June Reading Recap (I Read 5 GREAT Books Last Month)

YOUTUBE  📚 THE READING LIFE  📚  PATREON

📚 Hey, good morning! Time to win.

I’m not going to sit here and tell you that I’m not exhausted - because I totally am! It was a good day though:

I published my June Reading Recap on YouTube, and I’m 2 for 2 so far on daily YouTube videos this month.

It’s going to be tough to get one out every single day for an entire month, but I’m COMMITTED to getting monetized on YouTube this month and opening up an entirely new revenue stream in my business.

Which I can then REINVEST in my business to grow it even MORE!

You know I always think several steps ahead :)

All five of the books I read last month are great, but they’re great in different ways - a few of them couldn’t be more different than one another!

You’ll see why when you watch 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.

Another SOLID day of reading, writing, recording, and just growing my business! I loved (almost) every minute of today. I love what I do!

I definitely am exhausted though. The GOOD kind of exhausted, the kind you feel when you know you did everything you could to make your vision a reality.

But hey, it’s 6:04AM here right now and I’m going to bed!

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
