Winners Still Lose

📚 Hey, good morning! Time to win.

I don’t think I’ve ever given you the impression that I never lose, or that I’m always scoring these huge wins all the time.

I’m pretty open about the fact that not everything in life goes my way, and you shouldn’t expect everything to go swimmingly in yours either.

The truth is that it’s always a mix of the good and the bad.

This month has been one of the most profitable months in the history of my business - with new clients wanting to work with me one on one, new authors paying me to help market their books, my new private mastermind group on Skool…

Not to mention all my other income streams.

I can break those all down in the future if you’re interested.

But today I got 15 likes on an Instagram post (with 100,000 followers), my inbox is fucking overflowing, I’m up wayyy too late tonight and haven’t been able to nail down my sleep at all these past few weeks, I haven’t been able to be consistent with my YouTube upload schedule, I haven’t done this and that and the other thing…

I’m dropping more balls than…

Than…

Okay so it’s late and I can’t think of a sports team or professional athlete who drops a lot of balls, but that’s me.

The main thing I want to get across though is that nobody wins all the time, and even though I’m winning in certain AREAS of my life, it’s still going to take a lot of work to get to where I want to be.

That’s probably true for you as well, and I think there’s more of “us” than there are of “them” in this respect.

Winners still lose, but we never stop trying to win. Trying our absolute BEST to win. That’s what makes us winners.

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…

Definitely not as productive as yesterday, and I took some hits today for sure, but I DID move forward in a meaningful way. I did SOMETHING to bring the vision I have for my life and business into reality, and for that I’m proud of myself.

Until next time…happy reading!

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
