In a thread from last week, @Neil Sutton wrote: === I’ve been in some accountability groups that were very successful. It’s not an “all of us” getting together kinda thing, but those created an opportunity to bond with and become friends with people I might never had met otherwise. The best one was when I was in Brian Kurtz’s Titans group. He assigned the groups of 3 or 4 then we went off on our own and met monthly. We came up with 3 questions we took turns answering in each call and the others would offer feedback and support if needed. It was definitely optional. You put your name in to be assigned to a group if interested. Then you'd be grouped with a few others. I had to look back, and there were just four groups of 3 each. (I was teamed up with the amazing Kira Hug & Shannon McCaffrey.) === Are you interested in this? More importantly, will you actually participate? I'm happy to put the pods together. But ultimately, this is about you, and having a regular little mini-mastermind with two or three other folks in this group, and helping each other out, and socializing, and keeping each other on track. It won't work unless you participate, and regularly. So do you want this? Let me know below.

Yesterday this group had 483 members. Today it has 474*. Over the past 24 hours, I've removed 10 people from this group, following up on this discussion on written rules. As proof, I am attaching 10 "churned" profiles of former House members, with yesterday's churn date. I'm not holding up these removed ex-members to shame them. I have nothing against them personally. But rules are rules, and Daily Email House has its rules. As a few people commented in the discussion I linked to above: Enforcement is key. No sense in having rules if you're not going to enforce them. I'd also add, not only is enforcement key... but public enforcement is key. Yeah, maybe somehow you project a different vibe if you have rules and you stick to them in private, behind the curtain, where only you and the person you're dealing with are privy to what went down. But it helps the objective of the rules massively if you make a public showing of enforcing rules. That way, the rules don't just punish the transgressors, but are a reminder and an encouragement and even a reward for everyone else who did not transgress. This doesn't apply to just kicking people out of communities for not engaging: - It's the same thing with deadlines for your promos to your email list - It's the same when dealing with disrespectful readers or clients or partners - It's the same for turning someone away from your offers, because he or she is not going to get value out of those offers, and you've set a policy for yourself to not sell to people like that In each case, enforcement is key... and public enforcement is the Golden Key. (*) Daily Email House yesterday had 483 members... minus the 10 members I removed makes 473... and yet the group now has 474 members? A few days ago, I finally filled out the necessary fields to make this group discoverable via the Skool discovery network. Today a dude found Daily Email House via Skool, and asked to join.

This Thursday at 8pm CET/2pm EST/11am PST, I'll get on Zoom for a bit of Daily Email Open House: To hang out, maybe have a beer, and answer questions about sending daily emails... making a $1k+ offer... and using your list to pay for a house. If you'd like to join me, here's where to sign up: Daily Email Open House

We need a thread for gratuitous fun: Stuff that has nothing to do with marketing, business, copy, daily emails... but that is fun for fun's sake. (Even a little bit of fun is better than none.) I'd like to kick things off with the attached (and real, not AI) photo of a beaver, which I put in an email a long time ago, apropos of nothing. If you have jokes, funny pictures, memes, ideas for "disconnected infotainment," put 'em in here. On Fridays... or really on any other days.

What's the one thing that, if you could get rid of it, would catapult you to success in the next 90 days? I asked myself this question yesterday. As usual, I didn't have a good answer. So I made a list of 10 possible answers (actually ended up 11). I personally found some interesting stuff at points 9 and 11: #9. Lack of focus on the things that have made me money, and doing more of that, instead of experimenting with new things all the time #11. Lack of followup with people who have expressed interest in an outcome What's your one thing (or 11), that, if you could get rid of it, would catapult you to success in the next 90 days?
