I found out that some old-school copywriter sent out an email to his list, bashing me and crapping on networking and masterminds.š¤
It was super random since I donāt know this person at allā¦
But it ticked me off a lot.š¤Ø
Not because he bashed meā¦
But because the guyās advice in his email was just so damn wrong.Ā
Honestly, his whole email made him look pretty badā¦
He came across like a grumpy old curmudgeonā¦š”
Like the stereotype of the āold dogā who is incapable of learning any new tricksā¦
And who, worse still, refuses to believe any new tricks could even exist.
So anyway, I didnāt want to engage with this person directlyā¦
But I did make a video where I share the email he sent…
And then break down all of the reasons that networking and masterminds can change your life.
If you want to check it out, itās on my Facebook, and hereās a link to see it.Ā
So that was the āweirdestā part of the dayā¦
But there was some really good stuff too.
For one thing, many of you on my email list came up big for me.
What am I referring to?
I asked those on my list to hit āreplyā and share any wins Iād helped them to getā¦
Because my PR team has been pitching the Media on interviewing me about freelancing.
This is an area thatās super near-and-dear to my heartā¦Ā
Especially with whatās been going on with COVIDā¦
And so many people needing to find new ways to make a living.
I really want to share tips and wins with as many folks as possibleā¦
And thanks to the dozens of incredible replies I got from many of youā¦
Weāre a lot closer to making that happenā¦
Because check this out:Ā
Yesterday my PR Team secured an on-camera interview for me on the nationally syndicated TV Show called āThe Listāā¦
And then this morning I got an email from my team saying they secured an interview for me with Business Insider.
So a nationally syndicated TV Show and an interview on a website with 76 million unique visitors per monthā¦
All in the span of about 24 hoursā¦
Not too shabby.
Itās almost like having a good network is valuable or somethingā¦
But donāt tell that hater I mentioned at the beginning of this post!

Okay and then point #3 in this blog postā¦
Ian Stanley and I worked on a Freelancing Course (as you probably know).
If you want to whet your appetiteā¦
You can also check out this video.
What is that video?
Itās me and Ian talking about freelancing, entrepreneurship, mindset and moreā¦
While flying on a private jet from New York to Las Vegas.
I cringe a little when I share thisā¦
Because I mean, private jet videos are kind of douchey, right?
At the end of the day thoughā¦
I think thereās a TON of valuable stuff in this videoā¦
And since we spent all that money on the flight anywaysā¦
We figured we might as well turn the camera on and record our conversationā¦
That way we could provide others with actionable strategies around getting clients and more.

And I guess thatās about it for now.
I hope you have a great day. š

P.S. Oh yeah, why did I refer to myself as a ācharlatanā in the subject line of this post?
Pretty simple:
A friend of mine responded to that āhater emailā from the old school copywriterā¦
And basically said āyouāre probably picking the wrong guy to target.ā
The grumpy old copywriter responded and threw a bunch more shade on meā¦
Then ended with a quote from Clayton Makepeace that goes:Ā
āRight now, the Internet is crawling with charlatans claiming to be the greatest copywriter alive ā and then urging you to pay them a fortune for their books and courses. Many are complete frauds ā scam artists who have never had a single hot control for a major mailer ā looking to make a quick buck off of you.ā
Sums up what this writer thinks about me, and how he views my intentions…
But I have always liked the word ācharlatanāā¦
So I figured Iād just go ahead and appropriate it for myself š
