You're not working hard enough
and you don't even know it
He’s already IPO’d once – this time’s different
Spencer Rascoff grew Zillow from seed to IPO. But everyday investors couldn’t join until then, missing early gains. So he did things differently with Pacaso. They’ve made $110M+ in gross profits disrupting a $1.3T market. And after reserving the Nasdaq ticker PCSO, you can join for $2.80/share until 5/29.
This is a paid advertisement for Pacaso’s Regulation A offering. Please read the offering circular at invest.pacaso.com. Reserving a ticker symbol is not a guarantee that the company will go public. Listing on the NASDAQ is subject to approvals. Under Regulation A+, a company has the ability to change its share price by up to 20%, without requalifying the offering with the SEC.
Do you really want to make it?
Because everyone says they want to make it….
But then what do I see days later?
You’re playing video games
You’re watching TV
And… I HOPE none of the people on this list are… beating it
If you really wanted… no NEED to get rich with copywriting.
you wouldn’t do anything else unless you absolutely HAVE to, and this brings me to a topic no one wants to hear.
Originally this was just going to be about sleep.
But now?
I’m going to lay down the cold, hard, truth.
You’re not working hard enough.
First off, if any of you are sleeping 8 hours every night. You’re already cooked, and you just don’t want it bad enough. (NOT ADVICE—TAKE WITH GRAIN OF SALT)
Second, if you are getting, like 6 hours every day (and actually using the extra time to work), congrats… you’re at the bare minimum.

Look, bare with me, but I don’t really know how to explain this….
there’s a level of hard work you’re at rn. Maybe you stay up… But there are things where you didn’t even THINK you could be working.
For example: Let’s say, for some reason, you don’t have your phone, laptop, or ANYTHING.
There’s no way to work… right?
No.
No matter what happens, you could always be writing copy in your head.
That’s the type of dedication you need to actually make it. You can’t just forget about copywriting for even a FEW SECONDS…
You need to doing SOMETHING 24/7 or you won’t make it.
And look, I get it.
You’re not lazy, you just didn’t think of this. I mean, who’s crazy enough to literally write copy in their head?
But it’s just what you’ve got to do.
So here’s my list of things you just didn’t think of:
If you have earpods listening to a COPYWRITING podcast 24/7 hours of the day is essential—the second you wake up, WHILE people are talking to you (block them out), even in school or work, just listen to it
Google docs works without wifi so anytime u don’t have wifi but you’ve got ur phone… write copy
Going to the bathroom, skipping out on family dinners, and just avoiding ANYTHING that could stop you from having even a second more too do something copywriting-related
Look for these things in ur life, you won’t notice at first, but eventually you’ll realize you could be working rn.
STREAK: 20
