You Earn Or You Learn

Are you earning (more than you used to)?

If not, are you learning?

If you're doing neither, it's time for a reset.

I remembered something today:

Either you learn or you earn.

My main issue right now isn't my offer – it works ridiculously well with even a handful of leads.

The issue is traffic.

Not enough eyeballs looking at the offers that work.

But creating the right content takes me effort.

I want to be inspired to do it.

Now even I need to be reminded of my own lessons — being disciplined is not waiting to be inspired.

It's doing it anyway.

I nailed the newsletter part.

It creates replies and sales.

But my main acquisition channel (YouTube) isn't getting the same attention.

If making views is a skill, I need to learn it. Not just dabble. Actually learn it.

Even though I did it countless times for others, and made billions of views.

It's not the same thing when doing it for myself.

The problem I have is that I believe content to be deeply personal.

My content needs to fit:

• My story

• My brand

• My achievements

• What I want to document

Because today, more than ever, authenticity stands out.

When everything is AI-generated, the authentic human wins.

I also remembered that the truth is not found in contemplation.

But in doing stuff.

So which is it?

Learn traffic or earn with execution?

Both, but in the right order.

Traffic without offers is vanity.

Offers without traffic is invisibility.

The most important asset is your offer that turns leads into buyers.

Build that first. Then scale traffic.

Most people do the opposite. They chase traffic with nothing to monetize it.

They end up building an empire of attention that can't convert.

Their foundations are doomed

Be ruthlessly honest. Ask yourself:

"If 100 people landed on my content tomorrow, do I have a system to convert them?"

If not, you need to create that system before worrynig about more eyeballs.

If yes, then it's time to master traffic.

Not by copying others.

But by finding the intersection of:

• Your authentic voice

• What the market wants

• Consistent execution

This means creating content that isn't perfect but exists, rather than perfect content that doesn't exist.

The skill is showing up daily with your message.

Not waiting for inspiration.

Not overthinking.

Just doing.

See you in the trenches,
