So I thought the whole "paid newsletter" thing was dumb.
So naturally, I tried it out as an experiment.. The results were kinda nutty. The newsletter started bringing home $49k per month (!) -- Here's the backstory
"what was the newsletter about?"
Well - for the past year, I've been doing a podcast called My First Million. Gimmicky name, but whatever.
It's a pod where me and @theSamParr (and friends like @awilkinson @_jacksmith etc.) brainstorm business ideas based on trends we see
Anyways - the podcast has gotten pretty big. We do over 350k downloads/month.
People like listening to us shoot the shit, brainstorming ideas.
But as the nearest schmuck will tell you - ideas aren't shit without execution!
The problem is - execution is less sexy.
Usually when people talk about execution, it's in the past tense. We did X, and voila, we won.
They edit & cut out all the dead ends they hit, the stuff they tried that failed.
This gives people a f*cked up idea of what execution really is.
Still - there's demand for learning how to execute better.
The number one question I get in my DMs everyday is: "I love that idea from the pod, how would you approach it?"
There's no simple answer. So for months I just ignored them.
