I AM SPEED

Published over 1 year ago • 1 min read

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.

One last thing to think about before The Monthly Offer System closes. At the start of 2025, I created a plan for myself. Lofty goals, huge achievements, simple systems. This year hasn't been bad. But I haven't hit the kind of goals I wanted to. And a HUGE part of that is because I failed to assign the right systems to those goals. They were there, but the process to achieve them was not. I've got friends in the same position, and I know a bunch of customers and clients for whom the same is...

A few people have replied with similar questions for the Monthly Offer System, so I wanted to answer them properly in one place. Rather than selling harder, it’s probably more useful to just clear things up. Will this work if my list is small? Yes. And in many cases, it works better. This system isn’t about volume. It’s about activating buyers. A smaller list with multiple relevant offers usually outperforms a bigger list being pushed the same thing over and over. You don’t need tens of...

At this point, you’ve got a choice to make. You can keep doing what most people do. Waking up each month trying to figure out... ... what to sell... when to sell it... and whether your audience is even in the mood That's the luck based approach so many people are using - and failing to see results with. You're hoping for that perfect storm of things that are outside of your control.... Hoping you hit your prospects at just the right time. Hoping they have enough money to pay for your offer....
