Imagine a marketer saying:
âThere are no good customers out there.â
Itâs kinda like an entrepreneur saying:
âThere are no good employees out there.â
Getting talent takes 3 things:
1) Write a good ad (most suck)
2) Qualify the applicants (most donât)
3) Pay well (most canât)

I stayed stuck at ~30M/yr for 3 years before one call with a billionaire told me what I was missing.
And - so Iâve tried to recreate that experience in person for as many businesses as I can manage (beyond our free content) by hosting a workshop monthly at my HQ in person.
If you want to come out, itâs 2 days in Vegas. With my actual team helping you identify your current constraint and leave w the 3-5 highest leverage tactics to deconstrain it (that we already know work to solve the problem because weâve done it).
Whether itâs low leads, low show rates, low close rates, low ascension, low profitability, unclear avatar, difficulty finding talentâ>all lead to the same thing - not scaling as fast as you want.

You must first become consistent before you can become exceptional.
The number one thing that prevents consistency is big decisions left unmade.
The most important of which include what not to do.
And the main reason for that is not being sure which input yields the highest return.
And thatâs hard to do when itâs the first time at whatever revenue level youâre at.

A big influencer made an off handed content about our shorts. He said "you guys are masters." It shocked me because all we do is:
1) Post a lot of sh*t without worrying about duds
2) Do more until it stops working.
3) Then try more stuff til we find something else.
That's it.

Normies will tell you "you've changed" because they don't know how to say "you've grown."
And you can't grow without changing.
And you can't have change without people wanting you the way you were.

You have to give up a lot to get a lot.
The price of what you want is what you have. The price of what you have is what you want.
Itâs up to you to decide which is more expensive.
And thereâs more than one right answer.
And the answer can change.

And thatâs sometimes harder than the work.

Personal observation:
You get absolutely better returns at the top ends of achievement because oftentimes assets pool to the winners.
The problem is to achieve the highest levels you have to give up proportional amounts of the things you hoped the achievements would get you.

What's hard today is just another day tomorrow. We get used to it.
What makes the hard work of growth so hard is that growth stays the same but what you trade for it changes:
Distraction
Free time
Friends
Family
Peace
Privacy
Only you get to decide if it's worth it.

You canât get anywhere new until you leave where you are.
We always have to risk what we have for what we want.

What you want comes at the price of what you have.
And what you have comes at the price of what you want.
We get to pick which we'd rather have and which we'd rather lose.

The reason youâre struggling to make the hard call isnât because the decision is hard but because you havenât decided where youâre trying to go.
Itâs impossible to figure out which path in the road to take if you donât know where youâre going.

Iâm pretty sure the difference between a happy life and an unhappy one doesnât come down to how many good or bad days you have but which days you think about over and over again.

The fastest way to make more money is...to ask for more money.
A lot of making money comes down to realizing you don't need anyone's permission to ask for what you want.
