From graphic design to creating an awesome site in BootStrap to free downloads from my personal library. If you are a design agency just starting out, you will find some really great tools and templates that you can use for personal use to help you develop your own style and product offerings.
And your brain helped them do it. Let’s talk about confirmation bias in the wild world of digital marketing.
It’s your brain’s way of protecting your ego. Once you believe the guru’s promise, your mind starts filtering reality to support that belief — even when the red flags are waving like crazy.
You lose money, time, and clarity. You stop trusting yourself. That’s not failure — that’s manipulation.
If that hit hard... good. That means you're waking up.

Most people don’t have a traffic problem. They have a trust problem. And you can’t shortcut rapport.
You built a landing page, slapped in an opt-in form, and wrote 3 emails. But there’s no story. No hook. No reason for anyone to listen.
Before you automate, validate. Talk to people. Build context. Share real value. Automation is the amplifier — not the foundation.
Still trying to “scale”? Try connecting first.

High-ticket coaching is a recycled script with new branding. But the playbook is always the same: promise, upsell, blame.
They show a lifestyle you want. A success story you envy. Then they bait you with just enough truth to keep you curious. That’s not coaching — it’s puppeteering.
Once inside, you’re told that failure is your fault. If you didn’t make 10K in 90 days, you clearly didn’t want it bad enough. That’s psychological warfare dressed up in Canva slides.
Maybe it’s time we stopped calling it “mentorship” and called it what it is: monetized manipulation.

WordPress is out. BootStrap is in.
The new Gutenburg update has tested my patience for the last time. I refuse to deal with broken widgets and plug-in's and menu bars that just do not work! If you rely on WordPress to run your Digital Agency, you need to pack it up and learn to program like real pros. Stop calling yourselves "developers" when you don't understand backend technologies and have no clue what PHP is. Put your big girl panties on and join the ELITIST JERKS in our movement to "JUST SAY NO TO WORDPRESS". T-Shirt Coming Soon! LMAO!
If you are a scumbag, you are not safe here!
See the Full RantSet to launch in 2024!
A complete facelift of an old PLR project, new videos, new backend, full HTML/CSS source files, plus Photoshop, Premiere, and Illustrator assets. Fully loaded.

A couple days ago I received an email that I knew was fake, but there was one twist that had me puzzled.
The blackmailer displayed, in both the header and the body, an old password I used nearly ten years ago. That password wasn't tied to anything personal, yet it was clearly shown in the email. Naturally, I dug in, and what I found put my mind at ease.
Back in 2012, LinkedIn experienced a breach exposing 164 million emails and passwords. That data remained hidden until it hit dark markets in 2016.
Myspace was hit too, 360 million accounts, including emails, usernames, and passwords, were compromised and later sold online.
Disqus announced a breach in 2017 that actually occurred back in 2012. It exposed 17.5 million user records.
Using breach-checking tools, I confirmed 9 different instances where my credentials had been exposed. This lined up with recent alerts from my bank and a fraud warning from one of my credit card companies.
Want to see if your email has been compromised? You might be surprised.
Being a con-artist and an honest person in sales.
The purpose of this article isn't a deep dive, but rather a quick hit on a few key differences that matter when building an honest sales persona.
Con-artists can build like, love, and trust in minutes. The game? Identify needs quickly and deliver a sub-par product or service, no support, no refund, and no shame. It's all about the money.
Masters of the con use misdirection like magic. Their stories are polished, often enhanced with psychological tactics like NLP. Victims are left broke and confused.
Nothing stings like that moment you realize you've been had, and what you got wasn't what was promised.
Seasoned, ethical salespeople have similar skills, but with a key difference: they care about the customer. They focus on relationship, not the quick win. They're in it for the long game, not the cash grab.
Today's marketing climate is ruthless. Sales pitches hit us constantly, on phones, tablets, and desktops. And some of the technology fueling it should be illegal.
If you're a marketer, you have a duty to treat customers with honor and dignity. If you're a consumer, you have a duty to protect yourself by thinking critically and slowing down before clicking "buy now."
If an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is. That hesitation you feel might just save you money and regret.
Use your gut. Take a moment. Do your homework. That instinct your parents taught you? Still valid today.
This message is especially for struggling marketers: if you're stuck, plateaued, or confused, reach out. I'm real, and I teach real strategies that elevate sales without shame.
