Hey Reader

​
This morning was a little different.

​
After morning prayer, me and my brother went on a side quest.

​
We went to pick some fresh, God-given fruits straight from the trees.

​
A friend of my brother who lives in Italy has a house with a BIG garden with plenty, plenty of fruit trees.

​
And if nobody benefits from these trees, all those fruits go to waste.

​
Which is why they asked us to go pick them up.

​
And pick we did.

​
We picked pomegranates, lemons, and wet dates.

It's autumn, so we're right in the middle of their season.

​
We filled our bags with fruits of all shapes and sizes so we could eat them by the beach, enjoying the exotic views of my city...

​
Sell them, duh.

​
Of course...

​
I mean, c'mon.

​
You've got all these fruits sitting there. Why not sell them, make some money, and reinvest it into taking care of the trees?

​
That's why we went there in the first place.

​
Actually, the auntie waiting for us that morning (their neighbour who takes care of the trees) had already prepared 30kg of juicy, red-hot pomegranates for us to sell at the market.

​
Alright alright...

​
We definitely took some fruits for ourselves too haha.

Perhaps my mam will make some great juice out of the pomegranates and use the lemons for soup, fish, or whatever...

​
They smellllll sooo good.

​
This actually got me thinking...

​
Imagine having a house with a big yard where you can plant all kinds of fruit trees and vegetables.

​
You take care of them, cultivate them, and wait for them to grow.

​
Then, when they finally produce those sweet, mouth-watering fruits, you get to enjoy the benefits.

​
You make jam for winter, whip up tons of yummy desserts, and sell fruits for profit.

​
But there's one downside.

​
It takes time and patience before a fruit finally pops out of a flower.
​

Everything depends on the season, how well you care for the trees, and, of course, whether God gives you the fruits.

​
But once they arrive?
​

Oh boy... oh boyyy...

​
You get to enjoy plenty of healthy stuff and make some casholas too.

​
And that's exactly what happens when you grow your own email list.

​
There's no difference.

​
Of course, you don't get to eat your email list (duh).

​
But you do get to enjoy the benefits that come from it.

​
You grow it, take care of it, build relationships with those people by sending great emails, solve their problems with your awesome solutions...

​
And when the time comes, you enjoy the fruits of your labour.

​
But, just like a fruit garden, an email list takes time to grow.

​
You need patience before it starts producing those juicy fruits you want, aka the money.

​
And once you get it right...

​
​... your email list becomes one of the biggest assets in your business.
​
​How am I so sure?
​

I know people who are making well over six figures from their email lists.

​
And I've been managing email lists for business owners for well over a year too.

​
I know the power of having one.

​
Which is why, alongside my clients' work, I'm putting effort into growing my own email list and taking care of it.

​
So I get to build my own asset, where I write and sell my own services.

​
And I'd recommend you do the same.

​
I don't care what you sell or what you do in life.

​
Build your email list, and email that list.

​
Even if it's just an update about your life and you don't have anything to sell yet.

​
Along the way, you'll figure it ou

​
Until next time,

​
Your friend,
