Had to check if we'd ever crossed this threshold In December we did a handful of 9k order days with our peak hitting 9,631 orders in a day... so close 🤏
You know a big number? I'll tell you one. Three weeks ago, on a Sunday… We were pacing towards 10,000 initial sales in a single day from an ad that had launched three days prior on a Thursday. I've told the story a couple times because it would have been a PR The only guys I know that ran bigger numbers were Jump, hitting Gundry's probiotic. That was like a goal of mine forever I've been in the game a long time and I've thrown some big numbers but this was about to be a big number I've shared the story with a few people and they've all asked, "How did you do it?" And when I think about how we actually did it, there were some nuances about the video. We did this, we did that. There was some secret sauce to be clear but It was one base video, five hooks, three ad accounts Side note: the only reason we didn't hit 10,000 is because we had daily caps on the three ad accounts that I wasn't paying attention to so we were clipped by noon EST But then when they're like, "What's the cheat code? How did you actually do it?" Well some of its luck. Let's not be confused; however luck is not a strategy There are only two ways we got it done I spent more hours practicing the piano than you have You were at the nightclub in your 30s. I was on my computer I've taken more swings at the plate than you have You were at the bar in your 20s. I was at my computer More importantly our client has also spent more time playing the piano and taking swings than you have too If he wants to raise his hand, so be it but I won't call him out. He's a good dude. A good husband. A good father. He has more reps than I do. So does luck play into it? For sure 100%. My biggest day ever was on the heels of my two worst months ever, all things considered. But then I just think back to the guy who bought Bitcoin ten years ago and just made a bunch of money This one guy I know who made more money in Bitcoin than anybody else bought Bitcoin at $5 because he read the white paper on it and thought the technology seemed interesting He was a friend of mine in the college dorms. My point is very simple: take more cuts, take more swings, practice more piano Create your luck

I love paying $1k a month for an email pop up that I'm not convinced brings any incremental value to my brand

We throw this meme around but I actually think running your brand based on vibes is the way Every ad platform claims credit for a conversion Shopify apps cut data in crazy ways to “prove” they are making you money Agencies take credit for all increases performance At the end of the day, as a brand owner you gotta have a ✨feel✨for the numbers Sometimes it’s more art than science

So intelligems broke multiple PDP links on our site while running a split test. Pausing the tests fixed it immediately. Glad we caught it within a few hours but I don’t trust their software anymore. We’ll be chad testing offers and landers in meta from now on 🫡

Can confirm this is the way. More, better, new as Hormozi says

The biggest difference after 30k days is just doing more of what’s already working. So more high quality ads and more hq landing pages to make you’re funnels congruent. This way you can keep increasing spend without lowering efficiency. Another big thing for longevity is getting good at extracting more value (retention, cross sell, upsells) out of your current customers, as this boosts your bottomline significantly.

I weirdly feel significantly less stress running a business than I did working in finance. Think it’s because I’m in the drivers seat now. In banking I had 0 control over anything. It’s the only time in my life I’ve really felt anxiety. Had this constant fear of receiving an email from my MD that would keep me at the office until 3am or blow up my weekend. I sleep well at night now. Even when things were in the toilet and we had $300k of personally guaranteed credit card debt. I was obviously stressed but never anxious. Kinda weird
This is the downside of running a business they never tell you. I feel very similar. Huge levels of stress. I think I have aged more in the last year than the prior 5 years. Sometimes I think I'd like to give all the money away for some peace.
