How to Keep Winning ALL DAY

YOUTUBE 📚 THE READING LIFE 📚 PATREON

📚 Hey! Time to win.

I’m going to draw your attention to something you’re missing right now.

You’re already winning…every single day, multiple times a day, but you’re just not paying attention. Or, you do notice some small (or big) victory while you’re going about your day, but you neglect to celebrate it.

Start noticing just how many times you’re already winning each day (I’ve started counting them and even recording them in a Google doc throughout the day as I keep noticing wins). It’ll change your life, and that’s not something I throw around lightly.

For example, today…

I posted a reel on Instagram and it got close to 5K views in the first day.

I had a new member join The Competitive Advantage community (hi, Mithil!).

I received a sponsorship offer from a closely aligned brand (will reveal when it’s finalized).

I had a great video call with a CEO/author and we had a wonderful conversation about books and business.

I had Scott D. Clary follow me on Instagram.

I finished reading a book: No B.S. Trust-Based Marketing, by Dan S. Kennedy.

I had a phenomenal chest workout.

I won’t bore you with the rest of them (that’s enough “I” sentences in a row haha), but these are WINS, and they deserve to be celebrated.

You win all the time too.

Start NOTICING.

That compliment you received the other day.

That sale you expertly closed on the phone last week.

The time that pretty bartender smiled at you.

When you got 50+ more likes on a post than you usually get.

On and on and on and on. You win ALL THE TIME, is my point, and when you train your brain to look for them, your brain will create the conditions for you to keep on winning.

Try it for a day, a week, a month…like I said, it’ll change your life.

Great day today! Tons of things came together business-wise, I’m finally feeling more on top of things, and I made some GREAT progress today. The work continues tomorrow, but today was great.

Tomorrow is going to be ALL about setting myself up for my “September Sprint.”

It was too ambitious (not something I say very often!) to attempt publishing all these articles and videos and everything this month AND updating my website, and keeping up with my coaching clients and author campaigns and everything else - it was just too much. I still have so many emails/messages to return!

So I’m taking the rest of the month to prepare for the Sprint (while still publishing a few things here and there), which will make everything more manageable and set me up for success.

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

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
