Why 90% of entrepreneurs fail.


Do you see that wall?

"Paint it white."

My boss yelled at 7 AM.

"Is this what will become of my life?"

went through my mind while dipping the brush in the bucket.

Something snapped. I looked at him.

And said: You know what? Fuck this. I quit.

Before I knew it, I was on my way back home.

A huge smile on my face.

Seconds later, I realised what I had done.

I quit my job, and now what?

Little did I know that 15 years later, I would have my own company, a team of 7 people and $10M in sales in 4 years.

But it did not happen overnight.

I've failed a lot.

Let me share the most important lessons I learned from my journey of selling seven-figure courses.

Start small

Don't get me wrong, I love big goals.

But…

Be smart and cut them up into small parts. This is how you do it:

  • Set a time frame of 90 days.
  • Pick three big goals.
  • Divide each goal into two parts. (2-week sprints)
  • No, divide the two weeks into tiny daily goals.
  • Execute your daily goals.

You'll fail miserably if you try to finish your 50-item daily to-do list.

Make it small, one thing at a time.

Listen to your audience.

Russul Brunsson shared three lessons that were a huge part of my success:

  1. Find a hot market.
  2. Ask what they want.
  3. Give it to them.

Always follow the signal and you'll do great in your business.

Join a PAID cohort.

There are many communities online.

Most of them are free.

But I'm here to tell you that free communities do not work.

Why?

The quality of the people.

You're surrounded by freebie seekers trying to get a free ride.

All they do is scrape the internet for basic information.

Cohorts, on the other hand, are serious about their business.

You'll be forced to take action.

You will be amazed by the quality of the entrepreneurs.

These are some of the advantages:

  • You form partnerships that can blow you up overnight.
  • You can get feedback from people who walk the walk.
  • You make friendships with entrepreneurs who understand you.
  • You learn from great entrepreneurs who are a few steps ahead.
  • You can find an accountability partner who will help you take action.


That's why I'm thinking of launching a 21-day cohort.

I'll take you through the prep phase, pre-launch phase and last but not least, the launch.

This is NOT for the faint of heart.

This will cost money.

But we'll launch our offers together. And I will personally oversee that it goes by the book.

Are you ready to meet great people?
Are you ready to kick ass in 21 days?

Then this is for you.

Send me a reply with LAUNCH, and I'll send you the details.

There will be only 8 spots.

Be fast.

Power to you,

Virgil "Cohorts Rock" Brewster

Holy shit, this kid is on fire. That was my first thought when I saw what Jay Yang was up to.Rewind to January 2023.I was dipping my toes on Twitter.And there was this kid, Jay Yang. He wrote like a beast. Showed up every day. And I was paying attention to his every move.This kid had what we called a Midas touch for building an audience. He was 17 at the time. We became friends, talked shit about marketing and launches.Then a few months later… The guy wrote a freaking book.WTF… I texted him....

It’s 3 AM. I’m wide awake.I’m touched by infinite intelligence. Ideas pour into your mind like a bright beam from heaven. I grabbed my phone and typed notes in the dark. Afraid I'd lose the magic if I turned on a light. By morning, I had 17 scattered bullet points that made zero sense. What seemed brilliant at 3 AM looked like complete garbage in daylight.A new note on top of the 327 half ass ideas. Sound familiar? Here's the painful truth: You don't have an idea problem. You have an...

Let’s fly to Ibiza. We bring a camera crew. We hire a big ass villa and a catamaran.The production value will be wild.When our clients see this, they throw money at us. This was one of the most embarrassing moments in my launch history.The product was called the Freedom Academy. We lost $20K shooting this thing.The result: $1200 in sales.They say pain is the best teacher.Well, this failed project taught me a lot about how not to launch things.Ever heard of product-market fit? The first time I...
