Yo!

I'm taking a little break from emailing from tomorrow thanks to Christmas.

If you're also celebrating, I hope you have a good one.

But, before I go, I wanted to ask a Q that's heled me analyse what I'm doing and, more importantly, what I will be doing in 2026.

That question is...

"Are you aiming high enough or thinking big enough?"

Cause I know I haven't.

2025 has been a hard year for so many people running businesses.

Sales are down.
Resistance is up.
Stress is higher than ever before.

And yet I'm speaking to a lot of people (and am guilty of this myself), who are working 12+ hour days with the goal of something like making $5k or $10k / month.

And don't get me wrong.

That's cool.

If you achieve that, you're probably more successful than most entrepreneurs out there.

But if you're putting in 12-hour days and you've managed to get something selling, you could be aiming so much higher.

I've re-adjusted my goals to be way, way bigger in 2026.

And I'd recommend you evaluate whether you want to achieve what you're aiming for, or if you should raise the goal a little.

I'll be sharing everything I am doing in 2026 within the GM+ Community, and helping others achieve bigger goals to.

​Whether or not you join us in there, I'd recommend looking back at 2025 and assessing...

  • What's worked
  • What hasn't
  • What you wanted to achieve
  • Whether that goal is really what you want

Speak soon and Merry Christmas.

Yo, Years back I put 6 months of effort into building what I thought was a killer offer. This thing was... Based on real world results I had and could prove Comprised of what I helped my clients do Tested and proven But after the build, I've never had anything that was as hard to promote. It was like rolling a boulder uphill. Everything was harder than it should have been. I was getting hit with... ... CTR on my promo emails so low I thought there was a tracking issue...

This week, I’ve talked a lot about offers. And if you’ve been paying attention, some of it might feel contradictory. ... On one hand, I’ve said the most powerful businesses aren’t reliant on you for delivery. ... On the other, I’ve said building something truly scalable from day one is expensive, risky, and unrealistic for most people. Both are true. Ideas like Zero to One, building something entirely new, can work. But they usually require serious capital, long runways, and a tolerance for...

Yesterday I talked about what a bad offer does to your business — and to you. Today, I want to flip that and talk about what insanely profitable offers actually have in common. Because they’re not clever. And they’re definitely not built around hustle. In fact, I'd argue that... Great offers don’t rely on you as the facilitator. If the results depend on your personal effort, time, or constant involvement, you’ll hit a ceiling fast. You can do well like that. I know guys pulling around 7-figs...
