I just gave an 8-minute TEDx-style talk in front of a 250 person audience. I successfully "exited the matrix" and traveled for 7 years....but eventually came to one epiphany about life by the end of the journey. Here's my story:

Two years after the AI hypetrain launched... Most of the flashy AI apps are total novelty acts. Fun to mess around with for 20 minutes, then forgotten forever. AI is incredible at replacing boring tasks, but we're nowhere close to robot overlords running the show. Here are the

The biggest mistake I made as a new local biz owner: Not testing marketing funnels fast enough. Now, I: 1. Pick a new marketing channel 2. Allocate a $1000 budget 3. Spend the budget fast 4. Gather data 5. Keep the channel or toss it Faster testing = diversified revenue

FINALLY got to 1,000 YouTube subscribers today 🙌 Sometimes you forget how painful it is to suck at something again. Making YouTube videos is something that was brand new for me, and it's been an absolute grind. Took me 9 MONTHS to get 1k subscribers. I know generally this

Want to make $20M dollars? Don't start a cleaning business. It's like showing up to NASCAR in a Lexus... Reliable? Yes. Winning Daytona? Not so much. Here's why this matters... Think of business models like vehicles in a video game. Each has different stats for: • Speed to

Purposefully being unavailable is an oddly effective way to delegate to your team.

I've read a lot about solopreneurs running a super lean team of just them + an army of $5/hr VAs... - Pros: better margins with that model, probably - HUGE Con: you probably have a bunch of Yes-men and no one on your team who will give real discord / challenges

It's always interesting how people value convenience in different things. Some people will call 5 different cleaning companies to save $50, and then that exact same person will opt for the "convenient" path and trade in their car to a dealership and lose $1000s. My rule: if
Trading in cars is lighting money on fire. Tesla offered me $35,300 for my trade-in. I spent 30 minutes taking pictures on my iPhone & listing to FB Marketplace for $50k After 1 week & ~2.5 hours of chatting w/ buyers it sold for $50k My time is worth less than $5k an hour.

So I've been back in the US for about 2 months now after living in Rwanda for 6 months… And here's something I've been musing on.... we think we're in control of what success looks like to us. But honestly? Our environment is writing the scorecard without us even realizing
I spent 6 months in Rwanda. Got back to the US ~1 week ago. And theres this realization about American culture that I can't shake. It's been bouncing around my head all week. Here's what I mean... I've been to 60 ish countries, and I think every country has a “whisper”. A

Took me way too long to realize that your recruiting funnel for home services is wayy more important than your sales funnel. Getting that dialed is the key to fast growth, not marketing.
