When I started this newsletter in January 2023… It was mostly for fun. I wanted to do something creative again. I had stuff to talk about from 10+ years of running StoryLearning. And I’ll be honest… It was nice for my ego too, to see my personal brand out in the wild, spouting my sagacious […]
Once, I sent an email to my list on “Why being bored can make you millions.” And then a question came in response: What is the rule of thumb for when you stop “adding”?I have 2 major revenue streams and am thinking of adding a 3rd which would clearly work too. But I also need to optimise the […]
Do you want to know the most common way entrepreneurs build out their business models? It’s like this: “I saw XYZ guru talking on Twitter about their new [product]… so I’m going to do that too!” Whatever that product may be… MRR thingy, premium newsletter, $7 tripwire… They just blindly copy it. They assume that […]

All very mainstream. Level 2 involves asking a far more interesting question of your audience: “Where are you at right now?” See, […]
As StoryLearning grew, I got used to something that sucked: Money coming in through the door. And then flowing right back out again. Now, this never used to happen. In the early days, when I was a humble solo-man, I’d keep all of it. But then somebody said: “You have to hire a team!” Wait […]
[Mentee] …yeah, you’re right. It makes sense to stick with the thing that’s working here. It’s really hard to say no to new things. But rather than starting this brand new thing from scratch, we should work on improving the asset we’ve already got. Man, you must’ve gotten pretty good saying “no“ to the all the […]
