MOTM #708: My Surprise Signature Offer

I have a brand new offer (surprise!) and it’s not one I sought out to make. I had been thinking about creating some sort of new offer as I phased out my Instagram Intensive, but nothing felt right until I helped out a few people with their messaging and surprised even myself with how much […]

The world is on fire, yet here we are posting about our little internet businesses. It can feel awkward and incongruent to just keep posting about your offers while shit is falling down around us, but what else is there to do? If you’re like me, you’re here to make an impact in one way […]

Posting on Instagram is like playing the slots in Vegas—if you’re expecting to win anything substantial, you’re gonna have a bad time. The algorithms are constantly changing, so trying to understand or gamify it is a losing battle. What did well before won’t do well now, and it probably won’t do well later… until it […]

There will always be pushback from the people that benefit from the current systems of power, but you’re a good person, and […]

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 […]

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.
