Ideas Are Meaningless Without This

YOUTUBE  📚 THE READING LIFE  📚  PATREON

📚 Hey, good morning! Time to win.

That's from the latest book I finished, No B.S. Guide to Succeeding in Business by Breaking All the Rules, by Dan Kennedy, which I probably won't mention very often because it takes so long to type out the title haha!

But seriously, GREAT book.

And he's right: soooo many people have ideas.

Even GOOD ideas.

Good ideas that could make them millions!

But they don't EXECUTE on those ideas, so they never see the light of day.

It's why I don't take seriously people "stealing" my ideas. If I had been moving as fast as I needed to, they wouldn't have been ABLE to steal my idea - it would have already been realized!

I forget who said it (maybe my friend Steve Sims), but there was a line that went something like, "While you're still thinking about it, I've already tried 50 things that didn't work and quickly moved on to something that DID work."

Ideas are cheap. IMPLEMENTATION is extraordinarily valuable.

Kind of a weird day, what with waking up hella early and driving my mother to the airport (I miss her already). But it was a good day though!

This whole has been wonderful for my business, but I haven’t been getting my STATED goals achieved - I’ve been productive, making money, all that good stuff. And growing my following too. But I haven’t made the kind of progress on the above goals that I would have liked.

A lot of that has to do with systems, and mine ARE better. June WILL be tremendously productive, and I’ll get everything done.

It just feels like I should ALREADY have it done, and every day that I don’t have my welcome sequence up, my pages updated, etc., just feels like I’m “waiting.”

But hey, it’s 3:38AM here right now and I’m going to bed!

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
