- Powerful business lesson from Clash of Clans (for real)
Powerful business lesson from Clash of Clans (for real)
This is where I learned to run a business
Do you remember Clash of Clans?
That mobile game everyone and their mom played back in 2018?
Well, I recently opened the app again and checked out my village.
It was just like I’d left it…
Townhall 10
Same clan I’d been in for years
And my X-bow was still upgrading (damn that fucker took ages)
Pure nostalgia.
But here’s a thing I realized:
Clash of Clans is quite similar to building a business.
You’re investing your gold and elixir (time & focus) into leveling up parts of your village (biz).
For example:
Instead of upgrading your Barbarian King, you’re upgrading your storytelling skills.
And then use them in a battle to steal the loot (Dolla bills babyyyyy)!
But another thing is also very similar…
In Clash of Clans, you can BUY your way to the top.
It’s pay-to-win.
It takes SUPER long to keep leveling up once you reach a certain level.
Some objects took an entire MONTH to upgrade.
Luckily…
You can buy gems.
And then use those gems to have all sorts of stuff done FASTER.
Leveling up your clan castle
Leveling up your Barbarian King
Leveling up your dragon in the lab
Believe it or not…
It’s the exact same as business.
See, in business, you can also “buy” your way to the top.
You can level up FASTER than everyone else.
Instead of buying gems…
You can buy:
Books
Courses
Mentorships
…To upgrade certain parts of your business much faster.
I never invested in Clash of Clans, but I DID invest in my business.
$5,000+ at this point.
And guess what?
It paid off.
Despite this blatantly obvious shortcut…
I still see creators refusing to invest in themselves and their businesses.
I hate to break it to them:
But they are the ones who WILL fail.
They are the ones who WILL jump from opportunity to opportunity but never actually progress in any one.
They are the ones who WILL lose years of their lives “building a business” but never reaping the rewards (and then go back to their comfortable, mind-numbing routines)…
I feel bad for them.
They sit on their ass 24/7 going around in circles while being completely ignorant that they could get everything they want at TRIPLE the speed.
I hope you’re not one of these wantrepreneurs.
I hope that you – unlike them – are serious about building a purposeful business.
I hope you see the importance of paying off your ignorance debt ASAP.
But listen…
Not all educational resources are the same.
I’ve tried everything:
Books
Courses
Mentorships
Communities
Group cohorts
And some of them were a total waste of money (and time).
But one of these resources has helped me the most (by far).
Mentorships.
Why?
Because you can get PERSONALIZED advice from someone further ahead.
Someone who’s done what you’re trying to do.
And ideally, someone who actually cares about you.
I want to be that person for you…
That’s why I’m re-opening my 1-on-1 program where we’ll scale your brand to $3,000/mo in the next 90 days.
No matter where you’re currently at.
Immediately after starting our work together, you’ll have a CRYSTAL CLEAR roadmap to how you can scale your brand to $3,000/mo in 90 days.
(While working only 1-3 hours per day).
Better yet?
I’ll be there, holding your hand every step of the way.
You will be able to reach me 24/7 and I’ll answer ALL of your questions (no matter how small).
This is what helped James make his first $2,000 within 14 days of working together (after struggling for 8+ months).
Or helped Horatio get inbound leads at <100 followers.
Or what helped Chethan sign his first high-ticket copywriting client within 21 days.
My systems have been PROVEN to work… And they WILL work for you too.
That is if…
You’re not a wantrepreneur.
Don’t miss out on the $1000s of dollars you could make in the next 90 days.
Don’t miss out on the peace of mind that comes with finally having results to back your effort (and not having to hide your business ventures from your friends anymore).
Don’t be a sheep in the herd of struggling creators who lets yet another great opportunity slip through their fingers.
Take the leap of faith and invest in yourself and your business’s future (like a smart entrepreneur would).
Oh, I forgot to mention…
I’m only taking on TWO creators this time.
And one spot has already been claimed.
1/2 spots remain.
And the earliest I’ll be re-opening spots is in August (if not later).
This might be your LAST CHANCE.
So if you want to scale your brand to $3,000/mo in the next 90 days…
I’ve warned you… don’t be another sheep in the herd.
