Shoveling Manure Pays Off

Hey Rogues!

Here we go on another week of progress toward your goals!

In the spirit of transparency, my previous two weeks were painfully slow with my business, but having a group like you in my corner helps me remember to “practice what I preach.”

So that’s exactly what I did.

I shoveled manure.

For two weeks.

And then this week, some breakthroughs started to fall into place.

Deals closed, and I started making breakthroughs with ongoing projects.

My experience has always shown me that when I keep pushing, eventually things start falling into place.

Whether you’re on the top of the mountain right now or shoveling manure - I just want to remind you that the only way you lose is if you quit.

Progress does happen when you keep pushing forward.

On top of some success with my business, I wanted to share with you that I have finally seemed to find some traction on my twitter account.

We have gone from 250 followers to almost 2500 in less than 60 days and counting so I appreciate all of your support there!

I’ve been able to connect with some amazing content creators and learn some amazing things about the in’s and out’s of organic growth as well as some secret tools of the top accounts.

In the coming weeks, I want to make those available to you so I have been working to package those in a digestible packet or mini course.

I never imagined myself creating a “growth guide,” but having struggled on twitter for years to understand how to get traction has pulled me to make this available to you.

There’s nothing quite like the pain of pouring your heart into a thread for it to be seen by 12 people and get one like.

The first thing you need to start doing if you’re not already, is to get a powerful scheduling and inspiration tool like Hypefury.

Once or twice a week, I sit down and write and batch all of my content and put it on the schedule.

That way - I can spend my day doing things that make a difference for my business and followers or engaging with followers.

I don’t have the mindset to “write every day” yet, but using a tool like Hypefury helps me be able to lean into the times when I “have it.”

More to come on that!

Now to the stuff that I truly love!

Here’s a sneak peak at my breakdown of the lessons that you can learn from Sun Tzu’s The Art of War.-

Here are my favorite, unexpected lessons that will supercharge your results and personal growth:

1. Thoughtfully choose your battles.

Only spend time and energy on conflicts that have meaningful potential outcomes.

That means "let it slide" if it doesn't make a big difference.

However, fight relentlessly if the outcome matters.

2. Visualize your success and victory.

I do mean this in the cheesiest way possible.

Close your eyes and see what it looks like wen you accomplish your goal.

What does it FEEL like when you finally close that deal?

Knowing what it looks and feels like will help you achieve it

3. Stay nimble.

The ability to be flexible and adapt to unexpected situations makes the difference between winners and losers in life and business.

4. Make decisions quickly and decisively.

You can always change course later, but making a decision now gives you the chance to adapt later.

Sitting still and waiting is a losing strategy.

5. Break down big tasks into smaller pieces.

You can only eat an elephant one bite at a time.

Take on your 10 year goal with only what you need to do today.

Staying focused on what you can influence in the present will create the change and momentum you're looking for.

If we can apply these 5 lessons to our lives, we will find ourselves on the "winning" side much more often!

I’m incredibly grateful to have you on this journey with me!

Let’s keep winning together!

Please keep me posted on how I can be of service to you, your career, or your business.

Forever Forward,

Rush
