I’m not supposed to do this. Which is exactly why I’m doing it. I’m running what the marketing experts would probably call a “promotion.” But let’s not kid ourselves… this is a bribe. I’m trying to hit 300 members inside Mindset Skool. We’re sitting at 281. Which means I’m 19 humans away from feeling extremely accomplished for absolutely no logical reason. So instead of running a normal sale like a respectable internet business person… I decided to do something irresponsible. The Bribe 👇 Normal price $49/month or $399/year Temporary ridiculous price (until we hit 300 members): $176 for the entire year Yes, that’s a 70% discount. Yes, you still get everything. Yes, you lock it in forever. No, I did not hit my head. When we hit 300 members, it goes back to $399 and this disappears forever like your motivation after watching 50 business videos without taking action. You're seeing this first because you're inside this group. That means you showed up and maybe you actually care. So... you get first dibs before I send this out to my email list with 6,500 subscribers who can't wait to get another "Brian email" [Insert Sarcasm]. Early bird gets the worm. Late bird pays full price. How To Take The Bribe👇 Step 1: Don’t overthink it. We don’t do that here. Step 2: Click this link here Step 3: Click “Join $49/mo” → switch to annual → grab the $176 annual plan Step 4: Reply to my DM so I can send you your 1:1 call link I made a super boring, non-sarcastic Loom walkthrough if you want the click-by-click instructions: 👉 Watch that here I will absolutely remind you again about this. Because reminders make people money. I teach you how to do that in Mindset Skool. You’re welcome in advance. Who's in on this? – Brian P.S. If you're already inside Mindset Skool, this offer applies to you. Simply upgrade your plan from monthly to annual. DM me if you need help figuring that out.

I’ve coached hundreds of people. I’ve had well over a thousand members come through my Skool communities. Almost every single one of them had a solid business idea. Some of them had great ideas. A few had ideas that made me think, “Dang, I wish I’d thought of that.” And yet most of them didn’t get traction. Not because their idea was bad. Not because they weren’t smart. Not because they didn’t have potential. It’s because they avoided the one thing that actually makes a business work. Traffic. Lead generation. Letting people knowing you exist. Everyone wants a way around this part. I did too. I spent years trying to find shortcuts, hacks, automation tricks, magic funnels, secret tactics… anything that meant I didn’t have to consistently put myself out there. None of it worked. I'm going to say this bluntly. If you’re not willing to consistently let people know your business exists, you don’t actually want a business. You might want the idea of a business. You might want the lifestyle. You might want the income. But you don’t want the responsibility. Because the responsibility is this: showing up every day and telling people what you do. That’s the job. And most are not willing to do it. Now here’s the part people usually expect me to sugarcoat, but I won’t. Traffic isn’t complicated. It’s just repetitive. - You talk about your offer. - You start conversations. - You follow up. - You invite people. - You post again. - You do it tomorrow. - Then again next week. - Then again next month. Eventually you can systematize it, automate pieces and hire help. But at the beginning? You are the marketing department. If reading that makes you tired, this probably isn’t your path. And that’s genuinely okay. Business isn’t required for a good life. But if you read that and thought, “Okay… just show me how to do it right,” then keep reading. Because I’m hosting a live workshop where I’m literally opening the hood and showing you exactly how I generate traffic. Not theory. Not slides. Not motivational fluff with a lame pitch at the end to buy more stuff. I don't do that.

Check out this video I made for you. I have a quick win to celebrate with you all: We just crossed 300 members in this community 🥳 It hasn't even been three months yet, making this the fastest I’ve ever built a community... and I’ve built four. Most of you found me through YouTube, and I’m incredibly grateful you’re here. But while the community is growing, I know many of you are still stuck in a cycle I know all too well. 𝐈’𝐯𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 "𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭-𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫" 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 I’ve been completely transparent about my past: 26 different side-hustle attempts in 14 years. I remember the gut-wrenching feeling of my wife looking at me - not with malice, but with genuine exhaustion - and asking, “Is this just the next ‘Brian thing’?”. I never stuck with anything because, honestly, I didn't know what to do. You might feel the same way right now: - Too many ideas blocking you from pulling the trigger. - Fear of wasting more time and energy on something that won't work. - Quietly fading away because you lack the support of a group. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐈𝐬 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 "𝐀𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞" I could just sell you a course and say, “Good luck,” but I know the likelihood of you actually finishing it is very low. I’m not playing that game anymore. It doesn't help you and it's not who I want to be. 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟗𝟎-𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝟏𝐬𝐭. This is a separate, private community where I will personally lead you through five clear steps. It is designed for people with 9-5 jobs and/or busy lives who need to end the overthinking and analysis paralysis. By the end of the 90 days, you will have a validated paid offer. By "validated," I mean real human beings (not AI) have raised their hands and said your idea is something they are willing to pay for. This will be a paid offer, and it will not be made available to the public. I’m not running ads or building a public funnel for this. The only way to get the details is to join the waitlist. Joining the waitlist is not a commitment to buy; it’s just you saying, "I want to learn more about this".

If you’ve been sitting on this longer than you expected to… this will probably feel uncomfortably accurate. At some point, the problem stopped being ideas. You have plenty of those. The problem became deciding which one is worth committing to without the fear that you’re about to waste another chunk of your life chasing the wrong thing. That fear is real. It usually comes from experience. If you’ve tried something before that didn’t work, your brain learns the wrong lesson. Instead of “I need better execution,” it decides, “I need more certainty next time.” So you research more. You watch more videos. You refine the idea before you ever test it. You wait for clarity to show up before you move. Here’s the part most people don’t want to hear, but eventually have to accept: Clarity does not come before commitment. It shows up because of it. Every meaningful shift I’ve made — and every real win I’ve watched other people make — started the same way. Not with confidence. Not with a perfect plan. It started with a time-boxed decision. A defined window where the goal wasn’t to be right forever, but to get real feedback. The mistake is treating a business decision like a permanent identity change. It’s not. It’s an experiment. One that only works if you actually run it. What keeps people stuck isn’t lack of intelligence or effort. It’s trying to avoid regret by never fully choosing. The irony is that this creates the exact outcome you’re trying to prevent: more time lost, more frustration, and more self-doubt. If you’re reading this and thinking, “Yeah… this is me,” then here’s a better question to sit with today: What is one direction you could commit to for the next 90 days, not because you’re certain it will work, but because you’re willing to let reality answer the question? That’s the shift. From “I need to be sure” to “I’m willing to test.” I’ve been talking for a bit about something I’ve been building that’s designed specifically around this problem — not motivation, not ideas, but structured commitment with a clear start and finish.

If you’re wondering what kind of lead magnet actually converts, this is a real-world breakdown from a creator who built a 10,000+ email list, launched a $24K course, and used that momentum to grow a top-ranking Skool community. One of the biggest questions I see inside my communities is: “What kind of lead magnet actually works?” Not hypothetically. Not “best practices.” But what’s converting right now. So this week, I’m bringing in someone who has real answers. Live Community Training — Wednesday, Feb 11 @ 11:30am CT Sookie O’Very will be headlining our monthly community call inside Mindset Skool. If you’ve seen the interview I did with her, you already know the headline: - She launched a course and made $24,000 - She built an email list of 10,000+ - She did it using YouTube + lead magnets - And then built her Skool community around that momentum (now ranking on page two of discovery) On this call, she’s breaking down: - What she used early on (and why it sucked 😅) - What she uses now - What’s actually converting - Screen-share, real examples - Open Q&A How to attend 👇 This call is happening inside Mindset Skool. If you join using the 7-day free trial, you can attend live. 👉 Important timing note: If you join by Monday, you also get access to my brand-new 5-Day “E-Word” Challenge. What’s the E-Word Challenge?
