Take Charge of Your Life

If you have no sense of direction in your life, I want to motivate and inspire you to become the best version of yourself. This means financially, spiritually, physically, and anything else you can think of. Hustle culture on the internet will have you feeling like you’re falling behind and you’re not where you need to be in life, but I’m here to tell you that’s bullsh*t. It’s perfectly fine to feel unmotivated, however, what’s not fine is letting that stop you from showing up and doing your work.

I want to share two things that have completely changed my life, and I know that it will change yours too because I’m no different than you who’s reading this. You have the power to transform and level up your life for the better. This isn’t some motivational talk to make you feel better for five minutes so you can go back to your old ways. I want you to actually gain something from reading this sh*t. Just remember that: The biggest investment that you can make in your life is on yourself!

Go to the gym

Bruh, please do yourself the biggest favor and start going to the gym. The gym should become your sanctuary where it’s just you and the weights, challenging your limits. Life is a b*tch and you should use the gym as your stress-relief spot for releasing endorphins that make you feel happier and less anxious. I promise that you’ll instantly start to feel better about yourself as soon as you step out of the gym. There’s no greater feeling in the world after a great workout and knowing that you’re gaining strength and watching your body transform itself.

When you hit the gym regularly, you start to look good, and that boost in physical appearance translates to feeling good about yourself. Your confidence increases, your stress levels decrease, and your mental clarity becomes better than it has ever been.

 Learn a high-income skill

A high-income skill is a skill that’s going to get you paid a sh*t ton of money because of its demand in the current job market today. Google some high-income skills that fit your interests and learn one of them today, I promise you that you’re going to make more money than you ever could from your 9-5 jobs. There’s nothing wrong with a 9-5 job. Being employed and providing for your family or loved ones is a great feeling.

I just want you to know that in today’s digital world, it has never been easier to make money than ever before. I just need you to believe in yourself so that you can go and get this bag. I read something the other day that said something along the lines of being in your comfort zone is literally the death of you, and I swear to God I couldn’t agree with that more.

I’m going to go over a high-income skill that you can begin to learn today (you’re already doing it, just not at a high level) so that you can be set on your way to financial freedom. I can only share this knowledge and game with y’all but at the end of the day, it’s up to you guys to take the next steps to make it happen.

The high-income skill I’m going to cover is Digital marketing. This has literally become the core of almost every business that exists today. Its ability to target a broad audience and deliver measurable results helps businesses and services connect and reach their customers. The great thing about digital marketing is that you’re constantly learning and becoming better at what you do every day. The world spends $630 billion dollars on digital marketing every year. You won’t get all of that money, you just have to figure out a way to get some of it.

Remember this: People will always spend money on anything that brings value into their lives, makes them more money, and makes their lives easier.

So how can you learn the high-income skill of digital marketing and apply it to your life today?

It’s going to require you to get up off your ass and go speak to people. This is literally something tangible that you can go and do today. The goal is for you to help small businesses make more money. You’re probably thinking I can’t even make money for myself, how the hell am I going to help another business make more money?

With this mentality, you will lose no matter what. I need you guys to start f*cking believing in yourselves because you help the business or company you work for make more money every day with your 9-5 job.

I want you guys to actually apply these steps to your lives. It won’t be easy but I swear to you that if you’re hungry enough you can make a lot of money from doing this.

Step 1: Get in your car and drive around to all the small businesses in your neighborhood/city (restaurants and food trucks preferred) You can call these businesses if you want, but I believe that face-to-face interactions are better and will help you get your message across.

Step 2: Go inside these businesses/restaurants and ask to speak to the owner or manager.

Step 3: Introduce yourself and tell them that you want to run their social media accounts for free.

If they don’t have any social media accounts or have a poor social media presence, then you’re in luck! Your job is to simply bring in more clients to their restaurants/businesses through social media.

FYI: Many businesses and services might ask you for testimonials on your work in the past. Just be honest and say that you don’t have any. Tell them that their business is going to be the first one that is going to be using your service. Let them know that if they decide to work with you, their business will make more money because you’re going to bring in more customers through their doors.

 You’re going to get rejected so much but if this sh*t was easy, everybody would be doing it.

I need you to realize that you have little to low skills and that you’re literally learning how to sell and market yourself, as well as market for other businesses for free. Businesses pay so much money for great marketing because they know that it leads to more customers. Sales and marketing are very high-level skills that people pay tons of money to learn, and if you’re able to master these skills I promise you that you’re going to make a sh*t ton of money in your lifetime.

Step 4: Produce quality content for your client.

You must care about your client/partner’s business. They’re literally going to pay you and plug you with even more clients if they see the value that your marketing skills bring to their business.  

Now that you have your first client, what should you do?

Do what you do every day and post on every social media account. Post on your personal pages, and their business pages, send your ads to your friends, and have them check out the business that you’re promoting. Do whatever it takes to promote your client’s business! Remember that you’re working for free so that your client starts to pay you once they see the value in your work (trust me when I say that more money for their business is the ultimate value for many of these business owners).

In today’s world, our attention spans are lower than ever thanks to TikTok, IG/FB reels, and YouTube shorts. Short-form videos get the most views so I think you should start there! Make sure to stay consistent.

Other ideas for restaurants would be to share appealing pictures and videos of the restaurant's interior, food, and specials. Visual content is crucial in the restaurant industry.

Encourage customers to share their own photos and experiences at the restaurant so that you can repost their content to build trust and authenticity.

Lastly, you can highlight daily specials, discounts, and promotions and create visually appealing graphics for these.  

See what works for other businesses in the same niche as your client and do something similar to their ads. Don’t just straight-up copy people!

Step 6: Start Charging for your services.

If you do this at a high level, the business will start to make more money, and now that you have a good relationship with the manager or the owner, you’re ready to start charging for your services! You literally learned how to sell (you sold your digital marketing service to the restaurant or small business) and how to produce digital content (you produced quality content that made more money for the restaurant) all for free!

People pay thousands of dollars to learn how to do this stuff but I don’t want you to make that mistake. There’s so much free information out there. You also have google, YouTube, and ChatGPT.

The great thing about running a social media account is that you have all of the metric data. This means that you can get an idea of how much traffic you’re driving into the business that you’re providing your services for.

Don’t be scared to charge a premium for your services. You’re bringing more customers to these people and making more money for their businesses!  

The toughest part will be to get your first client, and that’s why your service is free in the beginning. Your only goal should be to make your clients as much money as possible with all the traffic that you’re going to be bringing to their business. You should also track and see what works for you and what doesn’t because you’re going to become so good at this marketing stuff as you acquire more clients.

This is something that all of you guys can literally start and do today! You guys all use social media anyway so why not make money with it? Stop being lazy and go out there and get this bag! There’s so much money in marketing for local businesses in your area!

I love each and every one of you guys and I want to see us all eat. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my publishing. This world can be challenging and unkind, but I want you to be the difference maker.

Spread kindness, do good every day, and watch the way your life changes.

Please do me a favor and share this sh*t with everybody you know if you found value in today’s publishing. Appreciate you.
