Dear Chase,
I have a date tonight.
I'm currently talking to someone who's in law school down here in Florida. Super smart girl with a ton of potential.
I bet her parents are proud.
Their daughter is gonna be a Florida attorney. Suing people like me when I make claims about how the Amazon Automation offer I'm writing for can make you $1,000,000 in 30 days guaranteed.
She'll make a bunch of money.
Here's the thing, though…
I have never entertained someone with a worse schedule than her.
This poor girl wakes up at 7:00 in the morning to study for a few hours, goes to class, maybe she'll eat lunch, and then she'll study until 11:00 at night.
She'll do this for 3 more years while earning $0, and when she graduates, she'll likely hit $500k a year in her 5th or 6th year if she's REALLY about it.
People often talk about how hard and time-consuming it is to build a business.
Here's what my schedule looked like when I was becoming a freelance copywriter:
Wake up at 9:30 am, grab a coffee, start sending cold emails and DMs at 10:30.
Take a break after 2 hours, have a hearty meal, and put in another 2 hours of outreach.
Then, practice copy for an hour.
Then, do whatever I want for the rest of the day.
Within 3 weeks I was making $4500 a month.
Within 8 months I was at $10k a month.
12 months, $20k a month.
18 months, $48k a month.
In 18 months, with no degree, I built a $600k-a-year business working less than full-time. All profit.
People don't understand what "hard" is.
Studying to be a lawyer while making NO money is hard.
Becoming a copywriter, making money basically right away, and scaling to $200k a year in personal income is not that hard.
It's harder than being a bartender, but it's not harder than being a lawyer, where you will make less money in way more time, and incur 6 figures of student debt.
People need to get their priorities straight.
Maybe I'm wrong, Chase, but I trust you to let me know.
Yours truly,
Alex.
