My slice is ugly (and that’s the point)


Pops and I have standing date every Friday morning.

The driving range.

Here's a shot of me hacking away...

And yes, I have a nasty slice.

If you know anything about golf...the picture shows why.

My club face is open.

And I'm swinging like I'm mad at the ball like it stole something from me.

Every shot starts right...then peels hard right.

Here's the funny part...

I still go and hit balls. Probably 50 - 75 each time. I still show up.

I'd like to believe I got a bit better from last Friday.

Being bad feels uncomfortable.

At the range. In life. Business. Whatever.

People don’t fail because they lack information. They fail because they refuse to look cringe long enough to get good.

You're gonna feel cringe.

You're gonna fear the judgment form strangers online.

Too many wait for the perfect swing, perfect offer or perfect post.

So most never take the shot. Sad to see.

Meanwhile, the one's earning the digital dollars...

They're out there slicing (or hooking) the balls left and right.

Adjusting their grip, stance, speed, eyes, and swining again and again.

That mindset shift is the entire reason I'm working on my next offer: The 3 Hour Creator.

It ain't about hustling harder, or sticking more tactics.

It’s about doing less, on purpose…and building something that actually fits real life.

I’m releasing it next week.

I’ll share more soon.

For now, just remember this...

You don't need a prettier swing, you need more swings.

YOU GOT THIS 🙌

In your corner,

I started writing the 3 Hour Creator in July. Spent 3-4 weeks on it. Never finished it (I'm a starter, not a finisher...can anyone relate?!) Revisited the idea in November. Wrote 5 variations. Wrote 5 different variations. Some are only a dozen pages. Some are full guides. None felt quite right. I had the idea to turn it into a Lovable app around Thanksgiving. Worked on that all December. Launched earlier this month. Got good feedback from some. Some needed more clarification/context on...

A creator I respect DM'd me earlier this afternoon. This guy made a million last year selling digital products. He doesn't sell anything priced over $47, which is impressive AF. All organic, too. Just simple offers that solve real problems. Here's the part of the DM that hit differently... He said he loves "how I carry myself." Not my funnel or tips & tricks. How I carry myself. That felt really good to read. Because most creators are trying to be someone else. Copying the viral videos, or...

I slid in her DMs last night... Do you ever run ads? If not, you should since you get great engagement on your stuff She said she's boosted a few posts in the past. She's a friend of mine who does well on Instagram (great engagement and sales). I suggested she set up a few custom audiences. Custom audience = An ad targeting option that lets you find your existing audiences (website visits, social media following/engagers, viewed videos, etc) This is what I suggested: Create an audience for...
