That's Return On effort β€” ROe β€” and it's the filter behind everything we teach. Join the thousands of entrepreneurs who have subscribed and learn how to build a YouTube channel that brings in clients without becoming a second full-time job.

We just changed our name

An important story for ALL business owners from my partner Candy Harper... ----- Last week a client asked me if she should "also start a podcast." She already has a YouTube channel we built with her. She already has a newsletter. She already has a content calendar that has more precision than a military extraction. And now ChatGPT had helpfully suggested a podcast, a Substack, and "maybe some Reels too," and she was ready to say yes to all of it because the robot said so. I told her umm...no....

My 16yo saw there was a package out front, but he was unwilling to grab it for me.

But most of the time we delay because it feels...

High Leverage NOT Hustle Last weekend I invited my 12-year-old to go on a bike ride that included getting ice cream. πŸ˜› He got excited, but said he wanted to ride his scooter instead. I reminded him that it would be SIX miles (almost 10k) round trip and much harder on a scooter - but he insisted he'd be fine. About 8 minutes in, he started complaining that his hands were hurting. I suggested we turn around, but he wanted to keep going. Five minutes later: One leg was sore AND blisters were...

High Leverage NOT Hustle Do these sound familiar? β€œThe truth is…” β€œIn today’s world…” "Not X. Not Y. Just Z." If they do, you are either using AI to help you write content, or you're reading a lot of content from other people using ChatGPT to write. And there's one big danger in doing this... But first, let me be transparent... I use AI to help me write content. πŸ™‹πŸ»β™‚οΈ So I am NOT bashing the practice. If you consider AI to be a better writer than you, why wouldn't you use it, right? But the...

High Leverage NOT Hustle When I coach a client about scaling their business, what I'm about to share is NOT what we focus on. We mostly focus on designing high leverage assets (YouTube channels, higher converting offers, webinars & more). But if you're trying to scale without working more, we do have to look at basic productivity. Ask yourself this uncomfortable question: "What am I saying Yes to when I should be saying No?" (If the question isn't uncomfortable, think deeper). In a coaching...
