7 Non-Negotiables To Hit $10k/Months In 2026
If you want to make 2026 the year where you finally make sh*t happen & make your first $10k/mo, this is just for you...
Let’s dive in…
#1: Work on developing new identities
If, in 2025, you set yourself the goal of making $10k/mo and still haven’t hit it…
You just haven’t developed the (necessary identities) that someone who’s consistently making $10k/mo has developed.
You likely spent 2025 broadening your skill-sets (watching YT podcasts, buying into courses, joining communities, etc) but your skill-set is meaningless if you’re not becoming the person worthy of attaining the goal.
I’ve mentioned this before, but this is WHY you’re seeing less skilled people than you making more than you.
They understand that skill is essential, but they’re making the conscious effort to become the person worthy.
This is a never-ending mission.
You can’t enhance your identity within 24 hours.
But every day, you should be working to improve your identity.
If you’re stuck with where to start, here’s a quick SOP I created to help you <<
(This was sent to private consulting clients, but go-givers sell more fine)
#2: 10 high-value pitches/daily
Daily inputs = outputs
This is a simple equation.
You can be the most skilled marketer in the world, but if no one knows about you, you won’t sign clients.
Below $10k/mo, you don’t need a big personal brand OR a strict YT posting schedule.
You just need to send 10 high-value pitches/daily.
And when I mean high-value, I mean high-value.
You can’t copy and paste mediocre messages and expect to sign clients.
Create yourself a dream 100, pinpoint their leaking pipes, and hand them sales assets that overcome the problems. Give them these sales assets/SOPs for FREE. Don’t bother asking for a call in the first message. The purpose of these sales assets is to showcase your competence.
#3: Remind yourself of your goals (daily)
When you finish this activity, congratulations.
You now have an all-in-one solution to help you remember your goals.
This is the ‘magic morning formula’ I created (inspired by Brian Moncada) that reminds you of your MRR goals, what’s important to you, and the identities you MUST develop to build your dream life.
Once this is created, you should read it every morning and every night.
Before you get to work, read it so you’re brainwashing your subconscious before you attack on needle-moving tasks.
And before you go to sleep, read it once again, so you’re constantly reminded.
Once again, here’s the magic morning formula you can use to remind yourself of your goals…
#4: Dissect one sales letter daily
You know that copywriting is the BEST skill you can learn.
But you’re making a mistake…
You’re consuming more (books, etc) rather than being more practical.
Instead of picking up another copywriting book, dissect one sales letter a day.
You can go to ClickBank or another website to find these sales letters.
Copy/paste the TSL into a Google Doc and line-by-line dissect what the writer is trying to accomplish.
#5: Create unlisted YT videos for follow-ups
In 2026, don’t be the “just bumping this up” following-up minion.
You’re not going to entice prospects by doing this.
Instead, you should be following up with touchpoints that showcase your competence.
This includes:
Case studies
Podcasts
Free lead magnets
YouTube videos
Client interviews
Internal SOP’s
And the list goes on
If you’re stuck for what to say when following up, create a bunch of unlisted YT videos that walk through your system in more detail. If a prospect doesn’t reply, link them to the YT videos.
Now, one important thing I must say…
You shouldn’t prioritize YouTube if you’re below $10k/mo.
You just need to enter the oilrig (acquisition trenches) and send 10 high-value pitches daily, but for BEST success, you need to perfect your follow-ups.
This is what unlisted YouTube videos allow you to achieve.
#6: Name association practices (daily)
The info-marketing game is all about name association, results, and recognition.
The more recognized and respected you are, the more deals you’ll sign.
In 2026, make the conscious decision to get your name out there as much as you can.
When we started, we were hopping on calls with three or so marketers a week.
We were detached from business deals, but instead were focusing on soaking them up in value.
The connection was built, AND if in the future, they saw an opportunity to do business together, the connection was built. It was a more straightforward process.
In 2026, hop on more calls, DM more people, and connect with as many people as possible.
The cliche of “your network is your networth” is 1000% true.
#7: Get rid of your investment worries
If you’re scared of investing, you’re afraid of making progress.
You do realise that if you invest X amount of money to pay for specialised knowledge, you’re skipping months (if not years) of trial and error, right?
You’re typically one nugget away from success.
And that one nugget can only be provided by a person who’s walked the path you’re walking on.
In 2026, invest more.
If you have any questions about any of the things laid out above, reply to this post.
In 2026, I’m gonna be soaking you up in A LOT more value :)
