Note-Taking Masterclass Today (You're Invited!)

YOUTUBE  📚 THE READING LIFE  📚  PATREON

📚 Hey, good morning! Time to win.

This is kind of short notice, but I’m hosting a masterclass today (tomorrow for me, since I haven’t been to bed yet haha) where I’ll be going over my note-taking strategy I’ve developed over the course of reading 1,250+ books.

Typically, these workshops are ONLY for Members of The Competitive Advantage private community, but I was thinking of turning this one into a YouTube video, so I thought I’d invite everyone on the main email list too.

It won’t be large group, I don’t think, probably no more than 5-10 people on the live call.

But I’ll be recording it, both for YouTube and for the other Members where they can find the recording later under the “Classroom” tab inside the community.

The time is 1PM Eastern, and the masterclass should run about 45 minutes to an hour.

My presentation itself will be close to a half hour long, then I’ll open it up to some questions, and you’re more than welcome to ask anything you’d like!

I’ll be going over how I take notes, what tools I use, what I look for and what does NOT belong in your notes, best practices and tips I’ve picked up over the years - basically everything I know about taking excellent notes.

At 1PM Eastern tomorrow, you can just click this link and you’ll be taken right to the studio - maybe I’ll see you there!

There are still 10 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.

Alright, if I’m going to teach this masterclass tomorrow, I need SLEEP. So you’ll forgive me if I cut this section short :)

Great day though. Did some work I’m proud of, made some money, made some progress, got some reading done outside in the sun…life’s good!

But hey, it’s 5:44AM here right now and I’m going to bed!

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
