The Maker Letter ·
YO. I am in serious disbelief.
Hey Friend,
Had a wild week.
$37k. From what I thought was a failed launch.
I wanted to do a sprint for a cohort. Fill 5 spots. I ended up getting over 47 replies. But people wanted higher ticket stuff. 1:1 mentorship. So I sold more than I ever have. But that’s not what shook me. I reflected tons.
(Later, someone found the hidden link and bought anyway, so I ended up having 1 extra spot - which looking back - is funny).
In hindsight, I didn’t use the highly converting offer I used to have, and decided to create a brand new one from scratch, instead of doing what usually works - no idea why. But I could totally see it now. Community, cohorts, 1:1s - all relate to one outcome, it’s just different modalities to the same outcome. I’m grateful for a friend who pointed that out for me mid week.
It was one of those weeks that turns you upside down in the best way - not from breakdown, but from breakthrough.
New clients came through. They do wild numbers. $99k. $150k. $200K/mo. $360K/mo. $150K/mo. And when I read their onboarding forms… I had to pause.
Because they didn’t say they hired me for strategy. Or systems. Or even funnels.
They said:
“Your vibe.”
And I’ll be real with you - That confused me for a second.
My brain whispered: “Why would someone at that level… pick you?”
I sat with it. Let it swirl. Because I’ve always told myself that they buy the offer. The outcome. The map.
But this week reminded me: They also buy the mirror.
The energy. The frequency. The groundedness. The truth in your posture. The clarity in your being.
That’s the part no funnel can fake.
And when I asked myself today -
“What would shift if you fully believed you’re not behind, you’re just calibrated to lead a different way?”
I wrote down a line in my notebook I’ll carry forever:
“I don’t need to become more to belong here. I just need to stay with what’s already true.”
Man.
That hit something ancient in me. I’m part Greek after all.
And I figured… maybe it would hit something in you too.
Literally: you are the one you’ve been looking for.
So I’m sharing it here.
Not for praise - but for perspective.
If you’re at a weird edge in your business… Scaling but unsure. Seen but doubting. Clients coming in - but identity catching up.
All I can say is…
Don’t perform more to “prove” you belong. Just get closer to the truth of who you are.
That’s the most magnetic energy in the room.
And it’ll pull in people who feel it. Even when they’re making more than you. Even when the voice says “you’re not ready.”
They’re not just buying your model. They’re buying your mirror.
Your biggest fan,
Jacob “disbelief” Pegs
PS. Btw… These 1:1s, all have access to the same 54 tools that usually cost $5,400.
They’re simply paying for my hands, proximity and… in essence SPEED.
But for the next 4 days inside The Modern Maker ALL IN ONE Black Friday Bundle, they’ll be $198.
Then the price is going up, and I take the offer down in 7 days.
