Kanye, Donald & Elon‘s Hack to Staying On The Cutting Edge


Listen Later

Visualize this— 
 
Your new sales memoir is complete...(and, man, the design is beautiful)
 
Your marketing campaign has finally run its course...
 
Your launch happened...yesterday, as a matter of a fact 
 
And suddenly...the world understands you. 
 
Your people are gathering...
 
The message you’ve been carrying on your shoulders, that we both know can truly change lives; 
 
people finally get it. 
 
They’re bonding under your mantras and living in full, finally, and they have you to thank. 
 
Would that be the moment you feel most complete?
 
Imagine the sweeping change you’ve envisioned for the world, since your earliest years, coming about, one person at a time...
 
The same way Napoleon Hill might’ve felt when Think & Grow Rich made millionaires...
 
The same way Tony Robbins must’ve felt after writing and releasing Awaken the Giant Within to an accepting world that would go on to immortalize him forever...
 
How Russell Brunson must’ve felt when Dotcom Secrets took the world by storm, creating “funnel hackers” and resulting in a billion dollar company...
 
That very same emotion experienced by anyone whose ever decided to finally pull the trigger and create a platform to harbor the ideas they’ve valued all of their lives...
 
How would that feel? 
 
Knowing that people all over the world are staying up late at night— they can’t sleep
 
They’re reading through a collection of your thoughts and they’re becoming more and more ecstatic as each moment introduces to them a new secret of life that they had never before considered...
 
How would that feel? 
 
If you’re being honest, you probably answered:
 
“Great. It’s sound pretty damn good...”
 
...But deep down you realize, as good as that sounds, that pain of actually getting there might still be far greater than the rewards...
 
And I agree. 
 
As a person that LIKES and excels at writing, I have to admit that writing actually kinda sucks 
 
And that’s on its own—
 
The idea of...
 
...sitting down and formatting hundreds of pages and stories in my head in a way that actually makes sense...
 
...writing every day for a year or more...
 
...and doing all that as a person that possibly isn’t too great at writing at all...
 
Yeah, no. Not happening. 
 
Man, I remember even a few weeks back working on a sales memoir for Memoir Launch actually...
 
I had the title down...and that’s about it...
 
And I worked on it for about 5 weeks...
 
Most of which was spent just thinking about the amount of time it’d take for me to actually get it all done...
 
That and how much I’d really even get out of writing it...
 
And in the rare moments, I struggled to find a cohesive progression to the random soup of insanely good ideas that my sales memoir would consist of...
 
Then, with a headache, I just came back to reality and accepted the fact that I wasn’t about to sit down and spend a whole year of my life writing... 
 
I mean, wholeheartedly, I can say that the thing that would probably get this business (and the IDEA behind it all) out to people the fastest and in the most impactful way would be a sales memoir...
 
(As we’ve seen historically with other sales memoirs such as Mein Kampf, Communist Manifesto, The Bible and the aforementioned others) 
 
But, again; yeah, but nah, right? 
 
Writing is just a little too time consuming and complex of a beast at times to be a sensible option in a busy life...
 
But what other options are as effective? 
 
Naturally, the first alternative that anyone in that situation would think of is what? 
 
A ghostwriter, right? 
 
I’d say so. 
 
But, you see, as an actual working (ex) ghostwriter I’ll be the first to admit that paying for a ghostwriter is actually a pretty terrible idea  
 
You pay for a ghostwriter with the intention of getting a superior writer to translate your ideas into words with some haste 
 
But guess what? 
 
More often than not, it just ends up like a game of telephone 
 
That’s why I stopped ghostwriting actually...
