How Jerry Seinfeld made $267 million dollars in 1998 and How You Can Too
This simple trick can help you make more money than you ever made in your life
In 1998, a comedian named Jerry Seinfeld made a whopping $267 million dollars. And back in 1998, that amount was a very huge amount and it still is. And he also consistently earned $85 million dollars every year until 2008.

So, How Did He Do It?
What was his secret?
He was consistent at producing high-quality work. It is natural that when someone produces a large amount of work.
Some of that work will suck. Some of them will have bad ratings but it was so much fascinating that Jerry produced high-quality work consistently for a long period of time. Which is like a dream for many creatives.
So, What was his secret to producing high-quality work consistently?
Shhh... It's really simple yet the most effective.
Curtain rolls and
"Write Every Day". That's the secret.
He made a really simple system that made him extremely consistent which he shared with a junior of his. And the system goes something like this:
STEP 1:
Grab a Full Year Calender and A Big Red Marker
STEP 2:
Commit to Writing Everyday and Set The Bar Low. Even if you write one sentence in a day. Consider that you wrote something. Have this mindset of 1 > 0. When you're starting out. You don't need volume. You need consistency. And once you become consistent. You'll have a lifetime to up the volume.
STEP 3:
Cross out the date with the Red marker at the end of each day.
STEP 4:
After a few weeks, you'll form a chain and your only task is to not break the chain. Your only single job right now is not to break the chain in your calendar. Don't think about writing 2000-word articles or the quality of your writing. Just make sure you're writing daily.
And in a few years, you'll actually become a master of the craft. And once you become the master and get a hang of what works and what doesn't. You'll automatically start creating high-quality content every fucking day.
So, Remember this: "Mastery Follows Consistency"
