Day 80 – The Payout Finally Hit (And I Made a Call Today)
So… today felt good.
Like really good.
It’s Monday, May 4th, 2026 — Day 80 of my journey to $40,000/month…
and I finally got that payout I’ve been waiting on.
$980.96.
Straight into my bank account.
Not “pending.”
Not “processing.”
Not “should arrive in 3–5 business days.”
Actually. There.
And I’m not gonna lie… that never gets old.
Real Talk for a Second
There was a time when even an extra $100 would’ve felt like a miracle.
I’ve had moments where money stress was constant…
jobs that drained me…
and situations where I genuinely didn’t know how things were gonna work out.
So yeah… seeing almost $1,000 hit my account from something I built online?
That hits different.
Where I’m At Right Now
So far for May: $980.96 deposited
And what’s crazy is…
this is all coming from one main offer I’ve been focusing on lately.
It’s still pretty new for me, which honestly makes this even more exciting.
Because if this is what it’s doing early on…
I can’t help but wonder what happens when things really start compounding.
The Bigger Play (This Is What Matters)
My email list is now at 3,854 leads.
That’s 3,854 real people who raised their hand and said:
“Yeah… I want something better.”
And a big chunk of that growth lately?
Solo ads.
I know… solo ads get a bad reputation sometimes.
And to be fair, I get why.
There are definitely bad vendors out there.
But when you find good ones?
They can grow your list fast.
Not only that… I’ve already seen low-ticket sales coming in from those same leads.
Which tells me something important:
👉 These aren’t just numbers… they’re buyers.
And that’s what you want.
The Decision I Made Today
So originally, my plan was to restart Facebook ads today.
I was actually pretty excited about it.
But then I looked at what’s already working…
…and I caught myself about to do something I’ve done way too many times before:
Switching strategies too early.
Shiny object syndrome is real.
Instead, I asked myself a simple question:
“What if I just doubled down on what’s already working?”
So that’s what I’m doing.
For now, I’m going all-in on solo ads and list building.
Why This Matters (And Why I’m Doing It This Way)
Here’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot…
The main offer I’m promoting?
It actually teaches this exact strategy.
Organic traffic + solo ads.
So it wouldn’t really make sense for me to promote it…
…and then go off and do something completely different.
If anything, I want to do the opposite.
I want to follow it as closely as possible and show you what actually happens.
No theory.
No guessing.
Just real results.
Because at the end of the day…
I don’t want to just talk about this stuff.
I want to become a real example of what’s possible when someone actually commits.
The Bigger Goal
I’ve said this before, but I mean it more every day:
I want out of my call center job again.
Not because I’m lazy.
Not because I don’t want to work.
But because I want control over my time… my income… my life.
And if I can figure this out at a high level?
Then I can help a lot of other people do the same.
If You’re Watching From The Sidelines…
If you’ve been reading these updates thinking:
“Man… I wish I could do something like this…”
You can.
Not overnight.
Not magically.
But it is learnable.
I actually put together a free training that walks through exactly how I got started and what I’m doing right now.
No fluff. Just a simple starting point.

That’s it for Day 80.
Appreciate you being here… seriously.
Let’s see what the rest of May has in store.
