Brutally Honest Advice for Men to Win in Their 20s

YOUTUBE 📚 THE READING LIFE 📚 PATREON

📚 Hey, good morning! Time to win.

I hope you don’t think I’m being lazy today, just handing you a Hormozi video and calling it a day. But this video’s incredible, and I just watched the whole thing in one go, only looking away to take another bite of my steak.

It’s called Brutally Honest Advice for Men to Win in Their 20s, and I wish that this video existed 14 years ago when I was turning 20:

There’s sooo much phenomenal life advice in every minute of that video. I’ll most likely watch it again next month, and the month after that.

It’s also STILL relevant if you’re in your 30s - hell, even your 40s and beyond, although it’s PERFECT for anyone who’s brand new to the world of business, has big ambitions, and wants to learn how to be the “last man standing,” which is pretty much what business is about. Here’s the video.

There are still 12 spots remaining inside The Competitive Advantage community and you can grab one of the last remaining ones here.

If you want my personal help to add between $1-5K/month in monthly recurring revenue to your business, and grow your audience and authority by leaps and bounds at the same time, that’s exactly where you need to be. Join here.

Alright, short message here too. I’m getting MUCH more serious about my sleep (if you’re serious about your goals, you’ll be serious about your sleep), so I’m going to do the smart thing and get extra rest for tomorrow.

It’s a big day! Several of my July goals are slipping away from me and I CANNOT let that happen. So I’m going to get some good sleep, wake up early tomorrow, SMASH my task list from the time I wake up until the time I go to bed, and then repeat that every day until the end of the month.

It’ll be close, and I need all the brainpower I can muster.

But hey, it’s 4:22AM here right now and I’m going to bed!

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
