Here’s a toast to the next recession

Was reading a Ben Settle email the other day…

And, he said something that’d make most people, even hard core, Bernie Madoff-types, soil their pantalones. He was talking about a client he’d work with several years back in the aftermath of the housing crisis.

And how that guy drooled over recessions.

He almost wished they’d happen.

Here’s what Ben wrote:

“Early on we started talking about the economy, and he said: ‘Direct response marketers love recessions, this is when we make all the money.’ Yes, hardcore direct marketers (and clients) don’t spend less during bad times. They spend more. They don’t hold back on

learning how to get more sales. They splurge on MORE of said info.”

And, as I’ve told you…

It’s not just direct response marketers.

Amazon, Nintendo, Clorox…

These companies all saw tremendous growth during the pandemic. Winners and losers — happens every time. There are also people, like me, who invest wisely during these recessions and make out like a bandit.

Anyway, my point is this…

I want to snap the loser mindset you may have in how you think about these things. It ain’t all doom and gloom, sweetie. There’s tremendous opportunity in these downturns IF you know where to look and what to do — and how to take advantage.

In fact, it’s one of the greatest advantages you have as a freelancer.

When times are tough… find the winners and ride their coat tails.

Easy squeezy.

It’s also happens to be one of the things I show you in my Cold Email Method course. How to find the fat cat clients, who are doing well and looking to grow and expand during a recession or downturn.

Not shrivel up like a… ahem… in freezing cold water.

The ability to *find* these people, alone, is a massive advantage.

But then, knowing how to contact them and get them to hire you.

Bruh…. c’mon!

Anyway, it’s not for the uninitiated… so probably won’t be for everybody. If reading this has you sniveling into your Snuggie about what a monster I am, then… sorry snookums… but this won’t be your thing.

Anyway, the clock is tickin’ on this.

As you know, I’ve put the course up on Skillshare, for the month of April, to give everybody, regardless of your financial situation, a shot at it. But, we’re getting down to the wire. Just a few days left and it’s coming down.

So, if you want it, now is the time, Skippy.

Anyway, the course is published here: https://myjohn.us/coldemail

It’s Lessons 3 and 4 there. If you’re already a Skillshare member, that’ll take you right in. If you’re not, that’ll trigger a 14-day trial of the platform for you. You get unfettered access to the entire course library (30,000+) during that 14 days.

So, you can take the course…

Cancel before the 14 days is up…

And never pay a penny.

Anyhoo, up to you.

Later,

John

I started this 3 days ago, following John’s suggestions, and I gained the Upwork Rising Talent badge in less than 2 days. I have a call with my first potential client tomorrow. Thanks, John!

John is the man! I followed his steps and I am flooded with interviews in a week. I got into two Talent clouds. The very next day, I got an invitation from the talent specialists from Upwork and a lot more. I wanna shout out, he is the best in this. Thanks John for helping me out!

After viewing John’s course, I made an Upwork account and it got approved the same day. Amazingly, I got my first job the very same day, I couldn’t believe it, I thought maybe I got it by coincidence. Anyways I completed the job and received my first earnings. Then, after two days, I got another job and within a week I got 3 jobs and completed them successfully. All the things he says seem to be minute but have a very great impact on your freelancing career.

I’ve been in an existential crisis for the last week about what the heck I’m doing as a business owner. Even though I’ve been a business for about a year, I’m constantly trying to think of how to prune and refine services. This was very personable and enjoyable to watch. Usually, business courses like this are dry and hard to get through…. repeating the same things over and over again. This was a breath of fresh air. THANK YOU.

I’ve definitely learnt so much in 2.5 hours than I’d learn watching different videos online on Youtube and reading tons of articles on the web. John has a natural way of teaching, where he is passionately diving in the topics and he makes it very easy to grasp — someone who wants you to really start running your business well by learning about the right tools and implement them in your online business. I will definitely share with many of the people I know who have been struggling for so long, I did find my answers and I’m sure will do too.

I have been following John Morris for several years now. His instruction ranges from beginner to advanced, to CEO-level guidance. I have referred friends and clients to John, and have encouraged my own daughter to pay attention to what he says. All of his teachings create wealth for me (and happiness for my clients!) I can’t speak highly enough about John, his name is well known in my home.

Sukh Plaha

John is a fantastic and patient tutor, who is not just able to share knowledge and communicate it very effectively – but able to support one in applying it. However, I believe that John has a very rare ability to go further than just imparting knowledge and showing one how to apply it. He is able to innately provoke one’s curiosity when explaining and demonstrating concepts, to the extent that one can explore and unravel their own learning journey. Thanks very much John!

John has been the most important person in my freelance career ever since I started. Without him, I would have taken 10 or 20 years more to reach the position I am at now (Level 2 seller on Fiverr and Top Rated on Upwork).
