Update

The good, bad and ugly

When starting this newsletter I had one goal…

To make it as ‘real’ as I possibly could.

As real as I would like the people who inspire me to make their ‘stuff.’

Some are incredible at this.

Some not so much.

So, gonna share a few takeaways…

Of building the start of a 100k p/month community.

What I’ve already discovered…

And the actions I’ve taken because of it.

So, at the beginning of the year I had:

  • A deal in place for 25% of a business with a revenue of nearly 2 million

  • Another equity deal ready to sign for 20% consulting business

  • 3 well-known clients who wanted my team’s skillset

I said NO to all.

I REALLY don’t say this lightly.

They would’ve been dream opportunities for me a couple of years back.

And a few people thought I was slightly insane.

They would’ve even been ‘good choices’ had I decided to move forward.

But I don’t want ‘good.’

Why?

Because none of those opportunities would make me spring out of bed at 5.30am.

Every morning…

With 5 kids - one of which is teething lol

The DM Edge Elite - My community - That gets me up without pressing the snooze button.

Even if I’m camped out at 1.30am in little Blake’s room getting him to drift off…

(like last night)

5.45 hits and I got sh*t to do.

It feels non-negotiable.

And that’s because it is.

You don’t build a 100k p/month business by thinking “I’ll do it tomorrow”

So, my advice?

Whenever you’re taking on opportunities this year…

Instead of asking whether it would be a ‘profitable venture’

Ask yourself if it’s something you’d be willing to lose an hour or 2 of sleep on for a year every single day.

If it isn’t - why are you doing it?

And, this community - this labour of love I’m building - has 2 spots left for this intake.

I want to get to 20 Founding Members.

(18th members signed over the weekend - see the group here - DM Edge Elite)

The vibe & results we’re already seeing are insane

(Especially for the ‘Founding Members’ price point)…

Reply with ‘Edge’ and I’ll get you over the details..

What you can achieve within the group WILL make you want to get up at 5.45…

Especially after our 1:1 when we lay out your plan of action!

Here’s to an awesome week :)
