Start small. Like... really small.


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.

I appreciate you.

Hey Reader, If you’re only trading time for money, you’ll eventually hit a ceiling. Tutoring, coaching, workshops, consulting…these are all awesome businesses. But they all depend on you showing up...you giving your time. A digital product doesn’t. A good digital product: Solves a real problem your audience has Works while you sleep (or teach…or nap…or spend time with your family...etc) Helps you serve more people with less burnout This doesn’t mean you need a full-blown course or 57-page...

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,...
