Read This Before You Light Your Laptop on Fire.

Let me guess…

You spent hours this week conjuring up content like a caffeinated wizard.

Workout video? Check.
​
Nutrition tip carousel? Yep.
​
Maybe even a brave, slightly sweaty live Q&A where your dog barked and nobody showed up? Done and dusted.

And the result?

Crickets.
​​
A sad whisper of a double tap.
​
Maybe your mom liked it. Thanks, mom.
​
No DMs. No clients. No cash.

Here’s what I wish someone had grabbed me by the protein-stained hoodie and screamed into my soul back in 2010:

Posting random content online is not a strategy. It’s a slow-motion descent into madness.

Back then, I was deep in the content salt mines.

Motivation Mondays.
Transformation Tuesdays.
Workout Wednesdays.
Thirsty Thursdays.
Freakin’ Flex Fridays.

And wanna know how that turned out?

· I was exhausted.

· I was demoralized.

· And I was $31,766 deep in credit card debt, praying that Chase Bank didn’t send a repo squad after my kettlebells.

Fast forward to now:
​
My wife and I both work full-time in our coaching business.
​
We’ve got a waitlist of clients.
​
We work with people we actually like.
​
And the business? Solid. Stable. Scaling.

The difference?

I stopped throwing content spaghetti at the wall like a deranged carb addict in a bulking phase.
​
Instead, I learned a system.
​
A real one. That turns content into clients.

Not by “working harder.”
​
Not by being a dancing chaos monkey on TikTok…
​
….But by following a strategy so simple it’s criminal that no one teaches it properly.

Here’s the dirty secret behind the ripped shirtless influencer types:

Most of the online coaches you follow?

They’re broke.

Their spouse has the job with health insurance.
They play pretend entrepreneur while desperately hoping someone will PayPal them $99 for a one-off macro plan.

I refused to be that guy. I bet you are in the same boat.

After many years and a laundry list of mistakes, I’ve been using that same system for years across IG, podcasts, email, and long-form newsletters like this. (Bias alert: I think newsletters are king.)

Now I’m thinking of showing that exact system to a very small group of coaches who are done with the “Post and Pray” method and want something that actually works.

If you’re one of them?

Just hit reply and say “Tell me more"

That’s it.

I am only taking 5 -7 coaches max this round as you will work with me personaly.

No pressure.

No fancy funnel.

Heck, I don’t even have a sales page created for this offer.

Just real talk from a former debt-riddled content monkey turned nerdy metabolic freedom fighter.

Let’s end the content confusion.

Much love and high-leverage posts,
​
Dr. Mike
P.S. Don’t wait for your content to get “better.” Strategy beats perfection. Every. Darn. Time. Hit reply here if you want to learn more about the Flex Diet Online Mentorship before the doors close or all the slots are filled.
