The $10k p/m method in simple steps:
if you're lost. this is for you.
(keep this to yourself. may be slightly invasive)
----------------------
FIND A PROBLEM
"I can't even exercise properly because of my back pain" - some random guy
That's a problem. and people are looking for a solution to it.
This is where you come in and solve it. that's your job.
that's business in a nutshell
the problems are unlimited
find what problems are common (Reddit, Facebook, Quora etc..) and target one
don't overthink it. shouldn't take you more than 20 mins to decide.
-------------------------------------
GATHER INFORMATION
Part 1 : Audience Info
you know the problem
now. you need to gather info about your audience:
- why they have this problem
- the cost of living with this problem (how it impacts them personally)
- the emotions this problem targets (insecurity, fear, lack of confidence, anxiety etc..)
you can also research about this on the platforms I mentioned in step 1
there are confessions made on there everyday. break them down.
this way. you'll know more about your audience than 90% of people do
PART 2: Solution Info
you also need to gather info about the solution
what can help your audience?
consume YT videos, podcasts, books about the topic/problem
search for people who are known and trusted in the space. and consume their wisdom
you can even use AI to find out who's credible.
for example. if you help people get stronger in the gym and bulk up. watch Sam Sulek videos
all this info will be used to create content that can’t be scrolled past
---------------------------------------
TAKE NOTES
from the info you'll gather.
takes notes down on the audience and wisdom info on a google doc.
this will be ammo for you to use in your content. make people relate to what you say. and eventually, get follows.
because through your research. you understood their struggles
and know what can help them overcome it
organizing info will keep your ideas sharp
which takes me to the next point
----------------------------------------
POSTING/ACTION
you know have a decent amount of info to start soliciting some attention
so start posting.
don't stuff your face with info. only to end up burnt out and confused
take it progressively. and act quickly.
post. learn more. post again. then learn again
unlimited content ideas will pop up
and unlimited value to give your audience
people will start to follow you. and trust you as someone who can help them
you will have different angles to take with your content
you can even use ideas you've used before and rewrite them differently
there are no rules.
you're pretty much learning, and teaching your audience how to deal with their problem
that's all it is.
-----------------------------------------
MONETISATION/MONEY
you don't need to wait till 10k followers.
but once you start getting some momentum. gathered 500 - 1000 followers
you start sending these followers into an email newsletter
where you'll be digging deeper into advice/exclusive info/more personal content etc...
there and then. you can start promoting your product in the newsletter
because the subscribers are already interested
in your message. that's why they subbed right?
don't put the link to your newsletter once you start posting
no one trusts you yet + the algo hates it
don't overthink this either. just worry about posting content and budling trust first.
the process becomes much smoother.
----------------------------------------------
PATIENCE
you've already started posting and experiencing low views and engagement
give it some time. this isn't an instant success plan. and nothing happens overnight
so don't beat yourself up when the results are shit.
this is normal.
4 - 5 months of consistency and you'll start really getting into the game
as long as you're learning. staying consistent. and giving your audience the value they need.
there's no way you won't end up with everything you want.
with a community of people who WANT to
give you their credit card details
simple as that.
----------------------------------------
there's no reason for you not to be able to succeed through this method
I just laid out the foundation for you
all you need to do is stick to the steps. don't stress. learn as you go
that's how I did it.
I didn't know shit when I started. and certainly made a lot of mistakes
there’s a bit more that goes into this. don't worry, I'll ger into it very soon.
but for now. this is enough for you to start stepping on the gas.
Start mf.
OffGrid
I don't even struggle with consistency anymore
I just have days where I work less than others
the middle of the week is usually just gym. business. learn. spend time with family. maybe some ufc 5 before I sleep.
the weekend, I am either working all of it. or out drinking like a mf from 6 pm till 1 am. depends really.
always make sure you sober up before falling asleep and get something to eat. so that you don't wake up the next day with a hangover.
it's fine we'll burn all these calories in the gym the next day.
some weeks are balanced. some are more work focused.
as long as you don't lack on the work.

if you don't understand people
you'll fall for every trap they set up.
you can't be "nice" in business/sales.
they don't go together.
I was that innocent kid once.
I thought because the prospect had to "think about it" then I should give him the space he needs
"ah fair enough. give it some thought and get back to me"
rookie. I just pulled him out of the dream.
in reality he was telling me...
"I don't want to feel bad for buying and I want you to give me a reason why I should"
completely different process when you know how he actually thinks.
when you know how to shut down every trap effortlessly.
he didn't reach out to you because you're nice.
he wants someone to fix the broken reality he's been living in.
understanding people too well does come at a cost tho.
as everything does.
you simply won't see them the same way anymore.
but you can still print $$$ of them.
human psychology is the root.

stick to the basics
we overcomplicate things a lot of the time
what are the basics?
speed + feedback
whatever you do. do it fast. and ship it so you know if it works or not.
post the piece. and see if it performs or not
market the product. and see if it sells or not
do 4 x 12 in the gym. and see if your weights go up or not.
that didn't work for me. 2 sets till failure has been working wonders.
my reflection never looked better. new shoulder vein piercing through my skin.
your only enemy is the time wasted in between
the "what if" question.
but what's the point of dwelling on the "what if" if it's keeping you at 0 with a product that's half finished collecting dust in a folder on your laptop?

most people think this is the pattern
think - be - do
nah g
you don't think your way into the person you want to become.
this is the equivalent of trying to catch a fish by staring at a map of the ocean.
makes no sense.
you simply go fishing enough times until you have the skillset of a fisherman. until you ARE a fisherman.
do - be - think
you take the actions that this person would take. then you'll find yourself thinking the same way he would. and getting the results he'd have.
at first it will feel odd.
because you're doing something you've never done before.
no one was born a charming salesman or a d1 athlete.

skills over models.
I still remember the weeks I spent binge watching all the jordan bown dropshipping videos
while also trying to make money with YT automation/posting clips
made peanuts off both. just because I was stubborn.
I just needed any way out.
trying to see which "business model" was the smartest to stick to.
you likely had the same experience. but then it turned into a quitting ritual.
you go into one. study it for a while. then realize it's "a scam"
but it wasn't the model bro.
the thing you missed was what every single model out there actually relies on..
getting people to say yes
the dropshipping videos you watched taught you how to optimize your website. payment processors. and make it look trusted.
same logic as telling someone. improve your wardrobe collection and more women will want to go home with you.
they gave you the surface. and left out how the seduction happens.
you see..
every model out there is just a different way of asking people for money.
some do cold dms. some cold call. some run ads. some write content.
each one has a slightly different onboarding process.
but it's still problem -> agitate -> solution (product)
every business model runs on that structure
they all follow the same psychology.
whether you're cold dming or writing content.
you need to make the prospect understand that he's missing out by not using your product
aka: fear of missing out
you learn that by studying marketing/persuasion
which are skills you need to get someone to give you their money.
a fancier website won't fix bad marketing. never will.
200 desperate cold dm's won't cancel out the fact that they are desperate. learn buying psychology.
always remember that.
the answers are in the skills.
not the models.
I'd save this if I were you. cuz you may not see it again.

learning hack
whenever you get off reading a book or watching a video.
don't mistake the fake productivity feeling for learning.
the video was like a jump starter. now you have to access the info you just learned for your brain to lock it into your memory.
otherwise the info will fade away.
that's why I always say learn + act.
the time gap between them should be as short as possible. almost instant.
just watched a video about cold dm scripts?
head over to your tiktok account and cold dm 10 followers.
your brain is already warmed up. now use the tactics you just learned and find out what works and what doesn't.
then go and learn again.
what's the point of watching the video and then taking action 5 days later bro.
you're going against biology at this point.
you will forget 90% of what you learned.
and you'll have to repeat what you watched again.

your mind is controlling you like a puppet master.
listen up bro..
every decision you made in your entire life
wasn't made by you.
you thought you were the driver.
but you're just a passenger watching the movie in your head play out.
this is why you failed before.
your conscious desires need to match what your subconscious mind believes.
otherwise the subconscious program will work against you rather than for you.
imagine your conscious mind is a guy riding a horse. and your subconscious is the horse itself.
your conscious mind wants to head north because that’s where the treasure is. on some red dead redemption type shit.
but the horse itself only cares about staying alive. eating grass. and avoiding wolves. because that’s what’s FAMILIAR to it. that’s what kept it safe before. staying idle.
so you can pull the reins as hard as you can to point the horse north. but it remembers from previous data that a storm hit that path to the north sometime last month. and that there are wolves lurking there.
so it locks it’s legs and refuses to move like you wanted it to.
you can whip it, scream at it, and use every ounce of your physical energy to force it to take a few steps forward. but you can only pull the reins so hard before your arms give out.
once you relax your arms. the horse will go back to it’s stable and keep eating grass. and you’ll follow it there, because you subconscious mind is the dictator of everything you do
see the correlation?
how do you remove this wiring?
it’s simple.
you stop pulling the reins and start feeding your horse NEW data.
right now. your horse is associating going north with wolves. storms. and death. just like you associate sitting on your desk with boredom and pain.
so you have to trick the program.
you don’t start by brute forcing your way through a 10 hour work session. because that will trigger the pain response. that’s when the horse locks it’s legs
instead, you make it walk 100 ft north. feed it an apple. then let it rest.
you work for 25 minutes uninterrupted. pure focus. just silence. you only get ONE thing done.
your subconscious scans the environment. no wolves. no storm. we didn’t die.
new data logged into the program.
the next day. walk 150 ft north. another apple.
what you’re doing here is building a record of kept promises. you’re proving to your subconscious that silence isn’t a threat.
it’s just where the work is done.
re read this and let it sink in.

spam read sales letters and your girl will ask you how
you've gotten rich so fast.
you'll understand how to hook people in
how to put them on an emotional rollercoaster and not sound like a souless AI
how to weaponize storytelling
how to break down their internal doubts
how to make your offer as irresistible as possible
how to give a guarantee so they feel stupid for saying no.
surprisingly useful for real life situations as well. make of that what you will

go for a cardio session with no music
it’s boring. really boring.
especially if you do it in the gym.
nothing remotely interesting is happening.
maybe except for the brunette doing stretches in the corner. but ignore that for now.
it’s just you. the treadmill. and a timer showing you how long you've been running.
you told yourself you were going to run a 5k.
now you know that if you don't do it. you'll leave the gym feeling like a soy boy because you couldn't deliver.
your subconscious mind takes another hit.
it knows that you never do what you say you'll do.
it knows you can't deal with the silence.
so you'll try to fill in every silent moment with something more rewarding.
that's the life of the average person.
and frankly, it's funny and pathetic to see at the same time.
funny because I used to be that average guy.
pathetic because getting out of that bubble was simpler than most people make it out to be.
if you usually go gym with your boy, he probably panicked before because he forgot his airpods at home.
"haha it's fine g"
the idea of mild boredom scares the fuck out of people.
it's not a pretty way to live.
the point isn't to go gym and raw dog every workout.
it's mastering the art of enjoying the silence.
when I'm working. I'm silent. my environment is silent. no notifications in sight.
only the sound of my keyboard. and the thoughts in my head telling me "this will all pay off sooner or later, just go"
go read my "your bedroom should be designed like a casino " post. dm me and I'll send you the link.
I don't know when it will pay off. and neither will you.
and that's the silence I'm talking about. the one people avoid at all costs.
the silence after first 30 days of trying business.
the silence after learning a new method and still failing.
that's where the abandonment rate is high.
and it was never a matter of finding a new business model to try. that's actually the trap itself.
because the silence
your focus should be on the progress itself. not the timer. not the numbers.
level up your persuasion stats. writing stats. offer creation stats. copy stats.
and once you reach that. the money lands.
anyway, 5k is done.
now get back to the marathon of studying money and psychology

why is your motivation temporary?
because your day has no structure.
if your routine is empty. nothing but waking up. eating. scrolling. maybe going gym.
then this motivation has no where to be directed.
there is nothing to wake up to bro.
nothing to hunt down.
so of course you'll spend the first 90 minutes of your day frying your dopamine to the point where motivation doesn't exist anymore.
your brain felt a reward for moving your thumb on a screen.
doing anything else now feels useless.
you feel useless because you're not moving towards anything.
meaning that you need a plan to put your focus into.
whether it's to gather knowledge. learn a skill. print some cash. or even apply for jobs and have a side income.
I spent 1-2 months straight just building the habit of waking up and doing anything productive.
apply for jobs. read up on books. a way to get my mind flowing. get ideas.
this all depends on what you're trying to achieve.
the best thing you can do right now is write up a plan.
not a goal. a plan.
a goal is a delusional number you write down and hope to hit somehow. you know?
a plan is a series of steps you can actually take daily.
not "make $120k by the end of 2027/read 100 books"
instead "60 minutes of reading before breakfast"
"45 minutes writing content"
"3 km run after lunch"
you can tweak the plan later depending on your preference/goal.
the structure is a solid start.
without it you're waking up and hoping life throws something nice at you. hoping that motivation is around.
over time these daily habits will stack up in your favour.
it's only right that they do.

a lot of the time the answers you're looking for are in the darkness
what is really driving you to do what you do?
the guy that's been going gym everyday for 3 years straight has a dark drive beyond "being consistent"
or looking bigger in the mirror.
maybe he was bullied throughout uni to the point of loneliness
and it stuck with him.
when I worked in sales. I knew people who used to take 1 hour long public transport to the office every morning.
at this point they're driven by the hope of survival and being able to have 2 meals a day.
money is just the surface motivation.
maybe getting my heart broken again wouldn't be the worst thing out there.
not because I like pain.
but because the pain will put me on a generational run.
all the greats you see nowadays had one thing in common.
they knew how to use their dark experiences
francis ngannou became ufc heavyweight champ after working in sand mines at 10 years old and spending years as a homeless refugee in europe.
goggins became a navy seal and ultramarathon runner after suffering with learning disabilities and being abused by his dad.
they didn't find their inspiration in a self-help book.
it was all energy they mined from personal hell.
not many people will tell you this bro
but if you went through trauma/betrayal/whatever you wanna call it
good. because you can use this energy towards becoming the person you want.
it's just a matter of perspective.

half the game is about knowing how to use your emotions
accept that you’ll have them. and put them into your work.
if you choked a sales call. use that feeling of doubt to learn persuasion and close the next one.
if that chick ghosted. use the confusion and print $$
emotional management the highest ROI skill you can learn right now

the biggest lie you were told
“it’s not that simple”
but people only say that because they don’t want to pay for the choices they make.
wanna know when I realized it’s all a lie?
when I saw friends of mine much smarter. much more educated than I am throw everything they want away because they chose to be extra realistic.
realistic to the point of self sabotage.
they don’t have the “what if” mentality. smart people tend to have a “glass half empty” outlook on life.
it’s called “paralysis by analysis” for a reason.
"bro you’re definitely above average at coding, what don’t you use that?”
"I don’t know. I tried coding up a trading bot that predicts market patterns and calls trades for me, but It didn’t go too well”
"why not try something else?”
"yeah bro I’m looking into it, it’s just not that easy”
"alright..”
I had the exact same conversation again 3 months after that.
"yo g did you figure something out with coding?”
same answers. same demeanour. the only thing that changed this time was me telling him that he’ll regret wasting his talent.
and I know this guy very well. he’s smart. he knows at least a little bit about any topic you can really think of. but his ambition dies down just as fast.
where did his intelligence or realism get him so far?
nowhere that he wants to be. I’d like to think that won’t be the case for too long.
back to the point.
how is it “simple”?
you make choices and never look back.
because looking back means that you’re still attached to your older life. your older self.
and it will be just a matter of time before you revert to it.
how did all the greats become successful?
they understand that the choice they make now is the one they’ll stick to. even though they will pay some costs on the way there.
there’s always a dark tunnel before the light.
your job is to pay the price without ever looking back.
because you’ve internalized that the reward at the end is… worth it.
there’s a sense of freedom behind it you’ll understand once you make that decision you’ve been putting off.
wake up. clean up. work without looking at the time. realize 6 hours have flown by. you’ve done more than most people do in a week. get dressed and make sure you’re looking like a million dollars (yes even when you’re going gym). slap on bleu de channel edp and smell like a gentleman who has questionable intentions. blast some gunna on the way there.
what’s the cost behind all this?
maybe some boredom here and there. maybe some cancelled outings. maybe a heightened sense of ego you never signed up for.
fine by me.
and this ego doesn’t come from free time or hopping onto jet skis every once in a while and posting it on IG.
it comes from the fact that you stuck by the choice you made.
something most people will never experience.

take care,

saw one of my boys after 1 year of living in different countries
I couldn’t recognize him. man was huge. as in he gained a ton of weight.
didn’t mention it once. it was bad to the point where I couldn’t even tease him about it like I usually would if I got a friend who’s slightly fat/skips leg day etc...
now look. we all fall off. that’s not that issue.
what you need to master is catching yourself before it gets ugly.
by setting a baseline for yourself. like a safety net.
that’s why when you work/train/learn/do anything.
you go all fucking in to the point where your “bad days” are still better than the average joe’s lifeless routine.
it sets a standard that your nervous system will never allow you to go under.
