Who is Kieran Drew?

He is an ex-dentist who grew his online business to over $500K a year in just 4 years.

He went from 0 to 1$ in 18 months and now is doing what he loves, location-free and permissionless.

I started to notice that fast success builds the ego, and slow success builds the character!

Kieran is a clear example of a powerful character who beside the fact he went through the glass-eating process of building a business and quitting dentistry after 10 years of hard commitment he was also challenged by a spinal tumor that threatened his ability to walk by the age of 30.

So Kieran is a good reflection of a saying that also helps me keep my head up when I feel down- "Sometimes when you're in a dark place you think you've been buried, but you've actually been planted” 

How he started

Kieran started writing a couple of months before the COVID lockdown was about to end.

Because his job demands him 6 days a week till late in the evening as a dentist, Kieran was left with a single option “You have to start the day working for your dreams, and not your bosses”.

He started with 2 hours every morning and not in the evening because after bad days he couldn’t focus.

So he realized that the most mind-clearance version of him was from 5 am before everything else came in.

Then the hard part was about to strike when opportunities started screaming out and he couldn’t hide the voice telling him every second:

"You really don’t want to be here; you really want to be writing."

With a bit of luck, he changed his old job to a new one that allowed him to work from 6 days a week to only 3 which left him with an extra 42 hours.

Motivation & Discipline

Kieran prioritizes purpose and joy over everything else. He saw a quote from Naval Ravikant “Life begins when you realize you only have one.”

At 18 yo he discovered a spinal tumor around his neck, and Doctors warned him that he must follow the surgery immediately, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to walk until 30.

At 28 while working as a dentist, he realized if the surgery wasn’t made he had only 2 years left, and a question struck him “Why I am doing what I don’t like if my life was about to end in two years?”

Naval was right-

"Life is so much simpler when you realize how little anyone else cares about what you do. Life begins when you realize you only have one."

Growth Strategy in detail.

1. Imitate, then Innovate

Putting the reps in, the learnings, and the knowledge, will assure you the winning! there isn’t another way, it’s just a matter of numbers, you must develop the power of not giving up.

The path is already made by people who’ve been there before, you just have to follow in their footsteps, it will lead you somewhere so you can breathe a little bit, and then you can prepare for your own approach.

It’s like medicine college, first, you learn exactly what is working then you can research and innovate.

2. Free content works. Treat everyone as a customer before they buy.

You must invite people to invest in your course, why should they do it, and what brings for them.

Show the worth of buying from you. That means you have to share most of your content for free, and when someone decides to buy he’s doing it because wants validation, and all the pieces of information gathered in one place.
