If you're a dude wanting to "make it"
If you feel stuck
Ask yourself
-Have I sacrificed everything I possibly can
-Do I put in 12 hours daily
-Am I doing many things VS just this 1 thing
-Do I train for this like an athlete
Why: I guarantee if you audit your day to day you will find out why you're truly stuck. You're not REALLY trying.
So many times in my life I got stuck moving up the ladder of success (still do, I'm trend towards being an F-up).
Every time I run this audit and I find
-I'm spending 2-3 hours a day with TV/Games/Social media/phone.
-I'm not optimizing my diet/health for peak creativity
-I'm doing 3-4 different things and splitting my focus
-I'm simply not putting the time in.
-I'm not actually taking real risk (the key to triggering all of this)
Every time.
I guara-an-fooking-tee that if you
-Sacrifice everything except family (for a time)
-Give up ALL hobbies/time sinks besides reading
-Clock 10-12 REAL hours a day
-Stop drinking, smoking and eating crap
No matter how dumb and disadvantaged you are...You will win.
The hack to all of this is to actually take big financial risk that will not kill you, BUT put enough pressure on you that you don't have an option to feck about.
It's not a luck thing. It's not a you thing.
It's a focus, quality and volume thing.
Isolate your focus by cutting everything
Optimize the quality by fixing your fecked brain
Increase the volume
You will become a millionaire. Even if you're a dumb shit inbred mouth breathing r-tard.
one of the biggest tragedies is that you will never know how truly loved you are. how your mom studied your hands and feet when you were a baby. the songs someone associates you with. the unspoken admiration from a stranger. the tears someone has shed for you. the process of someone putting a gift together for you someone from your past trying to find you on social media. the co worker who doesn't quit because of you, there is so much that happens behind the scenes.
The way to “get lucky” is by having your name in as many lotteries as possible
You need to get out more, be at more places, talk to more people, take more shots, take more risks.
You arent an unlucky person. Youre just not putting yourself on any possible winning slips by going from ur room to ur 9-5 and spending ur time scrolling
You need to place yourself under enough cliffs that you find a waterfall
Or you can be the luckiest man on earth one day and never know it .
people want you to do well, when you go on a date that person wants it to go well so they can stop dating. when you interview for a job they want it to go well so they can finally hire someone. people want to watch, read, hear and experience good things. we’re rooting for you
Throw away your whoop band, drink coffee at 8pm, pay for the $200 / month claude plan, book spontaneous trips, pursue your wildest ambitions, and attend mass each day at 8am
A different life awaits you
The easiest way to enjoy something more is by spending 30 minutes beforehand doing nothing. Scroll reels for half an hour and anything afterward will feel like you're withdrawing. Stare at a wall for half an hour and anything after will feel like a drug.
BIG NEWSSSSS
lol for real though, this is exciting.
tldr - I'm releasing a massive advertising/copywriting course to the world, for free.
It's called The ****** Button. I created it about ten years ago.
Back then, the concepts I taught in the course had produced about $30M in revenue for my business.
Since then, the same concepts have gone on to produce over $400M, across multiple markets.
So if you're selling anything online, there's probably at least ONE tip in it worth some decent money to you.
The course was everything I knew about how to write ads and VSLs. It's 42 modules, each 20 - 60 minutes long, and God knows how long it took me to create it.
I launched it, started selling it... then decided I did not want to be a make money guru. In retrospect, that was a great choice for me.
So... the ****** Button has been sitting on a Google Drive ever since.
Every now and then, I see a twitter thread asking "what are the best copywriting courses out there?" I haven't been through anything recent... I know that @StefanGeorgi and @mialovelyihgux6 are legit af and their courses are consistently in the lists. But I've always thought The ****** Button was damn good, and should be more widely shared.
Well, I STILL have no interest in being a an online guru. In fact, trying to charge for this course would be more of a distraction than it's worth, so... releasing it for free.
My sincere hope is that it a.) helps some people advance their skills / careers, b.) gets my name out to people who wouldn't have otherwise found me and c.) long-term / long-tail, it's a recruiting engine.
Launching on YouTube soon. Like + RT for the link.
(just kidding, please don't - I'll just post a link when it's all online). Starred out the full name bc a few vids are live already).
This sounds cringe as fuck but it genuinely has power to re-wire your emotional system
Every night, before you go to sleep - sit or lay down & imagine how you'd feel if you loved/accepted yourself fully, with ZERO lagging internal threads. Holistic, full, raging self-acceptance/love. How you would feel if you "totally made it", and were hyper-confident/fully-expressive, for no other reason than you're YOU.
Simulate how you'd feel if you met every one of your conditions for yourself to feel x way, they worked out perfectly, you did it, and now you're like "fuck yeah", and are experiencing it fully.
if you can find this 'emotional home', you're then able to create a space for it, and once created, you can then essentially just return on command. You can disregard your current 'not good enough' state, and temporarily operate in this simulated space, when you remember to do so
If you then want to add self-awareness into it, you can run this experiment and then ask yourself "now why do i feel like can't just exist like this, at every moment?" - and the conditional you've set for yourself will bubble up
and here's the mindfuck:
The exact conditional that comes up, such as "i can't feel like this because i haven't or don't have x", IS the block itself. You do not HAVE that exact thing, BECAUSE you've created lack for it, and have attached that lack TO your being.
It sounds backwards on paper. But when you let that lack statement (attached to your being) go, you are now free to move forward. The suppression was the block, in a strange 360-degree way.
If you don't have time, money or whatever excuse you use in order not to look into these tools, then just stretch once in the morning and once in the evening.
That's it.
It's free and can be done within 5 minutes (if you have time to be on socials, you have 5 minutes to stretch).
When animals in the wild experience a traumatic event, they pass through their freeze response by trembling.
In one study for example where mice were deliberately traumatized, half of the mice were allowed to tremor naturally after the trauma and the other half were prevented from trembling.
It was discovered that the mice that were not allowed to successfully go through their natural tremoring process had reduced resiliency to subsequent life-threatening experiences.
This brings us to TREs.
Trauma-releasing exercises (TREs) were designed to engage the primitive mammalian survival mechanism used to recover from a traumatic event.
The same tremors found in other mammalian species can also be easily evoked in the human species through a series of five simple exercises.
The exercises produce a slight fatigue in the major muscle groups of the legs and pelvis.
This is done by isolating the muscle groups and exercising them individually (tap in the pic).

replacing your dreaming addiction with a DOING addiction is the #1 way to fast-track success...
dreaming/thinking gives no measurable output, so focus on doing things that do
Apparently Elon fixed the algorithm yesterday and "OG Money Twitter" is back
So I'm starting a thread of the best business / marketing / AI tips I have learned over the past 12 months
Strap in:
If you want real financial leverage today you gotta stop thinking about building long term equity and start thinking about printing high velocity daily cash flow. Bro you can sit down with Claude Codex Apify and build some micro utility in a weekend that fixes a minor annoying B2C market inconsistency or inconvenience would not try to build a massive enterprise platform lol you build a single hyper focused feature price it at $49 or $99 bucks a month and at that price point it completely flies under the radar... it crosses this psychological threshold where corporate guys just drop it on a business card use it and eventually completely forget their cards are even on file. it becomes a permanent line item to them but pure predictability for you. you throw some targeted ads on top grab maybe 100 to 200 users hire a VA for 2 dollars an hour to field basic customer support through a custom Claude project and you are straight chilling making 10k a month in high margin MRR on the side. it completely destroys the operational headaches of running an agency consulting high ticket info or inventory heavy ecom. theres no brutal fulfillment loop no client meetings demanding your sanity and no physical supply chains. its pure digital leverage. when ur net worth is sub 1m and mostly locked up in a retirement account or some illiquid asset does absolutely nothing to change your daily reality but an extra 10k a month hitting your bank account in high margin cash flow changes EVERYTHING. it completely covers your lifestyle expenses on autopilot and buys your time back immediately. once your cash flow has secured your lifestyle and eliminated financial desperation that is when u have the luxury to start playing the long term wealth game. until then stop chasing net worth on paper and go build the cash printing press on top of the W2 $250k+ career vehicle
