I Lifted the Heaviest Weight in the ENTIRE Gym Tonight
Matt Karamazov
August 16, 2024
📚 Hey! Time to win.
As they say, the heaviest weight at the gym is the front door.
When you think about it, that’s absolutely true, because of how many obstacles there are preventing people from getting there.
Fear of looking dumb.
Fear of what people will say.
Fear of getting hurt.
Fear of looking out of shape - which is especially strange, because presumably that’s why they’re there in the first place!
So if you’re not in the habit of going to the gym, but you want to be…and you actually make it?!
Then, my friend, you’ve already lifted the heaviest weight at the gym and you should be exceptionally proud of yourself for that.
Now keep putting in the work. It’ll all pay off.
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.

Today was decently productive, although writing my other newsletter, The Reading Life, was more time-consuming than I expected. Still looking forward to those newsletter partnerships though, and turning on paid ads again.
Few more things I’m working on, of course, but for right now I’ve really gotta lock in on my August goals and keep hammering away at them. As they say, I’m 3 feet from gold :)
But hey, it’s 5:57AM here right now and I’m going to bed!
All the best,
