Prosperity and Abundance? Or Misery and Poverty?

YOUTUBE 📚 THE READING LIFE 📚 PATREON

📚 Hey! Time to win.

It’s the strangest thing.

You can just choose to demand prosperity and abundance (wealth in all its multitudinous forms), and it doesn’t take any more effort to do so than to choose the opposite in life.

To settle for less.

Of course you have to back up this choice with positive action and consistent, positive habits, but the choice itself doesn’t take any more effort or focus.

You can just decide.

You can decide what kind of life you’re going to aim for, what your one and only life is going to be ABOUT.

Will it be “about” wealth and happiness? Deep fulfillment?

Or will it be “about” settling, opting out, living “less than” for the rest of your life.

Choose. Now. And keep choosing for as long you want to live rich.

Workout: Legs (Home Workout)

I didn’t go to the gym, but I did so many bodyweight squats that my legs are on FIRE - not quite as good, but still something. The time I saved I put into moving some business stuff forward, but obviously I don’t feel great about having “skipped” the gym today.

Alright, solid day of progress! I actually feel wonderful about many things, including the GREAT newsletter partnerships I’ve been able to set up today.

I’ll be able to add a few thousand subscribers to my newsletter and at least $300-$500 in profit I believe. This will only snowball as I gain more and more subscribers.

Which will also make my author PROMOTION offers more attractive, as the authors I work with will be able to get exposure to a much larger audience. So I’m excited to get a solid flywheel effect in motion here.

That doesn’t even count YouTube, which will popping OFF this year. I have so many awesome videos coming down the pipe it’s unreal.

But hey, it’s 4:22AM here right now and I’m going to bed!

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
