Damn...I'm not even switched back to BASE yet but I'm feeling amped up about some projects.
A very telling situation came in my copywriting biz when a seasoned copywriter jokingly said that i would never be able to beat his copy controls. Ever. (he was joking at first but clarified that he was indeed serious)
This might be a bit dick-ish and probably just some alpha bullsh!t coming up, but it's a significant sign for me because the same thing happened long ago in my SEO business (like 7 years ago) and in my web traffic business.
For SEO, some entrenched competitor was sitting on page one of the keywords i wanted and said pretty confidently that he'd never give up his spot. After 4 months of hard work i beat him, and he promptly stopped talking to me lol
In my web traffic biz, a dude who had been selling for about a year before I got in the industry told me i would never be able to sell for over $1 per click (that's a shit ton in our industry and the most he had sold for was 90 cents). It took me about 5 months to successfully sell at $1.10 per click.
And now i get this guy trying to show off (we were on a group skype call when it happened) and i think it's a pretty big f$cking sign that things are going to launch for me. I don't know if it's this year or early next, but I'm going to be doing some crazy stuff soon, and he unknowingly is a very positive sign of that coming.
To be clear, beating his control just means to produce a sales page that converts better than his. He has like a dozen controls over a handful of companies in weight loss and personal development. So my job in this case would be to create sales pages that convert better than his do. Sort of like writing an essay that gets an A+ rather than a mere A in school.
