I'm switching islands


Yep, the waves are better one island over, so that's where I'm headed.

Unfortunately that does mean the plan is getting changed a bit.

Instead of doing the call on May 1st, I'm moving it back to May 7th.

The one thing about living spontaneously and jumping from island to island...

Is that sometimes finding good wifi can be a bitch.

So I'm giving myself some time to enjoy the swell and get settled in.

Then I'll be ready to take on anything you throw at me.

But in other news: I'm committing to writing one email every day (or at least every day I log onto my computer.)

I just read Purpose & Profit by Dan Koe and am feeling quite inspired.

If you haven't picked it up yet, go do so now.

You can download the PDF for free and read it in a few days.

It's become one of the top 3 books I've ever read alongside The Way of The Peaceful Warrior and The Slight Edge.

Mr. Koe is kind enough to share the key to living a fulfilled life:

Blending purpose & profit by solving your own problems, sharing the solution with someone 1 step behind you, and living within the constraints you set.

I've managed to tick off boxes #1 and #3.

But #2 is eluding me.

So far I've just brain dumped on looms and shared them with you hoping it would do some good.

It's time I took a more active roll.

Hence the daily emails, and the upcoming live call on May 7th.

It's basically going to be a live loom where I brain dump all of the things I've learned over the past 2 years scaling my ecom brand.

And reveal the brand to show you specific details.

And answer any questions you have.

Yeah, not something you want to miss.

And I'll see you on the call.

My Magnum Opus

Over the past 3 years I've been slowly developing my way of life. I started with the simple goal of being able to do whatever I want, whenever I want, wherever I want. It took countless lessons and more time than expected, but I finally realized my dream. I want to help you do the same, so I started leaving a trail of breadcrumbs.

This was my dream for the longest time. I wanted to build a machine that printed money, automate it, and then spend all my time doing something I loved. Every decision I made was intended to achieve this goal. The moment I got my first brand running I tried to delegate everything. I hired an intern to make me creatives I hired an email agency to run emails I hired a content manager I hired a video editor I hired a project manager I hired 6 customer service agents I hired a second agency to...

42 Simple as that. I tend to overcomplicate it a lot, so it's good to remind myself the answer every now and then. You might also be struggling with some existential questions right now: What is my purpose? What am I truly passionate about? What am I meant to do in this life? What will bring me fulfillment? What is going to make me happy? This happens to me pretty often. Not really the "fulfillment and happiness" side of the question. But more so: how can I best contribute to humanity? I was...

If you're running at anything under $10M per year. You probably land square in the social arbitrage category. That means the lifeblood of your business is almost entirely cold traffic from meta (or one of the other social media platforms.) If you were to turn of your campaigns you would have a slow trickle of orders coming in that would quickly dry up. That is the brutal reality. And something that took me a long time to come to grips with. See, at the end of the day there are only 2 ways to...
