Super-Successful People Expect Successful Results

📚 Hey, good morning! Time to win.

If you're not expecting to WIN today - to score VICTORIES on the field of battle - you may as well just roll over and go back to sleep.

That’s the kind of mood I’m in right now - Dan Kennedy and Makaveli Motivation got me all fired up.

Before I get ahead of myself though, I’ve got another podcast guest to tell you about.

I’ve got Joshua Lisec showing up tomorrow to record an episode of The Competitive Advantage Podcast and he’s the author of one of the better business books I’ve read this year:

So Good They Call You a Fake

It’s about commanding attention - even negative attention - and catapulting yourself to expert status in your field by writing a book.

Not just writing a book, but designing a powerful SYSTEM laid out in your book that makes potential clients fall all over themselves to work with you.

Well, SOME people will fall all over themselves to work with you.

Other people are going to look at your results and the testimonials that people write about you and claim that it CAN’T be real.

Your results are TOO astonishing - they’ve gotta be fake. That’s what you’re going for. All publicity is good publicity, but the best publicity, says Joshua, is absolute hatred.

This book - like most books - is not for everybody, but I really enjoyed it, and I’m excited to record the episode with him tomorrow.

It’ll go live first within my private mastermind/coaching community on Skool, also called The Competitive Advantage, and it’ll be exclusive for Members for about a week. Then I’ll share it on YouTube for the wider public.

And now…

On to Dan Kennedy.

I am BINGING Dan’s books these days, and I probably have well over 100+ pages of notes on all 9 of his books that I’ve read so far.

One of my absolute favorites is this one, No B.S. Time Management for Entrepreneurs, which could EASILY save you 15+ hours or more per week, just by implementing a few of the strategies he lays out.

I’ve actually written a complete breakdown of that book with all the key ideas, takeaways and more, all for free that you can read right now.

But today I was reading No B.S. Sales Success in the New Economy (which I’ve almost finished) and have just been scrambling to transfer all the big ideas and brilliant tactics into my notes so that I can use them later.

Something that stuck out today was when he wrote: “Super-successful salespeople expect successful results.”

How could we think otherwise?!

OF COURSE we expect to win. And win BIG.

If I didn’t expect to fucking DOMINATE the day I wouldn’t even bother to get out of bed.

I EXPECT to win, and so it makes it more likely that I take the actions necessary TO win. That’s how that works.

If you expect to be successful, you’ll ACT in such a way that makes your success more likely.

And conversely, if you expect to LOSE, you’ll act in such a way that you’re likely to fucking blow it.

You’ll half-ass it, not try your best, not persevere long enough.

All because you didn’t expect to win in the first place.

Now, does expecting to win GUARANTEE that you’re going to win?

Of course not. But you’re stacking the probabilities in your FAVOR, and that can make all the difference.

As always, at the bottom of this email I’ll lay out everything I did today to move closer to my Ultimate Vision. This is to keep me accountable and to show you that I’m working as hard as I’m encouraging you to work…

Organized My Workflow for Tomorrow

GREAT day today, one that got me extremely motivated and fire up for the future. I’m on the right track, the people ASSOCIATED with me are winning, I’ve got all these crazy opportunities coming my way and lined up for later this year…

I mean, I’m also working flat-out, like 12-14 hours a day, including reading books, but I LOVE IT. I’m obsessed.

Obviously I’ll take a day off SOMETIME, but I don’t need to yet. There’s too much growth right in front of me, too much money to be made, too many fascinating people to connect with. I’ll literally never be bored doing what I’m doing.

I want EVERYBODY to have that same kind of freedom and fulfillment. 

But hey, I’ve gone on long enough. Time for me to get some sleep. I gotta get up and do this all over again tomorrow! See ya then!

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
