Every Sunday I like to write about 3 random things that are on my mind.
Sometimes these things are about business…
Sometimes they’re about life…
And other times they’re just completely random.
So with that said, let’s jump into the first thing on my mind this morning…
1. Money will never buy happiness, but it does make your life much more enjoyable
One thing I heard a lot growing up was that “you can’t buy happiness”.
Which is true.
However…
That phrase kind of leaves out all the good things money brings to your life.
For example, right now I’m in Sayulita, Mexico on vacation with some friends.
We’re staying at a beautiful 10,000 sq ft villa that’s walking distance from the beach.
We’ve been grilling out…
Swimming…
And enjoying the sun…
For me, this is one of the benefits of money.
And staying in a house like this is a far cry from the Motel 6’s I used to stay in when I went on vacation.
So yes, money will not make you truly happy…
And it won’t fill a hole inside of you…
But it does make your life a lot more enjoyable (and a lot easier)…
And that’s one of the reasons you should want more of it.
Money simply makes life more fun.
Alright let’s jump into my 2nd thought this morning…
2. One of the best things you can do for your money mindset is to over-tip hard working people
I mentioned this idea about a month ago in an email and since then I’ve been religiously over-tipping.
So when I’m at the coffee shop, I give the barista $5…
When I’m out to eat, I tip around 40%…
When the driver at the airport gives me a ride to the rental car area, I give him $20.
I can tell you from experience, this changes the way you look at money.
You won’t feel so “tight” about it.
Which is why I try to over-tip every single day.
Also…
Not only are you helping your money mindset, but you’re also helping hard-working people.
That extra $5 or $10 you give to the guy who helps you with your groceries is a big deal to them.
So my advice is to over-tip whenever you can.
It’s always a win-win.
Alright let’s do one more of these…
3. If you want more of the right people on your list you have to be willing to repel the wrong people
The other day a guy sent me a very angry email cause he didn’t like that I emailed him everyday.
Which is fine…
I told him to simply unsubscribe if he doesn’t want to be on my list.
Which is not what most people do.
Most people freak out when they get emails like this.
And they try to figure out a way to make this person happy.
But for me, that’s not the kind of person I want on my list.
I want people who want to hear from me everyday.
I’m not interested in someone that wants to hear from me once a week…
Or once a month…
I want people who are avid readers…
And in order to attract those people, I have to be willing to lose people that aren’t like that.
Which is why I tell people who don’t like my email style to simply unsubscribe.
If it’s not a fit for them, then it’s not a fit.
But I’m not going to change what I’m doing to try and appease them.
Which kind of brings me back to my original point.
In order to get more of the people you want following you, you have to be willing to repel the people you don’t want.
And this is not always easy to do…
Especially if you want everyone to like you…
But in my mind, you have to be willing to repel people if you want to get the right kind of people on your list.
Make sense?
I hope so…
Cause that’s all I got for ya this morning.
I’m off to make some steak and go for a walk.
Enjoy your Sunday,
– Justin

** How to make 2022 your best year ever **
If you like the insights I share in my emails, you might be interested in working with me in my mentoring program, Copy Accelerator.
You’ll get to learn from me, Stefan Georgi and a group of A-list copywriters every single day.
We’ve already helped copywriters like Amber Peoples, Tanner Henkel, Mario Castelli, Scott Connorton, Michael Rochin, Scott Mills, Krista Edsall and more to scale to multiple 6-figures a year.
We’ve also helped offer owners like Troy Ericson, Steve Gunn, VShred, Scott Phillips, Conor Boyland and more to scale their offers to hundreds (and even thousands) of sales a day.
If you want to see what all the hooplah is about, I suggest giving this a read and see if it’s for you…
