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 friend, We made it! Not just to a new year, but through another year of building, experimenting, winning, losing, learning, and creating together. And whether 2025 felt like momentum or maintenance, big wins or slow steps, I want to take a moment to celebrate what you’ve done. Because the truth is, most people never even start. But you did. You’re building something that matters. And that’s worth raising a glass to. 🥂 As we step into 2026, I want to let you in on where we’re heading and...

Hey Reader, 2026 will most likely be another hard year. And That’s Okay. Every December, the same promises show up right on schedule. 🥳 “New year, new you.” 🥂 “Everything changes in January.” 🎉 “This is the year it all clicks.” It sounds nice. It looks good in an Instagram post. And it feels good to say as you watch the ball drop. But it also ignores the reality of being in business. The calendar flipping doesn't get rid of your stress. It doesn't solve the problems you've avoided. It doesn't...

Hey Reader, Every year, the internet fills up with bold predictions about the future of business. Heck, just the other day, I shared some from Joe Pulizzi in the EDUpreneur Community. Some are really interesting, but a lot of them feel like recycled trends with new buzzwords slapped on top. The reality is, EDUpreneurs, creators, entrepreneurs, and small business owners have been quietly pushing back against burnout, noise, hustle culture, and complexity. And the ones paying attention now will...
