An experiment I’m running in 2025

I made my first dollar online on the 31st of March 2022. I’ve since grossed $1,173,000 (at 82% margins). And I want to explain an experiment I’m running in 2025. But first, I’ll be honest: I’m proud of my results but it’s been chaos. Especially as a ‘solopreneur’. My revenue chart looks like a city skyline. I rely on a few big skyscrapers—the launch model. Launches are great for revenue, but ask any entrepreneur who runs big ones: They are exhausting. You spend months building tension You...

2 years ago, I felt insecure about my business. Why? Well, I make money from courses. I took it to heart when I heard entrepreneurs I admire say "the course business isn't real". After all, you don't need a big team. And usually you have a personal brand business, so you can't sell either. But I'm a little older now. A little wiser. Definitely a little balder. Here's what I realised: Online, there are many paths to success. Everyone thinks theirs is best. If you're not careful, you end up...

I started writing my first book on the 1st of February. A lot of people reached out to ask about the topic. I joked, saying that I like to tease. But honestly? I didn’t know either. My original plan was to write a book for entrepreneurs who want to grow their business through writing. After all, I’ve made $1,173,161.74 in 36 months without a team or business partner. … I’ve picked up an idea or two along the way. This book would be the smart business decision, attracting my ideal customer and...

Last month, I had dinner with an online entrepreneur. We got talking about business models. I spoke through my courses and recent coaching programs. But it was my weekly newsletter that caught her eye. I explained that it had roughly 150 subscribers (at the time) and was great fun to write. If you don't know it, it's called the Magnetic Content Masterclass. I break down 5 social media posts per week to help entrepreneurs grow their business through writing. Selfishly, I use it to create all...

A question that haunted me for years: If you can succeed at something you hate, imagine how good you'd be at something you love. I first heard it on a podcast whilst driving to the dental clinic. I gritted my teeth as the guest uttered those lines. I knew I was making a mistake. But I was too busy to do anything about it. Fast forward to today. My only regret was that I didn't start writing sooner. Play games you can win Intelligent people play games that they can win. And you can’t win what...

I'M INTERESTED! 4 weeks ago, I took 5 grams of magic mushrooms. I've been told that's a heroic dose. Within an hour of taking it, I found out why. Let me tell you how it went down (this is...

When I was a dentist, I envied people who made money with their minds. Sure, my job had some thinking—you had to diagnose and plan. But the work was mechanical. Drill this, fill that. Have the same conversations with an endless stream of customers. 8-10 hours a day, 5 to 6 days a week. You might not be drilling teeth, but perhaps your situation is similar. You’re wrestling a calendar full of commitments. You're stuck in a robotic routine. You're squeezing life into exhausted evenings and...

Before we dive in: Supercharge your personal brand I love using AI to think. And my friend Jodie Cook from Coachvox has put together 67 powerful personal brand prompts.
