I got a message a couple days ago from @Michael Silk. Michael wrote: === I have just seen a post on LinkedIn and the post starts out.. "I just became CEO of a 10M ARR Tech Scaleup. What can you do for us? Comment with your one liner below." (The post set some rules beyond that and how if he was interested he'd get back to people, but that was the main part of the post). === Michael thought I could do something similar here in Daily Email House. The tone of the "10M ARR Tech Scaleup" CEO isn't really my style... but I think the idea is sound. In fact, I already did something like this here in Daily Email House, almost exactly a year ago. Michael's message reminded me that I should do it again. So lemme ask you: What can you teach? What's something you can put a presentation about for people inside Daily Email House? Maybe you just enjoy teaching and are always ready to do it. But maybe you need some better reasons. Here are a few: 1. You can float an idea here and gauge in a low-stress, low-effort way whether there's any value in pursuing it further. 2. If there is interest, you can get my feedback, input, and help into organizing your presentation, or even organizing it into a product. (I'm offering my feedback, input, and help both to encourage you, and to make sure any presentations will be of high-caliber and valuable for other House members.) 3. If you do give your presentation, you can use feedback from the group to polish and improve what you're teaching, so you can then turn it into a paid offer (or a free lead magnet). 4. You can get ready testimonials or even case studies from people here. 5. Though I make no promises about this, if you do turn a presentation into an offer, and if I feel it's a fit for my own list, I would love to promote it, and help you get sales and more exposure. 6. Maybe by teaching something valuable yourself, you encourage others inside Daily Email House to teach something valuable as well, which ends up benefiting you and everyone else down the line.

OFFICIAL GAME BOARD WITH CORRECT GUESSES: 1. Shiny object syndrome, too many systems, books, productivity apps, etc. [@Howard Shaw] 2. Lack of consistency with any system [@Ivan Srsen] 3. Procrastination, inner resistance [@Rene Kerkdyk] 4. Not getting enough sleep, not getting to work when you're actually productive [@Ralph George] 5. Kids, life constraints, legit not enough time, particularly for focused work [ @Aneisha Velazquez] A few days ago, I ran a poll asking how you feel about productivity. The largest number of folks voted to say productivity is a priority for them right now. I then followed up with a lot of those people by DM to ask what they had tried already to be productive... and what was really the end goal with being more productive? I compiled all those answers and looked at common patterns — what sucks now, what would be a great outcome, what's stopping people from getting there. (Incidentally, if you need a marketing and business lesson then ↑↑↑↑↑↑ is a great business practice to engage in. In the words of marketer Travis Sago, "Get your market to write your marketing.") I was thinking of sharing my findings in this post. But you know what's 1000x better than sharing data? Playing a game. So let's play FAMILY FEUD. The question is, "What are the most common causes keeping people from being productive?" As in the TV version of Family Feud, you are trying to guess the 5 MOST POPULAR responses from among those I collected. You can guess as many times as you like. But each wrong response gets you a strike. Three strikes and you're out of the game. Whoever gets the most correct answers WINS A CAR. You ready? Then guess away below:
