Here’s a crazy story I’ve never told.

Back in December 2025, I had my first cancellation inside of CopyCreator Club.

Which initially bummed me out cause it was just 30 days after I launched it.

So I reached out to the girl who cancelled and sent her this email…

(Name has been changed to protect her identity)

Hey Kathy,

Bummed to see you cancel CopyCreator Club.

What made you decide to head out?

No pressure to reply. It just helps me figure out what works in the club and what doesn’t.

I appreciate it.

Alin

APPARENTLY…

What I wrote is not what she read.

Here’s what she read…

Hey Kathy.

I’m desperate for your attention.

I’d like you write at least 800 words of why my $50 per month club is a horrible fit for you (in super specific reasons that would only apply to you)

And write it as if you’re breaking up with a boyfriend, not cancelling a business community.

Also make you sure do the whole “It’s not you, it’s me” thing at the end so I feel better about my emotional life.

Thanks.

Because that is exactly what she did.

She wrote 877 words and gave me 13 reasons why she cancelled her membership including things like:

*She doesn’t want to be taught stuff

*She simply wants a place to talk to other people

*I’m younger than her

*I'm also way further ahead than her in business so I couldn’t possibly understand her business obstacles right now

*My reading tastes aren’t the same as hers

*$50 per month is not something she can afford (even though the price was clearly stated before she joined)

*She doesn’t want to be “called out in front of the class” if she hasn’t made progress

But the most wild of the ho’ bunch is…

THAT I’M SO HAPPY IT MAKES HER SUSPICIOUS.

In her own words:

“I’m not saying it’s fake but again the “always on” energy and happiness makes me iffy. I know you have to remain professional and upbeat at all times because we’re all paying you.”

So I slapped her on the back and told her exactly where she could find a depressed group of people who won’t teach her jack squat, aren’t ahead of her at all, and definitely won’t hold her accountable to growing her business.

That was the last I heard of her.

She may be crushing it for all I know.

Me thinks otherwise, but that’s neither here nor there.

What’s more interesting is that she genuinely questioned my happiness.

As if it would insane that I love what I do.

Think about that…

We’ve gotten to the point in our society where people assume anything other than misery with your work is fake.

Like it’s statistically impossible that this 33 year old grown azz Romanian man enjoys:

*Writing daily emails

*Helping people fire their boss

*Telling entertaining stories

*Working from home

*Playing golf whenever he wants

*Reading novels everyday

*Doing 50% of my work while taking long walks

THE AUDACITY!

Well, I broke her heart.

Cause almost a year later.

I’m still here.

Still writing.

Still cooking up a raving community.

In fact, we hit over 120+ people in there yesterday.

And I’m still my happy clam self every freaking day.

Not only that…

I did something that this chick is gonna hate.

I wrote a 28 page newsletter about…

“How To Make Yourself Burnout Proof Without Working Less”

O’ my lanta, she’s gonna lose her mind if she hears about this.

Cause inside I teach you:

• The 3 “F-Suckers”** that may be putting bags under your eyes… (and making you hate your business!)
  ​
• You think burnout comes from working too much…? WRONG! There’s a totally different culprit and it has nothing to do with 12 hour workdays…
  ​
• The funniest customer cancellation email I’ve ever gotten (and how I tripled down on doing the exact thing she said I should stop!)
  ​
• The “demon rodent” test that instantly tells you whether you should hop on a trend or not
  ​
• The single most important filter that the most famous direct-response marketer alive has used to stay in the same niche for 25 years without ever burning out.
  ​
• The boring reason a seemingly “ridiculous” meta ad started making $30,000/mo
  ​
• How a $145 billion investor answers the question “why do you still work at 92 years old?” in a way that will make you rethink your entire business
  ​
• Why taking more time off could actually increase burnout
  ​
• What a YouTube coach said to stop that stopped me from quitting YouTube
  ​
• The truth about why “happy” leaders make people suspicious
  ​
• The ONE thing (that if you did JUST THIS) could have you tap-dancing out of bed tomorrow
  ​

Also…

In this newsletter, I reveal the entire email she sent me.

Word for word.

My response.

And how I turned it into profit (AKA I’m happily making even more money by selling more subscriptions from this incident)

Gahhh she's gonna roll is her grumpy oversized sweat suit thinking about this.
