3 years ago I felt hopeless. But now I’m happy.

I woke up a little late and a lot hung over this morning.

I went out to a comedy show last night with some friends and had a few too many.

So instead of getting right to work this morning, I went to the deli for an egg sandwich, drank some AG1, and took some time to recover and reflect.

I realized that I am truly happy for the first time in over a decade.

And it’s all because of the efforts that I’ve made to improve every aspect of my life in the last few years...

𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵:
I committed to better nutrition and regular workouts. I’ve lost 85 pounds and am in the best physical shape of my life at age 41.

𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀:
I left the corporate world to become an entrepreneur. After a couple of years of struggling to figure it out, I am earning more money now than I ever did

𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲:
I earned enough to move my family from a dumpy apartment into a brand-new townhouse and fund an upcoming vacation. (our first in 8 years)

𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀:
I am improving my communication and setting better boundaries, which has helped me be a more present and nurturing husband and father.

𝗙𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵:
I started my relationship with God. I was baptized last year during the Easter vigil. I pray every day and go to church every Sunday.

I still have a lot to accomplish and a long way to go toward building the life I want for my family.

But I’m happy right now. ☺️

Much love,
Coach D

Day ‘n’ Nite by Kid Cudi

That song was playing when this photo was taken
13 years ago today.

I remember it so vividly for a couple of reasons…

1- It was taken seconds before I dropped it down
too low and split my tuxedo pants.

2- Lissette and I equally loved that song and to this
day, we do that same dance when we hear it.

13 years ago I married my best friend.

It was the best day of my life.

We had these grand life plans. One of them was
to recreate our wedding day 10 years later.

We planned to renew our vows and throw another
banger that would rival our wedding day.

That plan didn’t happen. (not because we did want to)

Because we were broke.

- I lost my big important corporate job
- We had a huge mortgage and two kids
- We were depleting our savings to stay afloat

But that didn’t break our spirits.

- We sold our home and moved to Charleston
- Lissette stepped up to homeschool our kids
- I started my own business and it’s taken off

We’ve been through some sh*t!

And sure it was challenging at times but
marriage isn’t supposed to be easy.

Your partner is supposed to…
- Inspire you
- Challenge you
- Bring out your best

I am a better person with Lissette DelVecchio
at my side and am grateful for our life together.

Happy Anniversary Babe! 🥰

We’re two years away from 15.
And that party is going to be epic!

“Average” Content Creators
⤷ Create what they THINK people want

“Elite” Content Creators
⤷ Create what they KNOW people want

How do you ‘know’ what people want?

You gotta do your research!

Here are my top 3 ways to research content:

1- Poll your community
2- Observe viral content
3- Record your sales calls

Don’t be average. Be elite.

PS. Who you got? Lebron or MJ? 🐐

Two years ago, I joined a program called 10x10.
The goal was simple. Make $10 in 10 weeks.

I hustled hard and it came down to the wire.
But I did it. $10k in 10 weeks.

Breaking 5-figures at the time felt like
a monumental achievement.

Fast-forward to 2024:
5 months in, and I hit 6-figures.

May was a record-breaking month.
And the momentum is still going strong.

But the road to get there was pretty bumpy.
There were moments I thought about giving up

I even shut down my company in May last year.

But persistence pays off. Do right by people, ask for
help when needed, and keep showing up.

You’ll surprise yourself with what you can achieve.

Oh, and I did treat myself to a little something to celebrate. 😉

Do you reward yourself when you hit goals?

3 big moves that changed my life in 2023.

First off, 2022 was the toughest year of my life.

- I hated my job.
- Side hustle was a bust.
- I was drowning in debt.

It was getting desperate. I was emptying my
401k to pay the bills.

I had to sell my 4-bedroom house with a pool
and move into a shotty 2-bedroom apartment.

I was in a tough place mentally and the business
and financial struggles continued into 2023.

Then I made these 3 moves...

𝟭- 𝗜 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝘆 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗜𝗻

I was an Instagram guy and I was struggling to
stand out and connect with clients.

After 6 months of consistent posting, I built an
engaged audience and was starting to get leads.

Within 12 months, LinkedIn was bringing in over
$20k a month in revenue.

𝟮- 𝗜 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵.

Adam and I tried to build a business together
and it failed. We weren’t good partners.

But as my coach, it works. I have no experience
running a business. Adam owns 10 businesses
so his experience obviously helps.

But most importantly, he truly gives a sh*t
about me. We are friends. More like brothers.

Because we have that relationship, he’s able to
call me out for my bullsh*t.

𝟯- 𝗜 𝗽𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝗚𝗼𝗱.

I grew up pretty confused about God. My parents
were different religions and neither were committed.

My wife and I agreed to raise our kids Catholic.
It was important to her but didn’t matter to me.

To support her and the kids, I started to attend
church every Sunday. I went for 2 years.

Finally, I decided it was time to put my faith in God.
I was baptized and confirmed last Easter.

TLDR
1- Find the right channel to grow your brand
2- Find a mentor to guide you on the journey
3- Have faith that God will take care of you

This is why I hold nothing back in my content.

I’ve been through the struggles and I want
to help you get through yours too.

You got this homey! ✌️

99% of my connections don’t know this about me…

I am a super selfish person.

Most people say, “I do everything for my family.”

Not this guy. I do it all for me!

My favorite thing in the world is being with these two.

I selfishly want as much time with them as possible.

So I built a business that allows me that time.

It’s okay to be selfish sometimes. 😁

PS. Any big plans for the weekend?

I’m sure you’ve heard this -  “Sell without selling”

But hardly anyone explains how to do it.

Well, your boy is here to break it down for you…

Here’s how you make content that sells:

Know Your Audience:
- Learn their needs and pain points.

Be Everywhere:
- Be on their feed, in their comments and DMs.

Educate First:
- Offer tips or insights before promoting a product.

Be the Solution:
- Your content is the answer to their problems.

Know-Like-Trust:
- Be consistent Be reliable. Be yourself.

Let me make this even simpler for you...

- People buy from people they trust
- Your content creates that trust
- Your inbox fills up with leads

That’s how you win in this game. ✌️

PS. If this is valuable for you → follow your boy.

The number 1 reason your content fails:

You didn’t do any research before hitting post.

Most creators make content based on what
they think the audience wants.

Here’s what I do instead...

I poll my audience. I ask questions.
I know who they are and what they love.

I stalk my competitors’ content. See their moves.
I learn but aim to be different. Be better.

I pay close attention to the trends.
See what works and add my own spin.

I never post and hope it will do well. I know it will.

Do you do research before every post?

It’s 5 am. My family are all asleep.

I’m sitting on my couch on Thanksgiving Day.

Reflecting on what I’m thankful for.

Of course, there are the obvious ones...

- My beautiful wife
- My happy and healthy boys
- My new home (moved in 4 days ago)

But I’m also thinking about gratitude differently.

I’m thinking more about the intangibles.

The #1 thing that I’m thankful for is my discipline.

Without it, I would never have been able to...

- Be in my best physical health in my life. (down 80 lbs)
- Get my family a new home in a great neighborhood
- Build my business to 6-figures with crazy upside
- Reach 1 million people on LinkedIn (pretty cool)
- Be the best husband and father I could.

Gotta bounce. I got a turkey to cook!

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

Being a parent is hard…

Being a parent and running a business is harder.

This combination comes with:

- New levels of stress
- Hard decisions
- Sacrifice

Last night we celebrated my wife,

She was chosen to be featured in a prestigious
local magazine here in Charleston.

- We got all decked out.
- We drank wine. We ate good food.
- We met new people. We had a few laughs.

And she definitely deserved this moment.

From the time she was a kid, her dream has
always been to own a luxury interior design firm.

She made a tough choice to put that dream on hold.

2 years ago, she started to get the ball rolling.

- She signed a few clients.
- She worked on a massive project.
- She was making a name for herself.

But the world was changing and we were
worried about what that meant for our kids.

We had some tough decisions to make:

- We chose to put our children first.
- We left our home to move to a new state.
- We made the choice to homeschool our kids.

This meant starting her business from zero.

And on top of that taking on a new full-time
role as a home-school mom.

With this time commitment to our kids, she has
questioned whether to keep the business at all.

I refuse to let her give up on her dream.

It may not reach the level that she had hoped,
(at least not yet) we’ll get there together.

She has a lot to be proud of.

And I’m proud of her. And I’m grateful that my
boys have a mother who always puts them first.

PS. Share this post and share the love for all the
amazing moms who make the ultimate sacrifice.

Three years ago I was hopeless.

- Failing at a job that I never wanted.
- Failing to provide for my family.
- Failing to care for myself.

I was drowning with no idea how to save myself.

Everything changed with one decision.

I committed to building my personal brand.

- I invested in personal development.
- I exercised and ate cleaner.
- I joined communities.
- I made videos.

People started to notice me from my videos.

When I went to events, people wanted to meet me.

Here I am three years later...

- In my best mental and physical health
- I'm taking care of my family
- Business is taking off

My confidence was missing for a long time.

I found it and I'm never letting it go!

The power of personal brand.

Start building yours! ✌️

PSA for Instagram Creators:

The best way for to make bank right now isn’t on IG.

It’s on LinkedIn.

LinkedIn is like IG two years ago.

Carousels are crushing and not a ton of creators are doing video.

So if you’ve been creating valuable IG content, you can bring it over to LinkedIn and stand out easily!

I’ve added $8k of additional monthly income in the last few months.

DM me ‘LinkedIn’ for the deets.

“There has to be a shortcut.”

I had a new client say this to me.

This mindset is killing entrepreneurs.

Most spend more time and energy looking for hacks than it would take to actually do the f*cking work.

Here’s my only hack…

Do the things nobody else is willing to do.

- Get on camera
- Send voice messages
- Give without expectation
- Show people you give a s**t

Shortcuts eventually lead one place… dead ends.

My biggest failure in my journey as an entrpreneur was being too afraid to fail.

If something wasn’t working, instead of letting myself fail, I'd give up and move on to the next shiny object.

By avoiding failure, I was preventing success.

I’m writing this post now unafraid. I’m ready fall flat on my face or to move mountains.

What works for one doesn’t necessarily work for all.

There’s a lot of so called ‘experts’ sharing their strategies for social media, LinkedIn, content creation, etc…

So will work. Some won’t.

Test and find what works for you. ✌️

Happy Anniversary Babe! 🥰

Motherhood is the most selfless act in the world.

Today I pay tribute to a mother who has sacrificed even more than most, my wife Lissette.

She is a top 1% interior designer.

She has the talent, knoweldge, and ability to run a 7-figure business easily.

But she chose to put her dreams on hold.

We have concerns about the school system and aren’t comfortable sending our boys.

So she stepped up to become a homeschool mom.

She had no training.
She figured it out on her own.
She is absolutely kicking ass at it!

One day, I’ll happily step up to help her achieve her dream of running a successful design studio.

For now, I’ll appreciate how great a mom she is.

I love you . ❤️

PS. Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there!
