Is that you can get PAID to be yourself.
To become financially free while doing what you love.
To remove the ‘need’ for money, without wasting time.
That is the 1 secret I wish I REALIZED in 2012 when I uploaded my first video to YouTube.
By the way, I am Jordan, 23 yrs old, did over $4M in Revenue and hired over 50 people.
I say realized because I’m sure I’ve heard it many, many times before:
‘You can be paid to be yourself’
But it never hit home…
So what made me realize this truth?
4 points.
1) I ALREADY solve my own problems.
I ALREADY find answers to my own questions.
I ALREADY explore what I want to explore the most in this moment.
Why not film it?
Why not write about it?
“If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.”
~ Toni Morrison
2) By writing it out, using that as the points for my video and uploading it to YouTube I am building the foundation for my dream house: ‘never worrying about money anymore’.
I talk more about why YouTube is my #1 priority here.
More about the money part later in this letter.
3) Creating every day has made me realize MORE of the truths I want to see.
Why? 2 reasons…
A: I have more time (QUANTITY).
B: I feel more responsibility, which leads to a deeper exploration of the question/problem/… (QUALITY)
4) It is those very realizations about my own life that I value highest and so far seem to be the only thing that does not feel like a waste of time.
And after seeing that I have wasted so many years of my life,
The most powerful thing I can do is to use the rest of my time with as little waste as possible.
I mean, would you continue to solve problems in your life or try to find answers to your questions EVEN AFTER you had a $ Billion Dollars?
I think I would.
Think about it…
Aren’t you hitting 2 birds with 1 stone?
Where UNDERSTANDING & FINANCIAL FREEDOM are the birds.
And the creation process is the stone?
THIS is what I wished I realized BEFORE I got a job…
Before I founded my company…
Before I hired over 50 people…
I ignored the #1 opportunity in front of me.
BUT, I do not say that this is the same for you.
Please don’t make my experience your own.
DISCLAIMER: I am a conditioned individual like you.
I may have made some realizations that are absolutely true.
But if you believe me, it will remain a belief.
So the serious person, experiments and examines their OWN experience.
This being said.
If you see truth in my realizations, why don’t you start?
Why would you not start creating after reading this letter?
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”
~ Maya Angelou
It’s a question I can’t answer for you.
I mean, everyone has different reasons.
Yours are unique to you.
So I can only share why I didn’t start.
Because I did not DECIDE.
I did not decide to find a way, regardless of what would happen.
“Where there is no desire, there is no way”
May you find for yourself, by yourself without distracting yourself for once:
“What do I want?”
Only you can find this answer.
Nobody can help you.
I hope you see this, so you stop distracting yourself with research on Google, Reddit, Quora or watching YouTube and listening to Podcasts.
When I did, I saw that I no longer wanted to hide from the important questions in my life.
I wanted to solve the problems I put away in the box in the corner of my room.
When I realized this, I naturally started to crawl towards this box.
And I saw how big the box was.
How full it was.
But I decided.
So it was no longer overwhelming.
Instead it became exciting, to unpack this box.
And I started…
You can start too.
Starting your day with finding the answer to your most acute question or problem in your life at THAT moment.
PS: on some days I don’t see a problem, so I find the thing I want to explore the most.
For example, some time ago I wanted to know the reasons why Alex Hormozi Invested in Skool.com. I went deep on the topic and of course made a video about it.
Do you see how this eliminates any procrastination?
If you don’t then think about the most important question or problem in your mind right now.
How easy would it be for you to search and think about the truth to this?
It would make it extremely easy to get started right?
Why do you think this is?
Because you want to find out for YOURSELF.
You are not doing it for others…
You are not just doing it for money…
For the 1st time in your life, you are doing it because YOU desire to know.
And you just happen to start earning money from it along the way.
‘How’ you may ask.
This is the question of the unserious person.
Because the serious person knows there is not 1 way.
And there is definitely not 1 how.
The serious person always finds out for him/herself.
And I am not interested in talking to unserious people.
If you are serious about this and through reading my words, it hit you somewhere, that feeling that is is your path to a life without waste too, then naturally you get started.
It won’t be easy.
But it doesn’t have to be difficult.
Choose your most acute question or problem.
Open Google Docs, Notion or whatever.
And start writing…
The first sentence is often the hardest, especially in the beginning.
And from there you find YOUR WAY.
Not MY HOW.
You see?
May you realize what you want in your life my friend.
What truly drives, beneath the surface, where passion thrives.
Instead of distracting yourself from it.
May you find it, before it’s too late.

the #1 secret to content creation I wish I knew sooner (a poem)
You can get paid, to be yourself,
No need to put your dreams on a shelf.
Solve your own problems, find the answers,
Film it, share it, seize the chances.
Create each day, explore what’s true,
So you start to understand your life, deep and through.
Money will follow when you’re being real,
But no longer wasting life is the biggest deal.
I mean,
Aren’t you hitting 2 birds with 1 stone?
Where finding answers to your questions and earning money from your content are the birds flown,
And you writing, researching and filming about it is the stone that is thrown?
If you see this,
Then find your burning question, the one you MUST know,
And open a doc, let the words flow.
Jordan
