Playing it safe...

Published 12 months ago • 1 min read

“We are kept from our goal not by obstacles but by a clear path to a lesser goal.”

This quote is probably from some great thinker, but I know of it through a subscriber who responded to yesterday's email.

They sent me their thoughts and questions around staying the course and building towards one big thing instead of pursuing multiple smaller (and often safer) bets.

We ended on the thought that a lot of the time, it's all about belief.

Believing in what you're working on enough to feel confident saying no to distractions that might look good, but ultimately don't serve your end goal and desire.

He then hit me with that quote which I think sums up most people's issue (my own included) perfectly.

We all tend to settle for the easy to achieve goals, when we're capable of so much more.

The issue is not in our ability, but in actually planning out a route to those bigger goals, and believing in ourselves to the point that we actually - really - pursue them.

So, here's my question to you.

2025 is just a few days away.

You should now be taking stock of what you achieved in 2024 and mapping out what you want to achieve in 2025.

I want to know if you're...

...Setting goals that excite (and maybe scare) you...

... or settling for smaller goals you're comfortable achieving?

Are you...

... Pushing yourself to new levels in 2025 and working towards that next big milestone...

... or planning to simply maintain the staus quo of your life?

I dunno about you, but I'm planning out what could be my best year ever in 2025.

​I've been working with the people in GM+ to build a simple sheet to help keep us all motivated, aligned, and achieving in 2025.

And I wanted to extend the invitation to join us in planning our best ever years to you.

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....

One thing that’s worth clearing up. The idea of using multiple low-ticket offers to activate buyers isn’t new. And it’s not something I invented with the Monthly Offer System. It’s just how businesses that care about predictable revenue actually operate. If you look at the companies that sell a lot, consistently, you’ll see the same structure show up again and again. Years back I did a breakdown of a billion dollar newsletter brand, The Agora. They don’t have one offer.They don’t have one...

The reason most people struggle to sell consistently isn’t effort. It’s that everything depends on them. ... They have to decide what to sell.... Figure out when to sell it.... Work out how to promote it....Then do it all again next month. When you're doing that from step 0 every month, it's exhausting. I'm tired even thinking about it. This "I have to do it all myself from scratch" appraoch doesn;t scale. It also explains why sales fall apart the moment you get busy, distracted, or tired....
