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.

Your Minimum Viable Week. If you're...

Hey Reader, Most entrepreneurs I know have a lot of ideas. Like...a LOT. And yes, by "most entrepreneurs I know" I most certainly mean me included. The reality is, we all have a lot of ideas. Otherwise, we'd likely not being doing what we do. You probably have your ideas in something like a Google Doc, a notes app, a Trello board, or in a physical notebook somewhere. We all have our place (or places) we put all those ideas. And that space is likely filled with course ideas, lead magnet ides,...

Hey Reader, I recently came across an idea called The Coffee Shop Test. The original idea, from what I can find, comes from Lawrence Bernstein in a post on LinkedIn. I'll link it below. His post was about public speaking, but as I was reading it, I couldn't stop thinking about how perfectly it applies to building a business. So, I want you to imagine something. You're sitting at a coffee shop with an old friend you haven't seen in a few years. You're catching up and eventually they ask: "So,...
