I'm Delusional

📚 Hey, good morning! Time to win.

I admit it.

I’m delusional.

Not in touch with reality.

So deep inside my own self-belief that I can’t even see any possible future in which I wind up a failure.

It’s literally not going to happen - I will not ALLOW IT to happen.

And I won’t listen to anyone who tells me that I don’t have what it takes to read 10,000 books (lifetime goal), reach $50k/month in business revenue, maintain a top 1% physique well into my mid-to-late thirties, forties, and beyond.

I also don’t talk about this publicly very much, but one of my MAIN lifetime goals is to own part of a space exploration/travel company.

Not just be a minor shareholder but, like…to get invited to meetings and shit.

That’s the goal.

And I have this delusional self-belief that, given enough time, I can do it. I can see it through to the end. I can be part of a company that leads mankind into space.

Okay, so we’ve already been to space, but you know what I mean haha.

Into space, and STAY there. Explore some MORE of it instead of sitting here arguing about fucking pronouns and imaginary borders.

I literally couldn’t care less.

Anyone who wastes their time getting angry over that shit is getting DISTRACTED while you and I are here getting rich.

They will be left behind, while we’re sitting here winning.

I have another delusional belief too, and this one’s about you.

I believe that YOU can make YOUR dreams happen too.

I hope it’s a shared delusion :)

Note: I’ll update follower counts once per week, since it’s such a waste of time to go through all of them every single night. Also, Threads annoyingly doesn’t give exact numbers. Oh well.

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…

It was such a beautiful day out, and I know that’s going to make it more difficult to stay inside and work. But I’ll be able to do it. OR just take my laptop outside. I’m thinking more about recording though - that I can’t do outside.

But I’ll figure it out. I won’t let summer - magical as it is - derail me from my biggest goals and from what I have to do to grow my business.

I’m kinda burying this down here, but inside The Competitive Advantage community, we’re having our first live call this coming Thursday - and you’re invited! We’re going to be talking about reading/learning strategies, but then I’m also going to open it up to questions and we can pretty much just hang out and talk business and money and growth until you run out of questions!

The link is here to join and get notified when the exact time of the call is.

But now, I’m going to bed!

Until next time…happy reading!

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
