Embrace the Suck, Forge Ahead: My Battle, Our Journey

Yo!

Today, I'm hitting you with something straight from the heart, no filters, no fluff – just raw, uncut reality.

My "fuck cancer" moment wasn't just a one-time headline in my life; it's been the title of my ongoing saga since late 2018. Melanoma came knocking, and I kicked its ass, thinking I'd won. Fast forward five years, and the beast dared to rear its ugly head again in 2023. Picture this: I was on the brink of losing an ear, thinking, "F*ck me" But here I am, standing, both ears mostly intact. However, I’m about to face another round.

Why spill my guts to you? It's not a pity party or a call for sympathy. Hell no. It's a battle cry, a reminder that life throws punches, hard and fast. But what do we do? We hit back harder. If your business is hitting a rough patch, if you're feeling the burnout creeping in, remember this: double down, toughen up, and, in the wise words of Joe Dirt, "keep on keeping on."

Now, let's talk shop. The next few months are going to be a bit different for The Affluent Factor. As I hit the throttle with chemotherapy today, we're shifting gears. The newsletter will hit your inbox Monday mornings at 8:00am PST, Wednesday at noon, and Friday at 5:00 PM. This schedule gives me the breathing room I need on the tough days and ensures I can still deliver the top-tier content you've come to expect.

But this isn't just about me. It's about us, this community we've built. If there's something you're itching to see more of in the newsletter – be it scripts, lead gen strategies, gossip or anything else – drop me a line. Your feedback is the fuel that keeps this engine running.

Be unstoppable. Let's keep pushing, keep fighting, and keep thriving.

Stay strong,

~Tommy
