How Dan Koe influenced my life

Dan Koe has been an enormous influence in both my life and business—which are connected, after all. How I build my business determines how I live my life. The one determines the other.

That’s probably something Dan would agree with.

One of the biggest parts—influenced by Dan—of how I build my business is my conviction of embracing all my various interests and pursuing my curiosity, no matter where it leads.

Ever since I was young, I’ve always been fascinated and interested in lots of stuff. And that’s true for most people, at least most children. As people get older, they often lose that curiosity, they lose that ‘spark’. And for me, that spark was still there, but it wasn’t as big as it used to be. Dan helped me reignite the big flames and allowed me to once again pursue my curiosities as I did when I was a child.

And that’s a cheat code when it comes to business. To learn many different topics—and to combine them to build something unique & worthwhile.

This really goes for every interest, I promise you.

You can literally take your biggest passion, your favorite obsession, no matter how obscure it is, build a business around it, and monetize it.

I don’t care if it’s poetry, surfing, meditation, spirituality, ChatGPT prompting, Dungeons & Dragons, reading, fitness, bowling, or Mongolian throat singing.

You can earn a living with every single one of those.

“But Alex, I can’t possibly monetize xyz interest I have. Nobody cares about it.”

Wrong.

The fact you’re interested in it proves there’s something special about it. Something useful. Whether you’re consciously aware of it or not. If it wasn’t interesting/useful/enjoyable/or anything worthwhile to spend your time on, then you wouldn’t be spending your time on it either.

You’re not that special. We’re all human beings. Deep down, we’re all wired the same.

The only thing you need to do is to explain to other people why your chosen interest is so exciting. How it’s improving your life (which it always is). What it allows you to do. And to make them understand the importance of your interest. To show them the missing pieces in their life.

This is where we get to one of Dan Koe’s most quoted lines: “Do what you love but study psychology, marketing, and sales so you don’t become a starving artist.”

Because that’s essentially what it’s all about. Take the interest/topic you love and combine it with evergreen skills such as psychology, marketing, sales, (copy)writing, graphic design, and community building.

And that’s exactly what the Content Kitchen cohort focuses on:

Teaching you all the evergreen skills you need so you can become your very own creator. The sculpture of his own life. You choose what kind of business you want to build. You decide what to offer & how to dedicate your time.

No more fixed roadmaps showing you how to become a growth coach, because that’s the only thing most cohorts know how to teach you.

No.

Content Kitchen gives you the foundations you need to make it in the game of both business and life.

Because as Alan Watts would say (another way Dan influenced me):

“Sensible people get paid for doing what they enjoy doing.”

So if you want to get paid doing something you love, then don’t wait a second longer and save your spot in the Content Kitchen cohort here: https://alexvandromme–contentkitchen.thrivecart.com/content-kitchen/

I’m also giving you an incredible set of bonuses if you sign up through my link.

That’s because I want to guarantee it’s worth your $499 even if you don’t go through a single course the cohort is offering you, even if you don’t utilize the 1:1 mentorships the coaches are offering you, hell even if you don’t take a single glance at the community inside the cohort.

And so I’m offering you four FREE and yet SUPER-valuable bonuses if you enroll through my link. Bonuses which I’ve never sold before and also won’t ever sell on their own.

Specifically, I’m offering:

  1. Getting Inbound Clients (as a new creator) ($99 value)

    This is a document I prepared for a recent consulting client of mine. Here I show you the necessary fundamentals to build a brand that automatically attracts prospects to you.

    I’ll dive deeper into methods and frameworks you need to maximize the results you get out of the content you create, so you can get paid without doing any outreach.

    My consulting clients pay upwards of $200+ per hour and I’ve never had a client who wasn’t 110% satisfied with the value they’ve got out of it.

  2. The First Steps (of a one-person business) ($97 value)

    This is a general overview & roadmap I go through with many of my consulting clients. It teaches you all the basic fundamentals you need to get right to build & scale your creator business.

    Ranging from how to establish authority, to generating an income, and a fast track to acquiring knowledge so you keep growing for years and years to come.

  3. Writing For Attention ($97 value)

    This is a new resource I created for one of my most recent consulting clients. It’s all about the rules of attention-grabbing writing.

    I dive deep into the psychology of what grabs attention, what keeps attention, and what creates engagement.

    You’ll learn the big picture overview of how to write so that people will want to keep reading as well as tips & tricks to craft the perfect hook every single time.

  4. A personalized Audit (worth at least my hourly consulting rate of $249)

    And to not leave you stranded on your own I’ve decided to at this one-time offer (I’ve literally never done this before) where I’ll personally audit your creator business.

    I’ll take a look at your Twitter profile, your current offer, and even one of your latest sales emails and give you constructive feedback on all of those to help you grow faster, get more clients, and earn more money.

    If you don’t yet send sales emails or don’t have an offer yet, no worries. I’ll help you come up with an offer that suits you so you can start monetizing as soon as possible.

So there you go. If you want to enroll in the Content Kitchen cohort with a value of $5,341, that’s yours for just $499…

… or if you want my add-on bonuses that are worth a combined $542, which you can get for free…

… then here’s what to do:

  1. Join the Content Kitchen cohort at https://alexvandromme–contentkitchen.thrivecart.com/content-kitchen/

  2. Reply to this email with proof that you’ve joined the cohort through my link (receipt, welcome email, confirmation message,…)

  3. And I’ll get back to you with all of my bonuses worth at least $542

Important:

Enrollment for the cohort is live now and will only stay up for 5 days. That’s until Saturday, October 7th, 2:59 am EDT/ 8:59 am CEST / 5:59 pm AEDT.

That’s how long you’ll have to join both the cohort and get my bonuses. Both your purchase AND your reply to my emails have to come before Saturday at 8:59 am CEST.

So if you know you want them, why not get them now and save yourself the uncomfortable “I was too late” message asking if you can still get the bonuses—which I’ll say no to.

Once again, you can join the cohort here: https://alexvandromme–contentkitchen.thrivecart.com/content-kitchen/
