📚 Hey, let’s talk about winning.
I’ve got two things for you today, actually. Both of which are going to help you out tremendously when it comes to achieving goals faster and with greater force.
The first is some of the best advice I’ve ever received on how to reach success as fast as possible - whatever that looks like for you.
It comes from Brandon Dawson, whose book, Nine-Figure Mindset, is a fantastic business book that I recommend all the time.
Brandon sold his company for $151,000,000 (and then built a SECOND company to a half-billion-dollar valuation), and in this video right here you’ll find his best advice for drastically shortcutting your route to success.
Second…
I'll go more in-depth on this soon enough, but lately I've been working on connecting the immediate task I'm working on with the eventual outcome I'm headed for, NO MATTER HOW DISCONNECTED THEY SEEM IN TIME AND SPACE. What do I mean by this?
I mean that so often, we can't FEEL the actual connection between what we're doing now and the future state that we're likely to experience by doing it. Something finds its way onto our to-do list, but we avoid it because we can't FEEL its connection to the realization of our ultimate goal.
I've been working to overcome this in myself, and the results have been sensational so far.
Crazy focus, elevated ambition and productivity - which makes sense, because I live as though EVERYTHING I DO MATTERS. Ridiculous how big a difference that makes!
Again, I'll go more in-depth on this later, but for now, whatever you're avoiding or procrastinating on currently...try and FEEL and SENSE its connection to the accomplishment of your ultimate goal.
Maybe you're trying to get to 10,000 followers, and you're posting consistently every day (an excellent start). It doesn't always feel as though there's a direction connection between answering that DM, or spending an extra few minutes cleaning up your ideas before you hit "Publish," but when you CONNECT that small, seemingly insignificant actions with your desired future, the motivation you'll feel to perform them will increase DRAMATICALLY.
At least it's been working exceptionally well for me!!

I got some crazy news today - I’m going to be featured in a PUBLISHED BOOK!! Isn’t that WILD?? I’ve been in the Acknowledgements section of one other book before, but never in the ACTUAL TEXT! Wicked cool. I’m not sure if I can say any more just yet, but I’ll definitely let you know which book when it comes out. Or nearer to the release date.
Other than that, today was relatively uneventful. Closed some deals, made some money, gained some followers. All regular occurrences for me now that I have my systems up and firing (the same system I teach students inside Creator Launch Academy).
And tomorrow? Tomorrow we do it all again! With joy, with heart, and with EXCELLENCE!
All the best,
