It goes without saying that everything happening right now is all a dream come true.
In the last couple of days I filmed for Inside Edition, Katie Couric, and The Today Show. All to talk about my new GetTheGuy book and ‘Ready For Love’ on NBC. This week, there is A LOT more to come.
And yet, while my dreams are coming true, it’s still hard.
People often forget that when trying to achieve their dreams. And that there will be ways in which life is still hard once they’ve achieved them. My life right now is hard. It’s hugely exciting and rewarding, but it’s still hard.
First, there is the pressure to perform. The next few days are going to be the biggest (and most nerve-racking) of my life. I’ll be appearing on somewhere in the region of 12 different TV shows, 10 different radio stations, and in more articles than I can keep track of. Performing is something I’ve done for years now, every weekend at my events. I can speak for 50 hours over 5 days straight (a long way from not being able to give a 5 minute speech in class at school!). It’s become second nature to me.
Except that all of this hasn’t been a ‘performance’ for me. It’s been me. It’s my love, my passion, my baby. My ideas, my thoughts, my stories, my personal experiences… everything is me. As I evolve and change, so does my material. As my story gets richer and more diverse, so do my ideas.
I believe that a great deal of my success has been due to my authenticity, my candidness, and the fact that I’m congruent with my material. So it’s something of a bind. The more authentic I get, the more successful I become, whilst simultaneously deepening the extent to which I let people into my world and my life.
Tomorrow, the number of people who will be exposed to me in that way will be beyond anything I have ever experienced.
And that’s a little scary.
Last week a delightful journalist by the name of Amanda Stern interviewed me at my hotel in New York. She gave me one of the most interesting interviews I’d ever had. She was honest. She was tough on me, and didn’t let me off the hook on anything, but I really liked her.
As the interview was nearing a close she said, “I’m a little worried about you”. She expressed her concern for everything that was about to happen to me. I mentioned to her that although I was scared, I was resigned to staying true to who I am, to what I believe, and not getting sucked into becoming something I’m not. I also said that my friends and family were there to keep me sane and be my rock through all of it. And they do, everyday (I remember when I went back to London to see them recently, I couldn’t so much as ask my mum for a cup of tea without my brothers saying, “Oh look at this guy, he’s gone all Beverly Hills already…pathetic”. I love them so much!).
As I was thinking about what constitutes my ‘rock’ in life, or rather WHO, I began to think of you – my readers, my viewers, my clients. Recently I released our book trailer video, “Kids Talk Dating Problems” – which I’m told might be the most viewed non-fiction book trailer of all time, though I’m not sure. When I released this, alongside the lovely comments from people who saw it as the light-hearted bit of fun it was supposed to be, we also had our share of very strong negative comments on Youtube. Now it’s not that I mind the negative comments. I really don’t. They are part of life and they certainly make things more interesting. If anything they spur me on to create more. But these negative comments do remind me of something…
That when I come back to my own blog I feel like I’m home.
Because I have you. You are my rock. You welcome the new things that I put out with open arms. You celebrate it. You share it. You support me. There is something that to me is extraordinary about this little world we have created together here. It goes beyond you just liking the content of the blog. You actually want the best for me as a person. And that is a rare thing.
It means more to me than you know to have somewhere I can come back to where people know me and love me, and the knowledge that even once the show and the book have come out, you will still be here fighting forward with me gives me so much joy. Let’s face it, there will be new people who arrive here, but I love more than anything that you will be crusading with me on the journey… my original crew : )
All this is to say that you are more than my clients and followers. You are my friends. And I love you.
We are a team, and we stick together. I will keep making videos and articles to support you. I will keep writing posts and staying honest not just about my triumphs, but my flaws, my insecurities, and my doubts. There is nothing we cannot achieve as a team.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for always being there for me.
Always here for you.
Matthew xxx
P.S. I can’t wait for you to see what’s coming tomorrow. There’s an email that’s coming for you at 7am. Stay tuned.

when i started watching your youtube videos i knew you were going places, you are honest, brilliant, and you give so much…and I’m so glad you are getting there, we will probably never meet (really hope we will) still you are my love guru, and you have helped me like you have helped thousands of women around the world, you have the power of touching hearts and changing lives…and that is something very few special people have so congratulations for all you have accomplished, you deserve this and so much more and i am honored to have been through this growth with you and for you to have been a part of mine.
thank you and best of luck with this new dream …let the new ones come.
best wishes from your mexican friend!
Keep leading with your heart and don’t let your ego get in your way. Stay true to yourself and your vision and beware all of the coattail riders who will try to latch on.
And remember to call your mum! Time will fly by quickly; always take the time to reach out with love to those who have stood by you all these years.
Namaste`
Good luck! You’ve helped me grow so much as a person since I discovered you a year ago – FAR beyond the constraints of just ‘getting a guy’. I feel like a new me.
It might be scary but becoming more famous will just mean more people will get to hear your advice and grow in confidence. Don’t ever think for a moment that you will ‘lose yourself’ in it all. Your very nature seems so self-examining that it would be physically impossible. Just enjoy your amazing journey ahead!

Thanks Matt,
Although your name and my bf name is the same, somehow between both of you, you earn extra point because u sent me this love letter.
Best wishes to you and your career. Take care and have a safe trip wherever, whenever.
xoxo
I knew when I watched my first Matthew Hussey video on Youtube that you were someone to listen to. Besides having and ‘it’ factor that has now translated into quite a bit of fame and success (that we all knew was inevitable), you can tell that you have always been genuine in your advice for women. I have learned so much from you and continue to work on myself…I can’t wait to see what else you have in store! {I even had a guy that I’m friend-zoned with comment the other day, “Something about you is different…you seem more confident!” Because of your strategies, I could genuinely answer, “I am!”}
Keep up the great work and keep remembering this original crew! ;) We heart Matthew Hussey.
Ps. I’ve been singing goodnight songs tonight :) & hoping YOU had the best sleep :)
Rest & relax incredibly well :)
:)I believe in YOU Matthew Hussey :)
:) ☀☆☀ YOU ARE THE BEST ☀☆☀ :)
Your a truly amazing person! And because of that you are blessed with this success :) I’d like to think god doesn’t give you anything you can’t handle! :)
You’re amazing and a true inspiration, Michael. You keep me going at the best and worst of times. I love your honesty and positivity. Stay true as I believe in you babe. x
Matthew, thanks for the letter – it was genuine and sweet just like you. You deserve the success you are having! Keep loving…
Matt, thank you for the letter. I look forward to the book and the show….best of luck!
PS. Get some sleep and smile as you wake up to your new world. Hugs!
Here’s to an abundant life for you and your team!
I’m hoping that your show will be on Hulu the next day it airs, won’t be able to watch it due to my work schedule. looks interesting in the adds they show on Hulu :)
This was very touching, and we appreciate that you still make time for us, your followers. Good luck in everything, you will be fantastic! Thank you for staying true to yourself and to us.
Matt, I am so very touched as I do feel every single word spoken here with heart. Thank you so much for enriching my life- all of our lives! Everyone sure could use a REAL good cup of coffee that most often rarely gets delivered right. The world will be blown away very shortly. So you go, Matt!
Matt!!! I can’t describe with words how touching your message was to me. I think if I wouldn’t have seen one of your videos many months ago I wouldn’t be the person I am today. Your ideas have inspire me to be a creator of opportunities and have empowered that little side of my personality to come out of the darkness and guide me through many adventures my soul was desperately craving.
Not only you have given me tons of knowledge but also amazing life lessons that I’ll cherish forever as I become my better self. If it wasn’t for technology and the fact that you have shared with the world your message I could still be lost and living in much pain.
Thank you for being so awesome, so inspiring and such a valuable human being.
I can’t wait to see you on tour!.. I think I’ll faint or die o.O
Take care and keep being real!!
Matthew!!!
We don’t know each other – sure, ok. But I consider what you do my ‘minor’ haha. Anyway, it may sound weird but, I’m so proud of you!!!
Today, I was in a Mexican ‘restaurant’ and they had the tv on. I turned to look at in the nick of time and I saw your bright and smiling face. Ohh, I feel my heart swelling with pride, even typing this right now. I’ve been ‘following’ you since… actually, it’s probably over a year now!! Ahh! It was a tv spot for the Katie show… I started yelling (practically), “Matthew! It’s Matthew!!” My brother did not know who you were, or why I mentioned you with so much affection. And I’m sure the others in the restaurant didn’t really understand either. Anyway, this is how far and how deep you’ve burrowed yourself in my life. And all these updates lately, MAKE. ME. SMILE.
It’s ok to be scared – I’ve been making major moves for the past three years. There’s a difference between acting on fear and acting on faith. Fear is an emotion that’s gonna happen. It’s almost a fact. But it can be used positively – AND YOU KNOW THIS!! You know it, this is a big thing- yes, but… you can do it! A support system is soo important. I’m glad I can be a part of your support system =^) I know you are def a part of mine on life and… dudes haha
Not sure if you’ll even get to this post with all the many positive responses here. But..thank you for being you. We are all connected to each other & by helping others we help ourselves. Stay true to yourself – take time just for you. And don’t do things that make you unhappy. Life is far too short & precious for that. Good on you for achieving success & helping so many people communicate. Be well.
