I’m sitting in the living room of our cozy little holiday cottage.

I woke up at my usual time of 7 pm. Picked up my laptop. And started writing this email.

As I was thinking about what to write about, I realized a lot has happened yesterday.

For one we went to the Gallo-Roman Museum, which fascinated me. I’ve always been interested in history.

It was filled with information about the current city I’m in, the oldest one in Belgium. It was constructed in 15 bc and was the only Roman administrative capital within the country's borders.

The coolest part is that you can still see a lot of the earlier influences, including parts of the original Roman wall from 1,500 years ago.

After going through the museum I went to the museum shop to take a look around. There were quite a few books, so I had to.

I’m implementing a new rule that whenever I walk into a bookstore or someplace where books are being sold I have to buy one.

It doesn’t matter what the book is about. Simply a book that catches my attention. In this way I’ll grow my collection and start learning more about different topics that I wouldn’t otherwise.

Anyway, I bought 2 books yesterday. Rome is burning, a retelling of the great fire of July 19th 64 ad, under the reign of Nero. And Trajan: Rome’s Last Conqueror, a biography about Trajan, the second of the Five Good Emperors.

So definitely expect some Roman-centered emails in the near future.

That’s one thing I try to do. Both in business and in my personal life.

To expose myself to information that I wouldn’t expose myself to otherwise.

Whether it’s visiting new places, ordering foods & drinks I don’t recognize the name of, or picking up books that have a nice cover without reading what it’s about.

You’ll always discover something new.

And talking about something new. Do you know what else is new?

Yesterday we left for a brief 3-day getaway.

One of the first things we visited was an old castle built over 800 years ago. From 1220 to be precise.

It burned down in 1971 and was then rebuilt, but that’s beside the point.

I can say it was a magnificent sight.

We happened to visit on the perfect day through sheer coincidence. It turns out that day was the last day of a local choir group’s repetition. They were practicing ancient Gregorian chants inside the church.

And it was open to the public to come and listen. So, me being the weird music guy, I couldn’t be happier and more excited to do so.

I sat there for quite a while just listening to these, mostly old people. Who, when singing in unison, sounded like true angels. It was as if you were walking towards the gates of heaven and God himself had prepared every angel in his kingdom to welcome you.

It truly was magnificent.

And yet, it wasn’t advertised. Nowhere at all.

That’s probably because they didn’t want random visitors barging in on their repetition.

But ignore that thought, because it doesn’t help the point I want to make.

The thing I want to say is, sometimes the best opportunities aren’t advertised. They aren’t clearly presented to you.

You need to get out there and start exploring on your own.

You need to watch out for the small details, the small added bonuses you get, and the doors that open without making a sound.

As for my offer today.

May I present to you my recently launched Simple Money Emails course (and the disappearing bonus).

Here's what you can expect when you buy it:

• The superpowers of email and why there's nothing else that comes even close to it

• An easy step-by-step guide to creating your very first email list/newsletter to get you started ASAP

• How to create your very first welcome email to help you set the tone, build an immediate relationship with your reader, and get them coming back for more

• 6 of the best methods to grow your list and get hundreds of news subscribers monthly whether you just started or have a list of 5000 readers already

• How you can become better than 95% of people telling stories without having to spend months or even years practicing

• The invaluable power of telling great stories and how you can use those to almost guarantee you'll make a sale regardless of what you're selling

• The secrets to writing high-quality subject lines that make your reader feel the need to click on them without even knowing why they feel so attracted to do so

• How to keep your readers engaged and force them to keep reading regardless of whether you're writing a 219-word email or a 1,739-word email

• 7 of the best and easiest way to monetize your email list today that'll make it impossible not to earn back the investment of this course no matter your previous experience

• The #1 email copywriting technique you need to get people to become emotionally invested in what you have to say and make a sale every single time you write an email

• A list of all the different approaches you can take and how to execute them regarding the frequencies of your email so you can make this work even if you don't want to send daily emails

• My revolutionary new email strategy which combines the best of both worlds of long-form weekly emails and short-form daily emails allowing for the most optimal results with relationship building, sales, gaining authority, and growing your list

• And regular updates adding even more value to this course for years to come

And if that’s not enough, I’ll add in an extra disappearing, one-off, bonus.

An opportunity that isn’t advertised anywhere (except for me mentioning it to you on my email list).

Here’s the bonus:

If you’ll purchase Simple Money Emails before Friday the 18th at midnight CEST / 6 pm EDT you’ll get my Ultimate Content Creator’s Toolkit V2 including all the exclusive bonuses for free!

The bonuses include:

• My personal Hall Of Fame of top-performing Tweets by month

• My Twitter Content Schedule Strategy

This disappearing bonus in total is currently being sold for $32 and is worth a lot more than that.

You’ll be getting double the value by buying today rather than in a few days.

If you’ve previously bought the course, then you’re eligible for the bonuses as well. All future bonuses will always be available to those who previously bought the course.

To avoid confusion: here’s exactly what you have to do:

1) Purchase Simple Money Emails before Friday the 18th at midnight CEST / 6 pm EDT.

2) Reply to this email with a confirmation that you bought the course

3) I’ll send you your bonuses free of charge

Once again, here’s the link for you: https://alexvandromme.gumroad.com/l/SME

I did it!

My first course, Simple Money Emails, is finally here.

I’m going away on a brief holiday trip with my family today, so the timing couldn’t have been better.

There are a lot of things I still wish to improve regarding the copy on the sales page, the designs on Gumroad, and some bonuses I wish to add.

But I promised people I’d release the course this week and so I did.

After all, it’s my very first iteration, and it’s a damn fine one at that. If I may say so myself.

The content itself is wonderful. A lot of work has gone into it. So far I have 10 modules included, all teaching you how to send simple emails that get you sales and keep your readers comings back for more.

I’ll be regularly adding new modules for months to come. This will inevitably also raise the price.

So you better realize that if you’re getting it today, it’ll be the purchase of a lifetime with all the updates you’ll be getting.

Anyway, that’s going to be it for today. I don’t have a lot of time to go into a longer email.

I’ll be back (cue Arnold) tomorrow with, in all likelihood, a fun story about the very first day of our short and relaxing holiday.

Cheers

Lessons about building a one-person business, writing, and self-improvement

---

Everyone wants to monetize their personal brand nowadays. But so many people get lost looking for the perfect opportunity or the perfect business model.

It doesn’t help that almost everyone has contradicting advice, promoting their activities as the one and only method to monetize.

So here are 15 ways you can start monetizing your personal brand today (in no particular order).

15 Ways to monetize a personal brand

Digital product

Whether it’s an e-book, a notion doc, a video course, audio files, a checklist, templates, or a useful spreadsheet you made.

Anything that can be packaged up nicely in a digital format and solves 1 main problem can be sold as a digital product. There’s no limit to your imagination.

The best part is that once it’s made, there’s no marginal cost of reproduction. Meaning it doesn’t cost you a penny to sell extra copies.

You build it once and it can keep on making you money forever.

Exactly like I’m doing with my Ultimate Content Creator’s Toolkit.

Physical product

The same rules apply as they did with digital products. But it’s physical.

Think merchandise, supplements, make-up, books, planners, newsletters, or anything you could imagine.

You’ll need to think about shipping, returns, and storage. And physical products do have marginal costs of production.

Cohorts

A cohort is a group-coaching program that typically runs for anywhere between 14–90 days.

You have regular calls with the whole group and teach them how to solve a pain point or help them achieve their dream outcome.

You can re-use the same curriculum you used for your digital product or coaching sessions.

It’s 1-to-many selling, meaning it’s a high-leverage activity.

Coaching

One of the most profitable, most accessible, and easiest ways to start monetizing online is through coaching. You can coach people on everything you can imagine.

All you need is to tackle a common pain point that’s strong enough and you’ll be able to make it work.

Coaching often works in a 1-on-1 setting but can be done in small groups as well. You’ll work closely together with your clients and help them achieve a certain goal.

Consulting

Consulting is a lot like coaching, but more short-term, and less closely connected with your client. My Clarity Calls are a great example of consulting. They are one-off calls where I help you solve a particular problem you have with your business so you can keep moving forward.

You can also bundle a package of calls together like I offer with my 4-call consultation package.

Consulting is a great way to get a lot of experience quickly. And you can charge anywhere from $500 to $5,000 for a package depending on your experience and the problems you help people overcome.

Freelancing

Freelancing is the act of selling your skillset.

If you have a high-valuable skill such as funnel-building, email marketing, copywriting, ghostwriting, video editing, social media marketing, web design, … you can become a freelancer.

Simply help people with a project of theirs in exchange for a flat fee.

I know some people who charge $500 for designing Twitter banners.

Tutoring

Tutoring is the act of teaching someone a skill.

Let’s say you’re an experienced copywriter. You’ll then teach someone how to write copy. You’ll share the basics, give them homework, review their work, and give them pointers on how to improve their craft.

Every single skill you could use to freelance can also be used to tutor someone.

Paid community

Building and (especially) sustaining paid communities is difficult but certainly possible.

The most common approach is asking people for a monthly fee to get access to your community. This could be through Discord, Telegram, Circle, or any other medium you could imagine.

Regular calls, tasks, challenges, and newly updated courses play a big role in keeping the community alive.

Affiliate marketing

Probably the easiest one to start with.

You don’t need to create anything yourself. Simply take an offer you enjoy from someone else and affiliate for them.

Perfect for learning how to write copy, how to overcome objections, and how to sell.

All you need is to get a lot of eyes on your content, which is where having an audience comes in.

Paid newsletter

You create a structured (weekly) newsletter covering certain topics that inform people and/or help them solve a pain point they’re struggling with.

Paid newsletters are more and more digital nowadays. But there are still quite a few physical ones around that get printed and shipped to your house every month.

Some examples of those include Ben Settle’s Email Players and Dan Kennedy’s Magnetic Marketing.

Email list

Having an email list opens up a whole new avenue of money-making possibilities.

One of the easier ones is to simply get paid for showing ads and/or recommending other newsletters.

This works great if you have a lot of readers.

Ad revenue sharing

Many social media platforms have an option to get paid for the views you get.

Twitter (X) recently launched its own version of this and creators are getting monthly payouts ranging from $200 to $2,000 depending on their traffic.

RT selling

Although suffering from a bad reputation, if you’ve got a big (and engaged) audience on Twitter (or other platforms), you can always sell Retweets, shoutouts, or shares of other people’s posts.

People are always looking (and willing to pay) for opportunities to grow their audience.

It’s a win-win for both.

Agency

Instead of freelancing, you can go down the agency route and build a full-blown business around it.

Here you’ll take on many clients looking to outsource their work.

Depending on how many clients you want to take on you can start hiring employees to make the workload more bearable and scale your business.

There’s no cap on how big your agency can become.

Brick & Mortar promotions

If you’ve got a physical brick & mortar business, social media can be a great way to promote it.

With a big enough audience (or simply running ads) you’ll attract more people to your stores and increase your revenue.

P.S.

Whenever you’re ready. Here’s how I can help you:

1. Hop on a Clarity Call with me: Remove all of your uncertainty. Get clear on what you have to do, when you have to do it, and how. Let’s get you on the right track to achieving the freedom you deserve.

2. Work 1-on-1 with me: We’ll determine where you stand and where you want to go. Then we’ll devise a roadmap to get you from A to B that’ll get you there in the next 30–60 days.

3. Check out my products (free & paid): Ranging from every resource I ever read to everything I know about content creation. It’s all waiting for you to claim it. Start your journey to financial freedom the right way.

And if you've got a moment, I'd love to hear what you thought of this edition of Ascend 101.

Send me a quick message – I reply to every email!

I went bouldering yesterday. (something like rock climbing)

It’s a hobby of mine I picked up recently.

Bouldering is fun, exciting, and sometimes scary, but above all else, it pushes you outside your comfort zone.

As with any sport or skill, you start off with the basics. You take a few simple routes to get the gist of it. Understand how things work and build up the confidence to try trickier routes.

And it’s with those trickier routes where you sometimes have to take a leap of faith, quite literally.

Some routes have been designed with jumps in mind, where you have to leave to the safety of your footing behind and launch onto the next part of the course, believing in your ability to catch it and continue climbing.

None of the routes are extremely high, but it’s a scary feeling, nonetheless.

One of the biggest mindset shifts I had to make is to believe that I could actually complete these routes.

I remember in the early days that I wouldn’t even try to climb some routes. It seemed like I hadn’t the slightest chance of pulling those off.

It was only when I started climbing with other people who complete those routes and encouraged me to try them as well, that I started believing in myself. And actually realized that it was indeed possible for me to do so.

Now, I didn’t immediately succeed in everything I attempted, but once in a while, I could get one.

Raising my confidence and allowing the next run to be even smoother.

But why am I telling you this story?

Well, because, you guessed it, it relates to business as well. More specifically, to your clients.

Dan Kennedy said that doesn’t make sense to promise people amazing results if they feel that they won’t be able to achieve those results. Alex Hormozi covers this in his value equation as well. He calls it the Perceived Likelihood of Achievement.

Or in other words. How likely does the prospect feel that they’ll be able to achieve the result you promise them with your product/service?

This is something you have to cover. It’s an objection you have to overcome.

Tell them how easy it can be. Show them proof of other people in similar situations who achieved the result they desire.

Nobody will buy your product or service if they don’t believe themselves capable of using it successfully

This brings me to my Ultimate Content Creator’s Toolkit.

All it takes to use the product properly is around 10–20 minutes a day, the ability to read, and the willingness to follow instructions.

Will I promise that you’ll be able to make millions in a matter of months? No, absolutely not.

But you will be able to grow your personal brand, build an email list, start monetizing, and make yourself a decent income, maybe even one that will replace your 9–5, in less than half the time that it would take you if you tried to go at it alone.

You won’t have to spend 6 months ‘figuring it out’ as I did. If you can reserve 20 minutes a day to go through the information in the product, you’ll achieve it in 2 months or less.

And to remind you of my bonus offer of yesterday.

If you buy my Content Creator’s Toolkit before the deadline (Saturday, 10 pm CET/ 6 pm EDT), I’ll give you a module of my upcoming email course as a bonus.

You can choose between the following modules:

• How to launch your email list

• Writing the perfect welcome email

• 6 methods to grow your email list

• Write subject lines that make people want to open your emails

• Keep your readers engaged with proper email spacing

• 7 ways to make money with your email list

• Email copy fundamentals to write daily emails that get you sales consistently

• How often should you email your list — different email formats & frequencies

Here’s what you have to do:

1) Buy my Content Creator’s Toolkit, it doesn’t matter which package

2) Reply to this email with proof of your purchase and mention which module you’d like to receive

3) Do this before the deadline (Saturday, 10 pm CET/ 6 pm EDT) and I’ll send you the module of your choice as a bonus

Of course, if you’ve previously purchased the Toolkit, this applies to you as well. Simply reply and let me know which module you want..

I used to be a die-hard gamer.

Grinding 8–12 hours a day, no problem. RPGs, shooters, MOBAs, all of them.

I still like to hop on a game now and then to relax, but nowhere near as often as I once used to. I’m also not up-to-date anymore about the latest releases, dramas, or just the general gist of what’s going on in the gaming community.

Except for 1 exception right now.

I just so happened to have caught a few videos about Baldur’s Gate 3 in my YouTube recommended tab. The Steam store page reads “Baldur’s Gate 3 is a story-rich, party-based RPG set in the universe of Dungeons & Dragons, where your choices shape a tale of fellowship and betrayal, survival and sacrifice, and the lure of absolute power”

See, that’s my type of game. I absolutely love the sound of that. I’ve seen the trailers and some gameplay footage. And you know, maybe I’d even buy it to have some good fun with a couple of friends of mine.

The thing is. Most of the gaming community is absolutely loving it as well. It just released a week ago, and it’s on everyone’s mind. You literally can’t escape it.

It’s a high-quality game, looks beautiful, has lots of content, no micro-transaction, and it’s everything RPG fans would want.

But there’s drama. A lot of it, obviously.

Other developers are attacking the game. Hard.

Turns out Larian Studios, the developers of Baldur’s Gate 3 (BG3), are “overdelivering” and have created too good of a game. Many studios and developers argue that BG3 is “too good” and now “consumers will expect this level of quality from other games as well”. Read that again.

The developers of this game are literally being attacked by other developers for building something good.

Those other developers are now crying about how the industry standard has gone up and their shitty games won’t sell anymore.

Now, you might think this is hilarious, which it is. And that the gaming industry is broken because studios have been creating shitty, low-quality, barely functioning games, and selling them for outrageous prices, without any regard for the customer.

But it’s not just the gaming industry. This is what’s going on almost everywhere.

Most (consumer-focused) businesses around the world are delivering the bare minimum they need to deliver to keep customer expectations low and make as much money as possible.

All it takes is one business to make the decision to “overdeliver” (read: build good shit) and you’ll almost take over the entire market.

This is the same exact reason why Alex Hormozi rose to popularity that quickly.

Fake business gurus and influencers filled the market of online business education, delivering the bare minimum to sell their shitty courses while raking in as much profit as they possibly could.

Then one guy came around and said, “Hey I know my shit, let me just give away my knowledge for free and ‘overdeliver’”, and what happened? He grew quicker and bigger than anyone could have ever imagined.

And here’s how you can do the same:

Look at the market you operate it. Don’t look at what others are doing. Look at what they aren’t doing, that you could do.

Start adding all those things others aren’t doing to your offer. And watch yourself get yelled at for overdelivering.

That being said.

Here’s my attempt at overdelivering with my offer of the day:

If you buy my Content Creator’s Toolkit before the deadline (Saturday, 10 pm CET/ 6 pm EDT), I’ll give you a module of my upcoming email course as a bonus.

You can choose between the following modules:

• How to launch your email list

• Writing the perfect welcome email

• 6 methods to grow your email list

• Write subject lines that make people want to open your emails

• Keep your readers engaged with proper email spacing

• 7 ways to make money with your email list

• Email copy fundamentals to write daily emails that get you sales consistently

• How often should you email your list — different email formats & frequencies

Here’s what you have to do:

1) Buy my Content Creator’s Toolkit, it doesn’t matter which package

2) Reply to this email with proof of your purchase and mention which module you’d like to receive

3) Do this before the deadline (Saturday, 10 pm CET/ 6 pm EDT) and I’ll send you the module of your choice as a bonus

Of course, if you’ve previously purchased the Toolkit, this applies to you as well. Simply reply and let me know which module you want.

It happened. I got my first 1-star review on my Ultimate Content Creator’s Toolkit.

Now, I don’t know why I’ve gotten a 1-star review.

It’s the first one of 75 reviews.

Maybe the person didn’t like the layout. Maybe the person expected all the guides in the product to be mine—if so, that’s on him for not reading the sales page.

Maybe the person didn’t expect that he had to put some effort into going through the courses himself. Maybe he expected to buy the product and through the magical powers of the almighty banana to suddenly get my 7-months of experience just like that—if so, that’s also on him for not knowing how guides work.

Maybe, just maybe, he simply doesn’t like who I am. Maybe he thinks my bananas are stupid. Maybe he dislikes my confidence. Maybe he’s jealous of the small success I’ve already gotten in the past few months—and if so, that’s still on him for giving me money, even if it was to give me a 1-star review.

Even stronger still. The 1-star review allows me to write this email. An email where I’ll stand by my product.

It was Julius Caesar who wrote the following about a Gaulish general who had suffered a big defeat from the Romans:

"This speech made a good impression upon the Gauls. What pleased them most was that, despite a signal disaster, Vercingetorix had not lost heart or concealed himself or shrunk from facing the multitude.” 

So no, I’m not concealing myself from facing this. I’m going to stand by my product.

It’s not a magical product that will make you happy. It’s not something that will make all of your obstacles disappear. You won’t suddenly get clients lining up to work with you.

No, you will have to put in the work yourself. You must be determined to make this work. But if you are. If you are willing to put in the work. If you are determined to make this work.

Oh boy, let me tell you. If that’s you. This product will give you a shortcut to finding all the best pieces of information out there.

You’ll get to skip the awkward growth phases where you lack clarity. Where you have to figure out the best business models. Where you have to fit all the pieces of the puzzle together by yourself. Even though there are many missing pieces and pieces of different puzzles all jumbled together.

This product gives you the puzzle pieces, all of them, and only the necessary ones. But you still have to put them together yourself.

You’ll have to look far to find another product that does what mine does.

You’ll have to look even further to find another product that does what mine does, without having to put in any effort yourself.

But in the case you do. Let me know ASAP.

Because I’ll have some swiping to do.

PS:

If you’re looking for something magical—some products where you can simply download information in your brain while you sleep, I’ve got bad news for you.

If you, however, understand how the world functions. Check out the Ultimate Content Creator’s Toolkit here: https://alexvandromme.gumroad.com/l/UCCT

I’m almost done writing my email course.

I aim to have it finished and release the first version by next week. When it does, it will have 12 modules, covering different aspects you need to know to build and monetize your email list.

Ranging from how to create the perfect welcome email, different methods to grow your list, how to write subject lines people want to click on, and how to actually get people to buy your products through your emails.

This is something I’ve been working on for so long. And I don’t mean just the writing on its own. But everything combined.

Ever since I created my Twitter account, I had my mind set on releasing a high-quality product one day. One that I could be proud of. This could easily be one of my first long-term goals.

One I’m about to reach so soon.

And there were so many things I had to do and learn.

• I had to learn how to optimize my profile to make it attractive to attract new followers.

• I had to learn how to write engaging tweets that people would want to interact with

• I had to get over many fears (one of which was hopping on calls with strangers from the internet talking in a language that’s not my own)

• I had to study and practice marketing, sales, writing, and more every single day

• I had to learn how to create and promote my consulting offer to help and teach other people the skills I had learned by myself

• I had to position myself correctly to attract the right audience

• I had to learn how to create and grow a newsletter on my own

• I had to build a habit of consistently writing every morning to create content and write emails

• I had to understand what makes people tick and why they do the things they do

• I had to learn how to come up with ideas that resonate with my audience

• I had to figure out a way to build a community, a world, of my own on social media where people feel comfortable spending time and wanting to see more of the miracles of that world

• I had to test and improve my systems and frameworks based on the feedback of the consulting clients I was working with

• I had to summarize all those experiences and find out what made some fail and others work

• I had to learn how to come up with and tell engaging stories on the spot when hosting spaces

• I had to learn how to interact with a live audience and keep them engaged in those same spaces

• I had to package this up nicely in an easy-to-understand product teaching people how they can achieve similar results

And that’s not even all of it. There’s almost certainly a lot I missed.

The point is. There’s a lot that had to be done before I could create a high-quality product I know people are interested in and can actually help them.

I’ve been at it for almost 7 months and I’ve probably spent close to $5,000 in total to get to where I am today.

It’d be an understatement if I said that so much has happened. Everything changed.

So yes. I’m thrilled about releasing such a product.

Now the question remains. How excited are you?

PS:

I had to spend so much time and so much money making mistakes, coming across the wrong information, not knowing where to go or what to look for, and being clueless about what should’ve been clear to me from the beginning.

But you don’t have to.

You can find everything you need to succeed on Twitter (or X) in 1 place. You can learn everything you need about sales, (copy)writing, audience building, email marketing, personal branding, content creation, storytelling, or offer creation all in 1 place.

Speed up your learning process by surrounding yourself with the best information, the sources I used personally and found valuable enough to keep coming back to every time I get lost.

Just a friendly reminder in case you’re a fellow procrastinator. (Yes, I’m one of you)

In 3 hours my Clarity Calls will go from $149 to $199.

I loved how he took the time to dissect each part to make it more clear and easier for me to understand. I'd recommend Alex to anyone who's looking to level-up their creator business.“ — Gio

“I had a struggle of implementing a system in my content creation process. As a new dad there are a lot to handle with constant changing daily schedule and having a 9-5. Alex helped me to understand that systems don't have to be complex. He provided me with simple but effective steps to apply the structure right away.“ — Denis

“I was struggling with time management and planning for my personal brand. I have a lot of knowledge but don't know how to use it because of the bad time usage.

Also, he gave me awesome recommendations about useful tools to make things easier for myself.“ — Cedomir

“Alex provided clarity, understanding & helped me gain a better understanding of what I have to offer. Would recommend him to help you out. He’s approachable & actionable.“ — Harry

“I'm building a personal brand on Twitter and like many others who just start – I have pretty much no idea how to do that.

Overall, Alex is a great guy, who knows what he is talking about and is eager to help. I highly recommend working with Alex if you want to know how to build your personal brand a business fast and effectively!” — Toha

“At 1,000 followers I had no system in place for my brand and consulting offer. It was difficult keeping up with hundreds of tasks I had alongside working a 9-5. I was overwhelmed. Alex helped me figure out a system that reduces almost 100% of the effort from my end. He helped me understand how I can increase my productivity and maximize time by automating certain aspects of my consultations. Alex helped me build a system that will boost the growth of my brand and my business. My favourite thing about working with him was his preparation. It’s what he did even before the call had started that really impressed me. He already had an entire plan laid out for me. The only thing left to do was go through it. He had done his research and understood exactly what I needed before we even got to talking. I would recommend any new creator and entrepreneur to work with Alex if they intend to make their one-person business a success. Trust me. Book the calls.“ — Shrawan

I went to the cinema yesterday with a couple of friends of mine.

And you’ll never guess which movie I went to see. It’s definitely not one of the 2 only movies which people are currently talking about.

In fact, there’s been so much media attention on these movies lately that I’m guessing you already know which movie I went to immediately after reading the subject line of this email.

And chances are you’re right.

I saw Oppenheimer yesterday. I’ve been a Christopher Nolan fan for a long time now. So I just had to.

We even got the full IMAX experience as well.

And It was an amazing experience. Even though we sat in the 3rd row, which I once again experienced as definitely being too close (especially for IMAX), the 3 hours flew by as if they were nothing.

Oppenheimer has some flaws, not saying it doesn’t. But it does a lot of things right. Absolutely perfectly.

It’s a 3-hour long film, but it doesn’t feel like it’s 3 hours. At most, it felt like an hour and a half.

The film opens, as any good movie does, with forward movement. There’s stuff happening. But this time there’s a lot of stuff happening. So much so that you don’t really know what’s happening.

Many curiosity loops get opened, some of which only get resolved (or even mentioned) at the very end of the film.

There’s constant tension as well, enhanced by the wonderful audio experience, which keeps you on your toes at all times.

But the most important thing. The factor that makes this 3-hour-long movie work is something Christopher Nolan had been experimenting with back when he directed TENET.

TENET is unique. It’s a wonderful piece of art. It’s an experiment. A failed experiment at that, but even a failed experiment has its value.

Let me ask you a question. Do you remember the name of the main character in TENET? I’m guessing you don’t.

And in fact, I don’t either. That’s done intentionally. The main character doesn’t have a name. He’s even mentioned in the credits as The Protagonist.

The whole of TENET was an experiment to see whether you could create a film without a central character. Without a transformation.

Traditional storytelling would tell you that every story is nothing more than a person going through a transformation. No matter how elaborate the plot looks. It always boils down to someone starting their adventure one way and coming out a different man. Either physically, or spiritually.

In every story, it’s the combination of Plot & Character that keeps the audience engaged.

At any given point in the film, either something should be happening that moves the plot forward. Or something that changes the character.

TENET was an experiment to see whether you could keep the audience engaged solely through the power of the plot. No character development whatsoever.

Ultimately TENET fell flat and didn’t turn out a film many people remembered.

But it did teach a lot about how to keep the plot moving at all times. How to keep the audience engaged.

And you can see this applied to Oppenheimer perfectly. Oppenheimer does have both plot and character. But where it truly shines is the plot. There’s never a dull moment. Never a moment where your eyes wander off-screen.

Business works the same way. A business that’s stagnating is a business that’s dying.

And your audience feels it.

Always be working on something. Always be adding value somewhere. Keep sharing progress updates. No matter how little progress you’ve made.

Even mistakes you made are progress. Share them as lessons you’ve learned.

These are both your plot & your character.

Share your personal transformation. Share your business transformation.
