Key Money-Making Insights

Nick reveals that a 40-year career earns about $2 million total, but you only need one successful business to beat that lifetime earning potential. For cold email campaigns, aim for a 0.5-1% positive reply rate on mass outreach, and avoid templated Loom videos that hurt deliverability. Success requires overcoming the barriers that stop most people: fear, uncertainty, and lack of knowledge about how to build profitable businesses.

Top Money-Making Q&As

Question 1

I'm cold emailing real estate with a Loom video. Sent 600 with no positive replies. Should I wait until 1500 emails before tweaking, or test now? How can I improve the offer, and is this a good niche?

Stop sending templated Loom videos in mass emails; it hurts deliverability. You have two paths: hyper-custom outreach with personalized videos, which is slow but effective, or mass market outreach using AI for personalization. Aim for a 0.5-1% positive reply rate on mass campaigns. Your market will give you the real answers, not me.

Question 2

If making more than five figures a month is possible with enough effort, why doesn't everyone do it instead of working a job?

Because it's hard and uncertain. People don't do it because they don't know how, they're scared, they're lazy, or they lack the capability. A 40-year career earns about $2 million. You just need one successful business in your lifetime to beat that. Most people can do it, they just haven't thought it through.

Question 3

Do you read books? What's one book that changed your entire point of view on business and improving yourself?

Yes. Fiction: the character Kaladin Stormblessed from 'The Stormlight Archive' taught me what a leader is. Business: 'Atomic Habits' by James Clear. It proved that consistency wins. I built a habit of daily lead generation for over 400 days. It worked.
