He woke up at 2:32am… 😴

G’day G’day friends, I had a 1:1 strategy call with Mark. He woke up at 2:32am to make this 3:00am call. I was blown away when he told me this. Tired but wired I admired his dedication and commitment. Mark is a 69-year-old solopreneur. But was struggling with his positioning. He had 45+ years of work experience. Decades of getting tangible results for his clients. He built a high value network through years of accumulating trust. He’s done the hardest part of being a business owner. But felt...

Do THIS to change your life 💪

G’day G’day friends, There’s a book club in Bali I go to every couple of weeks. It’s one of the best things ever. A group full of people who love books just as much as I do. Last night, we spoke about The Almanac of Naval Ravikant One of my favourite books (and people) ever. I learn SO much from this 2 hour conversation. The exploration of ideas. The telling of stories and experiences. Each member challenging each other’s opinions. Surround yourself with the right people in the right...

I confronted my enemy… 🤺

G’day G’day friends, I met a guy at the gym spending over 100k+ on ads. Yes, he spends over six-figures on ads ALONE. This was an unfathomable amount of money. But this isn’t a story about money or ads. I asked him: How did you learn this? He said he taught himself online. And then found someone to teach him. He moved to Dubai, did everything that guy said, and within a year got really good at running Meta ads. He developed this one high value skill. But what struck me was his drive. He...

I forkin love my job 💕

G’day G’day friends, I love my job. No like... I seriously love my job. I wake up everyday and get to help people build their one-person business. It’s one of the best feelings in the world. Every Thursday, I host a weekly community call. I bring together a group of solopreneurs from all over the world. Across Indonesia, Switzerland, USA. Like these legends: We problem solve: Improving delivery. Refining our offers for conversions. Generating traffic of warm leads and buyers. Starting and...

she made 4k with 3 emails 💌

G’day G'day friends, Bianca was worried. Jan - March is a notoriously quiet period in her industry. In previous years, she would struggled to make 1k revenue during this period. She would have dip into her savings to pay for product and rent. Every year, she dreaded this period. It felt like she was barely surviving. She felt powerless to stop what everyone in her industry called a ‘dead period’. Everyone accepted this ironclad rule like physics or gravity. But I didn’t believe that. I knew...

but I’m not a “business person” 👩‍💼

G’day G’day friends, I bet you’ve heard someone say: “I’m not a business person”. Maybe you’ve even said it yourself… That’s what one of my subscribers Michelle (name changed) told me. She’s accumulated 32 years of experience as a meditation coach. But she feels stuck. After decades of working for different schools, she doesn’t know how to start on her own. She feels overwhelmed. What’s a funnel? What’s an offer? How do you get someone to buy from you? All these questions keep her stuck in...

the broken ladder 🪜

G’day G’day friends, James is a father of 3 children under the age of 12. He’s spent 2 long decades climbing the corporate ladder. But he was finally a Director in a government department. A position highly sought after given his age and work experience. He thought the day he got this promotion he would feel complete. Like his problems would melt away and he would be set for life. But his dream started to morph into a sad reality. As a Director, he spent more time navigating turf wars with...

the reason you’re dreading 2026 ☹️

G’day G’day friends, The holiday period is over. Those glorious 2-3 weeks you were looking forward to all year is gone. You’re starting to feel a growing sense of dread. That sinking feeling knowing that the work year is starting. 2025 felt like yesterday. But now your mind is already clicking back into gear. All the emails. The office politics. The pointless meetings. The new ‘2026 strategy’. All the BS you’re going to endure for another 12 months. You can feel the life slowly drain from...

they ruined my New Year 😵

G’day G’day friends, Happy New Year! I celebrated the New Year in Bali. I needed two coffees just to be awake But the downside of being on a party island is well… the party people. Around 4:00am in my guest house, some guests decided to bring the party back. Clubs were closed, but they didn’t want to stop the good vibes. So they started drinking, playing loud music, and being raucous. My beautiful New Year’s sleep was rudely interrupted. I decided to investigate, so I went outside and just...

financial freedom in 2026 🌟

G’day G’day friends, I celebrated Christmas with my 91 y/o grandmother. She told me what it was like to be born in 1934. Look, I’m not very good at maths But I realized my grandmother was almost 60 before the Internet was born. She had basically lived her whole life without the Internet. And the Internet in the early 90s was vastly different to the Internet in 2026. We live in an incredible time. The Internet gives anyone the ability to create generational wealth. Even the most painfully...
