Three months ago, I was lying in bed dreaming about this moment.

I kept telling myself, “One day, I’ll wake up and the holidays will be here.”

Fast forward to two months before the holiday, and I was cursing under my breath, thinking, “Damn, it’s still two months away.”

One month before the holiday, the excitement started bubbling up, but it still felt so far off.

And now, here I am, one day before the holiday, sitting here, marveling at how fast time flies.

Strange, isn’t it?

So, why am I telling you this?

Well, there are two big lessons here.

First, never underestimate the power of being present. And second, savor every damn moment you’ve got on this spinning rock we call home.

If you’re always stuck in your head, daydreaming about the future, you’ll miss out on the present. You’ll miss the magic happening around you right now.

It could be anything…

The most obvious is quality time with your loved ones. But it’s also about appreciating nature, your personal growth, seizing spontaneous opportunities, and finding joy in simple pleasures like a good conversation.

And here’s a big one for me: creativity and inspiration. You don’t want to be walking around with your head in the clouds, missing out on all the amazing stuff happening around you. Especially when it comes to drawing inspiration from your surroundings.

You’d be amazed at how the smallest things can spark a brilliant idea. Like a piece of trash on the side of the road inspiring a flyer design for a cleaning company.

Or seeing a woman cleaning her window sparking a series of ads about the importance of washing your gear after a mountain bike ride, selling everything from power washers to cleaning cloths.

In other words, don’t miss out on those small details you can only catch when you’re fully present.

Tune your antenna. You’ll find that coming up with new ideas becomes a breeze.

And if you need a powerful tool to turn your ideas into content that grabs attention and brings in new subscribers, here’s your best bet…

P.S. Did you know there’s a goldmine of extra cash waiting for you? It’s just sitting there, ripe for the picking, through tools like Glorify, Systeme, ThriveCart, and thousands of other amazing platforms as an affiliate.

If you’re already using any of the tools on my handpicked list designed to save you time, why not sign up as an affiliate? Get your link and create something of real value to offer people signing up through your link.

They’ll love you for it.

You’ll make some serious cash.

Anyway, just saying.

If you wanna learn more about it, here is where to go…

Actually more of a flyer, but still a design that you can easily turn into an Instagram social media post or Facebook cover if that’s what you’re after.

Or shall I do it for you?

If yes, then hit me up. Send me an email with your request, your name, and what exactly you want.

Just keep in mind that I might charge you somewhere between 20-50 EUR for the custom work.

If that’s something you’re interested in, let me know.

Other than that, you can grab this design, change the style, text, colors, size, and pretty much do whatever you want with it.

What you can’t do is claim it as your work. Also, you can’t upload it anywhere and sell it.

Still want it?

Okay, here it is…

How do you go from this…

…a simple photo of a product to something more presentable, something spicier and worth people’s attention?

…to something like this?

Well, I’m glad you asked, because what I’m about to show you will help you boost your product images like nothing else.

Ready?

Use contrast in your images.

Do you see the rectangle and how the color stands out?

Well, this is for a reason. If you were to remove the rectangle, there would be nothing to draw your eyes to. It works like an anchor. It makes the product pop from the background.

It makes it easier to see what this image is all about. Plus, the color is bright, making the whole image stand out.

But anyway…

Now that you know, what are you going to do with this information?

All the best…

Libor

P.S. If you want the project file (as a template) to expand on it, turn into something even more beautiful and powerful, then by all means grab it here.

WOW! The last day of the 30-day Glorify Templates Challenge is now coming to an end…

To finish it off in style, I designed this beautiful flyer.

https://designwithglorify.com/b/glorify-templates-last-day

If you’re into bold, grungy, rugged-style designs and looking to present your products or services in a powerful way, then this flyer might be for you.

You can simply replace the placeholders with images of your products, change the text, and call it a day.

It’s up to you…

Anyway…

If you’re interested, here’s where you can grab it…

https://designwithglorify.com/b/glorify-templates-last-day

Now let me say this…

What this design challenge taught me is this:

It isn’t about perfection.

Creating a flow that works is more important.

Publish, publish, and keep publishing.

Satisfaction is in the process.

Less is more…

And finally, even with limited time, 1-2 hours a day, you can do a lot…

…which turns out to be another reason I wanted to start this challenge.

I wanted to push myself and see if I could wake up earlier or stay up late in the evening, cut all the excuses, quiet my mind, and just do it.

And it turns out that I can…

I’m feeling great right now…

Anyway…

Tomorrow, I’m going to sort all the templates and prepare them for bulk download in case you’re interested.

Last thing before I let you go…

Thanks for being part of it.

Catch you tomorrow…

Back in the day, when I was starting with graphic design, I learned something important…

I worked on a flyer that turned out to be a big pile of mess.

What I had on my canvas could easily be described as bird vomit.

I had…

Three different fonts…

Color palettes that didn’t go well together…

My layout was all over the place.

I used way too many graphics.

And as I kept adding different graphics to it, it became unclear what the whole message was all about.

Just as I said…

…A PILE OF MESS!

I left it alone for a few days and started searching online for what I was doing wrong.

I stumbled upon a video that explained one very important thing I had missed.

It hit me like a sledgehammer over the head…

I GOTTA MAKE IT SIMPLE!

This is when I realized that less is more.

And it completely changed the way I design today, where my focus is and how important it is to have one clear message throughout the whole design.

Because here’s the thing…

Cluttered design will distract your viewer, follower, or potential customer…

Have too much on your canvas and they won’t understand what you’re trying to say…

More than two calls to action result in no action taken almost every time.

And so…. have a clear vision, know what the message is… and make sure it’s clear and easy to understand.

Hope this helps…

You see, most people spend their entire lives working for someone else, even though they absolutely hate it.

You hear them complain almost every day.

But then, they do nothing about it.

They come home and spend the rest of the day watching TV or playing games. And like this, it goes on for 20, 30, even 40 years until they retire and wonder what the hell happened to their life.

So, how do you stop this self-destructive cycle that’s literally killing people?

You do NOT want to wait until you retire to start living, or do you?

There are opportunities on every corner.

Take the strategy from the 7-Day Shift course as an example.

Literally, in 7 days or less, you can start a small affiliate business online, recommending high-ticket products (products that you love), build a following on social media, and earn a percentage from the purchases your die-hard followers make.

And then, if you’re like me or thousands of people who went through this course, watch the sunset with a beer in your hand while listening to waves crashing on the shore. Or have enough time to hike, cycle, play ping pong, skate, shoot arrows, chill on your favorite sofa, and do nothing if that’s what you desire.

I’m not exaggerating.

This is what happens when you have automations in place… which you’ll learn about in this interesting 7-day course.

Grab it here and see for yourself.

I believe in this project so much that I started designing all kinds of content for social media, but also high-converting funnels in Systeme.io to help beginners start now and make it even more easier than it already is and so, today, I’m including these Instagram story posts, which I now offer as templates for you to grab, quickly adjust, and run with to see if you can attract new eyeballs to your online show.

Here it is for FREE…

You can download this Glorify template below.

If you’re into relaxation, meditation, or perhaps recording outdoor sounds for those in dire need of rest….

…individuals struggling to get rid of anxiety…

…and you’re in need of a logo for your existing project or you want to start a new one…

…well my friend, hold your horses, because what I might have for you today, on the 11th day of the Glorify templates challenge, might be exactly what you’re looking for, if not the best logo you can get your hands on for FREE!

It’s this simple yet powerful logo I call “Outrest,” which could set the tone of your project just right and make your brand stand out…

…giving you advantage over businesses with super ugly, unrelated, sometimes bizarre logos…

You could, with just one click, download it into your Glorify account and call it a day…

Go do what you do best…

And forget the rest…

If I sparked your interest with this logo, its style, the color palettes, and it fits the bill, you can download it below.

And just as easily as saying yes, turn it into a beast of a logo, a mind-blowing representation of your brand, business, or whatever you’re working on…

Let’s go!

Rolling into Monday with a new Glorify template…

This time, it’s all about surfing.

When I was in New Zealand, a friend of mine was big on surfing.

We used to drive to Tawharanui Peninsula (about an hour and a half from Auckland)… a beautiful place with awesome beaches, cliffs, and great hikes around the peninsula.

When the weather was right, the waves would be spot on!

I’m not really into surfing… so I would pick up my old, trusty Nikon D90 (mind you, back in 2008 this ancient camera was a big deal) and I would go around the beach, looking for textures, taking photos of the landscapes and him surfing and so on…

Anyways…

A few years later, he became an instructor – teaching kids how to surf.

Back then, it was difficult to build landing pages… not to mention creating a membership site.

The tools we know today didn’t exist back in 2008…

Systeme.io wasn’t even in planning yet.

Leadpages, Clickfunnels, Optimizepress, none of them existed.

Optimizepress, which I started using from 2011, became my favorite landing page builder until Leadpages took over.

So imagine… it was a real mission to set up and run a membership site.

And I don’t remember how he pulled it off.

All I know is… I handed him a bunch of graphics, hero images, widget ads, and wished him good luck.

But anyway…

Why am I telling you this?

To realize that you’re living in some of the best times ever. If you want to start a new business, build a new landing page, build a new course, membership without any coding skills whatsoever.

And build it in just a couple of hours using, for example, systeme.io…

And the part that amuses me the most… do it for FREE!

So there really are no excuses here.

Anyways…

Another fantastic Glorify Sunday morning session… this time featuring images of myself…

What would I do if I had to create an ad for myself to appeal to small business owners and encourage them to hire me?

What kind of images would I need to create?

Excellent question…

And so, I got to work.

My girlfriend took photos of me. I edited those photos in Lightroom and then imported them into Glorify.

Even though I like all of them, I would probably more variations of the same designs, write different copy, try different headlines and then test them first.

Find out which one works best, gets most responses from people through comments, likes, and questions… and based on that, determine which one to use for a real ad.

Because sometimes we think (and I’m as guilty of it as anyone else) that we’ve hit a home run, only to realize that it’s the worst performer and no one likes it.

So…

I suppose the lesson for today is…

TEST IT…

See how your market, people in your niche respond to it first before you invest a significant budget, only to realize it didn’t work.

And if it doesn’t work, change the message, change the design, change the color palette… whatever it takes until you find the winner.

Anyway…

Here is what I’ve designed this morning.

Now…

Do you want me to share this Glorify project file with you as a Glorify template? I could turn it into a template and give it to you.

If yes… hit me up.

Comment “find the winner” below and I’ll send it to you.

You’ll need those two fonts uploaded in your Glorify Brand Kit.

• Heading Now,

• Knockout Bold

…before you can use this project, otherwise it won’t work.

Recently, I designed this simple FB post and received some questions…

One of them was about the color palette…

To which I replied…

The color palette is taken from an ad that used to run in one of the outdoors magazines.

I took a screenshot and opened it in Glorify, where I used the color picker to sample the colors and create my own version of the color palette.

It’s something you can do when you see colors you really like.

Now, to take it a step further, add it to your “Brand Kit” so that you can use it in any project.

If you do that, it will appear in your libraries under the Brand Kit –> Brand Palettes panel.

Select your canvas, go to your brand Kit, Brand Pallets and click few times on the color pallet you’ve just added and see how it changes the look and feel of your design.

Personally, it’s my favorite feature in Glorify.

But anyway…

The takeaway from this short message is…

Have a swipe file of great ads, designs, and create color palettes from it, and then use them in your projects.

Few months ago, very close friend of mine sent me a video of Joe Rogan inspiring the living hell of everyone… And I wanted to share it with you because it’s something I’m listening to every morning now, and it makes a ton of differnce in how I tackle my tasks for the day… 

And I’m positive, it’s gonna jumpstart your creative juices too if you give it a shot. 

Watch it… 

It’s short. 

And then watch it again and let it sink. 

If you wonder what’s my numero uno productivity tool that let me keep track of my daily tasks… here is your answer. It’s called Blitzit.app and it’s AWESOME!

A few months ago, I joined Steven’s 5-day offer challenge and received several bonuses, one of which was this community-driven “Capitalist Pig” t-shirt that has already offended a few people in my circle…

Are you planning to wear this t-shirt?

Hell yeaaaaaah…

And there’s nothing you can do about it…

Yesterday, my girlfriend took a few photos of me wearing it. I then took them into Glorify and turned them into this…

But it ain’t about the t-shirt… It’s about what Steve has done for me… Because what I have learned in the last few months alone is priceless and well worth anyone’s time.

I have only great things to say about this 5-day offer challenge.

After testing a few offers and receiving real feedback, I’m finally on the right track.

There’s no point in spending three months building something no one wants.

First, validate your ideas before you spend months on them…

And then build them…

So I’ve been playing around with a few concepts for a fresh Glorify template bundle when suddenly, BAM!

An idea for a split image smacked me square in the face, like a heavyweight boxer.

Here’s how it looks so far…

Not bad for a few minutes of work.

If you’ve been following me for some time, you may have noticed that I designed something similar to this a few months ago… which I have now revisited and slowly turning into a template bundle for you to use.

Mainly giving structure to my design ideas.

And making it available so that you have no excuse not to pick any of my templates and run with them.

I’ll keep you updated on the progress as I’m not planning to finish it today.

If you want a finished collection of Glorify templates that pack a serious punch, lace up your hiking boots and embark on the journey to seize them!

I just played a song I used to listen to when I was 20 years old, called “Big Calm” by Morcheeba, and every time I hear it, it sends shivers down my spine.

Not only does it ignite a massive creativity spike in my mind, but it also inspires most of my designs. It’s something every creative person is looking for…. that spark source that gives them a creative edge.

And I’m glad, we’ve got specific music that can do that…

Anyway, here’s the challenge:

Write an entire email in less time than the length of the song.

Can I write the entire email in such a short timeframe?

Can I offer you a quick tip in two minutes or less?

The answer is yes.

Why would I want to do that?

Because there’s something magical about being forced to write in fast bursts like that.

It compels you to write without editing, which is crucial for allowing your mind to generate ideas you otherwise wouldn’t.

It allows for a natural flow.

And guess what?

Play the song five times, and in about ten minutes, you’ll have five emails written down that could cover about five days worth of content.

Listen, it doesn’t have to be emails… it could be social media posts, replying to comments, or jotting down all the tasks you’re supposed to do for the day.

Whatever it is, what I’m trying to tell you is this…

Write in fast bursts and see how much you can accomplish in such a short period.

Compared to someone who needs ten minutes to warm up, you can be miles ahead.

Try it.

It works like magic.

P.S. Yes, you guessed it right. This quick tip was inspired and written using this challenge.
