As an entrepreneur, your health should be your main focus.
Both physical and mental.
I used to be overweight. But I was making good money so I ignored it.
Worst decision of my life.
What changed?
I started working out 4 times a week.
Best decision of my life.
“A young person can’t be knowledgeable”
FALSE, in my 20s, I:
- Learned Chinese
- Spoke on Tedx
- Built 2 companies
- Raised 1.5M for an M&A
- Travelled to 45 different countries
- Got 3 diplomas
Experience is the creator of knowledge.
Want to make $20k a month as a content creator?
I added $45,000 to a content creator's business.

The shortest ladder to growth is a personal brand.
How?
Pick a problem in your life.
Fix it and document the process. (content)
Sell the process to people behind you. (product)
Network with others to spread your offer. (engage)
You get financial freedom in return.
Most people you call "lucky" aren't lucky.
If you chose the boring route that was guaranteed to lead you to mediocracy you have no right to judge those who chose differently and became successful.
The good news is that it's not too late to start pursuing something meaningful.
I don't know which one of you needs to hear this but being busy won't make you rich, you need to be productive.
4 hours of deep work a day can build an empire.
Kylie Jenner built her cosmetics company to $1,200,000,000.
That’s $1.2 billion.
How?
She perfected personal branding.
Here are 7 key things that were vital to Kylie’s success:
The only sustainable way to be happy is to find purpose.
You won't find purpose by sitting around.
Get in the ring, try new things, fall, get back up, win, and do it all over again.
Get lost in the process and find yourself.
Why focusing on the money alone won't make you successful:
Don't get me wrong we all have financial goals, but putting money on a pedestal will drain you.
Concentrate on creating solutions for problems and providing value wherever you can, this gives you much more clarity.
Making $22,00 a month used to be my dream, now it makes me cry.
Don’t you worry,
It’s all planned.
New offer & product en route.
The biggest change I made was upgrading my mindset & developing a system that runs behind personal brands
This allows creators around me make more
You are bound to fail, don't beat yourself up for screwing up once in a while.
You have to acknowledge your flaws and start improving.
Torturing yourself for the past will keep you in the past.
Look forward, you don't have time to look backward.
Tip for content creators:
Make content in batches.
Every week, spend a few hours making content.
Shooting videos, writing tweets, etc.
Make enough content for the week, and repeat next week.
Saves so much time.
Living in a constant cycle of self-doubt and imposter syndrome will eventually lead to your downfall.
Be your biggest supporter, and remember that everybody else is living for the first time too.
At the end of the day, you're fighting this fight against yourself.
If you're stuck at a certain income that you can't seem to push past, it's time to learn.
There's something you don't know or something you aren't comfortable doing.
• Hire a mentor
• Buy information
• Get people to automate time consuming tasks
Repeat.
Wake up, you've lost your edge.
Get your edge back, and don't forget what made you choose this journey over a regular job.
You only have one shot at this life, attack every day like there is no tomorrow.
"Anyone can do that!"
Yeah, you're right. But only a few ever try.
And even fewer actually keep going when it gets hard.
And I think you're one of them - keep going!
Not staying consistent and not engaging with your audience is setting yourself up for failure.
Why waste hours on end producing content, only to neglect the people who got you to where you are?
Your audience needs to feel heard and understood!
On that note, how's your week?
If anyone tells you that reading books is a waste of time, stop talking to them.
You have decades of knowledge distilled into a 200-page book for pocket change.
Sure, reading books alone won't get you anywhere. But blind action without the right knowledge has the same effect.
To make stupid amounts of money online you need:
• Eyeballs
• Trust
• Desire
• Easy to Fulfill Offers
In other words:
• A Personal Brand & Digital Products
"Work smarter, not harder!" is a scam.
You'll always stay where you are if you keep that mentality.
You're essentially saying, "Stay lazy!"
You need both hard work and smart solutions to be successful.
Stop coping. This is our reality.
Here's what actually matters:
• Time Freedom
• Location Freedom
• Healthy Family
• Safety
Most of these things can be condensed down into:
• Financial Freedom
Most people die at 25 but don't get buried until they're 75.
Do yourself a favor and don't sleepwalk through your life wishing you would've done something else.
The choice is yours, make that idea happen.
This week we had the last session of our first Accelerator Program by Unit Ventures. Entrepreneurs and startups have been thought the process of tokenization. Excited for the next batch coming up in January!
If you're not creative you'll always be behind your competition.
There is no way to outperform someone if they're the ones innovating.
proactivity always beats reactivity.
Your hard work will pay off.
Even if it seems like you aren't getting anywhere, you are.
Then boom, it happens all at once - like magic.
Have faith, and trust the process.
With TikTok, Instagram reels, and whatnot, it's quite common for people to go viral overnight.
The thing is, 800k followers won't make you rich - Why? because most of these creators have no idea how to sustain their brand and make it a business that will actually PAY them.
If you're not monetizing your personal brand yet you either never heard about it before, or you're scared to put yourself out there.
In that case, I hate to break it to you but you're never going to be great.
Stop looking for excuses, you don't need 10.000 followers to start.
It's called PERSONAL brand for a specific reason:
There is a person behind.
Stop posting boring content, sounding like every other guy online.
Have a story. A personality.
Your brand will take off.
Success is always a choice.
Success is a commitment.
Success is a promise you make to your inner self.
Success is doing what you know you have to do.
Success is constantly pushing yourself into the unknown.
You can't expect to make more money doing the same things over and over.
As a freelancer you can't suddenly raise your prices, you're bound to the market.
But you can get employees and build systems that serve you.
To step up, you need to hand down.
Applies to every business.
Info products are the future...
You're telling me you can make six figures off taking weekly Zoom calls and teaching people to become better at something YOU are passionate about?
Crazy right... I'd start now if I was you.
Not sure if you're skilled enough to build a course?
Read this:
Let's say you're a 3/10 at playing golf and you want to become a 5/10.
You don't need Tiger Woods to teach you how to become a 5/10.
As long as you're a few steps ahead of somebody, you can start to teach them.
I helped countless creators make their first money online, all the way to 6 figures a month.
What make you think you can't do the same.
Trust me these are all average people.
Show up every day.
Even if you can't perform at 100% of your ability today, just show up and do something.
Send an email, take a call, journal, whatever it is... do something
Preserve your momentum, and stay consistent.
Stick to your principles...
You can’t be throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks.
If you want to progress and continue growing efficiently, you must test relentlessly.
Having the data to back up your next move is super important.
I have never seen somebody fail with these traits:
• Patience (doesn't give up)
• Works hard
• Is a genuinely nice person
• High desire for more in life
@audrlo
Hitting $40k/m feels surreal first, but then you realize…
You still need to put in the work..
You still have tasks to complete..
You still have challenges to overcome..
You still have an impact to make…
It was never about the money.
I couldn't care less about the number on my screen.
What I care about is my freedom.
The ability to do almost anything I want, when I want.
The ability to help people I love, in an instant.
You have to believe in yourself religiously.
Nobody else will try to motivate you every day, nobody else will be there to support you when you're at your lowest.
Stop relying on outside circumstances, build from the inside out.
Creating content is not about getting the most views.
It's about getting views from the right audience.
A few great followers = a successful brand
A lot of mediocre followers = a weak brand
The key to success is relentless action.
Do as much as you can, as efficiently as you can.
If you get better every day, even if it's just a minute change let me reassure you that you ARE making progress.
Just keep going.
Find your USP when monetizing your personal brand.
The easiest way to get ahead of your competition is to do something they don't!
Your Unique Selling Point will set you apart from other offers on the market, making it harder to compete with you and easier to buy from you.
If you want to be one of the best, you need one thing.
80% of people don't do this, and 95% don't do it right:
Look in the mirror.
Be your biggest judge, and force yourself to be better, every day.
Marginal improvements will compound over time.
Having a personal brand and not monetizing it is like casting a net into the ocean, catching hundreds of fish, and not doing anything with them.
Wasted potential.
The secret to a successful personal brand:
Act normal.
Stop putting on a facade; people want to relate with you...
Sooner or later, you'll start to feel disconnected from your audience.
If you have a skill or any type of knowledge, You can build an audience and monetize that.
And I'm not talking 5k a month, you can go way beyond six figures...
Time is priceless, helping somebody reach their goals faster is extremely valuable.
Use your skills and position yourself in a way that makes you the expert and genuinely help people with your services.
This is the key to success.
To grow as an entrepreneur you need to make time for creativity.
The best ideas and decisions will always be made in times of clarity.
The more time you have to train your creative muscle the better you become at making the right decisions for your business.
