The Small Sacrifices That Make a Big Difference 🚀


Hey there!

Last night, I played softball with my men's softball team—just like I’ve done for over a decade. We’ve played more than 400 games together, and I wouldn’t trade those memories for anything.

But here’s the thing…

After the game, the guys usually head out for beers. I love those nights. But I’ve realized something: That one small decision—going out for a couple of drinks—has a huge ripple effect on my productivity.

By the time I get home, it’s late. I don’t work on my business that night. Then, the next morning, even if I only had one beer (yeah, right), I’m dragging from lost sleep—which means I get less done the next day too.

It’s a tiny tradeoff, but it matters.

So, I made a choice. I don’t go out every time. I still show up for the game. I still hang out. But sometimes, I skip the post-game drinks so I can stay sharp and move my business forward.

Small Sacrifices = Big Results

I’m not saying you have to give up everything fun. Balance matters. But if you’re serious about building something for yourself, you have to make some choices.

So here’s my question for you:

💡 What small tradeoff are you willing to make this week to push your business forward?

Maybe it’s skipping an hour of TV. Maybe it’s waking up 30 minutes earlier. Maybe it’s saying “no” to a distraction just once.

Small sacrifices, big results.

Hit reply and let me know what you’re choosing this week!

Here’s to making progress,

Mark

Please Read My Affiliate Disclaimer:

I believe in affiliate marketing because it gives me a way to help people profitably. From time to time, I will promote, endorse, or suggest products and/or services for sale that are not my products. I'm pretty picky and my recommendation is always based on my personal belief that the product will provide excellent value to you and your business. In most cases, I will be compensated via a commission or gift when you decide to purchase that product based on my recommendation. In some cases, I might receive the product for free for review purposes, or just to use. In many cases, I promote products that I actually use in my business (like ConvertKit, the service that sent you this email). That ConvertKit link is an affiliate link. If you sign up for ConvertKit using that link, I get a commission. Make sense?​

Here's a really important thing:

Please don't interpret anything in this email as some sort of promise or guarantee of your future earnings. My results are not typical. We've been at this for more than a decade. You could say I am an expert when it comes to online business. This means I have an advantage over most people. I can tell you this -- success takes hard work. Nothing in life or business comes easy or with any guarantees.

By following my recommendations you always agree to do your OWN due diligence before making any purchases, whether we recommend them or not. Never, EVER purchase anything that you cannot afford. Avoid purchasing products that do not have a clearly stated Guarantee, or that promises quick or ridiculous results. And always wear your seatbelt. And take your vitamins.
