The most valuable skill you need.

Hey Reader,

The most valuable skill you need to develop is not marketing.

It's also not selling.

It is not designing creatives, writing ad copy, building funnels, SEO, or even understanding how to utilize AI.

The absolute most valuable skill you can develop, that will actually help you truly grow a successful business...is listening.

Listening helps you create better offers.

Listening helps you write better content.

Listening helps you sell.

Listening helps you build community.

Listening helps you narrow your focus.

Listening helps you cut what doesn't bring value to those you serve.

Stop chasing trends.

Stop trying to come up with the next big idea.

Stop deciding what your audience needs.

Start listening to the people you are trying to help.

~ Jeff

I appreciate you.

The thing is, I never really understood what that "balance" should look like. Does...

Hey Reader, Instagram. LinkedIn. Facebook. TikTok. Pinterest. Substack. Your newsletter. Your blog. Threads. And whatever new platform just launched while I was typing out that list. Some times it can feel like we're supposed to be everywhere. That if we want to succeed, we need to be everywhere. And everywhere you look, there are voices telling you to be everywhere. "You NEED to be on LinkedIn." "Substack is where all the attention is at." "Every business should have a podcast." "Newsletters...

Hey Reader, You've probably heard of an MVP or "Minimum Viable Product." This is essentially the simplest version of your product, offer, or service. We usually discuss an MVP when we're talking about launching a new product and dealing with perfectionism or procrastination. It's about getting it out there, in its simplest form, so you can test it and get feedback from your audience, and then go improve it. So that's your MVP. I want to talk about your MVW. Your Minimum Viable Week. If you're...
