A Plan, and the Courage to Carry It Out
Matt Karamazov
July 14, 2024
📚 Hey, good morning! Time to win.
If you worked hard all week, I want you to make sure that you enjoy the Sunday that you earned.
That being said…
I hope you have a plan for the week ahead. I hope you know exactly how you plan to take everything you want in this life, and I hope you’ve decided precisely how hard you’re willing to work for the life you say that you want.
Monday comes fast, and Mondays are damn-near impossible to conquer without a plan and the courage to carry it out.
I believe in you.

I could have done better today - a lot better - but everything’s trending upwards, and I can’t say that I’m unhappy with how things are working out.
I’ve also added about 50 new subscribers from that Facebook ads campaign, and tracked down a bunch of new author leads for Instagram marketing campaigns. Right now I’m working on my campaign for Brandon Dawson’s book, Nine-Figure Mindset, which is AWESOME. One of my top business recommendations for sure.
Finished a great book today as well, Exactly What to Say, by Phil Jones. It’s suuuper short, but packed with incredible advice on persuasion and influence.
But hey, it’s 5:10AM here right now and I’m going to bed!
All the best,
Matt Karamazov
