Say no more (literally).


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 obligated to make, but don’t enjoy \
  • Collaboration requests that drain your energy
  • Projects that keep you busy, but not better

Start saying “yes” to:

  • The one thing you’re focused on for the next 30 days
  • Tasks that grow your audience, your list, or your revenue
  • Systems that give you time, energy, and sanity back
  • Offers that align with your actual business (not just your hobbies)

This isn’t about being rigid. It’s about being intentional.

Less noise. More traction.

You’ve got this.

~ Jeff

I appreciate you.

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...
