You can't "hustle culture" your way out of this [Live presentation]

Perry Marshall & Josh Long Thursday, February 19, 2026, 1:30 PM ET REGISTER HERE   Mel, Near the end of my MLM career, when things were already coming apart, I heard one of the leaders give a talk on one of the bajillion motivational cassette tapes I bought back then.  He said people were complaining about results because they weren't doing the work. Sitting in my car, I knew that wasn't true. He either couldn't see what was happening on the ground or didn't want to. The system wasn't working anymore (if it ever did), and blaming effort was the last move left. That was the moment it clicked for me.  Trying harder was finished. That era was done. We're in a similar place now. The old world of online marketing, content plays, info products. It's thinning out. A new environment is taking shape whether you like it or not. Everyone I know who's stuck is stuck in the same way: They're trying to extract more from a system that's already exhausted. You can double your effort and still lose ground because the board has changed. On Thursday, February 19 at 1:30 PM EST, Josh Long and I are walking through what's happening—and what actually needs to change. [Register Here] We'll cover: Where you really sit in the K-shaped economy. Are you shooting up the arm or sliding down the leg?  The three forces that decide whether AI helps or hurts Why so many businesses stall in the same revenue band Why pushing harder now accelerates the slide This is a live session with Q&A at the end.
