Mastering Espionage

Success comes from learning skills the same way you follow a compass. Greetings Everyday Spy, I am so thankful to run a company where I get to learn something new every day! Dime-store self-help types always talk about trying something different. They say you should ‘get uncomfortable,’ ‘immerse yourself in something new,’ and ‘face your fears.’ They are idiots. It is a worthless (and potentially dangerous) exercise to jump into something different just because it is new. At the Agency, I learned new things every day; new secrets, new skills, new tactics. But everything new I learned was based on something I had already mastered. Success comes from learning skills the same way you follow a compass. When you use a compass on a hike, in a car, or even during a video game, you never turn 180 degrees away from your end-goal just to ‘try something different.’ Because you already know that is a waste of time and energy. Instead, you turn just a few degrees to try to get to your destination faster. EverydaySpy is my company -- and it is only a few degrees from real-world espionage. That means I use (and teach you) all the skills and knowledge I built as a covert operative, but I also apply them to my own business. One of the skills I brought from CIA was knowing how to build a team and surround myself with talented people. And because I have talented people all around me, I get to learn how to run my business better. A few weeks ago, my team told me that I needed to send you more email... I didn't believe them at first. I thought I was sending you too much email already! But they insisted, and I'm a sucker for experimentation. So you started seeing more email from me. And in classic spy fashion, I was proven dead wrong. You not only welcomed more email, but you took the time to write me and tell me you loved it! The relationship between field officers and analysts is never easy. But the place we always meet is the intersection of objective fact and measured risk. You are part of my most trusted circle, and I want you to benefit from this field exercise as much as I did. Here is what I learned: Your best customers, most committed clients, and closest partners never get tired of hearing from you. Write to them more often than you do right now to say hello, offer help, and update them on your success. Opportunity follows. Since increasing my emails to you, I've closed multiple new private intel contracts totalling more than $25,000 and grew the SpyTribe by nearly 1,000 people. If you are reading this, chances are you like it when I write to you. And if you don't, you'll unsubscribe or file me in your junk folder. Either way, we both win: - You win because you don't have to put up with me showing up in your inbox... - And I win because [I get to give more to the people who matter most]( instead of the people who don't value my time. Your time and talent is invaluable -- it is the key to your success and the legacy you leave behind you. The people who appreciate you the most are worth more of your attention, effort, and energy. So give it to them. And let the dead-weight cut themselves off. You can't overwhelm the people who need you most... And I’m proud to be part of your mission to help them.
