You ever have a day where nothing goes to plan?!? Yea, me, too. It’s 6:51 pm. I’ve yet to shower. I had a convo with my developer last night at 11:00 pm “I’m launching this thing in 13 hours (noon)” I originally planned to launch it at 8 am, however, told him noon as I know we had things to do. I woke up this morning assuming he’d been working on it while I was drooling on my pillow. That was a stupid assumption. “Are you going to hook up Stripe? Why isn’t the domain set up?” I asked him this…

I drove Uber at 2 AM in Las Vegas to keep the lights on. Not metaphorically. Literally. Picking up drunk strangers on a Tuesday night because the online business wasn’t paying all the bills. I missed family dinners. I missed tucking the kids in at night. I put about 80,000 miles on my car before it got totaled. Then I jumped on Threads and answered hundreds of questions, 2 to 4 hours a day, and drove Uber at night. I launched Threads Unleashed on day 32 on the platform. That little 43 page…

I asked a client a question yesterday… What is the specific problem your offer solves? Then I asked a follow up question… Is every piece of content you create pointing back to that problem? Silence. Not because they didn’t know their offer. Because they’d never connected the two. Honestly? I don’t blame them. I struggled with that, too. Posting daily. Sharing stories. But nothing was connected. No destination. I used to yap about email marketing often when I was selling Threads Unleashed….

I read a post on Facebook this morning. It was from an entrepreneur who I respect. We’ve been connected 10+ years. His profile pic is a cartoon character. He’s has a faceless account long before it was cool. Anywho… He shared a story about a Toyota from 1955. A welding robot on the assembly line breaks down mid-cycle. The supervisor replaces the fuse. The robot breaks down again the next shift. Replaces the fuse again. This goes on and on. Finally someone stops and asks WHY. 5 times. Why…

We lost 29 – 15 today. We’re 0 – 5 on the season. 98 degrees in Las Vegas. Only 5 kids showed up. 5 on the field. No substitutes, or breaks for the kids. Just 5 kids running full speed in the desert heat for an hour. My son Ashton is the only one on the team with any football experience. He caught 2 big 4th down conversions today. And a touchdown. Just 5 weeks ago, during the first game, he was nervous. Hesitant. Waiting to see what others were doing before making any moves. Today, he was the…
