Life is a lot easier (and we are easier on ourselves) when we view everything as an experiment. We don’t need to have all the answers—we just need to be able to run micro experiments to get the answers we need.

There’s the traditional financial model: work until you’re 60 and retire. Then came new age models like FIRE. In this article, I’m sharing my own financial model.

I first started doing Quarterly Strategy Sessions with my friend Stef Caldwell. We love peer-coaching one another through life and career. Stef has a way of seeing me more clearly than I see myself at times. Here’s how we structure our sessions and the benefits we’ve both noticed over time.

I miss the romanticism of studying at University. For the next few months, I’m treating my work like a fall semester. Here’s how…

How do we preserve our personhood, privacy, and well-being in a world that encourages us to share more of ourselves online?

I recently read Stretch by Scott Sonenshein on the value of stretching our resources instead of chasing after more.

Scott was particularly interested in “why some people and organizations succeed with so little, while others fail with so much.”

If your business is making $250,000 a year. It’s a lot easier to focus on growing that to $500,000 a year than it is to try and make $250,000 with outside investments. In this article, we’ll talk about building indestructible wealth.

At the beginning of 2022, I had a strong desire to find a business coach. I needed someone who had similar values and goals as me, but who was a few steps ahead of me.

My goal is to have a decades-long and fulfilling career. I’m not looking to clock-in-and-clock-out for a paycheck (although there is nothing wrong with that). Knowing this about myself helps me remember that slowing down is my ally.

Rich people buy objects. Wealthy people buy assets. But also, there’s so much more than that. Here’s my list of what makes someone truly wealthy.

I recently read We Should All Be Millionaires by Rachel Rodgers. I wanted to share some of the profound takeaways from the book, including excerpts.

I recently had the opportunity to interview NYT Bestseller author Mary Kubica and senior VP agent Carly Watters, among others. I’ve been asked a few times how I invited them to the show. Today, I’m sharing the pitch template I used.

I recently Googled “financial benchmarks for performance” and found quite a few rules but none of them resonated with me: You can measure your net worth against your parent’s at a similar age. You can compare how you’re doing compared to your peers (but that’s just a guess).

Some people get an ick feeling about the word retire. If you’re like me, maybe you envision yourself working/creating to some extent forever, but on your own terms. You can think of FIRE as the pivot point to when you can do whatever you want because income is flowing to you effortlessly whether you work or not. With FIRE, you can’t “run out of money.” Your wealth becomes self-regenerating.

If you’re a multi-hyphenate creator like me, chances are you don’t fit neatly into a one-word profession. I kept trying to find my “one thing” and felt discouraged. It was liberating to discover I could have a portfolio career and achieve my own version of success this way.

I realized a large obstacle we face as we chase goals is learning how to combat self-doubt. Having a vision holder can be a helpful person to turn to when doubt creeps in, but I started to realize - we can’t always turn to Vision Holders. We have to be our own vision holder. If you read the next paragraph, put yourself in the shoes of being your own guide. Can you imagine how empowering this would be?

“Build Once, Sell Twice” outlines exactly how Jack Butcher developed his audience and products. The audience he built is not only large, but also engaged. A large percentage of his followers buy from him. While you’d have to take the class to see the fantastic Google Sheets, videos, and designs, I wanted to share some takeaways that might benefit you today.

It’s been important to me from day one to operate a very lean business. As you run and grow a business, the expenses tend to stack up and eat into profits, so I try to stay as lean as possible. This often means digging into tools and doing research so I can find a low-cost tool, or when possible, a free tool.

Over the weekend, I read The Automatic Customer: Creating a Subscription Business in Any Industry by John Warrillow. I loved it! In this post, I’m going to summarize book highlights so you get a taste of the power of subscriptions.

A street team is comprised of close family and friends who are interested in helping you boost book sales. The goal is to develop a strong team of people who are willing to review your book, post about your book on social media, and share the book with as many people as they know. It’s not only a helpful marketing tool, but it also provides you with community and support throughout your book launch.
