I don’t think we want to “retire.” What we REALLY want is… …to learn to relax and discover who we really are. TIP: We don’t have to wait. We can relax before we’ve got fifty-eleven million in Schwab. The “money” is just an excuse to keep us busy… So busy it stops us from facing our fear of looking inward and living our authentic lives NOW. Agree? Disagree? 👇 Rooting For Ya, Travis

It's just not their jam. My creative genius friend and colleague @Honey Syed ...has figured out something super cool for his community. He gets other peeps to contribute. He gets other peeps to do ALL of the selling...(in a super cool way too) He collects RECURRING commish. ...and never has to sell or pitch anything. Here's what he's up to... In most communities, the leader is running one "STORE." They are like store owners who have to do EVERYTHING... ...including 100% of the SELLING But... @Honey Syed runs his community more like a MALL OWNER. He owns the "mall" and carefully selects store owners who have what his community NEEDS. He lets them set up "shop." His shop owners do 100% of the selling. And then he gets a FAT percentage of everything they sell. (Up to 50%) His shop owners are INCENTIVIZED to provide CONTENT in his communities so they get more traffic to their "store." Pretty dang cool, huh? I don't know for sure... But... From my own experience... Most community owners would make far MORE money... With a "Mall Model" and getting 30% to 50% of 3, 5 or more STORES than they would running just ONE of their own. Trying to do 100% of the selling and delivering, etc. Especially if selling isn't their jam. Of course... The community leader can have their own store if they WANT to do some selling too. With the Mall Model... They don't HAVE TO! Now... I know there are a lot more details. I've asked @Honey Syed if he'd be open to sharing his Mall Model with you (in depth) I'm thinking... "IF" there's enough interest... ...we could do an EVERYONE CAN WIN AUCTION? If we did it... 👉👉👉Would you bid $1? 👇👇👇

So I am not a great copywriter, nor do I wanna be one. I want to have a load of fun and make some money then go chase my kids around. I have a partner in the fitness space, big influencer big audience, good offer. I was tasked with promoting the last email offer. So instead of just firing out some emails I used the LOD workshop skills, I got some IOI's and then got all the replies, threw some Taylor Swift of and started going through them. The gold that came out of that… I'm still using it now. Ideas for posts. Angles for offers. The exact words they use when they're stuck. It just kept giving. The campaign landed the way it did because of that bit. Not because of the emails. Not because of the offer structure. Because I knew exactly what they wanted before I wrote a single word. When you know that… writing becomes almost easy. You're not guessing what to say anymore. You're just saying back what they've already told you. Do you do this before you run a promo? Or do you go straight to the campaign?

I’ve read almost every popular personal finance book. And some unpopular ones too. I think most of the authors mean well. But… For most business owners… Especially internet based biz owners… Most of the personal finance rules RUIN a biz person’s chance at true financial independence. This is why… …even though biz owners make more than the average, they often don’t have much to show for it except higher levels of stress, family discord and health issues. So… I thought maybe? It might be useful to dissect some of the “popular” personal finance philosophy. Rules? Or Ruin? If this would be helpful… Sound off by sharing a common piece of personal finance you were “taught.” 👇 Rooting for Ya, Travis PS The “rule” that I followed which semi-retired me at 38, I’ve never found in a personal finance book!
