But I struggled for 10 long years and made very few gains. Because I was avoiding this one thing. And as soon as I discover this I gained almost 20 pounds of muscle in less than 3 months.

Today I’m revealing something I learned while whoring out my mind to the highest bidder... a.k.a. being a freelance copywriter.

This will be your biggest regret

January 17, 2019 05:00 - 12 minutes - 11.7 MB

I used to think I had to put off doing what I really wanted to do until “someday.” And that “someday” almost always had something to do with making a certain income. I used to think that I had to have the right person or relationship in my life to be “complete.” I thought I needed to “arrive” before I could be happy. However... the past three decades have shown me something “veddy iiiiiiinteresting.” (Obscure 70s reference.) And if you don’t want to piss away 30 years of your life ...

Have you ever dreamed of starting a business and then getting bought out for some huge amount of money by venture capitalists? For many entrepreneurs that ain’t EVER gonna happen. Except for my guest this week. He HAS gotten offers from VCs. And he told them all to go pound salt. Not because they didn’t offer enough money. It was because he sweated frickin’ BLOOD to create his business... starting with NOTHING. And he didn’t want to turn his “baby” over to people who would turn it int...

Jonathan Gryzbowski part 1

October 04, 2018 04:00 - 24 minutes - 22.9 MB

My guest, Johnathan Grzybowski, says most entrepreneurs are blind. Blind to all the things they SHOULD be focused on. And wasting WAY too much time on stuff they SHOULDN’T be focused on.

And that’s EXACTLY what happened with his business. He went from an idea that he “ran up the flagpole”... to over 40...

Bugger Off!

September 13, 2018 04:00 - 21 minutes - 20.4 MB

I’m constantly bothered by people who want me to work for free. Constantly. The ruse is usually the promise of “future income.” Probably because it’s super easy to make promises about money you don’t have yet. Once people have it, very, VERY few seem to be able to keep their word and pay what they promised. That’s why I found this lesson interesting. Even more interesting, I learned it from one of my favorite jazz-fusion guitarists, Scott Henderson. It’s all revealed here on the la...

Ya know something... the basics of running a business just ain’t that complicated. But there’s something that always messes it up and makes it a million times harder.

July 26, 2018 04:00 - 26 minutes - 24.8 MB

I had the pleasure of interviewing a fellow marketer the other day. Interesting dude. He has a proven system that lets you bypass all the “bottom of the totem pole” low price customers... and “leapfrog” your way to the 20% in your niche/market. The people who buy high price point stuff. It’s contrary to the old outdated marketing model I first learned back in the day. But the dude’s got the results to back him up.
