This Business Book is in My Personal Top 10

YOUTUBE 📚 THE READING LIFE 📚 PATREON

📚 Hey! Time to win.

I want you guys thinking bigger this month - MUCH bigger - and so I’m going to share my notes from Nine-Figure Mindset, by Brandon Dawson.

Out of the hundreds of business and money books I’ve read in the last ten years, it’s in my personal Top 10, and Brandon’s been a big inspiration to me recently.

He’s failed before. He’s started back from the beginning. He’s gone through some shit. Overcome OTHER shit, mentored others, BEEN mentored by others, always kept an open mind and an expansive vision…

And it all came together when he sold his company for $151,000,000 a few years ago.

That’s where “Nine-Figure Mindset” comes from. He’s a BIG, bold thinker with a strong vision for the future, and, really, we all need more of that in our lives.

Here’s a link to the book on Amazon, but always remember, the rest of the world often conspires to keep us thinking small. Living small. Believing small.

Most of the world is trapped in shallow, self-destructive thinking, and you and I have to avoid that at all costs.

We avoid it by reading the best books, seeking out strong mentors and joining supportive communities, and we avoid the fate of the masses by always REFUSING to think small about our one and only lives.

MY life will be BIG.

YOUR life can be BIG.

Now’s the time. There is no other.

Another solid August day in the books! Really feeling good this month, and it’s nice to see all my hard work pay off. This will be the busiest and most disorganized I’ll be for a long time, as you know it’s been kind of a crazy few months.

Well, crazy year and a half haha. IYKYK.

But we’re back! And we’re here to win.

But hey, it’s 5:23AM here right now and I’m going to bed!

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
