Things AI still can't do for your business:
• Make the right hire
• Handle a difficult client conversation
• Know when to pivot and when to push
• Build genuine trust with your audience
• Make high-stakes decisions under pressure
• Spot a bad deal
• Lead a team through a hard season
That's still on you.
Things that'll actually grow your business:
• Getting in rooms with people doing bigger numbers
• Investing in yourself before you feel ready
• Saying no to opportunities that distract you
• Hiring people who believe in what you are building
• Making a Good Offer
• Learning to tolerate more stress
• Going outside when your head is full
• Sleeping well and eating clean for better decisions
• Building systems so the business runs without you in every conversation
• Knowing what you actually want so you stop chasing the wrong thing
I learned all of this from years of doing the work.
Things I actually enjoy as an entrepreneur instead of scrolling brain rot content:
- Eating natural foods
- Walking daily
- Going to the gym
- Sitting in the sauna
- Journaling
- Cycling to the coffee shop
- Going to the beach with my dog
- Meditating
- Reading good books
These things make me feel good and keep my mind sharp for business operations and decisions
What are the things you enjoy off screen?
If this were my last $1 in ad spend
Here's exactly what I would do.
Visual
- Make the setting unique and well thought out
- Everything in the frame has to say something subconsciously
Verbal
- Get attention with the hook in the first 5 seconds
- What you say in those first few seconds is 98% success
Emotional
- Know exactly who you are selling to
- The creative and the setting should feel like their life
Get all three and it works every single time.
Nearly 590,000 people paid $59 million in deposits for the Trump gold phone, yet a year later not a single device has shipped and the launch date has disappeared from the website, per YF
Trump Mobile’s updated terms reportedly now state deposits do not guarantee a phone will ever be produced or made available for sale.
Working hard doesn't mean more success
It'll keep you stuck if you have no direction
Be clear on what moves the needle for you
Do it everyday
It'll compound into massive success with time
People don't fail because of a lack of information
They fail because they keep learning information without taking action
Execution is the key to success 🔑
Don't make the mistake I made in business.
At 21, I had a decent amount of money saved up
I locked it away and was too scared to spend it
Meanwhile, I was getting invited to masterminds
I was getting access to people doing better than me
I said no every time
Here is what I missed out on
Months of figuring out alone what I could have learned in a room in one weekend
Do not hold back on your money out of fear.
Invest in people above your level.
That is the fastest path forward.
One event changed the trajectory of my life...
I was 4 years into my business
Making good money
But I had a scarcity mindset around spending on myself
Every dollar I made went into a vault
Nobody was touching it
Not even me
Then I heard about one event
It was uncomfortable to spend the money
I bought the ticket anyway
Sat in that room
The things I heard in that room I had never heard anywhere else
I felt like I had been living under a rock
That was the mental shift for me
Every time I invested in myself after that my business grew faster
Your money sitting in an account is not safety.
It is fuel.
