UP FRONT:

The Strategy That’s Guiding Our Future:

Publishing Can Be the Key to Your Business & Lifestyle Freedom.

Ever wonder why I started this newsletter?

To be totally honest, newsletters can be seriously profitable.

There have been some notable 6 and 7-figure exits over the past few years…not to mention the huge number of revenue paths that free newsletters can provide to you.

After over 4 decades of teaching entrepreneurs worldwide, I’ve seen firsthand how publishing a newsletter can transform a business.

A newsletter can be the easiest way to attract new prospects (think about it—the newsletter is a “give”, not a take!).

Earlier this year, I even ran a wildly successful 5-Day Launch Your Newsletter Challenge (though, no plans for another one anytime soon—if ever).

So, what about you? How can you unlock the freedom a newsletter can offer?

One of my good friends and mentors, Perry Belcher, is running a killer training on how to launch a newsletter using AI (and trust me, you don’t need to be a writer!).

I’m on a cruise with Perry right now, and he’s been telling me about his plans. Let me just say—OMG, it’s going to blow your mind!

Here’s the thing: when you become a publisher, the perks are endless. You could even score free entry to events with a Press Pass (hello, VIP life!).

I’m backing Perry’s training 100%, and I’ll be there too.

I already publish a few newsletters, and I’m thinking of adding more—his strategies are THAT good.

My mission is to help you create the lifestyle you’ve always dreamed of—travel the world and have the financial freedom to enjoy it.

For me, publishing is the way to do it.

Join me next week for Perry’s training and see if this path resonates with you.

THIS WEEK’S QUIZ:

STRATEGIC THINKING:

What a Drag Queen Can Teach You About Sales

It takes a strong personality to be a drag queen.

They’re typically bold, sometimes brazen, mastering the art of performance and audience engagement.

And they take their work seriously—some even make significant incomes from it. Just ask RuPaul!

Yet, when out of drag, they can be quiet and reserved. The “act” is part of the job.

Don’t think it’s just a gay thing, either. Remember the iconic Dame Edna? Barry Humphries played that role with legendary success and was not gay.

At the Broken Heel Festival this week, there was no shortage of drag professionals (doesn’t that sound more elegant?). Each one showcased their talents, selling their unique brand of fabulous with every performance.

Even offstage, the performers were on—posing for photos, engaging with the audience, and continuously selling their brand.

It’s no different for those of us who run businesses (and even if you’re an employee, you ARE running a business—you’re selling your services to the company that pays you).

When you go to work, you put on your work persona.

To be successful, you’ve got to promote yourself, navigate daily challenges, and lead—whether it's with your team, clients, suppliers, or anyone else you connect with.

Drag performers face rejection and disapproval regularly.

So do salespeople.

But successful salespeople shrug off the fear and keep going. They focus on the end result: a strong performance and closed sales.

Yesterday my mom and I were at the cruise ship dock in Cancun and experienced some of the best salespeople on the planet.

These professionals literally have seconds to grab the attention of cruise passengers as they disembark their ships…and convince them to hear a sales pitch.

They’re met with countless rejections every hour!

Yet they battle on day in, day out. Just as you do as an entrepreneur.

NOTE: Frankly, if you’re looking to hire great salespeople, consider these folks—they don’t know the meaning of “no”—and are elegant in the way they work to overcome objections!

Here are two key takeaways:

1. Drag professionals truly are professionals. We can learn a lot from them about presentation skills and tenacity. Take them seriously!

2. You’re always selling—your ideas, your products, your perspectives. When you’re in sales mode, channel your inner Drag Queen or King. Step into a state of confidence and leadership.

Bottom line: Embrace the fabulousness that you are and don’t let ANYONE rain on your parade!

NEED COPY HELP?

Yesterday I offered to help a couple of people with their copy needs. Great copy is the most important part of communication—

If they don’t read your message, you don’t have a message!

So…if you’re having issues with your message and your copy, consider being one of the two people I select to work with.
