Hey there,

That subject line is 100% true, I made $10.92 selling my books on Audible this month. It's not a joke, it's more of a reality check versus the crap ads you see on YouTube and Instagram with "Gurus" telling you how some college kid made $230932.49 in 18 hours from his dorm room selling Alibaba dropshipping.

Being a real creator of powerful content doesn't always have a huge payoff. Your art doesn't always sell. Your services may have a demand curve.

The important part is looking at the positives.

Sure my two books only made $11 this month, but I've made that and more every month for the last couple of years. Plus the initial sale from the book release, all said and done, it's a much larger number. The print versions make more, and then there are the Amazon book funnel sales, etc. Every little bit counts.

I have blogs on Medium that still pay me amounts like $2 - $15 per month. Blogs I wrote years ago now. Still paying, and every little bit helps. It pays for my Medium membership every year plus a profit.

That said, in our core business, we all want to make real money. And most of you already are. But it doesn't mean you can't use a little help.

Our agency brings in over a million in revenue that we made by helping small business owners and entrepreneurs make money for their businesses. My co-hosts and resident experts, Holly, Scott, and Scott, (Two Scotts are better than one) know everything from business management to sales and digital marketing. From holistic business coaching to building servers and maximizing funnels.

How about some expert advice for 2022?

In our Business Builder Mastermind, we have live video chats every week that we call OFFICE HOURS - where we have short lessons about business topics as well as Q&A every week, goal tracking, and accountability.

We also help fight off entrepreneur isolation with REAL COMMUNITY, not just some FB group. We have video messaging through Marco Polo, to keep the community vibrant and available, and allow you to get advice, opinions, and chat with your peers and our experts. We even have a nickname for our members, calling them Busines Builder Ninjas. I know it's cheesy, but we enjoy it.

You can try it for nothing. Nothing to lose, everything to gain.

It's your choice.

Take 2022 by the ___[choose your own colorful metaphor]___ and let's build your business together.
