There is NO Better Time Than NOW to Create Success
As I sit here in the Denver airport, I find myself reflecting on the enriching experience of interviewing my grandmother about her life journey. She raised five children single-handedly and led our family, the Brambilas, from Mexico to the United States.
At 82 years old, she is a remarkable woman who continues to work to this day. Just before my visit, she had earned $100 from babysitting three children. While I had heard snippets of her story through family narratives, hearing it directly from her was an extraordinary experience.
I believe we should all make an effort to delve into our family histories and learn more about our relatives. There is so much valuable wisdom to glean from their experiences. For instance, I asked her the following question:
"Grandma, you've always been a hard worker, juggling multiple jobs to support your family. What would you say to those who complain that there's a lack of opportunity in the USA?"
Her response was simply, "Don't be a fucking idiot." I found this hilarious! Some people take issue with the tone of my Facebook posts, but my grandmother is the real straight-talker ultimate gangster of NO BS.
She has overcome countless adversities and continues to thrive. All humor aside, she's right. It's foolish to believe there aren't ample opportunities available for all of us.
I firmly believe that the internet provides some of the best opportunities for creating success, especially through side hustles. Think about it - in today's world, you can come up with an idea, build a funnel, create a few TikToks, and potentially land your first sale within 24 hours.
That's incredibly empowering, but it's easier said than done, so let's break it down:
Step 1: You need an idea. All of my close friends are aware that my typical response to their ideas is, "Sounds great - test it!" Ideas are worthless until they're put into action. Too many people waste time pondering ideas, daydreaming about visions, rather than executing them. In my grandmother's words, don't be a "fucking idiot" - stop thinking about ideas and start testing them.
Step 2: You need to know how to build a funnel. This is the most crucial skill for making money online. It's not about running paid ads or creating TikTok videos; it's about building a funnel that effectively converts visitors into customers and leads.
In our most recent Funnels & Offers training session (which I offer for FREE, by the way), I assisted Carl, a mixology influencer, in building a funnel from scratch. Click here to view his instagram and hit his link in his bio to check it. Here is a screenshot of the top of it! How sick!
Building a sales funnel may initially seem intimidating if you haven't done it before. However, the technology I use to construct mine simplifies the process to such a degree that even those with no computer experience can master it.
This is a skill you definitely don't want to outsource. For many of my businesses, I maintain direct control over my funnels, owing to their crucial importance.
Our next live coaching session on "Funnels & Offers" is scheduled for today at 3pm CST. You can sign up for a trial of my funnel building software here . In addition to access to all previous recordings, you'll receive my pre-finished templates, which you can conveniently copy and paste to your account within seconds.
Step 3 involves driving traffic to your funnel. Once you've built your funnel, you're on the brink of obtaining the proof of concept you require. To drive traffic, you have two main strategies to consider:
To recap, start by turning your idea into an offer, build a funnel, and drive traffic to it. Your goal should be to have at least 1 out of 100 visitors opt-in or purchase.
This process, which is essentially THE WORK, should be your daily task. Remember, it's a continuous effort. Together with my team, I launch 20-30 new offers each week. This is the routine that leads to success for six and seven-figure internet earners.

Getting Scammed Sucks
The first time I really got scammed was 4ish years ago. I had this Shopify website that made about $500 a month selling outdoor patio furniture. The sales came in from Pinterest organic pins actually (super under-rated strategy btw) and it was on autopilot for over a year. All of a sudden I got this email from someone that wanted to buy it for $5,000. I couldn't believe it! I was so excited at the idea of selling my website (something I had never done before) I jumped at the opportunity (completely ignoring the obvious fact that the website wasn't worth $5,000). The buyer asked for speed sake if we could do the transaction over Venmo. I said... why not! Sounds great. He sent the $5,000.
I freaked out when I saw the balance! Holy shit this is what selling a website is like this is amazing! How luck am I NO... how smart am I!!!? I'm so smart I'm going to make another one and do the same thing... I had sent him the login to the site and patiently awaited the funds release period from Venmo which was 5 days. On the 5th day I went to login to my Venmo and I saw an alarming message: "You are banned from Venmo for breaking the terms of service"
Worse than that was the $5,000 was retracted to the buyer. I immediately went to call the buyer and then quickly realized I had never actually asked for his phone number.
I tried to look this person up and could not find anything online. I emailed to no response. I contacted Shopify but there was nothing they could do. I got scammed out of my own website. Thank goodness I had removed all my banking and credit card information from the site. If something sounds to good to be true... it probably is. Always practice due diligence. It was a costly lesson but I'm glad it happened and it has made me sharper and smarter. There are many ways to make money online. Some of them have insane risk. Some of them have incredibly high fail rates. Always look at the people teaching them and go through this checklist: - Do they make most of their money from teaching or doing? - Do they have a healthy lifestyle you would model it from? - Is the business sustainable over 10 years? Has the person been doing the business over 10 years? I want you to make money online --- but I also want you to be safe.
