When 12 million eyes notice you 👀

This morning started like any other. Me sitting on the couch sipping my Pumpkin Spice coffee, as the kids were bickering getting ready for school. I opened up IG and saw it... A like on a Reel I posted last night. From a guy with 12 million followers. I get a DM from "him" an hour later. It turns out the DM was from his assistant, and it read this: I ain't joining the "influencer elite" I'm still just a Dad who woofs down 10 eggs/day, and coaches 10-year olds to kick the ball in the wrong net. Here's the thing... Opportunities like this don't just happen by chance, or luck. They happen after pumping out 1,000s of pieces of content. Even when no one is watching or cheering. Even when you're stuck in "200 view jail". Even when you question yourself 238x a time, "Am I just wasting my time?" That like? That DM? That podcast invite? It's proof that the work compounds. You get better with each piece of content. Your first 100 pieces will suck. Your next 100 will suck a little less. Your next 100 after that will suck less. And on and on it goes. So if you're questioning whether your effort matters....it does. Someone, somewhere, is paying attention. It only takes one person to provide that spark, that proof that what you're doing is working. Keep. Fucking. Going. YOU GOT THIS 🙌 In your corner,

I've been yapping this on Threads the last few days. I made this post this morning: The "Make More Offers" thing took awhile to "stick". Here's another example... I started talking about the “3 Hour Creator” identity back in May. People were confused at first...WTF?!?! But I kept yapping about it. I didn't let the low engagement bother me. Funny enough, it wasn't my first idea. I started with "Simple Creator". Didn't like it. Then I tested out "Chillaxed Creator". That wasn't it, either. "3...
It doesn't matter. The more I play the game... The more I realize how much things don't matter. I launched Threads OS™ today. I planned to launch it at 11:00 am. Well, I got in my head about dumb shit. I overanalyzed the sales page for far too long. Tweaking the copy. Deleting. Editing. Created a nice looking Canva graphic (I bought a template on Etsy, as I shouldn't be in Canva). The graphic looked good, but I felt it didn't look good enough. Back to writing out the sales page. Multiple...
A new Costco opened in Vegas on Thursday. It's 3.3 miles from the house. I is excited, because I can buy a garbage can size of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Anywhoo... Costco pulls in a $460.000 per minute. And their "secret" isn't 47 different flavors of Ranch dressing. or 28 different brands of olive oil. It's the exact opposite. Next time you go through Costco, pay attention to this. Here's what you'll notice... They have 1-2 options on Ranch dressing 1-2 options of olive oil. 1-2 options of dog...
