Advice to a YOLO internet wantrepreneur...
Rewind 11 years back - TVA forbidden.
Let’s rewind time 11 years back…
Boom…
It’s 2013, and a young man named Brand gets dumped.
Feels bad but I don’t blame the girl.
She’s a Christian and looking for long-term family life.
He’s a momma’s boy who doesn’t know what the hell he wants.
I’ll save you the details but Brand decides,
“F*** it. She don’t know what she’s missing. I’m gonna get jacked…”
Dude didn’t realize he was about to change his life…for the better.
This change was far sweeter than revenge.
I first wanted to become an Internet Entrepreneur 6 months after starting my fitness journey.
Watching my role model fitness YouTubers like Elliot Hulse, Omar Isuf, and Kinobody.
I wanted their lifestyle.
Recording fitness videos for a living.
Teaching others how to get in shape.
Walking around looking like a Greek statue.
Getting paid over 6-figures of internet money.
What 20-year-old wouldn't?
At 30, my perspective has shifted (drastically).
Thank God for that spark, I built the body, confidence, career, and family I wanted.
But starting an online business…took far too long!
My biggest problem?
The wrong mindset.
Because a mindset block makes you inefficient, adding two shackles to your legs.
Low confidence and doubt.
They stop you from becoming the person who lives your dream life.
If I could rewind time, here's what I'd tell that punk:
Fail more.
You don’t learn by thinking, you learn by doing ma boy.
No more YouTube learning procrastination buddy. You want just-in-time information, not just-in-case.
Holy crap!
And if you fail enough, you just might discover you didn't want that thing after all.
But wait a decade to act, and you're gonna have to do it over again only to find out what you would've known sooner.
Like many of us, Brand lacked one important thing:
Focus.
Do you ever wish you could go back in time and tell yourself a thing or two?
I’m no Dr. Strange but let me show you the system I’d give him if I could (just don’t get caught by the TVA — Marvel reference).
It’s called the 5 Pillars of Performance and Purpose:
I created this for clarity on my business and I think you’ll get a lot of insights from it too.
Stay focused,
Brand M.
P.S.
You can skip the timeline and learn what young Brand wishes he knew by grabbing the Focus Fix here.
I made it for internet creatives like you to get high-quality work done in less time (without the shackles of distraction like social media).
Next week I’ll share the overview and first stage of the process in more detail.
