MOTM #701: Is Online Business Just an MLM?

In an MLM (or any pyramid scheme for that matter) most people are losing money, and only those at the very top stand to gain anything. Is online business the same thing? It certainly can be! When money is made by selling the idea of money, shit gets sticky. And while financial success isn’t guaranteed […]

If you want more followers, you need to be a leader. Look, we’re in an epidemic of cowardice so when someone has the gall to stand for something, they stand out. When I look around at the current “leadership” online—and in the “real” world for that matter—there are no morals and no integrity to be […]

The Maestro Mafia is getting an update and by that I mean that it’s mostly staying the same—we’re just doubling down on everything that makes the Mafia so special.

2026 is just a few short weeks away so I wanted to chat about my online business predictions for the upcoming year and—spoiler alert—they look a hell of a lot alike the predictions I made going in to 2024. Change is hard and it takes a long-ass time, so let that be a sign to […]

If you want to do some serious growing, you’re going to have to slow down for a time. It’s like a slingshot—you’ve gotta pull the rubberneck backwards before there’s any forward acceleration. Slowing down can feel like losing, so before you quit in the slow down, make sure you give yourself enough time and a […]

We all know that change takes time, but sometimes we underestimate how long that time really will be, or we let the fact that it does take so long sabotage us—maybe we start out strong, but when we don’t see results ASAP, we slip back into old habits. That’s why the real secret to making […]

There’s plenty of talk about what we might be missing in our relationships, but do you sometimes feel like you’re missing something in your business?
