It seems like every couple of years my entire life/biz gets completely rekt in hilarious ways.
In 2018 I lost all my money in crypto.
Got fucked over by a major client.
Business imploded.
Almost went bankrupt from some tax BS.
Went from my first five-figure month back to $500 the next month.
2020 I was supposed to move to America.
Three days before my flight, the borders got shut down because of Covid.
I was essentially homeless.
Got fucked over by a landlord.
Had to live in holiday homes and move four times that year just to keep a roof over my head.
2023 I moved to America after three years of uncertainty.
After three months in the US, the company that sponsored my VISA fired me for reasons outside of my control...
Then the entire company got shut down for illegal shennanigans...
Then the entire industry I'm in imploded.
I ended up unemployed with 60 days to figure out a new gig before I'd be deported.
You can't make this shit up.
These were all insanely stressful times.
It seemed like the hits would never stop coming.
Like you're cursed and everything you touch crumbles to ashes.
But each of those down periods were followed by big UPs where I hit new highs.
2019 I broke into the US market and ended up working for the top dog in my industry.
2021 I wrote my biggest promo ever ($4.3M)
2024 I more than doubled my networth
What's the lesson in all of this?
I guess you gotta learn how to roll with the punches.
When hellfire starts raining down on you, that's when you find out how bad you really want it.
@TrafficBrokerX Good afternoon from Yuropistan, I'm also starting my workday as we speak. Dont wanna get started too early, it could make other people look bad and its bad for the environment.
With where AI is at now, I could easily write 5 high quality VSLs per day (each between 6k-11k words), or 20+ eCom landers, or 20+ Advertorials. Used to take me a week to write a single VSL and I was considered freakishly fast. People still operating on legacy timelines are f’d.
Thats nuts.
I went from 2-3 finpub promos a year to 10 full webinars this year.
And I thought I was hot shit.
Still doing too much grunt work, I'll hire a junior and pump out 2-3 webinars a month.
Could never figure out how to get AI To write actual good copy though. Still write most of it by hand.
@MurrayHillGuy1 I think most "baddies" would look like mids if you wipe the makeup off.
Its crazy how much advertising fraud women commit on a daily basis.
They cant keep getting away with it!
@basedbrickpush1 Travel is incredibly gay and overrated.
Ive lived on three continents and would be happy if i never have to get on an airplane ever again.
