My best friend is private-jet-rich. His dad is an incredible mentor. Yesterday, he taught me this: You can beat 75% of people by working hard. You can beat 15% of people by being honest. And the last 10% is just a dog fight.

Just onboarded a new mentor that’s helped a couple DTC brands scale TikTok ads from $0 to $500k/mo with great results. “It feels like old Facebook; 5 - 10% of ad spend, 20% of sales.” She’s an operator, not a personal brand builder, so you may not know her. Who wants to chat?

One great way to learn / grow in life is to identify people you admire and adopt traits that make them successful. Two traits I've noticed overwhelmingly in people I admire: 1. Quitting alcohol. 2. Reducing consumption of social media. I'm working on both.

I was a Wantrepreneur for 8 yrs, but never made the leap. What changed? I tried starting with purpose, rather than opportunity. For weeks, I meditated on the question, “what impact do I want to have on the world?” Once I had the answer, I never feared failing.

It took Gymshark founder, Ben Francis, two months to get his first sale. He made $2.50 on a $50 order. Today, they're reportedly generating over $400M per year in revenue (estimated by growjo). If you're struggling to find traction, keep going.

The great debate between @mrsharma and @iamshackelford today was in-house (do it yourself) vs agency (do it for you). Nobody mentioned option three — “do it with us.” Get insights/coaching from experts and build capabilities internally. @MentorPass is creating the category.
