Capital Club 2023 Main Takeaways

I haven’t written a newsletter in a while. Been busy with a Euro trip, launching a new brand, and scaling my affiliate marketing hustle. Will try to write more frequently for the rest of the year.

Anyways, here’s a recap of some of the takeaways from attending Capital Club 2023 in Spain this past July. I can’t delve into too much of the nitty-gritty but I outlined some key takeaways that can be beneficial to anyone on their entrepreneurial journey. Some of these you may already know but it’s good to hammer in some concepts so it really becomes ingrained in your way of operating.

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.

I made the mistake of lone wolfing it the first several years of my entrepreneurship journey. Being in the orbit of other like-minded killers accelerates your results A LOT. I was content to be doing $1k-5k+ revenue days and didn’t care to scale too hard. Attending events like CC23 really puts into perspective that there are levels to the game. People scaling to 6-7 figure months made me realize that I need to work harder. And being able to connect the dots with each dataset you download from every high performer you come across is crucial to reach the higher echelons of business.

Another theme I noticed around high-performers is the focus of health. Ever since making my fitness and what I consume a priority, it’s paid off in all facets of life. Business, mood, productivity, how others treat me, to name a few. I’ve already covered this in a past newsletter so I won’t go too in-depth.

Everyday needs to be intentional.

Intentional days lead to intentional weeks, which leads to intentional months, then intentional years, and finally an intentional and fulfilled life. You need to be hyperaware of the activities you fill your day with. Is it serving you in the long-run or detracting you from your potential. Hold yourself accountable by tracking KPIs and progress with: daily reviews, weekly reviews, monthly reviews, and yearly reviews.

You have to play long-term business with long-term people.

I believe Naval Ravikant touched on this concept as well. Too many people are in it for the short-term cash influx. You have to identify who’s in it for the long-term and who’s just trying to make a quick buck. You can easily dissect someone’s motives by having a conversation with them. Are they thinking in years or decades? Or are they just going for a cash grab business? Sure, it’s fine to build up some quick cash if you’re just starting up so you have some capital to deploy into more long-term ventures. But as soon as you have enough reserves, play the long game.

Focus on wealth and influence to “break free from the matrix.”

Money helps to unshackle you from the tyranny of government (For example, the Tate Brothers being able to freely travel with a private jet during the height of the pandemic).

Influence ie building a personal brand opens a lot of doors in terms of networking, getting access to opportunities, etc. Start working on your PB while you’re building whatever you’re working on.

Investing in yourself is always well worth it.

This includes courses, masterminds, mentorships or even a gym membership. The cost of admission to CC23 was $15,000. Definitely not a small sum by any means but I felt like it was well worth the money. Being able to get access to info that’s only privy to the entrepreneurial elite as well as connecting with them is invaluable. Not only did I get an abundance of knowledge that I have already started to take action on, I now have a rolodex of killers I can call on if need be. Of course, I would be happy to do the same for anyone else. I felt a sense of insecurity because I was definitely one of the smaller fish in the room, but I love that feeling. Now I’m even more motivated to do my best to feel like I belong in that room next time.

I’m thinking of making a Youtube video with a more in-depth recap about the CC event in its entirety, let me know if you’d like to see that by replying to this email or DMing me. Also you can contact me if there’s anything content-wise you’d like to see down the line.

Till next time,
