We're WINNING This September

YOUTUBE 📚 THE READING LIFE 📚 PATREON

📚Hey, good evening!

Welcome back! I missed you :)

Okay, so I took some time off for my hernia surgery (I’m still not back at the gym yet), but I’m back with more issues of The Competitive Advantage and I’ve got a BIG September planned.

Seriously.

Next month, I’ll be posting a total of 1,200+ pieces of content across all my social media platforms - just going for it - and stepping up my ambitions to get more great books into the hands of book lovers all over the world.

1,200 posts!

Now, some of those will be repurposed for other platforms, which is a favorite strategy of the top creators, including yours truly.

So what I’ll do is take a Twitter thread and turn it into a Medium article, take the Medium article and use it as the basic script for a YouTube video, repost my Instagram reels as YouTube shorts, etc.

That includes my book breakdowns for the Stairway to Wisdom (I’m building a new sales page too, by the way, and aiming to reach 600 total members by the end of the month, up from 454 now).

There are also 337 members of The Competitive Advantage right now, and I’d like to get to 600 before the end of the month, but we’ll see.

So, hey, THANK YOU for being here from the start.

I appreciate the hell out of everyone who reads this newsletter and my aim each week is to keep coming at you with insanely valuable info and motivation to help you realize your biggest ambitions and your most cherished visions.

To that end…

The author of the book I want to tell you about today has an absolutely wild life story.

He’s from Iran originally, but when I think of the American Dream, I think of this guy.

So here he was, as a very young boy in Iran…his parents fled the country. Literally escaped with just the few possessions they had and set out for America.

One of his earliest memories is of the bridge they just crossed in order to escape getting demolished by government forces.

That could have been his last memory.

Alright, so he lands in America, grows into a young man, loves bodybuilding and working out - he wasn’t much of a reader, but he got into the army, finds some discipline, and realizes that he wants to do more with his life.

But he’s still partying all the time, drinking, doing all the stuff young people normally do. And that’s cool. Honestly.

Still, no one really thought he’d amount to much. Including him.

Then, he starts reading books.

A lot of books. Changes his life through reading (just like this other guy you know!) and starts his own insurance company. Grows it nationwide, scales across the country, and has sales teams working 24/7 making him money, and growing his business.

Then he starts a YouTube channel…grows it to millions of subscribers in just a few years by sharing his business advice and book recommendations.

Fast forward, and he’s written two books, has a wildly popular podcast, interviews all these impressive, successful people…ends up buying a Ferrari worth $1,000,000…

I’m talking about Patrick Bet-David, who I like to think of as the Iranian Jordan Peterson, and his book is called Your Next Five Moves. 

It’s one of the best leadership books I’ve ever read and it came out of nowhere to become a book that now I recommend all the time.

In fact, I thought so highly of this book that I wrote a complete breakdown of Your Next Five Moves for the Stairway to Wisdom, snippets of which I’ll share with you here in this email.

Here are a few of my favorite quotes from the book:

The breakdown itself is about 8,700 words, covering all the Key Ideas, Book Notes, Action Steps, and more.

It’s also free, by the way.

It’ll only take you about 34 minutes to read the whole thing, and in it, you’ll learn how to inhabit a future reality in your mind that’s so compelling it forces people to follow you there, how to become an effective decision-maker at the highest possible level, how to think and strategize several moves ahead, and more.

He’s also got another, shorter book called Doing the Impossible that I’ve also shared with the Stairway to Wisdom, but Patrick Bet-David is an entrepreneur to watch for sure.

But alright, that’s enough for today.

On September 1st, I’ll be back with another issue of The Competitive Advantage, this time breaking down my massive goals for September and how I intend to achieve them.

And, obviously, there’s plenty in there that will help you achieve YOUR goals too.

Because it’s true, you can get anything you want in life as long as you help enough other people get what they want. 

We rise or fall together.

All the best,

Matt Karamazov

P.S. I’m taking on a few new coaching clients next month, and I’ll let you know soon how you can book a call with me. You’ve struggled to find a way forward by yourself for long enough. It’s time to start winning. Working with a mentor can help make it happen.
