People dumber than you are making millions
What if I told you that someone with less experience than you is out there doing what you want to do.
They don’t have the experience you have.
They don’t have the education on that expertise either.
They also don’t have the knowledge or your incredible charisma.
But you know what they had? A “fuck it, i’ll find out” attitude.
The Fuck Around Find Out Matrix
Everything good happens when you decide to stop limiting yourself.
Telling yourself you can’t do it.
Telling yourself you’re going to look stupid trying
Telling yourself others are doing it better, so why should you
Telling yourself you don’t “care” about money/success/fame/growth
Because you know what, the moment I started saying fuck it I’ll find out…
Everything changed. The more I fucked around.
The more I found out that I could build the life I wanted on the internet.
And you can too.
The Fuck Around Find Out Test
If you want to start trying this very academic method, here’s how to start:
You don’t need more advice
The right information at the wrong time is there wrong thing.
Asking all your friends what they think will confuse you. But asking yourself won’t.
Reading books won’t get you where you want to be, but taking action on one of them will.
Experiment more, ask other people less.
Do the thing, immediately
I decided I was going to launch a Youtube channel 1 week before my first video went live.
It’s done well, and 99% of the success I attribute to literally just doing it then and there.
The idea was fresh, the excitement was there and the drive and passion for it was pretty much rolling. The energy was perfect.
Made me reflect on the opportunities I missed on by waiting on the perfect moment.
There is no perfect moment. You make it.
Test, execute and iterate - always.
Business is a game
Play infinite games and win infinite prizes.
Like my friend, Darren would say:
You don’t win in business; you keep building.
You don’t win at podcasting; you keep recording.
Focus on inputs and detach from the outcome.
The outcome is a byproduct of elite inputs.
Find the people who fucked around and found out
Don’t make mistakes, learn from other people’s
There’s people who’ve been trying to do the things you want to do.
Failed, won, failed again, quit, came back, won again… and can teach you how to short-cut your way to success.
and FYI inside of my personal branding cohort I do exactly that.
You get everything you need in ONE place.
and on top of that, you know exactly where to go because I tell you what you need and what you don’t need.
Today on our first cohort call of Q1 someone asked me how to build a content system.
I told them go to module X and do Y thing - come back to me next week and update me on what happened.
Next week, and I know for a fact he would’ve won the week.
An old member gave us a post to “roast” - I rewrote it live.
Tailored advice in seconds. No fluff, just real actionable stuff
People don’t need more information, they need support.
Courses suck because I’d never know if you’re getting it right.
With this live cohort, I do - and I help you if you aren’t.
The deadline's fast approaching so I wanted to give you a quick heads-up.
There’s so many awesome people and I’d love for you to be one of them.
That’s literally it, hope you enjoyed this university level lesson.
After all, I am launching a university level programme 😉
I’m an academic what can I say….
First call was so FULL - felt so high-level too.
I’m so proud of what I’m building.
Shoutout to all the new members. I’m so excited to be part of your journey.
Love, Lara x
