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.

Wanna know what the biggest sign of a lack of strategy is? It’s indecision. If you lack any kind of strategy, everything can feel like it's the right move. You end up getting caught with the whole analysis paralysis thing where... ... More ads could help.... More content could help.... A new offer could help.... A new channel could help. So nothing gets ruled out. Everything gets added to a "to-do" list and everyone starts feeling overwhelmed, not really knowing where to start. That’s when...

Picture this... You've identified the problem in your business. Where things break down and money is being lost. You analyse, design the fix, and set everyone on the path to implementing that fix. Time to pop the champaign right? Nope. After you've built that awesome fix, you see... nothing. No improvements, no meaningful changes, no new sales. And you're back to square one. It's a problem I see a lot. People fixing the symptom, but completely missing the cause. here's what I mean. I worked...

If we were to sit down and go through all the things I've done right in my career, and then all the things I've done wrong... ... the time split would be like a 10/90 split. I've failed so much more than succeeded over the years. They're good teaching moments. But, one of the more dangerous things in business isn’t choosing the wrong tactic. It’s committing to it. Once you’ve got buy-in from yourself or your team, you want it to work. So you keep pushing it longer than you should. Case in...
