“Is this what I’ve been studying for these past 5 years?”
I was at a networking event. Speaking to alumni, big consulting recruiters, CEOs of smaller financial and technology forms, and recent graduates who landed a job a year earlier.
It was an event to get more clarity on the various job opportunities I would have after graduating.
I looked around me and saw so many people I’ve been studying together with for the past 4–5 years. Yet all of them seemed happy and interested in a dozen working opportunities.
Am I the only one who wasn’t excited?
Something just didn’t seem right. Is this truly the only way? Applying to a job I barely enjoy, working 8 hours a day, being tired when I come home, and doing this every day until my retirement?
No.
I wasn’t going to go down that path. There had to be more to life. I wasn’t going to end up like everyone else.
I’m going to make a difference. To do it differently.
That’s when I decided to drop out. Right then and there.
I only had 1 more year of university to go. Yet that didn’t matter. If I didn’t do this now, I’d regret it for a lifetime.
This was a huge risk.
I didn’t have a clue what I was going to do—except that I was going to start an Internet business. I’d do something with marketing and sales.
But that was about it.
So immediately after that networking event, I began to educate myself.
I was reading books, browsing YouTube, and buying courses, all to discover the best way to earn a living while working 3 hours a day and achieving True Freedom.
I experimented with lots of different approaches: agency work, freelancing, consulting, and coaching.
But all those approaches were missing something.
Too much time went into getting leads, hopping on sales calls, overcoming objections, doing the actual work, creating new offers, building an audience, and more.
Whatever I did, working for 3 hours didn’t seem possible.
I then started looking for the behind-the-scenes of other businesses.
How were other people monetizing? How many hours were they putting in daily? What did their schedule look like? What are their lever-moving tasks?
I realized a lot of the biggest accounts were big solely because they were making a lot of noise. They were putting in a lot of work to grab attention, grow their brands, and sell their offers.
I was following the wrong game plan from the very start.
A while later, I came across a few humble creators. They didn’t have the biggest following, but they were making almost 5–10 times what those big guys were making. While working less than half the time of the bigger creators!
The difference?
They had created a world of themselves.
They were in constant connection with their audience through writing daily emails. And their audience couldn’t get enough of it. Every offer they send, every product or service they made, their audience would buy it.
And they kept coming back for more.
All these guys had to do was spend 10–20 minutes writing an email.
So I started doing the same.
Within a few months, I doubled the size of my audience, 4x’ed all of my important metrics, and earned a consistent income while working less than 3 hours a day.
And all of this by building a freedom-focused and email-centric business that takes care of everything and keeps money coming, no matter what!
Now, you might be able to figure out how to do all of this yourself simply by carefully going over this email a few times and reading between the lines, figuring out the intricacies of what I mean.
And I’d highly recommend you to give it a go yourself.
But if you’re anything like me and you value the time and effort required to achieve success. Then you might be interested in this course I created, which walks you through the entire step-by-step process that’ll show you how to build a world of your own by writing simple emails that get you paid.
