The happiest $10 ever made (not mine)
Hey Bestie,
Yesterday I got a message that made me very happy.
I've consulted people who make eight and nine figures. I've had startups that have raised $32 million (put a number on it). The experience is there but $10 yesterday made me the happiest man alive.
I've been working with a Microsoft Copilot consultant who's been an absolute gem.
Yesterday he got his first sale within an hour of launching our funnel, where we tied a workshop for corporates, set up sequences, and everything. The thing that made me happy was the screenshot.
He is the first paid user that has gotten paid on SwipeFast within 1 hour of launching.
And that just struck a chord.
Then I got another one!
When you've been building something for 6 months and don't know if it's going to work, or if you've been part of a startup or own a startup, you just know that that means validation.
I've celebrated lots of wins but this $10 transaction will go down in the JPEGs history book.
It's probably insignificant to you but I share everything here and this is a big part of it.
I am so grateful.
Have a look here:
Your biggest fan,
Jacob “tenner” Pegs
oh look, a hooman!
