Coffee With Dan

What does it take to ‘make it’

What you see infront of you is a rough half of the books, courses, marketing materials, mastermind notes and 34 A4 books of hand written copy

This represents around 3 years of consistent boring, daily, no break work

When you add the cost of it all up?

It’s probably around $200k with masterminds and 121 coaching as well

But when I started?

I had nothing

But when I made money?

I invested

It stated off with $10-30 ebooks….

Then $100 courses and membership sites….

Then $1000 courses and coaching calls…..

Then $10000 masterminds…..

Then a 6 figure investment in coaching and mentoring….

(And throw in my Amazon 1-click obsession too – many of which you see before you)

Now, when I started there were a few folk worldwide who I became friends with: some of us have become very successful

Some of us are basically the same as where they were 3 years ago

The difference?

Implementation

I would do a course – then use it

Take a coaching call – do as I was told

Go to a mastermind – take a few nuggets and run with them

I stress this over and over again:

I’m
Not
Special

But I am someone who is willing to put in the work, make the necessary sacrifices and refuse to give up

Lots and lots of failures

Lots of stress

Lots of grind

But now?

Hardly any

That is because I am willing to do what is needed to be done in the short term to give me the life I want – aka the long term

Some preach ease and flow, you don’t need the grind, etc

And if it’s working for them?

Awesome

However the most that rebel against hard work (even for, in the grand scheme of thing, a short time) are generally quite poor and the ones who REALLY need you to get on a strategy call with them…like…NOW!

So in closing

Always be learning – never stop – become a student of life

But there is a time you are going to have to put the book down….

Turn off the podcast….

Close the notebook….

And crack the fuck on

Because if you don’t?

There’s some horrible little fucker like me who isn’t as smart as you, isn’t as talented as you, isn’t as gifted as you – but will simply have got started while your thinking about it; and by the time you are ‘ready’ – we will have already signed up your people’s
