I made $50,000 in a single month
As a 23yo dude travelling the world
Working from my laptop
The secrets?
1. Leveraging AI systems
2. Building the right team
3. The right mentor
I think we have all heard enough about leveraging AI & building teams by now, so in this tweet I wish to focus on the last one
Trust me when I say I'm the last guy to take a "course" or "mentorship"
My banner on X literally says "Beware Of The Gurus"
Because I truly believe most gurus online are full of crap, I wouldn't trust 99% of them with $2 of my own money
But last May I saw @thomaas tweet that he and @carl_pisano_ were re-opening their mentorship
And I decided to apply, why?
1. I've only heard good things about them from trusted sources in the YTA community
2. They are not loud with their advertising
Both green flags when buying a mentorship
So in June we started
At first things moved slowly, for June and July I pretty much stayed stuck
That frustrating $20,000 per month ceiling
Despite the lessons they were teaching me, I couldn't break through
But I kept at it, every single day
Trying new things, failing, asking them what I did wrong, and implementing the lessons they taught me
Then finally we hit a winning channel
So I quadrupled down
And in August I closed my first ever $50,000 month in revenue (75% profit margins)
So what's the lesson here?
Do you need a mentor to succeed?
Absolutely not. I never paid for a course or a mentorship before this one
But the right mentor, at the right time, can save you months or even years of trial and error
Anyways, have a good day champs, and beware of the gurus!
Took me a full year to realize the only real equation for success in business:
decent quality × insane volume.
Most people keep squeezing 5% more quality out of the product when they should be stress testing it at 10x the volume.
Volume gets you distribution, feedback, and eventually better quality anyway.
