Mini thread: 4 business lessons that I've learned from a decade in the gym
1) Put in the reps

"Consistency is key" has never been more true.

The minute you start skipping days is the minute you start losing muscle, strength, and mental clarity

In business, lack of consistency shortens the path to quitting altogether
2) Progressive overload

Or in the business aspect, iteration

Progressively making your content, offer, systems, and promotions better is necessary

Or else you end up with a metric fuck ton of work without an increase in revenue
3) Fast then slow

You will see quick progress at first.

You will fall in love with learning and build confidence in your skillset

You will land clients quickly in your first year

But, you will hit a wall

Muscle (or revenue) growth will slow after a year (or ~$20k/mo)
4) Its not about the gym

Personal growth = business growth

Business is only one pillar in life, it may even be a sub pillar

You must improve your mind, body, and spirit along the way

"Muscle isn't built in the gym, its built in the kitchen"

How often are you in a bad mood?

How often does it affect your ability to “have a good time?”

Here’s one simple trick to (almost instantly) get out of it

A thread:
Tell me if this sounds familiar...

A problem pops into your head.

A problem you've had before.

A problem that you start to focus on a bit too much.
It starts to take over your mind. It's the only thing you think about now, and the problem get's bigger until it completely saps your energy.

This is not good.

I fucked around and spun my wheels for years

I don't want you to do the same

Here's a fast-tracked roadmap to your first $5K on social media

thread:
Who is this post for?

Those that have a skill, information, or expertise that they want to sell via a digital product or freelance/coaching service.

The last thing I want is for people to be spinning their wheels and overthinking what they need to do to make money.
Refining your offer, marketing, and promotional tactics are great - but if they take your focus away from lever-moving tasks, you won't get anywhere.

Your marketing can be the best in the business but if it isn't in front of people's faces then it is all in vain.

Steal this offer

- Twitter account management
- Pay for shoutouts / growth
- Create authoritative content
- DM people who interact
- Book calls or close in DMs
- Target established coaches

Start off charging small commission

Then $2-4K/mo plus commission

Yw
How to get started:

- buy a Twitter growth guide (literally any)
- buy a sales / DM course
- start practicing with your own account
- create onboarding + content + DM systems from the courses teachings
- use the sales course to start landing initial clients
- get results (use part of what they pay to pay for promotions)
- refine your process / systems
- get more results and charge more
- sail off into the sunset

If you sell something online (or want to)

Here are 7 online business mistakes that should be avoided sooner rather than later

(unless you're happy making less money... or none at all)

// THREAD //
1) Your offer sucks

Everyone gets into this whole online business thing and follows the cliche advice:

"Learn a skill, sell the skill"

Or for coaches "just start helping people and eventually charge"

This goes for digital products as well

This is ok, don't get me wrong
But you position yourself as a commodity

You limit how much you can charge

You will get the same "I need to think about it" on sales calls

You will get stuck in the DM outreach trap and waste hours of precious time

What's the solution?

Nobody want's to be a starving artist.

I've helped dozens of creators, coaches, and freelancers hit their first 5 figure months.

Here are 5 similarities that held them back:
1) Poor Positioning

Especially in the creative / information based niches

- Graphic design
- Web design/dev
- Writing
- Mindset / "life" coaching
- Self improvement
- Even some marketers (ironic)

How do you solve poor positioning?

By going deep instead of wide.
I'm a firm believer in building a "wide" (personal) brand

But having products / services that position themselves deeply in that audience

This happens with specificity

- Market research
- Customer avatar
- Understanding deep pains
- TALKING to your target on the phone
