I heard @Travis Sago talking about this somewhere. Selling your sawdust is making money off things you’re already doing. Business example: if I’m already sending DMs and making posts that work, like I did in the ronin affiliate contest… might as well sell or license those posts/DMs/strategy. Travis wrote a sales letter for himself that worked so well he started licensing it out. I recently realized this isn’t just about business. The stuff you do in everyday life could be sawdust too. Especially the things you do for pleasure… There are a lot of new Skool groups popping up in the make money online niche. And that’s great. You can totally do that. Even if you’re not an expert… everyone starts somewhere. Like Travis says you can be a connector. But if you’re brand new and you make a group about making money online… Travis and the people he’s trained might eat your lunch. It MIGHT be a better idea to look at your sawdust… Another example: my friend @Mat N is a lawyer. And he’s a smart guy. And he’s good at internet marketing. But his group is about basketball (my guy is smooth af. When he gets to the mid range I have to squint to make sure he’s not Kevin Durant) 🏀🌊 This year I’ve been more serious about studying the Bible. I’ve noticed how it’s changed me and the way I operate. I’m not a pastor or a guru. Just a guy who can be a helpful guide. But I felt called to start a group around that. So I slapped a movement on it like Travis teaches: “In the Lion’s Den our goal is simple: to help Christian businessmen develop unshakeable confidence so they can lead boldly in their business and in life.” Just opened the doors today. 2 paid members so far. New money from something I’m already doing. It probably isn’t a one of a kind group or offer. But it’s a lot less common than 99.9% of the make money offers out there. The bonus is for me to serve the group better I have to think deeper about what I’m reading and how to apply it.

Mr. Exciting here is going to Lowe's to buy a new dishwasher! BEAT THAT! 😆

Retirement Mojo Philosophy: Retirement is NOT an event. It's not a someday. It's not a number with an ass load of zeroes behind it. It's not age 62, 67 or 70 when you can start taking social security. It's not a life of sacrifice until you get the AARP cards in the mail. It's not a time to crawl up on top of your mountain of money, so bored out of your mind that you take a long, long, ass nap until it's time to meet your maker. It's not living in mortal fear when the price of things go up. It's not shitting your Depends over elections because you're worried some ass hat politician will cut your benefits. It's not miscalculating the "numbers" and then burdening your kids to take care of you until you croak. Retirement Mojo (which is night and day different than Trad Retirement)... ...is a process. That doesn't start SOMEDAY! It starts NOW! ⏲️ I don't want to stop producing income. I don't want to sit around picking toe jam out from between my toes. I just want to produce income WITHOUT ALL THE THINGS I HATE! I want to wake up at 4 am without an alarm clock because (almost) EVERYTHING on my list "to do" is something that is a 10 out of 10 on the mojo meter for me! I want to do THAT until the day someone throws a shovel of dirt on my face complete with my shit eating grin! I was 38 the day I started RETIRING. NOT from retiring from producing income! But RETIRING from doing the shit I hated to produce the income. For example: On a mojo scale of 1 to 10... Where 1 is... I'd rather let Marsellus Wallace call his boys from Compton to go medieval on my ass. To 10... ...Where I get a spiritual erection that lasts longer than 4 hours Managing Sales People was about a 2. A constipated calendar oozing with sales calls was about a 3. The rest of my day (at the time) was filled with 8s and 9s. So... I fired my sales people. And challenged myself to figure out HOW to sell stuff WITHOUT the sales calls. The funny thing is... The "figuring it out" part was actually a NINE on the Mojo Scale for me.

You can NOT steer a parked car. Step ONE is getting in the car! Everything else is mental masturbation. Have you completed step one? "Yes?" "No?" "Doing it today?" Sound off 👇 Rooting For Ya, Travis PS I won’t hate it if you use my Skool affiliate link. https://www.skool.com/signup?ref=9466c32b019e4a9e9b972658159f50e8 But… I don't care if you want to join under my affiliate link or not. I don't care if you use Skool or not. I think Skool will make you $1000s of dollars more than any other community software (because of how it makes lead gen with Polls you can actually DM! No other community software does that, free or not.) ...but that's not the point right now! 👉I want you to take STEP ONE! Because your ODDS of success go WAY UP once you are actually behind the wheel. Rooting For Ya, Travis PS See the SHARE YOUR WINS category for all the peeps who are ALREADY ADDING NEW MEMBERS!

I started my Cashflow Creators Club Skool group a few months ago. It’s made me well over $10k in my spare time as a busy dude with a day job. It’s been an amazing “side hustle” if ya wanna call it that. I’ve been thinking about what @Mike Tielemans posted a few weeks ago about selling the mission. I realized I don’t really have one. I just wanted to start a group, document what I was doing, help my group members, and sell them solutions to their problems. That has worked, but I want to turn it up a notch. I’ve spent a few hours trying to formulate the mission and the movement and I’m stumped… I saw @Travis Sago’s equation (SMALL MOVEMENT = CHANGE + DIFFERENT + DESIRABLE OUTCOME). And his truck driver example. If I wanted to follow that example it’s pretty easy for me to say “day job dads who want their online income to surpass their job income so they can quit” Or “blue collar guys who want to make money online” Or some variation like that of who I am + my own goals. Problem is Cashflow creators club already has 220 members. Some men, some women, some in a similar situation as me, but also a bunch who are already full time online. So I don’t want to make my movement or mission something that excludes people who are already invested emotionally, financially, etc. into the group and in me. I notice in Mike’s post the 3 big points he makes are all about the offer. I don’t have a main core offer that everything builds off of. Maybe I should figure that out so I can reverse engineer? Any input would be great. How do you craft a mission or movement and create a group identity without pushing existing members away when the group is already living and breathing?
