How the typical human asks about automation: These were my usual follow-up questions

🤯

I spent 7 years drinking, and partying every weekend as soon as I hit 18 (all to fit in, and because everyone was doing it)... Then, after a rough breakup, my decision making went straight to 💩…

The result?

🥶 One DUI and 3 drunk in public citations in just three months.

Rock bottom had arrived and I was DEEP in it.

Climbing out of it was rough.

I felt I had absolutely nothing to offer.

How to make 20K/mo. revenue

1. I spent over a year running growth/marketing for a newsletter (for free).

2. Collected social proof by helping people

3. Posted free automation tutorials for six months & positioned myself as an "SME" on LinkedIn (70% revenue/clients) 4. Leads flooded my inbox.

I charge a minimum of $3K per client. (avg. $8K) and offered money-back guarantee.

If they didn't recoup their investment, I'd give them their $ back.

The first 3 months were running my last digital marketing agency were TOUGH.

I was burnt out, and considered quitting many times.

With six previous biz failures, I couldn't let it happen again.

Buckled down & did the following 👇🏼 Documented everything.

If I handed these SOPs to anybody off the street, they'd be able to implement it.

Five months later, I hit 10K in monthly profit and had an eight-person remote team.

2012 I discovered programming.

It was the best.

For the first time, I felt challenged.

My first language was C++.

But then I got bored & tried Java.

Then Python -> Rails -> Ruby -> Swift -> back to Rails, and every few months, it was the same thing. I spent hours watching tutorials, copying and pasting code, and nothing would stick.🤦‍♂️
