That attention was the new currency and would play a major part in my success as an entrepreneur.So, I started building my brand on LinkedIn in early 2019. And the results were pretty phenomenal.In just 6 months, I grew from zero followers to over 20,000.And on August 1st of 2019, I walked away from my executive role at a fast-growing startup.Since that day, I've spent my time building a number of one-person Internet businesses.My results:→ $12.5M+ in business revenue at a ~86% profit margin.→ 800K+ people following my journey on LinkedIn→ 560K+ people following my journey on Twitter→ 180K+ people read my weekly newsletter→ 1B+ impressions in the last 7 yearsIf you want to learn more about how I did this, you can take my self-guided masterclass.THE CREATOR MBA DIGITAL COURSEThe Creator MBA teaches you frameworks for turning your knowledge and expertise into a quality product that people will buy.

A stupid simple way to stand out in business (and life):

Be extremely easy to work with.

Be an optimist.
Be a pleasant person.
Respond quickly to requests.
Always do what you said you'd do.

That's the basics.
That's really the whole strategy.

An alarming number of people are bad at all of these things.

They're pessimistic.
They're miserable to be around.
They take weeks or months to respond.
They drop the ball on every major project.

Then, when that eventually catches up to them (it always does), they tell the whole world that everyone else is the problem.

I've worked with a lot of incredible people over 23 years.

The ones I stay in touch with had a few things in common:

They were excellent at their job.
They made my life (and MY job) easier.

Want to build a better life and business?

Clear that bar.

It's a competitive advantage that costs you nothing but a little time and extra energy.

If this kind of thinking resonates, I write a weekly newsletter you might enjoy.

Counterintuitive ideas on earning money, reclaiming your time, and building a life you choose.

Your brain is sick and tired of content.

It wants you to be creative.

Over the past 6.5 years, I've written:

- 3,559 LinkedIn posts
- 4,107 Tweets
- 789 Instagram posts
- 456 Threads
- 278 Substack notes
- 266 newsletter issues

And here's what I've learned:

1. The more you create, the happier you are:

On the days I'm sharing my creations, my mood is incredibly elevated. There's nothing better than learning something and sharing it with other people.

2. The more you consume, the more pessimistic you become:

Whenever I go down a rabbit hole on LinkedIn or X, I get bummed out. Culture wars, fighting, lack of empathy for our fellow humans. It's gross.

3. The longer you write, the better at your craft you become:

If you write every single day for a long time, you will eventually become a relatively decent writer. And there's no better way to communicate your thoughts.

4. The more you outsource creative work to AI, the dumber you become:

The more AI does your creative work, the more you forget how to be creative and original. You sound like everyone else. You blend in. You're not interesting.

TL;DR:

1. Create daily
2. Consume less
3. Write until you're good
4. Don't outsource creative

I teach 200,000+ creative entrepreneurs how to:

- Get attention
- Keep attention
- Monetize attention

Losers play zero-sum games.

Winners root for everyone around them.

If you don't believe me, look at the vast majority of successful people on this platform.

They aren't jerks.
They don't play games.
They don't hate on each other.

They simply try their best to lift up everyone around them.

Is it a perfect data point? 
Do haters sometimes win?

Of course.

But I'm not interested in the outliers.
I'm interested in what happens 90% of the time.

Lead from the front, be optimistic and supportive and lift someone up when you see them accomplish something worth celebrating.

Be a karma entrepreneur.

Because even if you're successful as a hater, it's far more lonely when you get there, and nobody's there to congratulate you.

Unhappy people ignore the basics.

They make life insanely complicated.

They sleep poorly.
They neglect their relationships.
They destroy their health while building.

The happiest people I know do four (boring) things really well:

1. Marry someone who compliments them.
2. Spend time working on their health.
3. Build a business they own.
4. Protect their time.

That's it.

Sure, there are lots of other things that are nice to get right, but if you nail these?

You're miles ahead of the average person.

The basics aren't sexy.
But they're the whole game.

If you're overcomplicating your life, maybe it's time to revisit the building blocks.

I write about this every Saturday for 180,000+ entrepreneurs. One short essay that helps you rethink money, time, and living well.

Maybe nobody in your family is an entrepreneur.

Nobody in mine is.

They didn't work for themselves.
Nobody built something from scratch.

My parents didn't bet their income on an idea they had in the shower.

From when I was a kid, the path was always laid out:

Get a degree, get a job, stay for 40 years, and retire.

That was the plan. 
And everyone I know from back home followed it.

So when you say "I want to build something on my own," sometimes you don't have anyone in your corner who understands.

They're not being mean or disinterested.

They just don't have a frame of reference for what you're describing.

I've found that to be a big advantage, actually.

The people who grew up around entrepreneurs usually inherited someone else's playbook.

They work through a set of assumptions about what a business should look like. 

How much funding to raise. 
How hard it's supposed to feel.
How many employees you need. 

Maybe you don't carry any of that baggage.

You get to start with a blank page. 

You don't have to live up to anyone else's expectations about how big your business should be, or how fast it should grow, or what success is supposed to look like.

The first person in any family to do something different has one thing nobody else has: 

The freedom to define their life and business from absolute scratch.

You just have to be willing to figure it out without a map.

I write about this path every Saturday for 180K+ entrepreneurs.

Pessimists are right.

Optimists are winners.

It sounds cheesy and cliché, but the fact is, you attract people like yourself.

So, if you're one of these people that complains about everything, and life is terrible and unfair, and everyone and everything is against you...

You're going to lose.
Misery is contagious.

Those people are downright awful.

You can get 1000x farther simply by being an upbeat, enthusiastic, wildly inspiring cheerleader.

Be excited.
Have confidence.
Support everyone around you.
Make connections that are helpful.

Whatever you lack in skills and knowledge can be at least partly made up for in your sheer attitude.

I just wrapped up with some of the coolest, most upbeat, most excited people down at Kajabi HQ in Newport Beach, and we put together a new, completely free course for folks who want to build their own business.

But you can't be some down-on-your luck sad sack if you're going to make it happen.

If you've got good energy, good vibes, and believe in yourself, come check it out. 

It's called The Expert OS.

Over 30 days, I'll walk you through what to sell, how to build it, and how to get paid.

- My 10-email launch sequence that sells
- My AI prompts for when doubt is a little louder

The richest people I know aren't multi-millionaires.

They're people with empty calendars.

They hardly have any meetings. 
They don't have Slack on their computer. 
Sunday night is just like Thursday night...

No dread.

They designed their businesses primarily for peace of mind.

Everyone else is on autopilot, doing the exact opposite.

More clients.
More projects.
More revenue.
More complexity.

And every time they add more, they get less of what actually matters in life.

I know because I did this for a long time. I took a startup from $0 to $70M and nearly destroyed myself in the process.

Not sleeping. 
Coping with alcohol. 
Paramedics at my house after a panic attack.

Nobody told me to live like that. I just kept saying yes to the next logical thing until I looked up and didn't recognize my own life.

So when I built my own business, I designed it around one question: What do I want my average weekday to look like?

Here's how I approached it (and how you can too):

1. Set your "enough" number. 

Not your dream number. 
The one where money stops being a daily worry. 
Build to that and don't go beyond it.

2. Work backwards from your ideal day. 

What time do you stop working? 
How many meetings do you have? 
When do you exercise, eat, read, hang with fam? 
If the model doesn't fit the life, change the model.

3. Subtract before you add. 

Every new project costs you your time. 
Before adding, ask "what does this take away from?" 
If it takes away something important, don't add it.

4. Automate earning money. 

Your sales page, your emails, your delivery. 
Everything should be automated. 
If you have to be "on" 24/7, it's not a business.

5. Protect empty time like it's revenue.

The white space on your calendar is yours.
It's where your best decisions happen. 
Fill it, and everything gets worse.

Save this post and revisit it often. 

It's the difference between building something that makes you money and building something that makes you absolutely miserable.

I write about this stuff every week in my newsletter for 180K+ entrepreneurs. 

What's working, what I stopped doing, and what I'm still figuring out.

As a free bonus, you'll instantly get my 2026 LinkedIn Growth Guide when you sign up. 

It's the playbook I used to go from 2,000 to 830,000 followers.

Who cares about revenue?
Who cares about followers?
Who cares about press coverage?

None of that stuff will ultimately make you happy.

Here's what an awesome life looks like:

You wake up without an alarm.
You spend some time working out.
Your calendar has nothing you hate.
Your work fills you with incredible joy.
You spend quality time with your family.
You get to go outside and be in nature.
You get a little time to yourself, too.

What a life.

And guess what?

If you prioritize fulfillment over status, your dream life probably costs less than you think.

The more you do, the luckier you get.

That's what my Dad used to tell me.

Turns out, he's a pretty smart guy.

The "luckiest" people I know often operate in a different gear, especially earlier in their lives and careers.

- They read and learn more.
- They reach out to more people.
- They show up to more opportunities.
- They share their knowledge more freely.

In the end, luck is just the aggregate total of time spent learning + the sheer number of good things you've put out into the world.

Is it a guarantee?
Nope.
Not much in life is.

Does it increase your likelihood?
Hell yes.

So, if you're not feeling as "lucky" as you'd hoped, consider adding a few more reps this year.

Read, write, connect, and share.

On August 2nd, 2019, a good friend of mine told me I was making "the dumbest mistake of my career."

The day before, I had walked away from a high-paying C-level role at a company worth north of $500M.

I'm sure he wasn't the only person who felt that way.

I think my parents might have.
Most of my friends probably did.
And my old co-workers thought I lost my mind.

But when I looked around at everyone else's life, here's what I saw:

A bunch of people who had made reasonable choices their whole lives, and ended up unhappy.

What do you do with that kind of information?

My only thought was to act on it accordingly.

So I made an "unreasonable" choice.

And that choice led me to the life I live today.

One with:

- Curiosity
- Freedom
- Autonomy
- Excitement

Sometimes choices that look wrong build lives that feel right.

I write about these kinds of choices every Saturday in my newsletter.

Living well comes down to 5 things.

Here's my personal take on it:

1. Help people: 
A life of service gives you purpose.

2. Get healthy: 
Nothing matters unless you're in good health.

3. Love your family: 
A close-knit circle warms life incredibly.

4. Build cool $h*t: 
The best vehicle that lets you achieve this.

5. Travel the world: 
Learn how others live so you can relate.

(and of course, for each person, there are other additions)

Things not on this list:

1. Working weekends.
2. Climbing the corporate ladder.
3. Chasing the most money possible.
4. Working to impress people you don't even like.

The crazy part is that most people spend 90% of their time on the second list.

Then they wonder why they feel empty when they "win" that game.

Here's what I've learned building my business:

The more I subtract, the more I can focus on the first list.

Fewer projects to manage.
Fewer obligations on my calendar.
Fewer things that pull me away from what matters.

You don't need more. 
You need less of the wrong stuff.

Protect the five. 
Ignore the rest.

Quiet people don't win.

I hate that, but it's true.

Look around at who's getting all of the opportunities, the clients, and the attention on social media.

I guarantee you that most of the people with the biggest followings aren't the most talented people around.

They're the hand-raisers.
The people who post the thing.
The guys and gals who send the DMs.

The world doesn't reward you for having the best-kept secret.

And if you think your work will speak for itself? Think again.

Will someone notice if you just keep your head down? Probably not.

The facts are:

The people winning aren't smarter than you.
They're probably not more qualified.
They may not even have better ideas.

They just decided to speak up.

They got over the cringe of being public.

They stopped waiting for someone to hand them a mic.

They started acting like they belonged in the conversation.

And guess what?

It never stops feeling a little weird.
You just get used to it.

You realize that staying invisible is a choice with consequences.

So if you're sitting on some expertise, ideas, or a business you believe in, please stop hiding it.

The world isn't coming to find you.

You have to go find the world.

That's exactly what The Expert OS does for you.

It's a (free) 30-day challenge where you'll put yourself out there, build a small profitable offer based on your skills, and sell it.

In 30 days, you'll have your first paying customer.

It includes:

- My emails
- My templates
- My landing page
- My automations
- My AI prompts for ease

Start here: https://buff.ly/HdEvVii 

Your expertise deserves an audience. 

Go get one.

The smartest people on earth are finding time away from their job to build something small.

Something lean.
Something profitable.
Something they can earn with.

A micro-business or side hustle or whatever the heck you want to call it.

Because building something of your own is the truest way to become a better person.

There's power in building.
There is learning in building.
There's failure, adversity and success.

And in order to get ahead in this world, those are things you're going to need.

Yes, you might fail.
Yes, there will be days that suck.
And yes, someone will make fun of you.

Who cares?

Do you want to sit around for the next decade and wonder when the robots are coming for your job?

Or do you want to be proactive in taking control of your life, career and family?

I know what my decision is.

So go out there, get curious, learn about something incredibly useful and then come share it here on LinkedIn.

A few years later, you'll have the leverage you need to completely own your life.

There's nothing worse than holding onto a terrible job because you have to.

But a lot of people are in that situation exactly. It sucks.

I can remember being there back in the mid 2000s.

$35,000 in credit card debt, living paycheck to paycheck, trying to figure out how to find a better job that would pay me a little more.

Something I actually enjoyed.

Back then, there weren't that many additional options.

But today? There are more options, at low-to-no cost, than ever before.

- Selling an eBook
- Producing digital products
- Landing a few consulting clients
- Doing some coaching on the side
- A community of people with similar interests
- Productizing anything you know or are good at

The world is literally your oyster.

It's not easy at all.
It takes time.
It takes energy.
It takes effort.

But life (and work) is infinitely better when you have options.

If you don't know how to start, try building an audience first.

I'll show you exactly how inside my free 2026 LinkedIn Growth guide.

- The one posting strategy for 10K+ growth

I think you already know the best thing you can do for your business. You know how I know it?

Because it's as easy as picking what you're most afraid of.

Fear and discomfort are the one-two punch  predictors of "stuff I should be definitely doing." 

Things like:

- Sending that first piece of content out.
- DM'ing someone you greatly admire.
- Asking someone to buy your offer.
- Building in public.

You've been thinking about this stuff for months or weeks.

Maybe you're distracting yourself and stalling by reading, thinking, and talking all about it.

Maybe it's time to stop all that?

Because doing something makes it REAL.

And real means you might fall on your face and look a little silly.

But it's nearly impossible to do something great without looking like a fool for some period of time.

That's just part of the journey.

The longer you wait...the louder that fear's gonna get.

I've got a simple solution for you.

I will grab your hand (digitally) and walk you through the first 30 days of building an online business for free.

One step at a time, so the fear never gets to make the decision for you.

It's my new 30-day challenge called The Expert OS.

I'll show you how to choose a niche, craft an offer, set up a funnel, and get moving.

You'll get free stuff, like:

- My $12M sales page template
- My 10-email launch sequence that sells
- My instructions for building a lead magnet
- All of my AI prompts for when your brain is frazzled

It's free.

Build your life first.

Build your business second.

Most people mess up and do it in reverse.

Here's what that mistake looks like in reality:

- Not paying attention to your spouse
- Not prioritizing your health and wellness
- Not being fully present with your family
- Being too tired to enjoy the money you make
- Not being able to sleep because you're stressed

I've been there and done all of that stuff. It sucks.

The reverse is a helluva lot easier:

- Sacred coffee time
- Scheduled family walks
- Always present when it matters
- Getting great sleep and feeling refreshed
- Sacrificing a little money to live a real life

Is it easy? Hell no.
Does it take time? Of course.
Will you make less money? Maybe.

But who cares??

Do you really need to spend 40+ years just trying to survive so you can finally enjoy some semblance of a normal life once you retire?

I dunno. Never sat right with me.

If you want to build something that fits around the life you actually want, I built a free 30-day challenge called The Expert OS.

I'll walk you through building one simple offer that makes money without consuming your entire calendar.

Everyone wants to start once the fear goes away.

Newsflash: It doesn't go away.

It doesn't once you've made your first sale, or your first post, or $10,000, or $100,000.

Fear just morphs into something else during the entire journey of entrepreneurship.

In the beginning?
You're scared no one will care.

Then?
No one will buy.

Once they buy?
They won't keep buying.

On and on and on it goes for the rest of the time.

You'll literally always be worried about something, whether you like it or not.

Here's why I'm telling you this:

If fear doesn't go away, then what the hell is the point of waiting?

Start the idea before it's finished, sey sell before the product is perfect, and ship before you're confident.

All that confidence you're sitting around waiting for will finally show up the moment you decide you're sick and tired of waiting, and you just DO something.

It's like going to the gym. 
Reps, everyone.

That's how stuff gets built. 
Not with some big plan.

With motion.

If you're tired of sitting around waiting to feel ready, I built a free 30-day challenge called The Expert OS that will get you up and building a business today.

And you'll get one short action item every morning to continue.

Inside, you'll also find everything you need:

- My process for profitable niches
- My $12M sales page template
- My 10-email launch sequence that sells
- All of my AI prompts for momentum, not motivation

I fired more than 100 people in my startup career.

And I hated it every time.

If I'm being honest, 90% of the time, the person was better off at a different company, and we were better off with a different employee.

Sometimes that's just how business works.

But what bothered me the most was how quickly that person's life changed.

One day, they're making a predictable salary and enjoying the benefits of a good job.

The next moment?
It's completely gone.

I remember thinking to myself:

"I certainly don't want to be one meeting away from my whole life changing."

That was a big part of why I made the leap into my own business back in 2019.

While there was mutual love and appreciation at work, I knew that when the board members rode into town, I was just a guy who had a number to hit.

A line on a spreadsheet.
Not Justin.

So I decided to take the knowledge and skills in my head and turn that expertise into income.

And take that income and turn it into freedom.

A freedom no board member could ever take away.

Every Saturday, I send one email with stories, lessons, and practical ideas on earning more from what you know. 

So you're protected.

You can start at age 40.
You can start at age 50.
You can start at age 60.

You can start afraid.
You can start uncertain.
You can start behind.

For goodness sake, just start.

That's the message from my buddy Nir Eyal.

And I believe in this message more than nearly anything else.

Because every single person I know who's winning is the one who started, analyzed what was working and what wasn't, and did more of what did, and less of what didn't. 

That's it.

But they also believed they could win before they had any proof.

I'm no different.

I didn't start my business because I had it "all figured out."

I started because I had an insatiable curiosity and a deep optimism that I could make it work.

I dipped my toe in the water first.
Then, I started saving a little money.
And got my brain geared up for risk.

Then I jumped.

That belief was the fuel.

Nir's new book "Beyond Belief" digs into all of this stuff.

Why what we believe about ourselves shapes every little thing we ultimately do.

If you've been waiting for the "right time" to start, check out his book.

I got a preview before it hit shelves (two days ago) and loved it.

What's the point of a big, sexy business if you're miserable?

I know it's cool to raise a bunch of money, and hire tons of employees, and be the "next big thing," but you know what's even cooler?

- Free time
- Lunch with your partner
- Time to take your kids to school
- Being able to travel anytime you want
- Complete and utter location independence

No team.
No office.
No investor calls.
No Slack channels. 
No quarterly reviews.
No "culture" meetings.

Instead, you build your life first and your business to support that life.

You probably won't get covered in Forbes.
Nobody will talk about you on X or LinkedIn.
Your family and friends might not brag about you.

But on the inside, you'll have everything.

Thursday afternoon off when the weather's nice.
Dinner on the table at 6 without rushing around.
No alarm waking you up because something's on fire.

But, no matter how often I advocate for this life and business, people still do the opposite.

And I've watched a lot of them burn out because of it.

If you're interested in a better way of living and working, I built a free 30-day challenge called The Expert OS.

I'll walk you through building one simple, profitable offer that doesn't require a team or a 60-hour week.

Just choosing an offer, learning to market it, and automating the sales process.

Inside, you'll also get:

- My $12M sales page template
- My 10-email launch sequence that sells
- All of my AI prompts so you can build in hours

You don't need a personal brand.

You need a freedom brand.

A brand that works for you while you enjoy vacation with your loved ones.

Sounds impossible, right?

It’s absolutely possible.

It comes down to these 3 things:

• Creating the right content.
• Attracting the right people who can buy.
• Positioning yourself as the expert in your industry.

In the past 330 days on LinkedIn, I’ve:

• Attracted over 20 leads.
• Grown to over 3546 followers.
• Generated over 382,265 impressions.

Here’s how I can help you:

Create content that brings the right people to your profile.
Revamp your profile's designs that make you look premium.
Design content visuals that make your brand unforgettable.

And with that, you get freedom.

Freedom to work with anyone.
Freedom to see your parents often.
Freedom to wake up when you want.
Freedom to go on a vacation on Monday.
Freedom to spend most time with your kids.
Freedom to spend more time with your partner.
Freedom to go to the gym on Tuesday noon.
Freedom to decide when you want to work.
Freedom to take a walk at 3 pm in nature.
Freedom to play golf on Wednesday.
Freedom to work from anywhere.

What’s next?

Just drop me a message with the word “CD” and let’s get to work.

What people think works on LinkedIn:

Posting generic “leadership lessons.”
Using complex sentence structures.
Copying what big creators say.
Overexplaining simple points.
Writing long paragraphs.

What actually works on LinkedIn:

Creating clean visuals.
Writing in active voice.
Adding one CTA per post.
Framing ideas with “How I.”
Choosing simple language.
Speaking directly with “you.”
Writing with clean formatting.
Prioritizing clarity in every line.
Breaking text with white space.
Keeping sentences short (one-liner).

And don’t forget to…

Share real experiences and POVs.

You don’t need complicated systems.
You don’t need 20-step strategies.
You don’t need to sound “smart.” 

You just need to say something real and say it clearly.
