Start small. Like... really small.

Published 28 days ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

​

One of the biggest mistakes I see EDUpreneurs make?

Trying to build too much for their first product.

​

A 12-module course.
A 100-page guide.
A complete curriculum bundle with bonus videos and a certificate of completion.

​

Slow down. Start smaller.

​

Here’s what I want you to hear:
Your first product isn’t about showing how much you know. It’s about solving one specific problem.

​

Some low-lift product ideas to consider:

  • A $9 template (like a lesson plan, content calendar, or email script)
  • A $15 resource pack (like worksheets, slide decks, or activities)
  • A $27 mini-workshop recording
  • A $19 ebook or playbook (no fluff, just focused advice)

​

What do all of these have in common?
They solve one clear problem for a specific person.

​

This kind of product is easier to create, easier to sell, and easier to learn from.

​

Then, once you’ve got your first product out into the world, you can gather feedback, iterate, and build more.

​

But first: Start. Small.

​

You in?

Hit reply and tell me the smallest, simplest product you can imagine making.

Hey Reader, I said it before, and I’ll keep saying it: AI isn’t the future anymore. It’s just part of the environment now. “AI-powered” no longer impresses anyone. It’s expected. Everyone uses it. Every tool has it built in. Every platform integrates it. Every update mentions it. And yet, most of us feel more overwhelmed than ever. Not because we aren’t using AI. But because we’re constantly wondering if we’re using the right AI. Here’s the reality AI tech companies don’t want to admit: Most...

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...
