Plastic (k)Nots: How Three Letters and Three Costs Helped Me Earn $500/Month

Hey [First Name],

Some lessons in business are wrapped in the simplest of things. For me, one of those lessons came from a seemingly ordinary object: a plastic knot.

At first, it seemed like just a tangled mess.

But over time, I saw three letters—K-N-O-T—transform into three lessons.

Lessons that helped me reframe obstacles and turn them into an extra $500/month.

💡 Three Letters, Three Costs, Three Lessons

Here’s how a simple kNOT taught me about mindset, opportunity, and execution.

1️⃣ “K” → KNOW THE COST

Every obstacle has a cost.

Sometimes it’s money, but more often it’s time, energy, or clarity.

💡 The first step is identifying the cost of NOT addressing a problem.

For me, the plastic knot symbolized wasted effort. Every time I avoided dealing with small inefficiencies in my business, I paid with lost time.

Lesson: Understand what it’s costing you to leave problems unsolved.

2️⃣ “N” → NAVIGATE THE REFRAME

Most obstacles aren’t permanent—they’re problems waiting to be reframed.

💡 Instead of seeing knots as a mess, I started seeing them as opportunities to simplify.

When I reframed my messy workflows, I saw ways to improve efficiency. This clarity helped me streamline my processes and save hours every month.

Lesson: Reframing problems helps you see solutions you didn’t know existed.

3️⃣ “O” + “T” → OWN THE TENSION

Knots don’t untangle themselves.

💡 You have to work through the tension to create clarity.

In business, this meant owning the tension of complexity—breaking down what wasn’t working and rebuilding systems that did. By leaning into the discomfort, I created a system that now generates $500/month in additional income.

Lesson: Tension isn’t a barrier—it’s a signal that action is required.

🚀 The Plastic (k)Nots Takeaway

Every obstacle has:

✅ A cost → What’s it costing you to ignore it?

✅ A reframe → How can you turn it into an opportunity?

✅ A tension → Are you willing to own it and create clarity?

Plastic knots aren’t just problems. They’re lessons in disguise.
