Dear Chase,
Bit of a weird one for you today.
Recently, a friend of mine has just become single.
He's young. He's 21, fairly new to Miami, and just has this zest for life that I haven't seen in somebody in a while.
Regular-looking guy, pretty normal, and he has some money. He's doing well for himself.
I've been watching the way he behaves over the last few months of being single.
He started off a little down-in-the-dumps, as every guy does when they just become single.
Doubting his ability to meet people, low self-esteem, etc.
But in the last 3 weeks, he's been putting in work.
This young guy has gone from being a little lonely to having 3-4 dates a week, talking to a couple of beautiful women, and having a ton of fun in the "dating scene".
Like, zero to 60 in a very short amount of time.
I've been observing his behavior and trying to figure out how he was able to revive his dating life in only a few weeks.
When I go out with him, he's talking to almost every attractive girl he sees. Let's say 6 per night.
He might only get 1-2 of their numbers, but he doesn't let rejection stop him.
He's also pretty active on dating apps and on social media.
He's matching with a bunch of girls on these apps, and every time he sees an attractive girl on Instagram, he'll send a DM with some sort of pickup line.
His strategy is to never let ANY opportunity pass him by when it comes to someone who could be his next girlfriend.
He's giving himself the gift of abundance by talking to more girls than he can handle.
Obviously, being me, I took this as a chance to teach a lesson about outreach.
This is exactly how I was when I was starting off as a copywriter.
Every business owner I met in person, I told them I was a copywriter and explained briefly how I could help their business.
I was on every single job site looking for opportunities. I was applying to 5-6 potential gigs per day.
I was on freelance sites, sending another 5-6 proposals per day.
Every time I saw a business on IG, Facebook, TikTok, or LinkedIn, I was pitching them in the DMs.
And then I was following up via email.
And then I'd find the founder on another platform and follow up again if I didn't get to pitch them directly.
I was just like my friend, but I was trying to make money lol.
I did an all-out blitz to try and get business in as quick as possible. I was trying to get PAID.
Couple lessons here:
1. Don't be shy when it comes to reaching out to people and pitching them. If you're shy, it means you're not doing enough volume. My friend has ZERO approach anxiety with girls because he does it so much. It's automatic for him now.
2. You need to do about 3-5x more work to be at "baseline" than you think. "Oh I don't wanna do too much outreach because what if I have TOO MANY CLIENTS???" Stop. You won't. What you WILL have, though, is abundance. And this is the best place to operate from if you wanna be successful.
Hope this was relatable in some way or another to your audience, Chase.
Go out there and find a date.
Uh, I mean, a client.
Yours truly,
Alex.
