Stop Guessing, Start Testing

Everyone's shouting about what's working in 2026 right now. And I'm getting hella frustrated about it. Especially after some big news in our industry (yes, I'm talking about Amy Porterfield closing Digital Course Academy), the doom spirals are in full swing. But before you panic pivot your entire business based on someone else's hot take, I need you to remember something: most of what you're heari...

I’m in a bit of a ranty mood today. I spent some time scrolling Facebook recently and it was wall-to-wall "shortcut marketing." I saw ads promising to replace developers in 60 minutes, ads claiming you can make $250k with zero tech skills, and even one claiming your birth date is your $360k business plan. These claims sell, because who doesn't want the shortcut? But I think this is actually the in...

How do you feel about failure? Is it something you’re scared of, or something you embrace? It might sound strange, but I am actually hoping I fail really badly in 2026. I hope there are some spectacular disasters. Everyone else is out there planning to win big, but the truth is, the more I fail, the more I learn.

They have the recipe and the ingredients, but the result is usually a hot mess of sliding cake layers. That is exactly what happens when we buy "shortcuts" and blueprints in online business. We have the template, but we don't have the same team, budget, or experience as the perso...

We are currently in that weird, liminal space between Christmas and New Year’s. You probably don’t know what day of the week it is, and you’re likely fueled by leftover chocolate. But if your brain is anything like mine, it hasn’t switched off. In fact, it might be spinning faster than ever. You’re looking at 2026 and suddenly, the "good ideas" feel heavy. You’re asking: Should I launch a new prod...

Ever looked at your business and thought “why isn’t this working?” or “what should I do?” and then jumped into a new tactic because you saw it on Instagram, YouTube, or in someone’s email? In this first episode, I’m explaining why running an online business is basically a forever game of Guess Who. The goal isn’t random guessing. The goal is asking better questions that give you clues, reduce unce...
