I AM SPEED


I'm on a huge "get shit done" kick at the minute.

I've found that the faster I do things - even if I don't do them perfectly (often especially if I don't take too long) - the better results I get.

For example, a few years back I had a mate ask me repeatedly to re-do her resumé.

At the same time I had a client delay a project by a week despite me having booked out 2 days to do the work.

Know what I did with those 2 days?

I created a guide for my friend explaining how I approached Resumés as a copywriter which I then formatted as a book.

The book was roughly ~8000 words.

While I had a designer do the cover, I set up an email sequence as a bonus which was all about cover letters. I linked the book to the sales page and set it all live on Amazon.

I launched the book the following week and built a small list of a few hundred job seekers in the first month.

I wish I would have known what I now now as I could have properly monetised it.

Anyway.

2 lessons from this.

  1. Getting shit done quickly is more than half of the success battle.
  2. Books are a great way to grow your business and list with high-intent, relevant audiences.

I'm working on something to help you with the former.

For the latter, I'm jumping on a call with book creator extraordinaire Peter Mage next week who's gonna run us through his system for quickly creating books that grow businesses.

This is a system Peter uses to craft high-converting books for big influencers. Some of his books have been the first offer in 6-figure launches so he knows his shit.

If this ain't your bag, no worries.

But what should definitely be your bag is getting stuff done ASAP. Whatever you've been putting off for another day, is something you should be doing now.

I’m starting the outreach for a new business venture today. Most people at this stage do the 'tactical' thing... They buy a list Hire a virtual assistant to spam LinkedIn asking for a call or promoting the offer And hope for a 1% reply rate. A huge waste of capital and time. With the new venture, I've spent the last week building out the architecture behind the offer. I’ve been mapping the 'Thread' that connects the first touchpoint to the final contract. Most businesses, even those doing...

I’m curious... What AI are you actually using? Or are you just "collecting" subscriptions? We’ve been debating this in GM+ lately because, frankly, the shine has worn off OpenAI for me. To give you some context, I’ve been an OpenAI power user since the start. But the 5.2 release? It’s woeful. I spend more time arguing with the "Custom GPTs" than I do getting actual work done. I guess they told it to stop being so sycophantic, now it's like a petulant little kid who doesn't like when you tell...

Yo! Quick one today. Curious about the one thing you’re stuck on right now when it comes to growth? Not tactics like running an ad, but the actual problem that’s slowing things down. I’m doing a bit of free thinking this week and replying personally. If you’re clear, just reply and tell me... ... what you’re trying to scale... what’s not working... what you’ve already tried... what you want to achieve No pitch on the back end of this. This just helps me see patterns and build the right stuff....
