Lessons Learned from Hanging with an 8-figure Entrepreneur in Cali šŸ‘€

Presented by

Happy Saturday, friends! Hope youā€™re off to a good start to summer (or winter), and this is a great season ahead for you.

In this weekā€™s issue, Iā€™m sharing some of the reflections Iā€™ve unpacked after a whirlwind of a week in San Francisco and what I learned from hanging out with my multi-8-figure client šŸ‘€

Why are all your favorite newsletters switching to beehiiv?

Itā€™s because the founding beehiiv team were all early Morning Brew employees who helped scale that newsletter to over 4 million daily subscribers.

Years of trial and error went into building the precise tools, dashboards, and analytics needed to accomplish that. And now every newsletter on beehiiv has access to the same winning formula.

So what exactly does beehiiv offer?

  • World-class growth tools like the referral program and recommendation network

  • Monetization via the beehiiv Ad Network and premium subscriptions (i.e. beehiiv helps you get paid)

  • Seamless content creation with a sleek collaborative editor

  • Best-in-class inbox deliverability of 99%

  • Oh and itā€™s the most affordable by a mileā€¦

Whether it was being in California for the first time, or just the time and experience I was having ā€” it all had me feeling levelled up this week ā¬†ļø. 

My identity shifted as soon as I said ā€œyes, Iā€™ll upgrade to a Mustang convertibleā€. (Which made for a pretty fun drive through Napa valley!)

My ride for the weekā€“backing onto a vineyard in Napa Valley, California (I miss it! šŸ˜¢)

I felt the internal upgrade as the gates opened in front of me when visiting my client and I pulled up and into the driveway in awe, seeing the beautiful mansion I was approaching. 

My identity shifted as we drove through those winding roads with my client in his McClaren. 

These were the things that broke me out of my previous ways of thinking and being. 

I think the nomadic lifestyle offers this too, like in my last few months in Latin America ā€” doing what I wanted, really enjoying the different experiences and environments throughout that time, fully. 

These are the sorts of things that Joe Dispenza would refer to as ā€œthe unfamiliarā€ in which weā€™re best able to create our desired future realities. 

For me, this has looked like stepping into an energy of desire and abundance, rather than that of necessity and lack. 

This can be hard to do sometimes when weā€™re caught up in our daily routines, but I want to also share my experience as a reminder that we can find these opportunities in our own backyards if we look for them šŸ˜œ

Prosperity starts in the mind with this energy and attitude.

Among the massive business and life lessons I was learning from hanging out with this client for a day, the above experience was probably the biggest lesson for me.

We also strategized on scaling operations, focusing on creating sustainable lead generation systems that promise not just to improve, but to revolutionize our approach.

A key takeaway? Effective scaling isnā€™t just about broadening reach but enhancing precision and efficiency at every step. (like the new game-changing way we came up with how to recoup ad costs on the front end to fuel our growth šŸ”„)

Learning about his financial investments taught me how the real wealth lies not in fleeting cash-making opportunities but in continually honed skills and expertise that drive consistent revenue, and growth for the long term.

Looking Ahead: AIā€™s Impact on Business Growth

As we integrate AI more deeply into our business frameworks, the potential for growth is truly limitless.

AI offers not just automation but a smarter, more adaptive approach to business challengesā€”essential for anyone serious about scaling efficiently and effectively.

Curious about integrating AI into your own business strategy?

There are already 345 people registered from 101 countries šŸ˜ƒ 

Letā€™s explore how these technologies can not just support but propel our business goals šŸš€

Would love to see you there as well!

Hope you enjoyed this oneā€”and youā€™re enjoying your weekend!
