Success is a Choice

YOUTUBE  📚 THE READING LIFE  📚  PATREON

📚 Hey, good morning! Time to win.

This book will be the next breakdown I’m releasing this week, and you’ll hear about it when it’s ready.

For such a short book, I took an insane amount of notes. Literally dozens of quotes, takeaways, ideas, and lessons...Can't wait to share this one with you guys.

Maxwell is one of the GREATS when it comes to leadership training and his books helped me rise up from my low-paying overnight security job and become a full-time creator all these years later.

Now I’m in a position to share his books with more than 140,000 people on social media, and I couldn’t be more pleased! His words and ideas made a tremendous impact on me, and you’re bound to find a ton of great stuff in this upcoming breakdown.

I’ll let you know when it’s published, but the whole breakdown will be free for you here at The Competitive Advantage.

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.

Didn’t get a whole lot done today, actually. That whole list of things above might be a tad misleading in this case. It wasn’t an UN-productive day, I’ll just need to step it up though if I really want the most out of this month (which I obviously do!)

Tomorrow is going to be mostly YouTube and Newsletter work, as that’s where I’m placing the MAJORITY of my focus over the next few months. Really aiming to blow those up before the end of the year.

Paid ads are launching hopefully tomorrow, doing about $30/day or so, and that should do WONDERS for my audience/revenue growth in general. I’m really, really looking forward to running that experiment!

But hey, it’s 4:31AM here right now and I’m going to bed!

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
