I've been terrible at this


Hey Reader,

I've been terrible at this newsletter. Five months of radio silence because I didn't love the structure of the same thing week-in-week out.

But here's what happened: During that time, I started building something new called First Step Entrepreneur, and I've been struggling with it daily. Despite 25 years of building businesses, I still get paralyzed by the same fears everyone does.

Turns out that's exactly what people need to hear about. So I'm scrapping the "1 Problem, 3 Solutions" format.

Instead, I'll just tell you what I'm learning while building this thing - the messy parts, the failures, the tiny wins that feel huge.

If that's not what you signed up for, no worries - there's an unsubscribe link is at the bottom.

But you're are one of my original people (seriously, thank you for that), so I wanted you to know first: I just launched FSTEP. It's six weeks of structured practice at taking action when you're scared or uncertain.

Right now there's a huge discount (77% off) to make it accessible to everyone. But honestly, I care more about having the right people than the money. If the cost is still a barrier and you're committed to sticking with it and giving me real feedback, just reply to this email and I'll send you a code to join for free.

You can see what I'm building at firststepentrepreneur.com

Thanks for sticking around despite my inconsistency.
