This is a pretty clever billboard because a lot of people know some random real estate agent in their family and wanna give them the business (which isn't necessarily bad).

I've seen this happen a lot where a distant family member who is a realtor tries to get all the family business, but sometimes someone doesn't want to list or buy through them because they don't have a lot of experience!

Wisdom:

This graphic shows the key difference between a strategy and a plan.

Strategy = High level of how you win long-term.
Plan = Short-term roadmap and specific steps.

Interesting:

The overwhelmingly large part of TV is just sports. Almost no other major form of television is popular besides that.

How interesting!

This shows how utterly dominant social media and online sources are for entertainment versus traditional TV.

Picture:

This chart perfectly captures the messy (but normal) journey for marketers:

This is so true for so many people who put content out.

If you make 10 things:

  1. Flop

  2. Flop

  3. Flop

  4. Sorta gets traction

  5. Meh

  6. Meh

  7. Flop

  8. A random viral post

  9. Meh

  10. Sorta gets traction

Essay:

I think this quote SLAMS YOU IN THE FACE:

what-causes-prosperity.jpg

Way too many people have this false impression that poverty is something that's CAUSED, when in fact it's the root state of every animal and every human!

If you look at a human ten thousand years ago born in a cave, they really didn't have anything. That default state is now what we call poverty.

It's constantly looking for your next meal. It's constantly not knowing if you're safe. It's constantly trying to survive.

A better mindset to have is:
"What causes prosperity?”
"How can I be valuable to society so it gives me money?"

Splurge:

I've been using ​GoHighLevel​ to massively consolidate a bunch of services I pay for. This month I've replaced these:

  • Calendly ($200/yr)

  • LiveChat ($1,008/yr)

  • Framer ($1,116yr)

GoHighLevel at it's core is to manage all your customers, but it's got a lot of stuff built on top of it like calendars, website builder, email collection, email sending capabilities and ​waayyyyy more​.

My most-hated part about these all-in-on platforms is the initial setup when you're a newbie to the platform.

GoHighLevel has something I've never seen before: A button you click and instantly start a zoom with a person who will just help you do anything:

That has been super helpful for initial setup, and then any other tasks I had I used their little AI chatbot (which you can make your own too) for help.

If you use ​this link to signup​ and try it out, you get a 30 day free trial versus a typical 14 day free trial. Check it out!

Sincerely,

Neville Medhora
