I just witnessed one of the most impactful moments I have had in this community, and I had to share it. Another member was asking about various tools & automation strategies, when @Andrewย Naegele delivered a GUT-PUNCHING response that literally stopped me in my tracks... The insight that hit hardest to me.. "If you ARE NOT HITTING $5K monthly, you need to strip away ALL distractions and focus solely on THREE core activities - content that resonates with YOUR journey, direct (DM's) conversations with potential clients, and getting on sales calls. THAT'S IT!! EVERYTHING else is just some F*KIN noise." or Andrew said something like that...
idk if that is word for word, but still got me to switch my "job" work to pay attention.
Andrew shared how he generated $68K in just 30 days with a new offer. His secret?
No fancy tools. No automation. Just a calendar link and his consistent action. He sent 100-200 direct messages daily, provided genuine value in social media group conversations, and focused on building real relationships. THAT IT... like dang, $68K in just 30 days...
What truly struck me was his emphasis on the fundamentals. While many of us (myself included) get caught up searching for the "perfect tool" or the "next shiny object," Andrew reinforced that old age truth that success comes from doing the basic work consistently and well.

- Revenue-generating activities should consume 90% of your time before $5K monthly
- A website, chatbot, or automation won't help if nobody knows who you are (Confirmation for me)
- Success isn't about having the best tools - it's about having the most conversations
- The path to growth is through helping people solve real problems, not chasing shortcuts
His point was crystal clear and I mean if you were on the call...Andrew was CRYSTAL CLEAR:

The tools and fancy expense gadgets can come later, after you've proven your model works.
This was a great reminder for me and I need that tough conversation. Thanks Andrew for being straight to the point, I enjoyed that.
Question for the group --- What "shiny objects" or distractions have you been focusing on that you need to set aside to focus on pure revenue-generating activities?
I'd love to hear your honest thoughts below ๐
