How I Made $6.9 Million Writing 2 Hours A Day

25 minutes

If you've been here a while, you know this is pretty much a re-recording of a previous video. There's a reason for that: to show that by doing this for multiple years, the results start to compound. In my first year I made around $10,000 (outside of previous freelancing). Year two was $100k, then $150k, then $800k (previous video), then ~$4m, then a little under $2m (because I split traffic to a new business).

While there are actionable parts of this video, I want the main lesson to be this: iterate on a system, in a high leverage area, for multiple years, not a few weeks.
