    Dumb and Dumber Do Real Estate Development and Investing

    REAL ESTATE 
    You might remember me from my last progress post about growing a marketing company from 0 to 12k per month back in 2019 or so. This company has continued to grow about 100% YOY with our peak in May at around 70k cash into the business. The best part of this company is not the marketing or the...

    Practice Copywriting While Reading the News

    I recently discovered a news site called Ground News. They take the various topics of the day and make it super easy for you to see the different channels and biases they have. It's kind of hard to explain so just check it out. I have the app and I can go story by story and see what...

    An example of marketing (gaslighting/manipulation) in politics

    MARKETING 
    Warning: If politics triggers you, tread lightly. No matter what side you find yourself, I implore you to look at this post as a study in marketing and try to forget about your personal convictions for the moment. Last night I clicked on a Youtube suggestion that was a clip from Trump's town...

    MINDSET 
    Let's be honest. If we are here reading and contributing to this forum, then we have something to be grateful for. It doesn't matter what kind of day you are having, you can think of something to be grateful for. What is one thing that if it was not, you would be severely upset? I'll start.

    Business 101 It's been exactly 1000 days since I registered my first business. I took the path less traveled and started a digital marketing agency in 2017. The goal was to earn enough money to travel and be free. Mission accomplished. You can read about that here if you like on my first...

    How to partner with an Ecom business as a marketer?

    I've been consulting someone who has a budding Ecom business. He has many avenues to take and I believe they all have potential. As a marketer, I can see 100 things I would do this month, but the owner is set on bootstrapping and can only afford a little at a time. I can see it dragging on for...

    Experienced coders: What do you think is the best framework to create a web app like this?

    There's a cool app on Android called Do it Now. It's like am activity tracker with elements of an RPG. You can check it out here I've been using it to track certain skill sets I'm building and regulate certain behaviors I want to limit. I like the app, but its missing a lot of things I would...

    Cultivating Desire

    MINDSET 
    Today I had that burning desire to get what I want. I could have worked 1000 hours. Unfortunately I could not. I only had a few hours to work before I had other obligations to attend to. That's the thing. Time is limited and motivation comes and goes. I haven't quite figured out how to hold...

    The Value Pyramid - A Hierarchy of Consumer Values

    Hey everyone. I've been down this path for over two years now and I still struggle sometimes when it comes to focusing on value. This morning I decided to do something about it and did a deep dive. I started with Unscripted and used the index to find the mentions of value. The content in that...

    Do you always stick to plan?

    MINDSET 
    I don't. I might follow through most of the time but I never stick to plan 100%, and I just realized this today... I was in the gym doing deadlifts. After two sets I realized that I've done the stronglifts program before but never for more than a few days before altering the program. That's why...

    Goal: Another Word for Event

    I've been listening to a book called Atomic Habits. It's worth a minute if you are someone that has trouble with the word goals. The entire premise of the book is that we should spend less time thinking about goals and instead strive to develop the systems that will take us to our goals and...

    Why is it so hard to stick with something in the beginning?

    MINDSET 
    Why is it so common that we can start off strong on implementing new ideas only to give up after a short time? Where does the motivation go? On the flip side, why is it that when you ask people what specific actions made them successful, they can't usually tell you with any sort of precision...

    Where have you failed today?

    I'm just beginning my day and I realized something... See, I created a forum on one of my websites last night. I didn't think about it too much before I did it, I just did it. I took action. I sent an email to a tiny portion of my list announcing the launch of the forum then went to bed. This...
