Hi everyone. I am Hamza, A medical student, researcher, and AI automation developer. Also, I'm looking for a partnership with someone who can help me close leads and find projects. I used to be an introvert as a kid (still am, a little bit) and couldn't have imagined I'd become a doctor one day. Fast forward 8 years, I'm in a medical university, doing research and building automations. This gave me confidence that I can accomplish any task if I put in enough effort into it. I've been working on several automation projects in the healthcare industry and other areas. My goal here is to set up an automation agency that helps businesses, startups, and agencies automate and scale while keeping their tasks streamlined and clean.

Perfection was a struggle for me and even to this day it still somewhat shows up in my life but I'd say I have made great progress in handling this. What I was specifically a perfectionist about was my assignments for school. It was following this plan I had set for myself: 100% or else I failed. If I went off just even a little bit I felt that I failed fully, but yet I managed to really overcome this. Let me tell you how I did that. 1. Procrastinating On Work Projects Due to Perfectionism If I got one small spelling mistake I would feel angry and upset with myself and oh I'm a failure and that would probably read it all over again. How I overcame that was simply just understanding that since I was a complete beginner that even just showing up would make me progress. It's kinda like if you had never posted on YouTube before, if you just record some crappy videos you will get progress because your speaking skill will naturally improve. The thing is though, if you do that for over 30 times and you're still doing that, that's not ideal but for the first 30 times if that's all you do then you will still make progress because whenever you're not doing the thing just showing up is really good. 2. All Or Nothing Mindset How I overcame that was simply by just understanding that that was nonsense and that there's no such thing as never making any mistakes and being 100% productive and being 100% committed to the plan and not even going off a tiny tiny bit. I've realised that was complete nonsense and it wasn't realistic and I just said to myself as well: whenever I get a small mess up, even to this day, I'm like, well what would the highest possible version of myself do? Would he just completely go off the plan that he had set for himself to work hard for a short period or would he, whenever he gets one small mess up, just completely fall off and change the entire plan, or would he just push through regardless? The answer was of course push through regardless even if small mistakes happen and that's how I learned how silly it was to be a perfectionist with all or nothing mindset.

Been testing a new opener on a cold email campaign for the past 5 days and wanted to share the numbers + why I think it's working, mostly because a few people here have asked what's been working lately. 1800 sent, 108 replies (6%), 48 of those positive (44% of replies). Small sample, still early, could level off, but wanted to share while it's fresh instead of waiting for a "perfect" case study. The email itself is stupidly simple: "{FIRST_NAME}, I put together a list of 60 {IDEAL_CUSTOMER} that share the exact same characteristics as the highest-paying accounts in your niche and are in need of {COMPANY_SERVICE}. Mind if I send the file over? Aurel" That's it. No pitch, no "I help companies like yours", no case study in the first line. What I think is actually doing the work here isn't the copy, it's the ask. "Mind if I send the file over" is about the smallest yes you can ask for. You're not asking for a call, you're not asking for their time, you're asking permission to send something free. Almost nobody says no to that, and once they say yes once, the second ask (the real one) gets a lot easier. Also no link in this first email, which I think matters more than people give it credit for. Every link you add in email 1 is a reason for a filter to flag you before a human even sees it. Not claiming this is some breakthrough, people have been doing list-based hooks forever. Just sharing because the reply quality has been noticeably higher than my usual openers, and figured some of you testing new copy might want a data point. Happy to answer questions if anyone's running something similar.
