at that thing you want to improve in leading the way.

I fully recognize that, and so I’m always willing to spend money to get next to the people who can help me change and improve my life.

I don’t even need to think about it.

$400 for High Impact Writing (including one of the upsells)?

Fuck yeah, sign me up.

$500 for that writing summit that just ended where I got to learn from 20+ of the absolute BEST writers and businesspeople in the GAME right now?

I am THERE.

You don’t have to ask ME for my credit card twice!

My point is that investing in your always generates insanely high returns.

It’s ALWAYS worth it, because…and forgive me for being a little bit cringe…YOU’RE worth it.

You have value and worth and POTENTIAL, and surrounding yourself with winners will help you expand and develop that potential to its outer limits.

I’m probably not going to buy too many more books for the next…oh, couple days or so :)

But seriously, I really will finish a few more of the books I already own before I buy new ones, but it WILL be somewhat of an internal struggle.

And just like learning itself, that internal struggle will never end.

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…

Great sleep changes EVERYTHING.

I actually got stuff DONE today, as opposed to the day before where I was pretty much operating from within a fog. Definitely NOT the way to run a business (or live a life).

Tomorrow, the main focus is my Skool community, rolling out a few new things, I still have to send out some personal welcomes to all the new members, etc. So that’ll happen tomorrow, and I have to drum up some new author business if I want to:

a) Replenish my cash reserves after buying so many books haha

b) Have enough free cash flow to reinvest back into my business and grow it EXPONENTIALLY this summer, which is the plan.

If I want to get more great sleep tonight, just like last night, I’ll need to sign off here.

So until next time…happy reading!

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
