Taking action but not seeing results?

Mar 26, 2024

I remember when I was on high school that I was just following what my mentor taught me.

1- Get new followers.

2- Get new people in your group.

3- Get new people in your email list.

But deep down I was thinking:

“Ok, but where’s the money part?”

“When do we start making money?” 

This reminds me to the scene in the movie “Karate Kid”, where the coach who was training the kid, told him to put on his sweater, take it off and put it on the ground. 

And do that hundreds of times non stop. 

That was his training for many weeks.

But all the kid wanted to do was learn how to fight.

He did it anyways, deep down debating if it would work or not, and later realized that it was all about building momentum over time.

He then became a pro in Karate, and the foundation of his success was the sweater exercise. 

So…

I started by getting 5 new followers per day…

5 new people to my group per day…

5 new people to my email list per day…

Then 10, then 30, then 50, then 100…

After a little over a year of doing this I had thousands of followers, thousands of people in my group, and several hundreds or maybe over 1,000 in my email list.

By that point, making money became much easier.

I now had assets where people gave me their undivided attention. 

I kept doing that for years and years and built descent size assets.

 A % of the people that followed me knew me, liked me and trusted me.

Combined with my new abilities of paid ads, generating sales became easy.

So if right now your main focus should be:

- Get new followers

- Get people in your group

- Get people in your list 

Along the way you will be generating sales, as you talk with many of the people that follow you in any of those 3 places. 

You can use those sales to reinvest on ads to grow your assets even faster. 

Then you do this for a few years and your life will change.

You will have a solid business.

It's not a push button solution to make a quick buck.

But it works, and if you want it bad enough, and you have enough pain, you will do it until it works for you as well.

 Don’t lose focus with the new shiny objects.

Don’t jump from new business to new business.

You will never build momentum that way.

 It’s about doing the universally proven tasks every day UNTIL they work for you. 

You’re not an exception to the rule. 

If you get followers, build your group and build your list, you will make money.

Your circumstances are not special.

It’s like someone saying: 

“I think the gym won’t work for me…” 

What do you mean? 

The gym works for anyone that goes to the gym.

Take massive imperfect action. 

Put in the reps for enough time and your results will be programmed. 

Talk soon,
