Hey Reader, You don’t need more time. You need fewer “yeses.” Every time you say “yes” to one thing, you’re saying “no” to something else. Usually, it’s your peace, your priorities, or your actual business goals. Here’s the truth: You’re not going to grow by cramming more onto your plate. You grow by choosing what stays on the plate, and what doesn’t even make it to the buffet. Let’s practice. Start saying “no” to: Random opportunities that don’t align with your goals Content you feel...

Hey Reader, Sending this one a day early, because tomorrow is Thanksgiving for those of us in the U.S. If you celebrate it, Happy Thanksgiving! Ok, so let's talk about all those to-dos on your list.. If your list feels never-ending, it’s probably because you’re saying yes to too much or not filtering with intention. Let’s fix that. Here’s a simple 3-question filter to run every task through before it eats up your time, energy, or sanity: Is this connected to my current 30-day focus? If not,...

Hey Reader, If you’ve been wondering why your revenue feels like a roller coaster, here’s a hard truth:A lot of businesses plateau when they only have one offer. A single course, a single PD session, a single tutoring package, a single coaching program… it’s all the same problem. You’re basically leading people up to a cliff and hoping they’ll jump into something bigger on their own. Most won’t. Not because they don’t like you or your work, but because you didn’t give them a next step. That’s...

Hey Reader, If you’re in a season of overwhelm, one of the simplest ways to get traction is to choose one clear focus for the next 30 days. That’s it. One. Not because you can’t do more, but because your energy is a limited resource, and you’re more likely to finish what you start when you’re not juggling 18 other things. Here’s what that one thing could look like: Grow your email list by 50 people Create and launch a small paid offer Start posting 2x/week on LinkedIn Interview 5 ideal...

Hey Reader, Here’s something I’ve learned after coaching dozens of educators through their business journey: your best ideas usually start in the classroom. The way you teach, the systems you’ve built, the lessons you’ve created...those are the same skills that can help you build a thriving business. That’s what The EDUpreneur Launch Summit is designed to help you do. You’ll hear from educators who have: Built consulting and PD businesses that work with schools across the country Launched...

Hey Reader, A common reason EDUpreneurs feel stuck is because they’re using the wrong playbook for the season they’re in. It’s like trying to run a marathon while following a couch-to-5k plan. Or worse, it's like trying to follow 3 totally different training plans all at once. So, let’s get clear: What season are you in? Wait...what do I men by "season?" Essentially, it's just a fun way of describing where we're at in our journey. The Starter SeasonYou're building from scratch. You’re...

Hey Reader, If you're anything like most me, (and most EDUpreneurs I know), you're juggling 37 tabs open (in your brain and your browser), 3 half-finished offers, 2 podcast ideas, and at least one digital product you're "almost ready" to launch. And yet… you still feel like you're not doing enough. That guilt? That overwhelm? That never-satisfied to-do list? It’s not because you’re lazy. It’s because you’re doing too much at once, and none of it has the space it needs to actually work. Here’s...

Hey Reader, You finally launched your thing. You hit publish, posted the link, maybe even sent an email or two. That's awesome. (and I'm proud of you, btw) But then…crickets... No sales. No DMs. Not even a “Hey, this is cool.” Ouch. Don't worry, I’ve been there. More than once. (Actually, more than twice, three times, etc) Here’s what I want you to know: A slow launch doesn’t mean you failed. It just means you have data now. No one buying your offer doesn’t mean your idea is bad. It just...
