Hey friend, I just finished Ryan Holidayās book: 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 yesterday's email, right? The King of āIām grinding, broā energy. One day heās ārebuilding his funnel from scratch.ā Next day heās āpivoting his entire brand.ā Next day heās āadding one more feature because itās almost perfect.ā Meanwhile, heās selling nothing. Shiny new projects, zero new income. "But bro...Iām being disciplined..."ā Discipline ALONE doesnāt work. You need discipline PLUS direction. You need discipline PLUS accountability. You need discipline PLUS people who will straight-up roast you if you try to build Version 97 of your no-sales offer. Thatās why I created: The Inner Circle Community. This isnāt some cute Facebook group. Itās a 12-week no-fluff, no-hiding, no-Peter zone. Inside Inner Circle, youāll:
Stop doing more and start earning more Discipline? Good. Discipline inside the right system with the right people? Dangerous. If youāre tired of solo-hustling yourself into circles, Tired of playing Product Bro Olympics with zero prize money, Come join the Inner Circle. Doors close in 12 hours. Reply ācircleā and Iāll send you the details. Stay Limitless, Michael "biz discipline = biz freedom" Lim |

I was at a start-up event last night. It was hosted by an incubator called Catalysr. These were early-stage start-up founders. One of the speakers was a seasoned entrepreneur. He could have talked about anything. Fundraising, product-market fit, hiring to scale. Nope. He talked about one thing. The power of networks. He said this: āYour network will determine your success.ā He talked about how his first start-up failed. And he went broke. The one thing that saved him? The people he knew. Not...
My email yesterday struck a chord. I received emails like this: While I love hearing from you guys, these emails break my heart I canāt help but feel terrible. I know exactly what it was like to be in this position. Iām not in my 60s, but Iām familiar with being and feeling stuck. 2 years ago, my first business was failing me. I did well in my first year. But I didnāt build my sales engine. My clients ghosted me. A big proposal fell through. I got hit with a massive tax bill. I couldnāt deny...
I would say sorry, but Iām not sorry at all. In fact, I enjoyed it. And he started it. (So itās really his fault) Matt reached out to work with me last year. He told me he was stuck. He couldnāt crack a monthly income goal. He had been working with a coach who wasnāt getting any results. Even after six months of work together. He still had: No sales system. No offer clarity. No real progress. When we started together, we tore down his biz. Rebuilt his offers. Simplified his message....
