back to a j-o-b

[View in Web Browser]( Back in 2017 when I was in the earlier stages with my agency at the time, Growth Response… I met another young and hungry fella. Let’s call him Ron. We were in a similar place with similar values. Both in long-term relationships. Both valued family, friends, and having a life outside of just business. Both wanted the autonomy to do what we want, with who we want, when we want. And both wanted to make a shid ton of money :-) Online business was our ticket to freedom. I remember Ron saying he had invested tens of thousands into different coaching programs so he HAD to make it work. Failure was not an option. So we stayed in touch for about a year, sharing notes and strategies. Until life got in the way and we got busy with our own projects. We lost contact around 2019 and I haven't heard from him since. I thought about him when going through some old agency SOPs last week. So I checked out his Facebook profile, and what I saw shocked me. Turns out he quit his agency and became a realtor in 2021. Damn! It made me question… What was the difference? Why am I still hanging around, while he had to go back to get a j-o-b? Well, in 2020 I started my email list. In 2021 it started bringing in consistent sales. And now, 90% of my sales come from email. The other 10% is from social media and referrals. Ron was 100% reliant on cold outreach. And while it does work, it’s mentally exhausting getting rejected dozens of times a day for years. I can’t say if that’s the sole reason he quit. But I can say having an email list wouldn’t have hurt him. It’s the main difference, from what I can see, between me still being in business and him having to get a job again. I don’t do any cold outreach anymore because clients come to me. So yea… starting, growing, and monetizing my email list was the best thing I’ve ever done. It’s both a security blanket and a cash register. It literally saved me from having to get a job. Next week, I’m hosting a 3-Day Email Campaign Blitz to help you make more money from your list. One of the bonuses you get for attending is my list-building course.  So you'll be covered on both growth AND monetization. I’m not saying it’ll save you from your job, or help you replace it. But you may learn a thing or 10 that could help. We have the first session next Thursday at 9 AM PST. [Click here to grab a ticket]( Hope to see you there.
