Dear Friend,

Today I'd like to tell you a story about the most expensive headache in history. A headache so painful——and so intrusive——that it cost the victim of this headache his entire livelihood. I want to tell you this story because it illustrates the single most important lesson for writers, thinkers, creators seeking to build the lifestyle of their dreams.

It's a sweltering New York summer day in 1925. Wally Pipp——the New York Yankees' star first baseman——strolls into Yankee Stadium feeling like his skull's been stuffed with cotton and jackhammers. He's nursing the mother of all headaches.

Now, Wally's no slouch. He's led the American League in home runs. He's a big deal. He's a quality player. But on this fateful day, he does something so monumentally stupid, so cosmically boneheaded, that it makes me want to reach through time and slap him upside his aching head.

He Asks for a Day Off!

Little did Wally know, but that single decision was about to cost him more than all the aspirin in the world could fix. Because that day, the Yankees' manager, Miller Huggins, decides to give some fresh-faced kid a shot at first base. It was someone that nobody had heard of. So Wally Pip had no reason to fear right? His spot was safe, he was crushing it in the Major Leagues! One day off won't matter will it?

The kid who took Wally's place that day went by the name of Lou Gehrig. And let's just say, Lou went on to have one hell of a career. He plays so well that he keeps the job. For the next 2,130 consecutive games. Let that sink in. 2,130 games! That's 13 years without missing a single game!

Gehrig goes on to become one of the greatest players in baseball history. His name becomes synonymous with greatness, perseverance, and iron-clad reliability. And Wally? Poor, headache-prone Wally? He fades into obscurity. Never quite regaining that pep in his step he once had.

If we extrapolate Gehrig's career earnings to today's MLB salaries, adjusted for inflation and market growth, that one headache potentially cost Wally Pipp...

$2 Billion Dollars!

Now, I'm not advocating that you work when you're genuinely ill. That's crazy talk. But here's the real lesson, the thing that separates the Wally Pipps from the Lou Gehrigs of the world:

The people who make a name for themselves, who build empires, who create legacies——they don't let excuses hold them back. They get after it. They take action. Even when their head's pounding, even when the odds seem stacked against them, even when it feels like the world's conspiring to keep them in bed.

They Show Up!

You think Elon Musk never had a headache while building Tesla? You think J.K. Rowling's head was pain-free when she was scribbling Harry Potter in cafes? Even if they did, they pushed through. They didn't let a little discomfort stop them from seizing their moment.

And that, my friend, is what separates the winners from the Wally Pipps. So next time you're tempted to make an excuse for why you're not yet writing, from building your business——remember old Wally. Remember the $2 billion headache.

And then get your butt in the chair and start writing. Because who knows? Your Lou Gehrig moment might be waiting just around the corner. And it might not be someone replacing you, it might be that frantic call from a boss laying you off from work. It might be that new family commitment you never could have predicted.

There is never a good time to start writing. There's just right now! And the excuses we make will never go away. There is always a legitimate, 100% real, great reason not to write something today.

But fortunately you don't have to go it alone. I know how difficult it can be to just sit down and do the damn thing. It's painful. It's suffering. It's not for the faint of heart.

Which is the exact reason I created my writing incubator Write to Freedom. I knew that one the biggest challenges writers face has nothing to do with technology, health, finances. It all has to do with sitting down and writing. And what's one of the most motivating ways to get yourself in that flow? Surrounding yourself with other people that are doing it. And having a mentor that's already done it walk you through the exact business model that will allow you to earn multiple six figures every year writing just one thing per month.

I believe I've created the most valuable writing community on the planet. And when you venture into my community, you'll be surrounded by people who have mastered the art of Assi-do-it-y. What is that?

The Ability to Sit Your Ass Down and Do It!

And when you surround yourself with a community like this——when you see them every week, breathe in their air, see them writing like madmen——you'll be forced, almost impelled to write yourself. Those little headaches that may have stopped you in the past will feel much smaller. You'll want to join in with everyone else. And stopping won't even feel like an option. And with my help you can write something so valuable that you could easily earn $10,000, $20,000 per month.

I'm so confident in this program that I'm offering a guarantee that's bordering on insanity. If you're accepted into Write to Freedom, I will personally work with you until you're making $10,000 in monthly recurring revenue.

Today is the last day to join before I close it down for awhile. So if you're ready to seize your Lou Gehrig moment, if you're ready to stop letting excuses hold you back, then for the love of all that's holy, watch this video RIGHT NOW:

After watching, we can have a friendly, casual discussion about any questions you have. If it's a fit, great. If not, great——but at least you'll be educated about the best business model out there for creating the lifestyle you truly want.

Please note: Today is the last dayWrite to Freedom will be promoted this month! Active enrollment closes down tonight at midnight.

Even if you find out right now isn't the best time, you'll understand this powerful business model after our call. A lot of people I speak to discover that as they go about their day, ideas for solving real-world problems start to pop up. They realize that they do have an incredible book inside them——one that can truly help people——it just needs a little time to incubate.

So whether you're ready to dive in headfirst or just curious about what's possible, do yourself a favor and watch this video. Who knows? This could be the first step towards creating a book or business that solves real problems and changes lives——including your own.

I like to work with each of my people personally——which means——I have a limited capacity of how many people I can bring on under my wing. I cannot bring loads of people all at once. So I'm not sure yet when I'll be writing about this again.

For this reason——I would like to implore you to watch the following video ASAP:

Warm regards,

And always remember,

To stay crispy, my friend.
