Eventually people get sick of the shiny and come to be boring (and wealthy) with us instead\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example (my true story of a screw up)\u2026<br>we had a couple of projects underperforming, and some even losing money.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Was it the offer? <strong>No<\/strong><br>Was it the need for a better funnel? <strong>No<\/strong><br>Was it lack of traffic? <strong>No!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those are the typical things people try to fix\u2026 because marketers and software owners tell you \u2018you&#8217;re just one funnel away\u2019 or some other cliche.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And while it could be true the perfect funnel\/traffic\/system could fix everything\u2026 you could have all of those things working perfect but you will still fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s why you probably fail\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>The product sucks<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>The profit margin sucks<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>You don\u2019t do enough of the work<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you get the best traffic, the best funnel, and the best offer but the product sucks and people don\u2019t want it\u2026 guess what.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>YOU FAIL!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have traffic, you have the offer, but you don\u2019t do the daily work like uploading your ads daily, sending the emails, running the campaigns etc. then guess what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>YOU FAIL!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the boring basics people forget\u2026 then spend years trying to fix the wrong thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our projects there was something very simple wrong\u2026 and it cost me 6 figures in lost revenue\u2026 I am still very upset about it as I don\u2019t like making basic mistakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>How could I lose 6 figures?<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img width=\"1024\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/ampifire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/money-1024x574.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5827\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ampifire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/money-1024x574.png 1024w, https:\/\/ampifire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/money-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/ampifire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/money-768x430.png 768w, https:\/\/ampifire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/money.png 1456w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>People often overlook the fundamental basics and end up wasting years trying to fix the wrong issues.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Simple\u2026 when I dug into it the core work was not getting done (ultimately my fault). Some people on the team were only working about 1-3 hours a day and doing it inefficiently\u2026 and it wasn\u2019t really their fault as we were just not clear in being organized\u2026&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If I work 8 hours a day on that, and do it with speed and focus I will get\u2026<br><br>&#8211; 4x more done just on time put in<br>&#8211; 4x more done because I\u2019m more organized and faster&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4x more done, in 4x the time = 1600% output!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is 1600% more revenue!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you get it now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1\/16th the result is basically bankrupt and it\u2019s why it lost so much money. And it\u2019s down to the simple things\u2026 and doing more of them\u2026&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example\u2026 while they were looking for the note\/email they needed to copy and paste, I had it done like a fast chef who has all his kitchen tools ready and everything organized in a workflow designed for speed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the time they send 1 email, I can send 4!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I occasionally set a timer and compete with myself\u2026 it\u2019s one of the first skills I used when starting out that actually got me results\u2026 competing with myself to do things fast EVERY DAY\u2026 day after day after day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It wasn\u2019t that long ago I was in a trap and on unemployment benefits until I figured out I had to get fast &#8211; work fast and smart\u2026 at that time the only gig I could get was being paid $3 per post as a beginner blogger\u2026 but I made it work by getting fast and was able to get over $10\/hr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I moved onto a $10 per post gig my pay was up to $50\/hr because I was fast (and effective).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Being Fast &amp; Staying Focused<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>And I kept that skill with me, learning how to do things faster and stay focused and it\u2019s taken me to 8 figures per year so far.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>But there&#8217;s another secret: Automation. Automating as much as I can helps me keep focused only on the things that I really need to do. &#8220;Automation is a muscle that gets stronger with use.
