Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Time to let the cat out of the bag:
I was in New York City over the weekend because because my book and shiny bald head were plastered all over a giant billboard in Times Square:
Pretty friggin’ cool, right?
In other news, now that I’m a Certified World Famous Author™ who’s been featured in Times Square, I’ll be selling autographed copies for $49 a pop.
The PayPal link is below.
KIDDING! 🤣
Seriously though, this was a trippy experience.
I’m still working to embrace my author identity, so to see my book on a billboard in Times Square made my skin crawl for a second or two…
But it was also an undeniable sign of progress on my relentless march towards the mountaintop.
I’ve turned my life up to 11 on multiple fronts over the past year…
And the dividends are starting to tumble in.
Candidly though, this one came together more out of serendipity than pure hard work.
Me and my two business partners at the agency did a free consulting call for a friend who runs a 7-figure publishing business.
And the Times Square billboard is something he does for all his authors.
So when he found out I had just published a book, he offered to hook this up.
Now here I am.
That said, there’s still a lesson in there, which is:
Do stuff that expands your luck surface area.
Because you never know how and when it might pay off.
Put another way:
The more people who know WHO you are and what you can do, the more opportunities will flow your way.
And, crucially:
This doesn’t always have to be in a paid context.
Sometimes it means being willing to pitch in without an obvious or immediate reward.
Anyhow…
The billboard is cool.
But what’s even cooler is having thousands of happy customers to share it with.
And the reason for that is simple:
Email Storyselling.
This is how you build an audience of diehard fans who love reading your emails and buying your stuff.
If you’d like to learn how to master the art & science of writing story-driven emails that sell…
Without hand copying old sales letters from the 1960s…
Or spending months piecing things together through trial and error…
Then check out my Email Storyselling MBA program below.
It will show you how to:
- Save 5-10+ hours every week on writing emails
- Eliminate the stress of not knowing what to write about
- Hit 'send' with confidence knowing your emails will convert
- And maximize your sales with AI while maintaining your authentic voice
All so you can use this one skill to fund your dream lifestyle.
Whether that means being able to fly to Manhattan on a whim…
Spend the weekend binge watching Severance…
Or anything else in between :)
Best part is, now you can get started for as little as $97.
