“BOOM BOOM crack BOOM!”
It was storming awfully heavy last night.
That, combined with the fact that I was reading a book filled with ‘winning ads’ from some of the scariest (yet most successful) scams in history, that brought in billions of dollars for the swindlers while leaving carnage in their wake, meant that I was getting all sorts of ‘horror movie’ vibes while sitting in my home office.
Been getting a lot of scam calls and messages lately.
Some using AI.
Some using simple ‘socially-engineered’ text.
Trying to scam me outta some cash.
Guess that tells you why I’ve been so fascinated by the psychology of the topic lately.
I flipped a couple more pages outta this book of successful scam ads I was going through. And my eyes finally stopped at a scam ad from Sylvester Stallone’s mom.
Apparently:
She took her son’s success…
… and used it as a way to position herself as…
… the world’s most accurate astrologer.
“My Mother’s ‘Supersuccess’ Horoscope Led Me To Worldwide Stardom and Riches!” the headline wrote.
No idea whether her son agreed with those claims.
But she made quite a lot of coin doing that. From all the people calling in to her Psychic hotline, billed by the minute, to find out what their future held… something she often found out by talking with dogs, apparently.
It was a really interesting ad to study.
But…
… hey ho…
… I was pooped after reading it…
… and after a brief walk around the house with the wifey, collapsed into bed.
Early the next morn:
I opened my inbox.
And got an email about Sylvester Stallone’s REAL secrets to success.
This time from world’s greatest email copywriter, Matt Furey.
Coincidence?
Perhaps.
But this email about Stallone’s biggest secret to being successful was… a lot more applicable to me than… phoning in and talking to his mom about her son’s stars, and the future that her dogs could see about me.
The secret being?
Locking himself in a little cabin.
And writing the entire script for the triple Academy Award-winning movie Rocky in just 3 days. From start to finish. Something he called “90% terrible”.
Why?
Because the whole aim wasn’t to create perfection.
It was to… ‘get to the finish’ fast!
No matter how terrible it may be.
So that he could start editing.
Because that’s when you start ‘digging out the gold’. And when it starts getting sculpted into an Academy Award winner.
But most people are too stuck up on getting stuff started.
And perfect.
Not on getting it done.
And edited.
Which is where the success lies. Do it fast, edit slowly. Even if the stars don’t align, and your mom’s waiting for them to.
