Dear Friend,

I just had a conversation with a friend about Tim Ferriss. Tim Ferriss is an individual who was wildly popular among us independent writers, solopreneurs and creators. He was at one point one of the most influential people in the "scene." As I was discussing this, my friend interrupted me and said, "You know what? I'll be honest, Scott, I've never found Tim Ferriss to be all that interesting."

I replied, "You know what? I agree with you. However, ten years ago I would have said that I find Tim Ferriss to be extremely influential and someone who I enjoy gleaning knowledge from."

I then proceeded to tell this individual what I think happened and why I think Tim Ferriss and his influence has declined. The reason is this: In 2007, Tim Ferriss came out with a game-changing book. The book is titled The 4-Hour Work Week. Tim then proceeded to write several other books——honestly, none of them as riveting as The 4-Hour Work Week. However, about 10 years ago, Tim Ferriss made a major shift. He began farting around on podcasts all day and just chopping it up with guests. Never really relating it back down and focusing on the core listener.

It made me realize that I haven't listened to Tim Ferriss and his podcast in almost 10 years——and one of the key drivers of this actually all revolves around one thing...

Tim Ferriss Stopped Writing!

That's right. Tim Ferriss's demise revolved around the fact that he just stopped writing. Tim Ferriss is on record declaring how much suffering comes about in the process of writing a book. It forces you to think. It is something that is hard as hell——and yet the truth is people want suffering.

People want you to suffer because through suffering, you are able to extract and create a tremendous amount of value for the reader. And sure, there are loads of logical reasons why you should not spend your time writing and investing in creating a book. There are other potentially more high-profit activities that you can do.

However, here's the fact: If you want to be a coach, if you want to be a consultant, if you want to be a public speaker, if you want to be any type of knowledge leader, if you want to be a podcaster, whatever it is...

It All Revolves Around Writing!

If you want to differentiate yourself from everyone else——you must write. You must commit to at least creating a book every one or——heck——at worst, every two years. Because it is through suffering and actually writing that real value can come into the world. And don't get me wrong, writing is a lot of fun when you get in the groove——but sitting down to write and have that discipline is nothing short of suffering. But it is through suffering that things become enjoyable——and it is in suffering that you'll stand out head and shoulders above every single other person in your industry.

The reason Tim Ferriss has gone on a decline in terms of influence is because he has stopped suffering. That is, he has stopped writing.

This is why I am such a strong advocate for writing. It is the key differentiator. There are people out there that sell high ticket courses, high ticket coaching, sales training——all of that stuff is bull crap unless you actually package your knowledge into a book and get it out into the world. This all comes about by a commitment to writing.

And this leads me to tell you about something that I think is very important and very special——and that is my writing incubator Write to Freedom. That's right. I have crafted and concocted a program that is designed to get you to six figures writing one thing a month. I am committed to working with you until I get you there. I'm committed to sharing with you my entire business model——which allows me to generate over $400,000 per month (Yes, you read that right).

I get to spend my days doing what I want, reading, writing, thinking, taking notes——and I never have to fear my influence going through a decline like Tim Ferriss's. In fact, if anything, my influence will only compound and skyrocket over the coming decade, and the reason why is because I commit to suffering on a regular basis——and the best form of suffering is through writing.

You're always going to have to choose your own suck. "The suck" is a term that Gary Halbert coined, which revolves around doing something that is not pleasurable. However, if you commit to it, you are never going to have to worry about working for anyone else or sourcing financial freedom for yourself ever again.

At this time, I have six openings to work with me in my writing incubator, Write to Freedom.

In Write to Freedom, you will learn how to create a short, concise book. Then you'll discover how to create a recurring revenue engine that generates $10,000 to $20,000+ per month.

The hardest part in this journey is going from zero to a thousand dollars a month. That is why I have architected Write to Freedom so that it's not just a course. It's an outcome-driven partnership for me to help you and deliver results.

For that reason, I guarantee that I will get you to that first one thousand a month milestone. Then I will give you the roadmap and the playbook to scale to $20,000 per month and beyond.

If you're ready to create real value in the world, then I urge you to watch this detailed video I've prepared:

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.

I have limited spots available because I personally dedicate significant time to each person I work with. So, if you want to create a life where you're writing impactful work that matters——where you have the freedom to be present for life's most precious moments while still earning a substantial income——then watch the video now.

Warm regards,

And always remember,

To stay crispy, my friend.
