How to spot a shiny object Read this post online instead. Knitters might recognize these terms: Startitis (being distracted by something new before finishing the current project) UFOs (unfinished objects, particularly those that have taken a back seat due to startitis) SABLE (stash acquired beyond life expectancy, which—when mixed with a dash of startitis—leads to UFOs) You’re not out of line if you’re sensing a similarity between knitters and solopreneurs. In the entrepreneurial world, we...

Simplify Read this post online instead. Not long ago, while scrolling through YouTube, I came across this video about a new feature in Notion. If you don’t know, I’ve been using Notion to manage the business off and on for years, and more seriously for the past several months. I’ve been slowly moving in my SOPs, my content calendar, my notes, my CRM, and I’m happy with the system I’ve built there. But that video threw a wrench in my plans. It reminded me that most apps prioritize new...

The curse of consistency Read this post online instead. I’ve banged on and on about consistency for years. You might even say I’ve been consistent with my messaging about consistency. Recently, I’ve discovered that consistency is a trap, and it looks like this: You’re still showing up just like you always have, but your KPIs have plateaued. Views, subscribers, revenue—whatever you track—haven’t moved in months. Or worse, they’re moving in the wrong direction. You’re bored. You’re doing the...

I spotted this ad on Facebook today: What if you could get advice from the version of you who already achieved what you’re working toward? Not from a coach. Not from a podcast or a course. But from You. The clearest, calmest, most focused version of yourself — available on demand, every day. That’s what The Future You AI Coach™ does. It’s not a new piece of software you need to buy. It’s a set of prompts and workflows and works directly inside your ChatGPT. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I...

How to thrive in this modern content marketing landscape Read this post online instead. Last week I told you how I’m using content to grow my business in 2026. I heard from several people thanking me for the ideas and inspiration. I also heard from one client who said, “I know I should be creating more content, but my network and email list is so small, I feel like no one is even listening.” She’s not wrong. No one is listening at this point. But that’s not a reason to wait. In fact, it’s a...

Why most solopreneurs struggle Read this post online instead. Every morning was the same. That uncomfortable tightness in my stomach. The low-level feeling of dread. That panicked voice in my head asking, “What day is this? What am I behind on? Where have I dropped the ball?” For years, that was my wake-up routine. No one else knew how much I struggled. It wasn’t obvious from the outside, but inside? I was a knot of anxiety from the minute my eyes opened until I crawled back into bed,...

My complete content publishing system for 2026 Click here to read this post on my website. I’ve been a daily email writer for seven years. That’s more than 2,500 emails written. Probably somewhere around one million words. But it’s time for a change. Daily email isn’t working for me anymore—and not for the reasons you might think. I do still believe that daily email is a powerful way to build community and create engagement. So why the change? Because this email-forward system is hiding my...
