For the last few weeks, I've been playing 1-2 games of 10 minute online chess after my wife and kids go to bed. One of my goals is to get good at the game, and well... I'm definitely not there yet. After 163 10 minute games over the last 7 years... I went from the initial and default 1,000 ELO rating down to 100. Then I decided to learn some basics and climb my way out of the absolute chaos of beginner online chess. Just imagine 2 people getting together to play basketball for the first...

I've spent the majority of my adult life in sales, and whether I was selling printers, cars, cell phones, flooring, auto repair, or what I'm doing now... It's all a numbers game. Always has been. The world's greatest closer won't make much money if there aren't many people to talk to. A mediocre sales person will make more money if they have enough conversations and are even slightly interested in getting better over time. So if you think about it... The game of sales is really a game of...

Every email based business needs 4 things: A landing page funnel A monetization method An email writing framework A growth strategy The cool part about this is you only have to set up the first two once, then you can focus on growing your list, sending emails, and serving customers. For example, when I was running my fitness business, I set up an admittedly less-than-ideal landing page funnel, created a program and Micro Coaching offer, then got to work. I sent daily emails, posted those...

I didn't get into online business to run a big team, have a bunch of overhead, and end up working more hours than my day job. I got into online business because systems exist that allow you to "work more hours" than any human is able to work. Here's what I mean: In my day job as a sales consultant for a premium health-adjacent product, every sale I make requires: Lead generation to start conversations People who actually show up to appointments A well executed product demonstration Securing...

Yesterday morning, I finally decided to get back on YouTube... And the crowd went wild! Just... not for my video. I'm not surprised because it's been over 3 months since my last video and the topic has slightly changed. Oh and the topic, title, and thumbnail were also just not that cool for the YouTube market. Long story long, I did everything wrong and got the expected result. Despite that, we're back at it again this morning. Didn't even finish my first cup of black coffee and I'm shouting...

Now that I've been back to work for a couple weeks, life is busy especially with my wife, 3 kids, 2 dogs, and 3 cats. But I'm still able to build every day. Here's how: The biggest reason is I only have 3 main, non-negotiable tasks per day: Send an email with a link to a product Post content to grow my email list Reply to comments on my posts On a really busy day, I could do all of this in an hour or two max and be done, depending on how much content I want to post and how many comments I get...

I've been trying to make buying a house make sense since 2022... And I have yet to figure it out. When we lived in New Hampshire, the homes within a reasonable commute to my job at the time were in the $500-600k range to start. I did quite alright as a gym manager after commission, but didn't make that much. Then we moved to the Midwest in 2023 and homes are much more affordable. That's cool and all, but my credit score was anything but cool after moving and various job gaps, so I spent the...

Gonna run a weird experiment in the background for the rest of the year. If it works, then it might come to the foreground at any time. Here's the deal: Last year, I started a Skool group and put a lot of effort into it which didn't lead to much. It wasn't a Skool issue, it was a marketing issue. The whole thing didn't make sense at first glance, and that's a big issue. Even then, it grew to over 52 free members. But there was a big problem... Bots, spammers, and inactive members. So the real...

My day job is primarily selling expensive products compared to the other options out there. But as long as I do one thing right, sales become so much easier. That one thing? Not telling them some script I'm supposed to follow... It's literally showing them how the product solves their problem. Now I give a great demonstration to every customer that walks through the door, no matter the severity of the issue they want resolved... But the difference between people who spend $0 with me and the...
