Another bloody paradox


Feels like every week I come across another principle, paradox, or rule for successful biz growth.

You think I'd be sick of them, but honestly - I love 'em.

They're often annoyingly accurate and can be applied in some way to help with growth.

The latest one I came across?

Solomon’s Paradox.

Here’s the quick version:

It’s the tendency to give wise advice to others while failing to take your own.

Named after King Solomon—who was smart enough to be known for his wisdom, but still made a mess of his own life.

If you tell me this doesn't apply to you, I'll know you for a liar.

Over the years I've worked with countless smart entrperneurs and biz owners.

People at the top of their game and who really understand their offer, market, and systems.

And yet, they're almost all missing some sort of obvious win that's right in front of them.

An obvious win they'd pick out in a second if it was someone else's biz.

Happens to me too.

I recently paid for a consult. And the advice I got?

It was exactly what I would’ve told someone else if they’d come to me with the same problem.

Word for word.

I just couldn’t see it—because I was too close to it.

Solomon’s Paradox in action.

And if you’re stuck, plateauing, or just feel like things should be working better than they are…

You’ve probably got a few easy wins sitting right under your nose.

You just can’t see them.

The fix? Get a second set of eyes.

Ideally, someone with actual experience solving that exact kind of problem and not your nephew who's "a really smart kid" though...

That’s what my Growth Reviews are for.

They help you spot the hidden leverage you’re missing—so you can fix what’s broken and scale what’s working.

If you want the details, just hit reply with the words “Growth Model” and I’ll send everything over.

How important is design for you? As in, you see two ads... One is well designed The other is a basic Canva template ... which one do you click on? And when you get to the sales page, do you prefer... A basic design that doesn't have that high-end veneer Something that looks swish and has obviously had a pro make sure it's pixel-perfect Which one of these approaches will build more trust with you? It's a genuine question I have and I'd love it if you hit reply to let me know. Why am I asking?...

This is it. Write Yourself Rich closes tonight at 10pm Eastern. If you’ve been sitting on the fence, thinking, “I’ll do it next round…” I dunno if there will be a "next round" of this. Which means... No more live coaching.No more access.No more chance to work with Chris directly for 8 weeks. After tonight, the doors shut and you’re back to figuring it out on your own, the same complexity, same grind, same guesswork. Here’s what you’re missing if you don’t join... A simple, proven system that...

There’s probably way too many courses out there promising to “fix your bizniz.” You’ve probably bought a few (I know I have). But most of them give you videos and templates… and then leave you to figure it all out on your own. Chris's Write Yourself Rich ain't that. When you join Write Yourself Rich, you will get the usual DIY course elements we all know. The kind of stuff you can consume in your own time to understand WHY something works. Which is still pretty damn useful. But honestly,...
