Tai's Forgery Method.

This is a must read…

It’s 3:07 in the morning.

I’m reclining on my Herman miller aeron.

Hands are on my head.

The city hums beneath me, restless and indifferent.

Got a number of tabs opened up. Each one begs for my attention. Capcut. Portfolio research. Instagram analytics.

My chest tightens, my inhales increase with depth.

I’m wearing a black tracksuit. Hooded up.

I look out at the city beneath me.

The balcony door opens up.

The air entering the penthouse feels limitless, underscored with a hint of pure drive.

The blue light from my laptop glows straight at my face, displaying a reflection I almost don’t recognize.

Got a bruce wayne x biopolar playlist looping faintly in the background.

The bass echoes off the penthouse walls.

Just loud enough to take me out of the mental corridor I was drifting down.

I’m honed in and focused.

The UK is fucked.

200,000 millionaires have eloped alone due to super high tax rate.

An empire in decline has no use for visionaries.

I went to my local library earlier this week to do some reading.

On the desk infront of me, I saw a boomer. Lady, she looked like she’s in her late 50s. glasses. purple fleece. tophat on.

She had her laptop opened up with two spilt chrome tabs: on the left was an empty word document, on the right a pdf titled: “How to develop an entrepreneur mindset”.

Next to her on the right, her tablet shows an ongoing episode of a k-drama series.

The easiest audience to sell anything to are women.

They eat that shit up.

The lady probably payed £200 for that pdf.

Which she saw under the instagram profile of a female actuator who has had a clean run this year, doing 6 figs this year from airbnb arbitrage.

But people like the lady I saw in the library don’t witness the days of endless doubt hanging over, the days where no progress was made, the countless failed pitches to investors.

But who cares now?

What people will do to “gain” results are crazy.

No one really loves the dark. They just enjoy the aesthetic.

Before anyone comes for me, what gender do you think Instagram was primarily built for?

If I wasn’t using these apps for business, I would have deleted any apps ran by Meta long ago.

These apps are not run by developers.

They’re run by psychologists.

Study psychology, what makes people buy. You will rule the world.

Don’t focus on what you can control.

Focus on what you can do.

Make that perspective shift.

A rush always indicates there is a lack of something… do not rush.

Patience and attention are two of the most valuable currencies.

You don’t need to master them.

You need to use them constantly.

You will be ahead of 99% if you do.

We are standing at the gates of 2026.

I think I will be doing £50k months next year.

Understand it has never been easier.

If I had no motion right now, I would look into being an online salesman for an ai agent/product.

Or making a snapchat show, using ai to make and script videos.

Snapchat is going to be really big next year.

These are just two of the plays I read about in the guide I got from one of today’s sponsors: Mindstream.

Now, let’s talk about what you’re really here to learn: The Forgery Protocol.

Before we continue, tuck into today’s second sponsor: Masterworks.

Last Time the Market Was This Expensive, Investors Waited 14 Years to Break Even

In 1999, the S&P 500 peaked. Then it took 14 years to gradually recover by 2013.

Today? Goldman Sachs sounds crazy forecasting 3% returns for 2024 to 2034.

But we’re currently seeing the highest price for the S&P 500 compared to earnings since the dot-com boom.

So, maybe that’s why they’re not alone; Vanguard projects about 5%.

In fact, now just about everything seems priced near all time highs. Equities, gold, crypto, etc.

But billionaires have long diversified a slice of their portfolios with one asset class that is poised to rebound.

It’s post war and contemporary art.

Sounds crazy, but over 70,000 investors have followed suit since 2019—with Masterworks.

You can invest in shares of artworks featuring Banksy, Basquiat, Picasso, and more.

24 exits later, results speak for themselves: net annualized returns like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8%.*

The Forgery Protocol is simple: niche, copy, adapt.

The old economy paid people for knowing.

The new economy pays people for doing.

This gap will only become wider.

Understand people pay for high quality content.

Not just with money.

With time and attention.

This is the whole basis of followers on social media.

When people consistently choose this person/faceless page to allocate their time and attention to.

The Forgery Protocol may seem so simple. you may have already been doing this unconsciously.

But now you are doing this with intention, everything shifts.

Stage 1: Niche.

The problem with most people is simple…

They don’t have any direction.

They’ll try editing for 3 weeks.

When that doesn’t work they’ll try AI automations.

Give it three weeks, then they’re posting creatives on tiktok for their new dropshopping product.

Sit down. No music. No dopamine. Take your notebook out. And niche to the max.

When I first started posting videos on Instagram, I copied newmentalities for a while.

And I mean to the exact t.

The speakers I selected, the audio choices I used, the caption style, the thumbnails.

Everything I posted was designed to mirror his content style.

Scroll back far enough on my Instagram page and you will see.

A vision is only a vision if you can see.

Anything else is pure delusion.

And I don’t mean only seeing it physically.

If a mental picture starts to appear, even if lasts 2-5 seconds initially.

Don’t ignore it. A vision is being formed.

First starting out on Instagram, I knew I had to pick one page to copy. Only one. max two.

Anything more than this it becomes harder for you to figure out the why.

After every newmentalities post, I analysed and analysed, trying my best to replicate his video style.

This contributed to my early growth and me hitting 20k followers on Instagram.

Which brings me to the first step: niche.

In whatever you choose to do, e commerce, content creation, dropshopping, ads agency… sports.

The Forgery Protocol is universal.

Carefully select 1 or 2 people.

No more, no less.

And study them relentlessly.

An example: if you wanted to pursue dropshipping.

Pick 1 or 2 dropshopping youtubers who are providing free game: Jordan Welch, Liam Ottley, Iman Gadzhi(his older vids).

And study them intensely. Every single day.

You’re not trying to build a “pretty” business model.

You’re solving a problem. And getting paid. Fast.

The more intentional you are, the faster you will figure out why.

Why someone positioned the camera that way, why someone typed out an ad that way.

Remember it’s not about the results.

It’s not about how much views you’re getting.

It’s about the understanding.

Which you use to get 100x more views. More clicks. More attention.

Realise you can see everything.

You see actuators who are doing $7k a day from e-commerce, who have grown to 100k on instagram, and who are generating 5 figures a month through courses.

The only thing barrier that exists is the why.

Courses attempt to dissolve this barrier.

Don’t get me wrong. Some courses can be life-changing.

But take it from someone who is on the other side, a large variety are solely money grabs.

This principle goes beyond business: if you wanted to become a professional footballer, you pick 1-2 footballers to use as your template.

You study their clips, see how they strike the ball, their body positioning. Every single day.

There is no reason why you should not be able to find out the why.

Step 2: Copy

At this point, I was copying newmentalities for a while.

Me copying him really developed my understanding.

I understood more about my hooks, how music determines the “tone” of a video and so much more.

Until I reached the point where I felt like I had gained full understanding.

This usually happens when you start to become bored.

I started adding my own twist. b roll clips. dynamic captions. colorgrading.

which brings me to step 2: copy.

Copy, copy, copy… then you adapt.

What someone is doing, to the exact detail.

You may think:

“Nah bro, that’s cheating”.

“Why should I copy someone elses work?”.

You’re not in school anymore.

Money never stops flowing.

Money loves speed.

When you copy someone consistently enough, you begin to understand the why: the underlying intention behind why they done it.

Nothing is special about courses.

They only unlock the “why” at a faster rate.

Otherwise everything else you see in plain sight.

Let me give you an example.

Richard from Elevenstoic on Instagram generates £10-15k a month selling his course on how people can make reels and posts like his, and how to monetise them.

The average “consumer” who is never bored, doomscrolls 24/7, sees his videos and images pop up consistently on their feed and naturally assumes because of the high quality, it is extremely hard for them to replicate his videos and posts.

As an owner of a faceless instagram page myself, his videos are not complicated to make at all.

Pro tip: if you see someone consistently posting every day, they don’t have a complicated video process.

So what does Richard do?

He identifies a pain point.

People want to make videos like his but they don’t know how to.

He capitalises on their desire and makes a course detailing how people can do so.

If the average person nowadays didn’t have the attention span of a cocained up wall street floor trader,

Leave an 22 year old, drowning in college debt, needs a way out actuator alone in his room for one month.

He would learn how to make Richard’s videos but most importantly the why behind it, using this as the foundation to make even better videos than his.

Go on youtube and watch dropshipping case studies on how they generated £1M in revenue from their store in 6 months.

Only focus on that video. Copy the strategy to the exact t.

Copy with intention so you gain the understanding.

Otherwise you’re wasting energy.

Step 3: Adapt

I used the understanding which I had gained from copying newmentalities post for post.

It became my foundation.

Then I adapted.

I started adding b-roll clips. Camera animations. VFX.

And it worked. It got me a lot more traffic to Chasers Max.

Which brings me to step three: adapt.

Where you have the confidence to begin trying and testing your thoughts out loud.

This is where the real fun begins.

You can begin trying new video styles for your audience.

New methods of advertising your product to your audience.

Testing any psychological warfare meths you learned for any sales people in here.

Now, if you have Niched and copied and you still don’t have confidence to adapt… Don’t panic or fret. Instead dissect and cure.

Dissect and Cure

If you’re a content creator, and results aren’t going your way. Don’t move over to the next model. Sit the fuck down and ask yourself:

Is it my video quality? My hook? My storytelling? My music choice? My b roll?

Write it down. Then just focus on fixing that.

Don’t sugarcoat any reasons… get rid of your ego. Be real with yourself. No matter how embarrassing that may be. Write it down.

Then go back to what you picked to niche down on.

Then fix it. One at a time. Like a surgeon who doesn’t rush, but never hesitates.

Understand something... this process will feel uncomfortable.

It’ll feel weirdly foreign.

That’s because your brain is addicted to the “I’m trying” phase. that sweet, comfortable illusion of progress.

It loves the "struggle identity" more than it loves actual success.

The fear of success is more real than the fear of failure.

So if it feels uncomfortable, good.

That’s how you know you’re finally rewiring yourself.

That’s how you know you are adapting.

So that’s the Forgery Protocol. Niche. Copy. Adapt. And dissect and cure if things aren’t going your way.

Anyways I’m gone.

Excuses don’t build empires.
