The most valuable skill in biz (bar none)


Leverage and trust.

These are the two big lever pulls for growth in 2025.

And there’s one channel that pulls both better than anything else: email.

(If you want to learn how to pull those levers harder than any of your competition, go learn from one of the best in the game - Chris Orzechowski).

Let's break it down.

First of all, trust.

We're in a trust recession. Sales are harder, resistance is higher, competition is fiercer.

You've got to earn trust fast and keep it.

Social can’t do that anymore, it’s too noisy and too unpredictable.

Email’s the only channel where you own the relationship and can build trust in multiple ways:

  • Build it directly through your daily messages.
  • Use it to show proof, share authority, and deliver insights.
  • Drive traffic to trust assets like blogs, case studies, or YouTube videos.
  • Even boost social reach, a simple “go read this post” email can game the algo and flood your post with engagement helping you reach a wider audience

Most folk are too myopic in their view of email. They view it only as a way to build trust within the email.

When really, it can shape traffic to other assets to supercharge trust faster than anyone else in the game.

But what about leverage?

It takes the same amount of time to craft an email for 10 people as it does for 10,000.

Once you get good at email, you can basically bang out a message like this one in about 10 minutes.

So, as your email list grows, you end up spending the same amount of time to...

  • Build trust with a larger audience
  • See more sales opportunities with no extra effort
  • Watch your revenue grow despite putting in the exact same amount of effort

So if you're fed up of putting more and more time into social platforms for diminishing returns...

... and you want to learn how to grow and monetise a list so you can get better results form the same effort, you're gonna want to check this out.

My mate Chris Orzechowski has just opened the doors to his program "Write Yourself Rich".

It's the exact system he's used to grow a 7-figure business through daily emails.

And it's not to be missed.

How important is design for you? As in, you see two ads... One is well designed The other is a basic Canva template ... which one do you click on? And when you get to the sales page, do you prefer... A basic design that doesn't have that high-end veneer Something that looks swish and has obviously had a pro make sure it's pixel-perfect Which one of these approaches will build more trust with you? It's a genuine question I have and I'd love it if you hit reply to let me know. Why am I asking?...

This is it. Write Yourself Rich closes tonight at 10pm Eastern. If you’ve been sitting on the fence, thinking, “I’ll do it next round…” I dunno if there will be a "next round" of this. Which means... No more live coaching.No more access.No more chance to work with Chris directly for 8 weeks. After tonight, the doors shut and you’re back to figuring it out on your own, the same complexity, same grind, same guesswork. Here’s what you’re missing if you don’t join...
