What if waiting for permission is the exact thing keeping you from the life you actually want?

Today, I am sitting down with the incredibly disciplined 20-year-old entrepreneur and copywriter, Jay Yang. At just 16, Jay realized that following the traditional path was leading him toward a life he did not want.

He stopped waiting for permission and started taking action. We talk about how his permissionless mindset helped him land opportunities with massive entrepreneurs like Noah Kagan, Alex Hormozi, and Tyler Denk before he even finished high school.

What you will learn in this episode:

• Why beginners need to start "writing upwards" to attract high-level mentors.
• How to use a 19-page pitch deck to make your offers irresistible.
• The exact "Theory of Constraints" Alex and Leila Hormozi use to scale businesses.
• Why your daily habits should be obvious, not magical.
  

Jay Yang is a master copywriter, ghostwriter, and the author of You Can Just Do Things and the upcoming Work With the Best. Find him sharing brilliant career strategies on Instagram at @JayYangInspires, and support his newest book launch on Kickstarter.
