The brutal midyear truth no one wants to hear

I'm writing this from a corner table at E+Rose in the Gulch.

Just ordered my usual pitaya smoothie bowl and I'm watching all these Nashville tech bros in their Patagonia vests pretend to have important meetings.

One guy just said "let's circle back on that synergy" unironically.

I died a little inside.

But speaking of circling back...

It's June 11th.

Which means we're officially at the halfway point of 2025.

Remember back in January when you were all fired up?

New year, new you, blah blah blah.

You probably wrote down some goals. Maybe even bought a fancy planner from Target.

"This is MY year," you said.

"I'm gonna lose 20 pounds, make six figures, find my soulmate, and learn French."

Cool story.

So... how's that going?

And I want you to be brutally honest with yourself here.

If you've crushed most of your goals already, congrats. You kept your word and you should feel good about that.

But if you're sitting there realizing you haven't made meaningful progress on ANY of them...

We need to talk.

Here's the uncomfortable truth that'll make you squirm in your seat:

If you really wanted those goals, you'd already have them.

Or at least be well on your way.

"But Grant, life got crazy!
Work was insane!
My dog got sick!
Mercury was in retrograde!"

Stop.

Let me let you in on a secret that most people refuse to admit:

The person you are right now is NOT the same person who will achieve everything you want.

Because if you were that person, you'd already have everything you want.

Think about it.

The version of you that makes $200k/year doesn't scroll TikTok for 3 hours a day.

The version of you with abs doesn't order DoorDash five times a week.

The version of you with a thriving business doesn't make excuses about "not having time."

The people who've already hit their 2025 goals? They completely transformed themselves.

They became different people.

And that requires sacrifice.

Having goals doesn't make you special or unique.

Every broke person on Earth has goals.

What makes you unique is the price you're willing to pay to achieve them.

The 5am gym sessions when you'd rather sleep in.

The weekends spent working instead of binge-watching Netflix.

The uncomfortable conversations and difficult decisions.

The sacrifice of your current self for your future self.

Most people aren't willing to pay that price.

They want the results without the transformation.

They want the destination without the journey.

And that's exactly why they're still in the same place they were six months ago.

So here's your wake-up call:

You have exactly 6 months left in this year.

182 days.

What are you going to do now?

Are you going to keep being the same person and hoping for different results?

Or are you finally going to become who you need to become?

The choice is yours.

But choose quickly, because time doesn't give a shit about your excuses.

If you're ready to actually transform and build something real in the next 6 months, I put together a comprehensive AI copywriting system that could change everything for you.

It's not magic. It's not a shortcut.

But it's a legitimate skill that can generate serious income if you're willing to put in the work.

Check it out here and see if you're ready to become the person who actually achieves their goals.

Stop making excuses,

Grant

P.S. That tech bro just ordered a $8 green juice and tipped with a business card. I'm moving tables before I catch whatever he has.
