This makes the tattoo drip off my neck
|
There are a lot of things that irritate me:
But above all, this irritates me the most: Everyone and their mother is posting “predictions,” pretending they’re smart enough to tell you the future. HINT: They can’t. Think about it… Ever since the dawn of time, humans have been awful at predicting the future. Need an example? Let’s start with my favorite prediction of all time, the automobile vs. the horse. A Michigan Savings Bank president advised against investing in Ford in 1903, calling the car a “fad.” We see how that went. Or take a look at Y2K. We all know how that went. Anyway… The problem with these predictions in 2026 is that everyone online wants to tell you what the future holds because it gets views. Especially with all the AI hoopla. The same people who touted “RIP writers” 3 years ago (by the way, I know a lot of writers who are thriving) are now saying: “RIP Newsletters” This makes me so irritated my tattoo drips off my neck. But I’m grateful for this. Because I get to spend my evenings bookmarking all these posts so I can defecate on these claims in the future (ironic, eh?). My point is this: Don’t let the fear predictions get to you. Nobody has a freaking clue what will happen. That’s what makes business and life great. Now here’s where I might sound like a hypocrite (but trust me, this will make you feel a whole lot better after reading this email). If you and your business have been able to survive and adapt so far with all this crazy tech hoopla… …chances are you’ll be able to survive and adapt in the future. Am I right? OF COURSE. Haha, jokes aside, just keep doing what makes successful entrepreneurs successful.

I have a client who I’m doing email and funnel launches for to promote their infoproducts. This client has had their first back-to-back six-figure months, and it makes me feel all mooshy gooshy inside to help them achieve this. But before working together, this client had everything they needed: A big, engaged list 20+ products and offers A massive social media audience However, they were struggling to buck the feast-or-famine cycle of the infoproduct launch model. So what changed? Simple....
Across both of my businesses, in the last 30 days, I’ve generated $53k in revenue. Now let me be clear... I have a business partner, employees etc, and I'm aware there are a lot more people making a lot more money than this. So if you think this is a flex it's not. But what's interesting is that this is recurring revenue, not some launch cycle where you cash in and stay broke for the next 3 months. However... What’s more interesting is the rate of growth the cold email agency is seeing:...
If you’ve got more qualified sales calls than you can handle, you can skip this one. But if you’re staring at the ceiling wondering where the next lead will come from… Let me show you what we’re doing. You see, most business owners stare at the ceiling fan instead of getting a good night’s rest… Wondering where their next lead will come from. Heck, that used to be me for years. But now I’ve found myself overwhelmed with qualified calls to the point that I’ve had to build a small team to...
