$197k in 12 days: I Got Paid $9600 Per Email Even Though I'm NOT a Copywriter & Have No Clients
A New Way Copywriters & Freelancers can cut the "client" chord forever...
“You can never outperform your own self image…” ~ Maxwell Maltz
I gotta go a bit backwards before I can give you the goods…
But I’ve got something special for you at the end when you do.
The best way I found to stop going through toxic relationships, friendships, clients, or business partners?
…Is to be aware that I was likely repelling the healthy ones to start with.
I was at the pool on a hot summer day and happen to have a conversation around dating & relationships with a few peeps.
One lady mentioned that she had been on 40 "coffee dates" over the past year!
And she said NONE of them were right for her...
The reason?
She didn't feel chemistry with any of them...
Except for the last one...
She said she immediately felt chemistry and KNEW he was “The One”.
And for Eight months it was amazing...
Until it wasn't...
And then one day he just up and ended it for no reason...
Then a back and forth, on and off again ensued...
The gas lighting...
The push and pull for another eight months...
Confusingness...
Anxiety...
She couldn't understand why it was happening to her but she took zero action to put a stop to it either.
She was clinging on for dear life to “the one”…
“Life doesn’t happen TO you, it happens FOR you…”
Then one day he made it clear he wasn't interested in a relationship with her.
But that he wanted to remain just friends and still have certain benefits...
He told her not to get her hopes up that anything more would happen while he continued to date...
And although she said it bothered her?
She still spent Friday and Saturday nights with him when he was available...
Nuts right?
Here's my point...
She's NOT a victim...
Although she attempted to paint herself in that light.
Because here’s my point…
The chances are quite likely she repelled a few REALLY good guys out of the 40 because there wasn't any chemistry...
And instead? She actually chose the one guy that triggered and felt familiar to her unhealed wounds & trauma...
Now, she said she attracted this toxic person...
...when in reality it’s likely she repelled a few healthy guys because they were boring and didn't feel exciting enough...
...and she unconsciously filtered out the one guy that DID feel exciting but happen to be toxic.
Why on earth would she do this?
Because the chemistry she felt was actually just wounds & traumatic circumstances that felt familiar.
Here's the thing...
I ain’t talk’n shit about this lady…
Because over my lifetime as a man? I've done this exact same behavior more times than I care to admit.
Self-abandonment was a real thing that caused wealth and a good woman to avoid me like the plague.
And if I DID manage to get one or the other?
I’d make sure it didn’t stick around too long.
Because I could never outperform my own self-image!
And mine screamed, “I’m not that important!…”
So I had to gain some altitude over my character which was driving the thoughts…
And one quote I read DID open my eyes…
"As you heal your attractions change too...
Toxicity stops looking like excitement...
...and peace stops feeling like boredom."
And it's been as true for my business, wealth, and the friendships I choose…
…as it has been for my intimate relationship.
Now I’ve mentioned before that I’m not a big fan of saying “I’m healed”…
But I will say, living INTO this quote has had MORE of a positive impact on all the other areas of my life than any one idea alone.
Living a life from the Inside Out allowed me to step AWAY from the status game I was constantly living in.
Chasing money & women?
Is living an OUTSIDE in life.
“My perfect life isn't a place to get to...
...it's a place I come from.”
When it comes to generating massive amounts of cash flow online these days...
There’s two ways to go about it in my humble opinion…
I can chase cash like I used to chase women.
Or I can chase excellence using ONLY my natural mental and emotional talents.
ONE sucked.
It was constrictive.
Filled with dreadlines (deadlines I didn’t really want).
And my status in the world relied on what was going on out there that made me look good.
Gotta get those clients and sales!
And look awesome…
So I can be SEEN as successful.
Fact is?
I was riddled with anxiety all the time cause, “I gotta 10x mah bidness!…”
This other path I discovered is MUCH MORE FUN and lucrative.
And…
It gives me truckloads of time, energy, and money…
While I only use a THIMBLE full of effort & energy!
But more importantly, it’s fulfilling.
It FUELS my joy NOW(er).
Not later.
Cause my focus is only on doing stuff I CAN’T NOT DO.
Cause I love to.
So no burnout.
No dread at the start of my day.
No bossy ass clients to answer to.
And it pays me OCEANS of time, energy, and money like no one’s business.
Even though I only work 10 or 12 hours a week!
Unlike my life before when I thought I was entitled to all that.
Cause that’s what we’re told.
“You deserve it all!…”
Meh, deserving & entitlement can be a fine line.
Entitlement is the inherent assumption one is privileged to a "want" or an outcome.
But entitlement was my cashflow killer...
Entitlement made me deaf, dumb, and blind to what truly matters...
Which is DEEPLY LISTENING to the challenges and constraints of the people I wanna serve and help (no different than listening to a lover I care about)...
So I can provide them a meaningful outcome.
And they’ll desire to do business with me again and again...
But the natural consequence of all that?
Is their financial OR energetic investment in my offer(s).
Because they can see their lives will be EASIER.
All while I listen for FEEDBACK once I've started serving them...
...so I might improve upon my understanding and offers.
Because you know where money REALLY comes from?
It ain't the universe.
It's other people's wallets!
And the only way I know folks will consistently pull money out of their wallets and throw it at me?
Is if I make them AN OFFER of perceived value.
An offer that they believe will eliminate immediate pain from their lives.
Take stuff of their “to-do” list…
And that will get them an immediate result that's meaningful to them soon(er) rather than later...
Now, I can't do ANY of that if I assume I'm already entitled to their time, attention, or money.
Because I simply won't be able to LISTEN to what's important to them...
“God gave me two ears and a mouth for a reason. And it’s I can listen deeply to the people in my life. When I DO say something? It’s actually important to the other person…”
In my humble opinion, this is why so many folks don't get to their money goals...
Their focus is on what's important TO THEM. Instead of what's important to their peeps.
And it blinds them to the EASIEST and FASTEST path to a wealthy lifestyle…
Focusing only on MAKING MONEY made me deaf, dumb, and blind to what was actually important to my people.
If I want to double my income?
I want to double my understanding of my people’s world.
As well as divorce my time from my money…
So…
When everyone else is chasing 5 and 6-figure clients?
I’m putting together 6 figure DEALS…
I stopped focusing on making MONEY and started focusing on acquiring assets.
Because I’m not gonna wait 30 years before I get paid retirement kinda money.
I’m gonna live free now(er).
NOT LATER.
I wanna retire in 6 months not 30 years.
Can you relate?
Because that’s what I’m doing…
You know what I AM entitled to?
I'm entitled to JOY (when it comes from inside)...
I'm entitled to LOVE (when I’m connected to Christ)...
I'm entitled to choose LOVE and do what brings me JOY...
Which is why I don't stop helping my peeps.
I can't...
Because I enjoy it too dang much.
And that's a beautiful place to COME FROM instead because...
The future is NOT a place to get to…
…it’s a place you and I as men can come from.
And you know what?
You can have wealth NOW(er) not later.
I’m not a dating coach, but as a man, when I stopped chasing women and started chasing excellence?
Money becomes a natural consequence of doing what I love to DO every day...
...and that’s just me living as a genuinely meaningful man.
It’s a fun place to come from.
It's why I'm still here...
...and God willing, plan to be for a while.
Matter of fact, I have a case study I’d be happy to share with ya where I brought in $197,000 in 12 days.
Using nothing more than 10 emails, FB chat, and an ugly Google doc.
And I did it without having to convince a client to give me money.
Matter of fact, I don’t have any clients.
Nor do I mess around with doing any webinars, paid ads, or sales calls…
No, I’m not a copywriter.
No, I’m not a Funnel guy.
And no, I don’t have or need to chase a single client.
But I did get paid $9600 per email that went out to an email list of less than 15,000 that someone else owns.
No, they aren’t a client either.
