I vanished from the world for 7 days.
I went off-grid.
Why?
Because billionaires do it.
I am not a billionaire by wealth. I certainly am by mindset.
Just kidding.
This is the longest break I have had from work in 2 years.
Previously, I wouldn’t be absent from work for more than 3 days.
Tbh, it was boring. Yet I feel fresh.
I enjoy and love my work more than anything.
Here’s what I did during these 7 days:
- Ate like a bunny
- Slept like a bear
- Watched the Narcos series like crazy
- Read books like Aristotle
I read the following books:
- Sell Like Crazy by Sabri Suby (Must-read)
- Dopamine Nation by Anna Lembke (Highly recommended)
- The Courage To Be Disliked by Fumitake Koga and Ichiro Kishimi (Waste of time)
Now, you might think that these past 7 days were counter-productive.
I agree 100%.
It was counter-productive.
Still, I managed to:
- Bill $650 to a client.
- New strategy
- Made a friend who is travelling solo in Europe
Now, My dream is to automate my business in the next 9 months while:
- Working towards 1 million subscribers.
- Building a $100k Outsourcing Agency on Upwork (I laid the foundations yesterday)
- Expand my team to 10 people
And go travel Europe solo.
Solo travelling might sound boring.
It is.
During Covid, I packed everything and went to live in the Mountains alone.
I got pretty bored.
And during that boredom, I was forced to do something about it.
I went out and had the most exhilarating experiences of my life.
I will remember these all my life.
A similar scenario happened with me during the past 7 days.
I was bored like hell.
If you think that I enjoy watching seasons or reading books. You are gravely mistaken, Sir.
I do not. I enjoy my work more than anything.
Nothing gives more dopamine hits than my own work.
Seeing my company grow.
Anyhow, during the boredom, some crazy ideas hit me. Along with clarity.
Both of these are necessary for the growth of my media company.
You will have to wait for them until tomorrow.
Until tomorrow, Armano.
Adios,
