It’s not perfect, but following this weird “points” system is about the closest you can get to guaranteeing your success in business

How to make your success INEVITABLE

THREAD
People think success is a mystery. It’s not. Simply put success is the result of consistent effort compounded over time

This is (in my opinion) the single most important concept to understand if you want succeed in business
Because of this, our #1 priority should be putting in consistent effort on a daily basis over a long period of time

This is easier said than done however

So to make it easier, we gamify it

Here’s how it works
The goal with this system is to build up to 100 points

The way you get points is by putting in 2 hours of focused work on your business per day

Every day you put in that 2 hours of focused work, you get 1 point

Pretty simple
However you can also lose points…

For every day that you DON’T put in that 2 hours of focused work, you lose 0.5 points
Put in the 2 hours of focused work today? +1 point

Don’t put in the 2 hours of work? -0.5 point
As an example if this week you do the 2 hours of focused work Monday-Friday but skip Saturday & Sunday… you get 5 points - 1 point = 4 points total
On the other hand…

If you only do the 2 hours of focused work two days this week… you get 2 points - 2.5 points = -0.5 points

So then you’re actually LOSING points, not gaining them
If you’re perfect with this system and do it every day without missing, it will take you 100 days or about 3 months to get 100 points

Realistically you can expect to miss some days here and there, so a good goal is reaching 100 points in about ~25 weeks or about 6 months
Why does this work?

Because success isn’t linear

It doesn’t go up in a straight line with your level of effort over time
Instead it’s much more exponential

Nothing will happen for weeks or months, but then eventually all that effort will compound and things will just start to “click” extremely quickly
Thing is most people never make it to the point where things start to compound

They give up just before they start to see results, and this is a huge reason so many people fail at business
If we want to achieve success, we must first go after it in the same way it is achieved in the real world

Which is through consistent effort, compounded over time, even if we’re not seeing results quite yet
And dassssit!

Start today, or as soon as you can, and see how fast you can reach 100 points

When you look back I guarantee you will be FAR closer to your goals than you were before

Good luck
Unfortunately I do not have the spreadsheet, it was made by a student of ours who emailed me with his results after implementing this and all I have is the screenshot

Should be fairly simple to set up tho

Want to increase your store’s conversion rate? Make your product page SKIMMABLE

This is a small change that can make a huge difference

THREAD
In ecom no one’s reading every word on your product page. 95% of the time they’re SKIMMING, which means your page should be structured to reflect that
Easiest way to do that is to treat your headlines as if they were the ONLY words you get to sell your product

Example 👇

The best kept secret in e-commerce? Products with BUILT-IN demand

I accidentally discovered this in 2018 and it completely changed the way I find products to sell (not to mention generated me over $1M+ in sales)

Forget “winning products” — this is way easier

THREAD
This is a method for finding products to sell with e-commerce / dropshipping

The basic concept is instead of selling any random product, you sell a product that “piggybacks” off an existing (often expensive) product that’s ALREADY popular
This usually takes the form of an accessory or upgrade


(If someone spent hundreds or thousands of dollars on a product, a $30 accessory that improves it or makes it more unique is a pretty easy sell)

Prime example:
