I officially quit my job last week and got a first gig as of today: long term agreement on freelance base for Creative Strategy. 24 -32h a week for 6k (euros) + performance bonuses. I put in the work to learn CS these last few months and started to outreach in the beginning of June. Very excited!!

I was confused for a whole two months whether to upgrade or not. I was crying because the card from India was not being accepted. My father gave me his card without asking anything. He said, "You never asked for anything. I don't know what you are doing, but I know you will put in the work, whatever it takes." I went through all the free course and realized how valuable it is. $50 is a big amount for us South Asians. It's like one-sixth of our monthly income. Now I know it's actually serious because I have put in money to save my time. Now it's my responsibility, solely, to do whatever it takes. End of the blame game because I got what I needed.

NO WINNER AGAIN (Weekly Engagement Competition): @Shafaq Kazmi got close but it wasn't enough to beat @Waisale Naqiolevu who's a previous engagement competition winner. Pro tip: “You Can Have Everything In Life You Want, If You Will Just Help Enough Other People Get What They Want.” – Zig Ziglar *** THE TRUTH ABOUT FREE SAUCE Look closely at the screenshot I've attached. This is what happens when you give away courses for free. I could click on any random free member of Copywriting Launchpad and this is what their course completion page will look like. The same thing happened when I had a free plan in my other community platform. We got over 1300+ signups and only 9% completed the material. And I knew this was going to happen, even after we moved to Skool. I know you are going to sign up because it's free and then do nothing with the resources I give you. I used to care. I don't anymore. Whoever wants to succeed at copywriting will succeed, even if the only resource he or she has access to is YouTube. Whoever wants to LARP as a copywriter will keep doing that, no matter how many resources he or she's given, free or paid. *** IF YOU WANT TO BE AN EXPERT AT SELLING TO WOMEN Watch this video (tap the link) then follow the instructions I've given you.

I have some new statics to look at. Now, these are specifically made to be 'bizarre', a way to stop the scroll. I also have other ones that are more regular, but these I wanted checked.

"Make no mistake, you'll get your hands dirty just like the rest of us." - Bottles, Shot Caller (2017) Outreach: 0 Proposals: 0 Meetings: 0 Coffees: 2 Diet Cokes: 4 Clients: 4 - 3 x lead Gen, 1 x FB ad creative strategy Courses: 1 - Alex Myatt CS Academy (finishing soon) Cognition: Friday/10 Energy: Friday/10 Today: - Did IVOC research, FBAD table, and Mass Desire to Performance table for foldable fishing rod for Creative Strategy Academy. Manual research took 2.5 hours and Claude stuff took another hour to get right. Slow. - Spent wayyy too long trying to build a Skill that normalizes data sets. I often pull contacts from Clay, AI Ark, or some franken-vibe Python script. So, I'll have 2-3 sheets with similar data but different column headers (labels). And then, I have to mash them into one table. Need to speed up this process and improve QA. Slow. - 500+ leads for CRO agency . Took Dripify out of the campaign martech stack. Best practices only work when times are good. Enriched leads website email & business phone number to try the front door first. Didn't do lead scoring bc it's busy work for dorks. DORKS! Last thing was set up an Oregon hobo-rig pipeline in GHL and "Not Interested Now" deal stage automation. More on that below. "Not Interested Now" Deal Stage automation for Book-a-Call funnels: 1. Create "Not Interested Now" deal stage in pipeline (GHL, Hubspot, etc) 2. Contacts can re-enter flow & goal is moving them to any other deal stage 3. Trigger = contacts enter "Not Interested Now" deal stage 4. Delay = Set for 3 months 5. Notification = send email & Slack notification to Contact Owner (sales team member) 6. Email says, "Hey such-and-such needs a follow up. You moved them to this stage on [date entered workflow] so they may be ready now. If they are not ready yet but still interested, leave them in the "Not Interested Now" deal stage and you'll get another reminder in 3 more months. If they are interested, move them to the appropriate deal stage manually. They have entered this workflow [number of times entered workflow]"
