Even successful consultants who have grown their business into multiple 6 figures struggle with self discipline.

I have put together 12 frameworks that helped me become gradually better at Self Discipline, to the point where I barely recognize my 5 year younger self.

These frameworks are

1) Taking good care of yourself (without practicing "self-care")

2) Imagining your future millionaire self as your boss. What kind of performance review would (s)he give you?

3) Hormozi's Ignorance Tax

4) Externalizing the dark force

5) Sacrifice well - the story of Cain and Abel

6) Everything must rise at the same time

7) Not putting anything on a pedestal

8) Shift from output to input goals

9) Playing the infinite game

10) Removing temptations from your environment

11) Gamifying self discipline

12) Assuming ever greater responsibility

Conversational prospecting (hitting up prospects over LinkedIn DMs) and Cold Email have a symbiotic relationship. In this video, we cover the downsides of Conversational prospecting and its limitations, and how you can use it to generate new angles for cold email.

We'd like to think that clients take us on to follow our advice. But sometimes, they won't. Here's how you can react to it so that

a) they aren't put off

b) no one ends up resenting anyone

c) you keep them as a client.

Yes, you want to be consistent. But also, you need to be alert to when things don't work out. And yes, we hear the stories of people like Justin Welsh who posted for a long time before seeing results, and then suddenly, things took off.

Do you have millions of potential customers? Sure, you can blast them with a barely personalized email. And how about 1,000? You better hand-craft every single pitch.

4 Mindset patterns that keep you below $10k/month

Little insidious mind viruses that masquerade as

🎭 humility

🎭 ambition

🎭 responsibility

🎭 healthy self-critique

Other mindset patterns keep you from starting in the first place.

But these ones specifically keep you below $10k

(which means you're not building wealth)

Here they are:

1) “What am I doing wrong?”

It SOUNDS good because - at least - you’re assuming responsibility.

But below it is a dark, ugly truth

2) “I’m not good at what I do and will get found out”

Classic impostor syndrome.

But most people just let it linger and learn to live with it. Bad idea.

3) “I don’t want to be salesy”

Thought experiment: If you invented the cure for cancer

…would you also want to not be salesy?

4) “I want to work with big corporate. They pay more than SMEs.”

Sounds reasonable, right?

Well, also here, there could be an unsavory truth hiding in plain sight.
