Travis Makes Money

SOLO | Make Money with a Competitive Advantage


Listen Later

On this solo episode of Travis Makes Money, host Travis Chappell shares three simple—but not easy—habits that create a massive competitive edge: showing up, doing what you say, and embracing boring consistency. He draws from his journey leaving door-to-door sales for online business, explaining how these "duh" principles separate top performers from the pack.​

On this episode we talk about:

  • How just showing up consistently at key events and opportunities builds trust, relationships, and unexpected doors—like Travis flying to Australia for a podcast conference.​

  • Why doing what you say you'll do—even to yourself—builds unshakeable confidence and reputation, while breaking promises burns bridges.​

  • The power of getting "prolifically comfortable" with boring, repetitive tasks like daily cold calling or lead gen that compound into massive results.​

  • Overcoming modern barriers like the "indoor epidemic" of phones and Netflix that make showing up feel harder than ever.​

  • How anyone can apply these to fields like real estate, sales, or online business for outsized success without fancy degrees or rich parents.​

    Top 3 Takeaways

    1. Show up everywhere opportunities happen—even if it's inconvenient like flying halfway around the world—because half the battle is just being there when others aren't.​

    2. Do what you say you're going to do with everyone, including yourself, to build trust, confidence, and avoid self-sabotage from broken promises.​

    3. Get predictably comfortable with boring consistency in lead gen or daily tasks; the first months suck, but compounding separates the top 1% from everyone else.​

      Notable Quotes

      • "If you're willing to do the things that other people are not willing to do, then you can live a life that nobody else can live."​

      • "Showing up is just half the battle... usually more opportunity is going to come your way."​

      • "Get prolifically comfortable with boring consistency... those activities will compound."​
