Lowkey if you stopped watching YouTube and just studied V Shred's ad library specifically looking at the structure of the copy you'd prob do pretty well
Shelby Sapp charged 3,000 people $15,000 this weekend.
$15 million from a single event. And it worked because every person in that room knew exactly what they were buying.
They weren't buying information. Nobody pays $15,000 for information. Information is air. It's everywhere, it's free. If you wanted to, you could use Claude to transcribe all her TikTok content and learn it all for free.
They paid for everything around it. Live performers. Insane production. The people sitting next to them. The story they get to tell about being there. You cannot get any of that for free.
Shelby's brand attracts this. She's posted thousands of pieces of content that all looks, sounds, and feels like her. The organic audience is the stickiest and builds a cult following around her.
She's posted at least 3x per day for years now. Never missing a day.
The event sold out because the brand did the selling years before the tickets existed.
You can't get this sort of response running Meta ads lol. Organic is a MUST if you want to transcend the competition.
Becoming successful is really hard. Extremely uncertain. Taking the leap to actually try is terrifying.
It's no where as hard as struggling your entire life. No where near the terror of reaching old age to realize you wasted your years.
Try. Hard. You have nothing to lose.
being a broke "systems guy" has to be the funniest archetype of 2026
you're telling me you built 14 automations, a notion dashboard, a client portal, & an n8n workflow that pings your phone the moment somebody doesnt buy
zero clients. all pipes, no water
WTF are we automating 🚬
want to go from $1m-$10m a month?
map your business, org chart and literally everything on a miro board,
visualize it and see where you can fill the gaps to get you from $1m/m - $10m/m
no not "manifesting/ visualizing" literally map your whole business out, all your ad spend, funnels, pages, org chart.
Fucking everything and find the missing links, hire and scale
my wealthiest friends are absolutely ruthless about cutting negative people out of their lives. no warning, no conversation, no closure. one day you exist, the next day you don’t.
it’s almost like they’re allergic to them. broke is contagious and they refuse to catch it. honestly i respect the discipline. protect your energy, protect your mind space, and all of that.
anyway that’s how i found out we were no longer friends.
You can complain about the hand you were dealt.
Or you can figure out how to play it better than anyone at the table.
Both are a choice.
Only one of them moves you forward.
"A guy looked at my airplane the other day and said I wonder how many people I could have fed for the price of that airplane...
I replied I am not sure, it fed a lot of families at the Dassault factory where it was built. I’m sure it fed a bunch of families that rolled the aluminum at the Alcoa factory. It surely fed a lot of people at the Honeywell factory where the experts built the turbines. It fed a whole company for a few weeks when I had them build me a new interior. It feeds the families of the linemen that fuel it.
That’s the difference between capitalism and a welfare mentality. When you buy something, you put money in people's pockets, and give them dignity for their skills.
When you give someone something for nothing, you rob them of their dignity and self worth.
Capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value.
Socialism is taking your money against your will and shoving something down your throat that you never asked for."
My first week at Whop, the Head of Sales looked me dead in the eyes, handed me a ramp card and said:
"Your budget is $100k/month to close deals."
That one sentence literally shattered everything I believed about what "going the extra mile" meant.
I saw the top account executive flying people out same day, putting them in the most exclusive hotels and restaurants, and even spending thirty thousand dollars just to have a single meeting
I thought going the extra mile was a good follow-up email. A nice gift basket. Maybe a Zoom call on a Saturday or sending over some edible arrangements after an introduction.
Then I watched what actually closing big deals looks like. So I flew prospects out. Took same-hour flights for a single in person meeting.
I sent hundreds of random gifts like luxury chocolate, katanas, custom jerseys, even hand-delivered gifts instead of shipping them.
I even put one of my deals on a helicopter to meet me 30 mins after getting intro'd because that's what it took to get it signed (closed same week btw, $4.8m/y business).
Speed was the same story. The difference between the rep who wins and the rep who doesn't is how fast they execute.
Text any top Whop rep right now and you'll hear back in 30 seconds, from 10am-10pm.
Whop didn't become a billion-dollar company by luck.
They were willing to go absurdly far to make things happen, and once you've seen that up close, you can't unsee it.
It was an honor to work alongside those guys and to be pushed to a new level, and just one year in that environment has 10x'd my impact on my current employees, my current clients, and my current business
