i’ve spent the last 6 months obsessing over my goal of hitting $100,000 in a month. it’s all i’ve been thinking about. the first $10,000 was easy, it was just spamming posts 3-5 times a day. getting to $30,000 wasn’t too bad, it was just giving it all I had. but when I was approaching $40,000, that’s when I began to have trouble. I was burned out, I maximized all of my hours. it didn’t really matter at that point if I was working for myself, because I had essentially just created another job that I couldn’t get out of. at 27yrs old I was making more money than a doctor, but I was just as burned out. & I wasn’t even halfway to my goal. I couldn’t figure out how to do it.. how to go past that ceiling.. I was slowly being confronted with the fact that I just didn’t know enough to proceed. I had ran the $0-$10k race so many times that it was second nature, but I had never hit that new level before, let alone $100k. imagine being so close to the summit, but realizing to finally get to the top it means having to go back down and take a different route. this is when I realized that every breakthrough in our lives and income will come from the following conditions: 1. the level of humility you have to admit that you don’t know it all 2. the mental diet we consume to get us to the next level I have never made more money reading financial books. I have only ever made more money by changing my mindset — whether through being around people who are playing at a higher level than me, getting coaching, or by doing the internal work. my first $100k year was all mindset and experience, and it was accelerated once i started asking for help. the same was the case for all off my coaching clients. this is why I have created (& renamed) this newsletter to The $100K Mental Diet. this is also why I have created this free community for ambitious entrepreneurs & professionals. because if you consume the right mental diet, you win. be very careful about what you let into your mind. it is a super computer that can transform any thought stream into literal reality.
