Every day, Starbucks takes your $5 (or more) In return? A caffeine crash and mild regret. Know what $5 should get you? A breakthrough that makes you money. Thatās exactly what happened to Jo. She joined my $5 niche training. Halfway through, she cracked her niche problem. Yep. Halfway. She only needed 50% of the workshop to get a breakthrough. Meanwhile, your coffee's getting cold. She said it loud and proud in an email to me: And sheās not alone. Charlie signed a new B2B client using the...

I sat down with Natasha Hoyer on my podcast. Sheās a sales trainer for women. But she started off serving as a soldier in the German military. This piqued my interest. Why did you want to join the military? How on earth did she make that transition? What skills helped you make the transition? You can feel my curiosity in the podcast. You can watch it here: Stay Limitless, Michael āquestions, questions, questionsā Lim. P.S - I want to give a 95% discount. My āCreating Your Nicheā workshop is...

You may have noticed something odd about me. Iām attempting to grow a beard. Hereās my progress: I usually look like this: This is the longest Iāve ever grown my beard. Iām not helped by my Asian genetics. Iāve got a few bold spots. Some parts grow better than others. The journey has been fun. I don't feel like a 12-year-old boy anymore. But the one thing thatās surprised me? The reactions have been polarizing. Like really polarizing. People either: 1/ Love it. OR 2/ Hate it. Thereās no...

I've got over 86,000 followers on Medium[.]com But I barely crack 2-3k views per article. Here are my April stats so far: And I couldn't be happier. Why? Here's what happens beneath the surface: Almost daily digital product sales ($100-200) Attracting high ticket clients ($2k-3k packages) Most creators would look at my stats and think my business was dying. But while they get the likes and engagement, most are broke. I've had a guy on LinkedIn with 100k+ followers tell me he struggles to make...

Why is it that Sarah booked 5 clients in a weekā¦ While Jack couldnāt even give his offer away? (Yes, this really happened.) There were 2 solopreneurs. They both wanted the same thing: Add $3k+ monthly with a simple offer. Same hustle.Same platform.Same posting schedule. The ONLY difference? Sarah nailed her niche. Jack didnāt. Sarah spoke directly to one person. Jack spoke to everyone and connected with no one. Sarahās DMs were flooded with: āI need this!ā āWhere do I pay?ā āCan I start...

Hey friend, I just finished Ryan Holidayās book: Sitting in a cool cafe in Bali Discipline is Destiny. Solid read. I'm a huge fan of Ryan Holiday. The one myth that the book broke for me was: People think discipline is a solo task. I used to think I could white-knuckle my way to success alone. But it was like pushing a heavy boulder up a steep hill. Because hereās what really happens: I would wake up pumped for 3 days. Then my brain turns into Peter the Product Bro. You remember Peter from...

I got dinner with an entrepreneur from Kyrgyzstan. (also interviewed her on my podcast!) She founded a law-tech agency that helps companies incorporate in Kyrgyzstan. Right now, sheās based out of Malaysia, studying to improve her English. And traveling around Southeast Asia to grow her business. I couldnāt help but be inspired. During our dinner, I asked: What brought you to Bali? She said: āThe people.ā She told me how lonely she felt. How she couldnāt find people like her back home. How...

I just recorded a podcast with Tilman. He shared something raw. His parents were loving. But they werenāt supportive. They didnāt understand his dreams. They didnāt get why he wanted to start a business. So, he had to find his own community. People who believed in him before the results showed up. People who pushed him to think bigger. That changed everything. Because you can have all the ambition in the world... But without the right people around you? Itās like running up Mt Batur in Bali...

I spoke to an ex-CTO of a trillion-dollar company. He was barely making $10K per month as a solopreneur. Despite her experience leading global teams. Building billion-dollar products. He felt stuck. He told me, "Iām used to building billion-dollar products. Why canāt I sell a $5K advisory package?" I said, "In corporate, your title opened doors. As a solopreneur, your story has to." Solopreneurship isnāt about what you built. Itās about what people believe you can do for them now. We stripped...
