Lost and looking for answers 🔎


In 2023, I almost lost my business.

I had overspent.
I encountered a large tax bill.
I had to delay payments to subcontractors.

I felt like a complete failure.

It almost broke me.

Every night, I went for a walk and cried.
I couldn’t sleep. I barely ate.

The thought of telling everyone my business failed?
Unbearable.

The doubt crept in.

My colleagues would be right.

Everyone who questioned my choice would be right.

In desperation, I signed up for Uber Eats.

Just in case I needed some cash.

I was lost.

I'd never felt so low in my life.

Then, while doom-scrolling through Instagram,

I found The Storyteller Sprints.

This group of legends were solopreneurs working towards the same thing I was.

A community of people who got it.

This is what I'd been searching for.

I invested in myself.

I joined every weekly call.

Got advice, support, and mentorship.

I didn't feel so alone in my struggles.

In the six months of joining the community, my life changed.

  • I felt less alone.
  • I learned new skills in sales and marketing.
  • I recovered my biz back to $20k per month.
  • I grew my Medium followers from 6,600 to 25,000.
  • Managed to sell that business to a larger consultancy.

All within six months of joining this community.

Because success isn’t about never struggling.

In business, struggle isn't optional.

It's guaranteed. You're going to fail. Period.

The difference?

Knowing how to bounce back faster.

You could be going through a lost period right now.

If so, I get it. It's tough.

If not, I can show you how to avoid it.

That’s why I built the Launch to $5k Inner Circle program.

Inside Launch to $5k Inner Circle, you'll get:

  • Access to all my workshops, resources, and templates (worth $2,500)
  • An exclusive community of growth-focused solopreneurs.
  • Direct feedback from me on your offer & sales strategy.
  • Weekly calls to keep you accountable.

This isn't just another course.​
This isn't just another coaching package.

This is the community that will push you to the next level.

Only a few spots are open.

Not everyone will be accepted.

I'm looking for people with an existing offer who want to scale to $5k+ MRR.

Reply "LOST" and I'll send the deets.

Doors close in 4 days.

P.S. My backup plan is still to become a TikTok Durian reviewer. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.

Late last year, my business hit a ceiling. I knew the clients I had weren’t going to get me to the next level. Don't get me wrong, I loved my clients. But in business, you have to do the hard things. What got you here won't get you there. I was working very hard, but earning… just okay. I wanted more than 'just okay'. I knew I could add heaps of value to established businesses. So, I changed one thing: My positioning. I made one simple positioning change: Move from coaching beginners →...

Hey friend, I sat down with an old friend Navdeep Pasricha. We talked about how to create a business that makes you wealthy. Not just financially. But wealthy in physical health, relationships, and energy.

I've been in Bali for 4 days now. I'm loving the co-working space, gyms, and beach. While working out at Body Factory, I had a brainwave. Every country has a position. Not just politically. But every country occupies a space in your mind. When I say France, you think romance, wine, Paris. When I say Japan, you think precision, tech, sushi. When I say Switzerland, you think luxury, banking, mountains. And when I say Bali… You think digital nomad paradise. See the pattern? Great positioning...
