Published 4 months ago • 1 min read

👋 Hey there, Mike here.

I hope you had a great weekend. I've been getting excited about all the Black Friday deals I can take advantage of this week.

Enjoy 1 short story, 2 incredible examples, 1 great video.

Before we begin... I want to draw your attention to:

Nurture Contacts. Grow your Business.

1 short story that makes you think.

Chaos. I'm a solo Dad this weekend while my wife travels to Romania. Having a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old is chaos. I'm outnumbered, and they have way more energy than I do.

By the time I get them into bed, I'm exhausted. I like to decompress by sitting down and writing.

Think: How do you find time to create content when life is chaotic? Is it first thing before everyone gets up or late at night when it's quiet and the world sleeps?

2 examples of incredible content.

1/ Show the Math

Sometimes, a way to increase sales is by showing how you compare to other options.

2/ What did you imagine?

Would you look closer to see what it says in the small print? I know I would. Provoking thoughts is a great way to grab attention.

1 great video I know you’ll enjoy.

Your content gets better when you learn how to tell a story.
