As a new experiment, I’ve set myself a “weekly work budget.”
It’s the opposite of the workweek, which mandates how much time you MUST work.
The weekly work budget mandates the amount of time each week I’m ALLOWED to work.
If I work more one day, I have to take it out of another day.
The total time I work by the end of the week has to be less than the time I’ve set for myself (currently 24 hours).
I’ve set myself a weekly work budget because I tend to waste a lot of time supposedly working but actually just checking email and Skool… switching between projects (why not? I’ve got ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD to do everything!)… and not prioritizing what actually matters.
So far it’s working brilliant. I’m only wondering why it’s taken me 12 years of working by myself to hit upon this.
I’m telling you this in case you also work for yourself, and in case you spend more time working than you like, and getting less done than you like.
If so, a weekly work budget might be worth trying.
I’m also telling you this because I’ve already spent a bunch of time working today. I’ve had a couple calls — one with a possible auction partner, and a second with a prospect — now turned client, the first I’ve had in years — who replied to my “DFY newsletter service” offer a few days ago.
Those two calls, plus some other work I’ve done today, mean I haven’t had time to prepare any more bonuses for my ongoing Tour de Commandments event. And who knows, with my weekly work budget quickly draining out, I might not have time to prepare any more by the end of this week either.
Will that kill this Tour de Commandments deal for you? I don’t know. Maybe the following list of bonuses will be enough to entice you.
The deadline for this event is this Sunday, May 17, at 12 midnight PST. If you act before then (instructions below) you get the following bonuses:
#1. “Manna for Marketers” live workshop and implementation call
Happening next Wednesday at 8pm CET/2pm EST/11am PST. I will cover how I’ve consciously applied these 10 Commandments of Con Men etc. in my biz. I’ll also offer you my help and input if you want to raise your hand live on the call, and ask me how to apply any of these commandments to your biz (or life).
#2. “3 lessons after $18,487 spent on running Amazon book ads”
Over the past 7 years, I’ve spent $18,487 on Amazon book ads. The majority of those ads have been for my two “10 Commandments of SOMETHING” books. I’ve put together a report on the 3 main lessons learned after 7 years, thousands of copies sold, and $18k+ in ad spend.
#3. “40 Pages to Authority: A $1k article series”
Back in 2023, the the Professional Writers Alliance paid me $1,000 to write a 4-part article series about my experiences writing, promoting, and profiting from a 40-page book (my first 10 Commandments book).
PWA made these articles available to their paying members only. But you can get them as a free bonus for taking me up on my Tour De Commandments offer.
#4. “How I made an extra $1404.53/month in Amazon royalties at the push of a button”
This report outlines a hack, which involves the push of a button — literally, that’s all there is to it — and which made me an extra ~$1.5k per month in Amazon royalties. I used this hack once, over the span of a few months, or rather a few weeks. I made money with it. And I never used it again.
I’m not saying anybody else should use this hack. I’m not saying anybody else should NOT use it either.
All I’m willing to do is to tell you what this hack is, why I’m no longer using it myself, and how you can try it out yourself, if you so choose, to make easy money off Amazon.
#5. “The best direct marketing book of the past 15 years”
That’s according to me, somebody who has read and reread all the great direct marketing books, and some of the not-so-great, and who has made millions in sales via the ideas I’ve learned in those books.
Odds are excellent you have not read this book or even heard of it. But I will tell you what it is so you can grab it on Amazon, and I’ll even give you $15 in Bejako Bux so you can get it effectively FREE.
#6. “The best course on selling via email I have personally found”
The information in this course has influenced a ton of people online, indirectly. Yet I never hear anybody talking about this course directly, or implementing the complete system inside, rather than just one fraction.
(I have been going through this course and implementing it myself and helping my coaching students implement it.)
If you like, you can be among a select elite of people who both know about this course and who profit from it. Because, if you take me up on my Tour de Commandments offer, I will tell you where to find this best course on selling via email, for FREE, and completely legally.
If you want to take me up on this Tour de Commandments offer, here’s what to do:
1. Grab five paperback copies of the 10 Commandments book (or four, if you’ve already got a paperback and can dig up that receipt as proof)
2. Forward me your receipt (or receipts, if you already got one) from Amazon
3. I’ll get you in for the Manna for Marketers workshop, and get you access to the above bonuses, as well as others I release in the coming days.
Again, the deadline for this event is this Sunday, May 17, at 12 midnight PST.
If you’re in, here’s where to take me up on this offer:
