The Only Time I'm Going to Do This
So much of my motivation for building this Skool community comes from the liars and cheats. The ones telling people that they can get rich overnight, that side hustles are easy, that you can learn anything in seven days. Success is not an overnight affair, and everything worthwhile takes time. Patience and perseverance are the keys to achieving your goals. One thing almost all of these people do, and I've bought courses to see this firsthand, is using "evidence" as filler. They'll do a twenty-minute video on some topic you need to know, and seventeen minutes of the video are the stories of all the people they've worked with and subsequently made wealthy. "Like Tim, who was stuck in a dead end job, and in week two of working with me was making $9,000 a day." Get wrecked. This is what people who don't know and haven't had success themselves do. I hate it. So, I will not, under any circumstance, spend any time "selling" my wins to establish pseudo-authority. My sole focus here is to provide you with the knowledge and tools to succeed without any distractions. So, one time and one time only, I will list out my successes and some of the reasons I feel qualified to tell people how to build better businesses. Deal? So here they are: Hi, my name is Kerry Morrison 👋. Nice to meet you. My "stats": ✅ My best freelance year, I made $345,000 ( important to me, I took three months off to stay sane ) ✅ My best sales year was $25M ✅ I've helped raise $137M for a range of startups ✅ Largest company I've run, 184 people ✅ Next year will be my 26th in marketing and startups ✅ I've exited two companies That will be the only time I use this information inside this community, and I hope it has helped. 😀

Your Free Books
I'm committed to making everyone who joins this community better. Better at marketing, better at sales, better at business. So, just for joining, I'm going to buy you two of my favorite books from a selection that have helped me the most in my career ( and in my life ). They're digital copies in .epub format, so you can read them in the Kindle app ( on your phone, tablet, computer or Kindle ) or Apple Books. I buy digital copies because they're easier to distribute ( I don't need your home address ). Sorry for those, who like me, love paper books, this is the future. So head over to this link to choose the books you'd like, and I'll get them to you ASAP.

My first question... to social media or not to social media?
Question for @Kerry Morrison and others who may or may not use social media to build their copywriting business - how helpful do you think it's been? Is there something that's worked better for you than another, platform or strategy wise? I'd love to get off it all entirely, but I don't think that's wise... especially as some of my parallel competition is on it and going strong, and I build a lot of connections locally which social media seems to help with. Love hearing what others have done!

Friday Progress Report
I said we were going to keep each other accountable. Not particularly effective week for me, have this linger flu that won't go away, and it's slowing me down, but a few things did get done ( and a big one didn't. ). First what I failed on: 1. Record my first video of the year, detailing out my new business idea ( the why and how it begins ) - this did not get done, I just didn't have the energy for it, and I am quite disappointed in that. 2. Actually finish the development work on the new business idea. It's close, but not done, so again, fail. What did get done: 1. Started a Substack: The Business of You and migrated my old Ghost subscribers there. 2. Created a new business page on LinkedIn: The Business of You. 3. Created a new Twitter account ( I don't have high hopes for this ): @abusinessofyou 4. Wrote 3 posts for LinkedIn/Substack and posted them: 3,741 impressions on LinkedIn, 124 on Substack. 5. Wrote a long post for Reddit in r/Entrepreneur - Everyone Has a Business They Can Start…Everyone ( caught some flack ): 284,000 views, 149 comments, 2400 shares ( i'd count this as a win ). 6. Posted 7 notes and four comments on Substack (this is really how you grow) - nowhere near enough. 7. I did write a script (more of an outline) for my video (just didn't film it) 8. Had two glorious video calls with you folks (coffee chat & Q/A) What I wasted time on: 1. Writing and rewriting things like my Substack description, and About Page 2. Writing two posts that were just not valuable to anyone and throwing them out 3. Watching too many videos on writing code in cursor and lovable.dev (instead of just writing code I'm doing this from memory, which I will rectify with better tracking next week, and trying to keep track of the amount of time everything takes so y'all can see the effort going in, not just the results. No one else needs to go into this kind of detail, but let's hear it. Did we have productive weeks? Are we moving towards those Q1 goals?
