      Love it, and I'm a huge fan ❤
      Although the problem statement of "How to... how to" (min 1:40) is a bit hard to believe by your target audience (I hope I'm one of them lol). It just doesn't resonate and feels like all other "make money" gurus pitch.
      I would rather suggest you focus on problems around practicality that relate to us, database of cases studies to gey motivated and easily drive tactics/strategies, etc.
      I'm honestly not subscribing to get answers for the questions highlighted in the video... there's tons of solutions around that, and ChatGPT is the best alternative

    I started a simple litter pickup business in 1981 as a side hustle and grew it into a six-figure business of 40+ years. I clean up litter debris that people discard outside commercial properties for property management companies. My work is done on foot using simple hand tools. It's almost as easy as a walk through the park. It's not "sexy" but people who are willing to clean up after others are making a fortune.

    Your video shows something to me: Success is a mind game.
    If we aren't good at that game, we lose. Your deep work strategy proofs it.
    I quit my job 7 days ago. I am unemployed and want to build an online empire. What motivates me is your approach: "I can make a product out of the questions I have myself". That's what I am doing, too. Asking: Which mindsets, strategies, etc. helped to become successful!

For example, on Day 1, what were some of the things you were doing when you were in your flow state (what were you writing on the sticky notes, how did you prioritize things, etc.)?
    Great video. Love what you're doing.

    i really wanted to check out your website and actually got excited about it when i opened the link, when i saw the pricing it got me kind of upset tbh, i cant afford to pay such amounts. I think maybe something you should consider is making a few story's free and then charging the same amount for the entire package yk. Because i know for sure if i find something that gives me a idea to start my own business (i've been thinking about it for months now) and i made money with it i would certainly buy the access to more story's. Anyway thats my point of view, really inspirational how you started this, lots of respect to you definitely! (sorry if my English isn't perfect lol)

    Thank you so much for the video, I found it helpful and inspirational! I’m at a similar situation as you were back before you decided to finally sit in that Starbucks.
