We've ghostwritten & published hundreds of books filled with stories that have made me laugh, cry, and provide a fresh perspective on life. But THIS book.... this is one that had me on the edge of my seat and never let go.

If you watched those people fall out of the sky from the airplane in Afghanistan or if you've seen the movie "Argo" you will absolutely LOVE this tale of courage, determination, humor and freedom.

Unbreakable: Surviving The Fall of Afghanistan Unbreakable: Surviving The Fall of Afghanistan

A few years ago, I tore my ACL.

My ortho surgeon was the same guy who the Chicago White Sox used, so I believed I was in good hands.

After the surgery and 8 weeks of rehab, a shocking realization started to well up in my gut.

Walking down the stairs was difficult.
Putting on my socks required effort.
Heck, I may never run again.

To say I was frustrated would be a gross understatement.

Fortunately, one of my clients, Ed Strachar - Author/Spiritual Healer, suggested he might be able to help.
..energetically.

"What the what?"

How do you heal a knee with a large part of the meniscus removed?

What possible remedy would work better than the orthopedic surgeon from a major league ball team?

Yeah... I was skeptical.

But, I was also in pain every waking hour. "May as well give it a shot," I thought.

What happened in the next 10 days was unbelievable. If it didn't happen to me personally, I would probably dismiss this.

Well, tonight at 8 PM EST, I'll be livestreaming with Ed & dr. Matt Jagels to discuss what we did to heal my knee. Equally important, we'll discuss the additional benefits to my life, business, and overall health from his methodology.

Why I Think You Should Go Broke In The Early Days Building Your Business, Well, Not Exactly…

(This is a repost from a group by Anik Singal)

But Seriously, for a minute, FORGET REVENUE - And, Launch With CONTENT…

I know. This is blasphemy for direct marketers. And trust me, this didn’t come naturally for me at first either. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done…

In my opinion, the #1 way to launch any business in today’s age (of crazy competition and very connected consumers) is with CONTENT - not by making an OFFER.

Not forever, just a short time to get things going.
…delayed gratification.

First…
- Deliver value…
- Create a connection…
- Give away your best stuff for free…
- And walk away WITHOUT making an offer…

I get it. You’re thinking Anik has finally lost his damn mind. We direct marketers have been taught for DECADES that every launch should focus on fast ROI. “Monetize those leads as quickly as possible.”

But if you want to build a business that can truly SCALE, you need to ditch that thinking. Get out of the “make money as fast as possible” mindset.

Get into the “build value” one.
Don’t worry - the revenue will follow. But it should NOT be the first priority. Or even the second honestly.
Here’s how I’m doing this right now…
When I decided to launch my new compliance business, I followed this gameplan…
#1 - Target the right market.
#2 - Identify their ONE core problem.
#3 - Start building my community.
#4 - Create a TON of valuable content for FREE.
#5 - Connect and be as personal as possible.
#6 - Pre-tease my launches with VALUABLE content.
#7 - Launch.

If you’ve been following closely in this group, none of that should surprise you. I’ve been doing it for MONTHS with my compliance business.

And I haven’t sold ONE DAMN THING yet. What have I done?
- I’ve launched my FREE podcast and released hours of content…
- I’ve posted tons of CONTENT in this group that’s actionable and comes from experience…
- I’ve been painfully open and personal about my story and struggles…
- I’ve booked DOZENS of guest spots on other podcasts to grow my audience…
- I’ve sponsored events and shaken as many hands as possible…

None of that has brought in revenue. It’s actually cost me quite a bit.

What have I done?
- Created community…
- Built trust & credibility with my audience…
- Creating EXCITEMENT about what’s coming…

Now, it’ll pay off when I launch my new book funnel (low ticket) and my brand-new compliance software (high-ticket).
It’s that delayed gratification (and revenue) that we’re after.

Scalable businesses in 2024 need a FOUNDATION. I’ve found the best way to build that foundation is to create and foster an absolutely amazing community.

- It’s exactly what I did with Lurn…
- It’s what I did with Expert Scale and the Board of Experts…
- And now I’m doing it again with compliance and “Don’t Say That!”

You have the game plan. Put it into action.
Alright, be honest. Did you think I was absolutely crazy when I started this post? How unnatural does it feel to put off revenue when launching?

I’m dying to know what you guys think about this strategy. Let me know in the comments!

There are probably 4,324 books from CEO's, founders, and business leaders. Many of the lessons from the classics still apply today.

Many others do not.

I am working on a book by and for the leaders of successful, privately held-firms.

What topic would you want to cover?

If you could interview an INC 5000 CEO what would you ask?

I need your help with finding the right CRM. We are looking for software that has built in integrations without using Zapier if possible.

👉 Calendly
👉 CRM
👉 Zoom
👉 Physical mail
👉 Pandadoc
👉 Active Campaign (or similar)

We currently use Active Campaign and it works great. However, we'd like to integrate Linkedin & physical mail into a single platform.

BONUS: If you (or someone you know) can set up all of this for us, you'll earn big karma points or a box of cookies!

We are set to demonstrate our lightning-fast process of creating an eBook, website, press release, audiobook, and building a massive 100,000+ person database... all in UNDER AN HOUR. Yes, you read that right!

Join us on May 30 for an exclusive webinar where we'll unveil a powerful strategy on how to pre-sell your book BEFORE it's even written.
