The signs are there, so I'm assuming you've already picked up on this: I'm going through a rough patch in business right now. It's one of those moments where it feels like nothing I do is working. But thankfully, I've been in this situations several times before so I'm not stressed about it. As a matter of fact... I'm actually pretty excited strangely enough. Why's that? Cause every time I've been at one of these low points in my business journey, it was followed by one of my biggest...

Such is life. You can plot and plan all you want... But reality tends to come knock your house of cards down more often than not. And that's exactly what happened this year. Despite my very high hopes and expectations, I ended up losing money on Black Friday. When I started this journey of sharing on twitter / through my email list I decided to be as open as possible. I wanted to give you the clearest picture I could about what it actually means to run an online biz. So even thought it's hard...

The most exciting weekend in ecom is right around the corner. I know I preach about working no more than 4 hours per day, going slow and steady. But... There are times when you need to lock yourself in an apartment, order food, and grind all day. That time is now. The effort you put in this week will go 100x further than a random week in July. So, following my own advice, I've flown to Bangkok and found a nice condo to hole myself up in this week. My goal is to at least 10x my business, and...

Three words. Stupid Simple Systems. Three words that explain exactly how I've been able to do $3,000,000+ while working less than 4 hours per day, living fully nomadically, and completing 2 laps around the world. To me, that's what matters. Not the revenue, not even the profit: The experiences along the way and the lessons I've learned from them. That's what I optimize my life for. And being able to delegate all the boring, time consuming, but never the less crucial tasks off my plate has...

Hiring and training a high quality video editor was the 3rd hardest thing I've had to do in the process of building my ecom brand. 1st was finding the product. 2nd was getting enough custom content 3rd was finding someone to help me edit that content. It's THE skill right now. Especially if you pair it with copywriting. The route I took was to master the skill myself, and then delegate it to someone who can do it 70% as good as me. It took me 5 different hires... And 8 months of training......

It all comes down to a life changing book I read not so long ago. It's called the Slight Edge, and if you haven't read it, order it right now. Or you can go to my resource doc and read my summary/notes on it😉 But anyway, after reading this book I realized that I'd been unconsciously applying "the slight edge" my entire life. And it's exactly why I've been able to achieve every single thing I set out to achieve. If it were getting a new high score in a video game, becoming more outgoing, or...

The main reason I got into online biz is the freedom it allows. IF you do it right. It's just as easy to get sucked up in the grind, have all these meetings, work 16 hours a day, and never leave your parents basement just so you can hit your revenue goal for the year. But that life was never for me. I prefer to work slow and steady, while living my best life in the interim. And systems are the way to do that. I just filmed a 30 minute loom going over how I've created these systems, and how I...

2 years ago, I found the product I've scaled to $3m in sales on Pipi Ads. Pretty wild right? I never thought those tools actually worked... Until my mentor at the time showed me how to use them properly: How to set up the filters What to look for And how to verify if a product is worth testing Since then I've never actually stopped using them. They're great for market research, spying on your competitors, and finding new products to sell in your store. And while I still use them...

I've been laying low since March, waiting for the tide to shift. That time is almost upon us. Black Friday will act like the springboard, and then the rest of Q4 / Q1 is going to be bananas (hopefully.) It happens every year, without fail, so I'm not to stressed about whether or not the profit will start flowing in. The question is mainly: How can I maximize that profit? In a time when you can put in 1 and watch 10 come out, this is the question you need to be asking yourself. Today I filmed...
