I became a millionaire...then the 💩 hit the fan

It felt like I was on top of the world If you are having trouble viewing this email, [click here.](  Hey , More than a decade ago, I made my first million dollars.  And let me tell you, it felt like I was on top of the world.  To a farm boy from Stratford, Ontario (a small town in Canada), seeing two commas in your bank account is a lot like seeing a UFO.  It’s super cool...but you can’t be sure that it’s actually real.  After that, I went on to build four other 7-figure businesses in four different industries.  And if you want to steal my systems and strategies so you can replicate my success, keep an eye on your inbox over the following weeks. I’ll be sharing some of my best free content to help you scale from 6 to 7-figures in record time.  But when I made my first million, I acted like most freshly minted millionaires act.  Like a complete fool!  I let the freedom and success go to my head.  I had no boss. No “working hours.” And no one in my life to say, “Hey Craig, maybe you shouldn’t spend all of the money you’re earning on expensive dinners and swanky apartments.”  So, I did the thing that most young people with more money than they know what to do with do…  I started partying like a rockstar.  I was going out three to four nights a week, drinking like a fish, and stumbling back to my apartment well past the time I normally woke up (4 am was an “early night” back in those days).   And I won’t lie to you.  I had the time of my life...  ...Right up until the point where everything came crashing down.  But more on that later.  For now, I want you to think about an area of your life where you are out of control.  Whether it’s binge eating, getting high before work, watching too much TV, or working too many hours, think of ONE area in your life where you’ve become a “Million Dollar Party Animal.”  Next, ask yourself a simple question.  “What is the COST of this destructive pattern?”  The thing most people don’t realize about freedom is that it’s NEVER free.  To have freedom in one area, you must, by definition, lose freedom in another.  You have the freedom to eat cheese burgers and fries for every meal...but you lose the freedom to have a healthy and high functioning body.  You have the freedom to get wake up at 11 am and watch Netflix originals all day long...but you lose the freedom to have a fulfilling career and financial abundance.  Freedom, more than anything else, is about understanding the opportunity cost of your actions and consciously choosing the ways in which you want to be free...and where you will create strict rules and boundaries.  So ask yourself…  In what areas have I chosen freedom...and is it the type of freedom I truly desire?
