It's 9AM at 9PM
No, your clock isn't broken...
How I Turned My “Relentless Obsession” Into a Daily Ritual That Could Change Your Mornings Forever—And Why Upgrading to Paid “It’s 9AM” Is the Smartest $5 (or $50) You’ll Spend This Year
Hey it’s Chris,
Picture this: It’s 9AM. Your coffee’s cooling on the desk.
The world’s noise is already creeping in—emails, deadlines, that nagging voice asking, “Am I really building something real?”
Three years ago, I was right there.
As a guy who’s cranked out over 200 novels across genres, launched a monetized audiobook channel, and stared down the barrel of “digital business” skepticism, I knew I needed a ritual.
Not some fluffy affirmation.
A real, gritty, daily grind documented in public.
That’s how “It’s 9AM” was born.
Every morning (or close to it), I sit down and share the raw truth: the wins, the wipeouts, the hacks that actually work.
No fluff.
No salesy BS. Just me, building a business you can see, touch, and steal ideas from.
You’ve been with me—opening these emails day after day.
Out of 7,000 subscribers, you’re one of the elite 2,400 who actually read them.
You get it.
You’ve grabbed those free books, dove into the bonus books I’ve tossed your way, and maybe even felt that spark: “Hey, this guy’s onto something.”
You’ve seen posts like “Plan the work, steal the plan” where I break down how I repurpose old content into a flywheel that keeps growing.
Or “Too old and too mean,” where I talk about pushing through when the world says stop.
Heck, you’ve probably nodded along to “Sad is just Das spelled backwards,” flipping negativity on its head.
But here’s the hard truth:
Free is fantastic for dipping your toes. It’s why I give away so much—boxsets, books, access—to keep you fueled.
But if you’re like me, comfy isn’t enough.
You want the edge.
The stuff that turns reading into results.
That’s where paid “It’s 9AM” comes in.
For just $5 a month (or $50 a year—saving you 17% like a smart investor), you unlock the full arsenal:
Exclusive Deep Dives: Free posts are the appetizer. Paid gets the main course—bonus breakdowns on monetizing your obsessions, like how I turned 400 novels into passive income streams. Think templates, case studies, and strategies I don’t share publicly.
Private Perks and Freebies: You’ve loved the free boxsets? Paid members get first dibs on new releases, exclusive audiobooks from my channel, and surprise drops that keep your library growing.
Community of Doers: Join discussions with other relentless builders. Ask questions, share wins, get feedback. It’s not just reading—it’s networking with people who show up every day.
Ad-Free, Full Access Archives: Dive into 3+ years of posts without distractions. Searchable, yours forever. Plus, every update hits your inbox first—no algorithms burying it.
Support the Mission: Your subscription fuels this ritual. It lets me keep delivering daily(ish) gold without selling out. And honestly? It feels damn good knowing you’re invested in real growth.
Don’t just take my word.
Remember that post “Here’s What Won.”?
It’s about showing up consistently—that’s what paid does for you.
Or “It’s like it’s all by design”—paid “It’s 9AM” is designed to push you over the edge from reader to achiever.
I know what you’re thinking: “I’ve got the free stuff. Why upgrade?” Fair question.
But ask yourself:
How many free newsletters have you stuck with for 3+ years?
This one’s different because it’s real.
And right now, I’m aiming small— just 3 more annual warriors and 10 monthly motivators to hit my next milestone.
Be one of them, and watch your own 9AM transform.
No risk—Substack’s got your back with easy cancels.
But I bet you won’t.
Once you taste the full flavor, free feels like half-empty.
