Why my mentor told me to grow up.

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

I had a consulting call with my mentor recently.

This guy has:

  • Sold $100M+ for clients
  • Been in the internet marketing space since 1995
  • Was the #1 SEO guy in the world (making $10K/day as a solopreneur)

I told him I’d stopped posting content because I wanted to get more hands-on experience before teaching others what I'd learned.

His reply slapped me across the face like a big wet salmon.

To paraphrase slightly…

“Look at yourself. You’re sitting there topless in a beautiful country eating beautiful food. You have no boss to answer to. You don’t need to stay in cheap hostels and can travel to anywhere in the world whenever you feel like it. Do you realise how many people would kill to be in your position right now?
​
Understand this…

I’ve been in the online business game for over two decades AND still there are days I wake up and wonder if I really know anything. It’s part of the game. Get over it.”

I share this because I want you to hear this.

You are a person of value. Even if all you’ve done is taken your first step and read a marketing book, you’ve done more than 90% of people ever will.

Most people won’t even try to live the life they truly want to.

Self-doubt is part of the game.

Work hard. Get good. But realise it’s always going to be there.

Sometimes in a small way. Sometimes in a big way.

The sooner you realise this, the sooner you can get over it.

Carpe diem,

Tatsuki

Yesterday I was lucky enough to call a paid ads guy at a Fortune 100 company. His small team spends $100,000,000+ a year on ads. He isn't legally allowed to talk with me about all this stuff, so he stayed anonymous.

“Sell every day in every single email.” If you're growing your list with social media content, this advice is broken. Let me explain why… This advice is pushed by the world’s greatest email marketers for good reason. Emails are free to send, so if you want to make maximum money... Sell your offer in emails everyday right? Right?? Well... This works fine if you don't just use social media to grow your list, i.e. paid ads, list swaps, SEO blogs, etc. Over time... Everyone who doesn’t want to...

A follower recently asked me: “How do I get client experience as a complete beginner.” I was a complete beginner last year AND have just taken over paid ad campaigns for a client as a complete beginner. So I know I have the answer you’re looking for. The secret lies in a principle taught to me in a small private masterclass with Ben Settle, the King of email of marketing. I call it: “Turn trash, into cash.” Let me explain… I’m a paid ads noob. I have just as much experience pole dancing as I...
