​ ​ *************************************** What to Do in a Slow Season in Business *************************************** ​ The year was 2012. I'd just graduated from law school and taken the Bar Exam — yet I wasn't in a courtroom screaming, "OBJECTION!" ​ I was unemployed and crying into my iced vanilla latte in a South Jersey Starbucks, pretending I wasn't accumulating hundreds of dollars a month in student loan interest. ​ I'd graduated into a recession. My classmates were losing jobs they hadn't even started — or taking huge pay cuts to keep the ones they had. ​ My then-boyfriend, now-husband, and always-employed-as-a-professor, Ryan, called. ​ "What are you going to do today?" he asked. ​ "Absolutely nothing. This sucks. I've applied for over 200 jobs and heard nothing," I told him. ​ "Take advantage of it. You'll get a job. When you do, you'll wish you took advantage of the freedom you have now," he said. ​ But I didn't want his wise, sage advice. ​ I wanted to be busy. To carry a briefcase down Market Street in Philadelphia, on my way to a glass-encased office lawyers have in movies. I wanted to pay off my dang loans. I wanted to actually be a practicing lawyer... not a lawyer drinking lattes at 2pm on Thursdays in a Starbucks (that would come later lol). ​ Just weeks after taking my last sip of that iced vanilla latte, I got a job at a fancy pants law firm (for 1/4 of the pay I'd have made a year earlier 🙄), living out my "dream" of looking like a child wearing her mom's suit. ​ I was there about ten minutes before I realized: Dang it. Ryan was right. I should have enjoyed my time. ​ The other day, a subscriber wrote and asked, "What do we do during slow seasons besides freak the F out?" ​ That post-law school freak out was an unintentional slow season — and I have compassion for why I couldn't "just enjoy it." Now that I've built a business that makes sales every day, I can slow down on purpose. ​ If you're not as busy as you'd like right now, here's what I'd focus on — because slow sales don't have to mean a slow business. (No freaking out required.) ​ 👗 DRESS REHEARSAL ​ Pretend I just emailed you: "! I'm ready to sign up. Can we start today?" Are you ready? Systems set up? Onboarding ready? ​ 🎤 VOICE OF CUSTOMER RESEARCH ​ It's like Rosetta Stone: your niche edition. Learn exactly how your ideal people talk about their problem. What are they feeling? How would they describe it? How's it showing up in their lives? What's it costing them (literally and figuratively)? ​ You're going to use this ^ to do this ⬇️ ​ 📝 INTENTIONAL CONTENT PLAN ​ A slow season is your invite to create content that speaks directly to your ideal customer. ​ Start small: 1 Instagram or Substack post + 1 newsletter per week. Point each post → your newsletter so you grow your list. That's your first flywheel. ​ Add 1-2 podcast or YouTube episodes a month, if you're that far along. ​ Make each one a "cornerstone" piece — a FAQ, a common problem (straight from your VOC research!), or a key piece of your program or freebie. ​ 🧰 BASICS ​ And if you need cash this week, not this quarter — go back to basics: * follow up with warm leads * ask customers if they're ready to renew (at a "renew now" discount — yay cash flow!) * offer a smaller version of your service to bank experience or a testimonial * try in-person marketing for your online business — such an underused tactic (I write about it in my book, $16 here! ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/5qumr5dwwrh7hn6n4gna6h9rmp6vefnh470x/dphehmuel4peoghluw/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbXpuLnRvLzQ1akRuTlc= )) ​ ⚡ RECHARGE ​ Now, this might make you want to slap me. I get it — I was right there with you. But hear me out. ​ You can work on everything above... and spend the rest of the time taking care of yourself. ​ If you love roller coasters as much as I do, you know the fun is in that slow crawl to the top — right before you speed up and plunge back down. ​ If you're in that slow climb right now, take care of yourself. Because when you're inevitably flying downhill a few months from now, you'll be so glad you banked the energy. ​ So ! Hit "reply" and let me know if this email was helpful today.

​ ​ ************************** That Time I Wanted to Quit ************************** ​ A few weeks ago, I was ready to quit. ​ Maybe I wouldn't have gone through with it -- I think I would have had more than a few people talk me out of it if I did -- but I certainly felt like shutting down my business, popping open a Grapefruit Spindrift, and saying, "that was a good run," as I kicked back on the beach. ​ 😵‍💫 It was just one of those weeks. ​ I had a bunch of really rude, entitled people in my inbox demanding things they don't deserve (and would never demand from Target if they bought a blanket from them three years ago they've been using the entire time.) ​ Yet another anti-Semitic comment on Instagram telling me to kill myself, because the world would be better without the Jews. You want to live in a world without bagels and pastrami on rye?! Good luck! ​ I don't have these weeks often. ​ But I tell you about my big launches and fancy masterminds and cool behind-the-scenes conferences I get to go to... ​ And I'm not about to share the wins without sharing this side of owning your own business, too. ​ You know how people always say, "marriage is hard"? ​ I like to put it differently: there are parts of marriage -- and especially seasons -- that are hard. ​ In general, it's hard to cohabitate with someone. Merge lifestyles. Mutually agree on the "right" way to load a dishwasher. ​ Legally merging your lives together was basically guaranteed to feel hard sometimes. ​ I feel the same way about business. ​ It's not that "owning your own business is hard" -- that's a dangerous mindset to buy into because you'll see everything as hard instead of a challenge or opportunity worth tackling. ​ There are parts of owning your own business that are hard. ​ 💸 Offering refunds to rude customers who don't deserve it (because it's just easier for you not to have to deal with them lol). ​ 📈 Figuring out how the heck to calculate quarterly taxes when you don't know how much you're going to make. ​ 🙏 Believing in yourself and what you're building... before you have the bank account or audience to back it up. ​ I'm not sharing any of this to discourage you -- right now you might just want another customer. You might not even care if they're rude, as long as they pay their bill 😆 ​ I'm just here, one friend to another, saying this is normal. ​ Bad weeks feel like they're the end of the world... and then things even out. ​ You remember why you're doing this. You remember it's supposed to be hard (sometimes.) ​ If you've had one of those weeks lately, I'm cheering you on. ​ Let it be a bad week. Stop trying to make it a good one and just embrace it's one of those. ​ Talk to a friend (my inbox is always open). Take a walk. Do something offline. Try something you're bad at (like tennis!) and remember what it's like to be a beginner again. It's humbling. ​ It's funny to be writing this to you today, as I sit on my patio in Colorado Springs, CO overlooking these orange mountains, ready for Day 1 of one of the highlights of my business life right now: the mastermind I'm in. where I wrote you this email from [Colorado Springs, CO] ​ It's full of the most of amazing people I'm lucky to call friends, but who feel like work family. ​ There's no guru leading it. No lectures. Just connection in nature and a lot of, "yeah, me too." ​ These are the weeks that restore me. I love my business, even if I don't love it all the time. I love the people I've met. The customers I've helped. The work I get to do. I am so full and so grateful. I can't believe I wanted to quit! ​ I'd love to hear from you, .

I need you to go on a little trip back in time with me, . It's the summer of 2018. My legal templates business has been up and running for over a year and I'm heading into my first full summer of running my own business. I just started this program called the Ultimate Bundle®️ (but there was no ®️ back then lol) and I'm so worried no one's going to buy it (or that so many people will buy it, I won't be able to handle the volume.) I'm making anywhere from $5-8k/month in my business right now selling individual contracts and 2-3 Bundles/mo, and although my expenses are low, I know I can't live off of this forever once you account for taxes, expenses, savings, and self-pay. It might sound crazy, but I actually want to take some time off. I've spent the last two years since I left the law hustling my tuchus off. My dad's suddenly lost a lot of weight. I notice bad bruises on his arm. I ask him to go to the doctor, because I'm worried he has leukemia. He says no. Says I'm nuts. Even if I'm just being a crazy, overprotective daughter, I want to spend more time with him this summer. "Isn't that the point of having your own business?" I thought. "That's why I walked away from my 'safe' job as a lawyer." But I still need to make money. I'm relatively newly married and we bought our first house. I have expensive taste in coffee. So in order to take time off in my new-ish business, with no team behind me, here's what I focus on (so I can still bring in cash):​ ​ ​1 | MY EMAIL LIST 📮 I focus on my 929 email subscribers that summer instead of trying to reach any of my 1,012 Instagram followers. I keep in mind that I don't need thousands or millions of people to purchase my product -- even a handful would make a meaningful difference. I focus on writing really "good" emails (good = of value, about them, addressing their needs). I include links to purchase my product, which they can get from me anytime, whether I'm working or not. 2 | OOO MESSAGE WITH FAQ Since I have no one on my "team" yet (and can't imagine ever being in a position to be able to hire), I setup an out of office email autoresponder with answers to FAQs. I link directly to the product, blog post (it was 2018!), or page they need. I make several sales just from this strategy alone... and realize maybe I don't need to spend so much time on sales calls. 3 | NURTURE WHAT YOU HAVE I pour more into my current customers and contacts than trying to find new ones. I send an email to customers asking if they have any referrals. I send DMs to business coaches asking if they will share about my legal templates. I see if current customers need anything else from me. I generate $10k over the summer using this ^ strategy. 4 | INTENTIONAL CONTENT I pre-write and plan content for July and August. Every single piece of content I write has one clear call-to-action: either a link to my product(s) directly, or to join my email list. Once they join my list, I email them about my product anyway. I've accidentally created my first flywheel. It's around 2:30pm on Thursday, August 16, 2018. I'm getting ready to go "back to the office" for September. I take a sales call with a former Coke exec in Atlanta looking to start her own health coaching business. My dad keeps calling me. I keep sending it to voicemail. He keeps calling. I rush off the sales call, panicked something's wrong but also worried he's just calling to tell me Costco's got my favorite spinach dip on sale. "I have to go to the hospital," he says. I rush him there. Doctors poke and prod and test. We wait, sharing a bag of Utz from the ER vending machine. The Doogie Howser-aged doctor struts in. "Mr. Foss," he says with no emotion in his voice and a blank stare in his eyes, "When's the last time you've been to the doctor?Because you have a blood malignancy." There's this brief moment in time where only I know that a "blood malignancy" means my dad has cancer because my mom went to med school when I was a baby and treated me like her study buddy. He doesn't know. My world literally and figuratively tunnels into a pin-sized black hole of nothingness. I run out of the ER room and collapse in the hallway, making sounds I'd only heard from animals at the Philadelphia Zoo. Thank god I took this summer off, I think as I pound the dirty hospital floor. Thank god I created this business and actually enjoyed the benefits of it, I think as someone offers me a chair. What the hell am I going to do? I worry as someone I don't know rubs my back. I had no idea just how much I was about to learn about growing a business on such little time (and sleep). I had no idea I'd build my business to be a multi-7-figure one the year he was diagnosed with cancer. I had no idea... I had no idea... But I did it ❤️ ~~~~~~~~~ So I'm not delusional, . I know it's not 2018. But as I take the next few weeks off of most of my work (but not this newsletter, my Substack, or taking care of my customers!), I thought it would be more helpful for you to hear what I did to take time off before I had 1 full-time and 2 part-time people working for me. Before I could afford ads. Before everyone said, "must be nice." If you want to hear more about: * how I prep to take time off, go on vacation, etc. * what to focus on and what to drop * and how to still make money when you're OOO... ​Listen to this week's episode of my podcast, On Your Terms®️→ ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/e5u7qodwwqu7hl86k64c8h85483zptlh2kgz/8ghqh3uo6d5wkdsluw/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9ob3ctdG8tdGFrZS1hLWJyZWFrLWFzLWEtYnVzaW5lc3Mtb3duZXIv )​ I even shared about how I took the entire month of May off without telling a soul... and made multi-6-figures in the biz ;) Since this was such a different type of email from me...

​ ​ ************************************* Behind the Scenes at Craft + Commerce ************************************* ​ I stepped out onto my balcony overlooking Boise's state capitol to take a deep inhale, exhale. It was something between "holy sh*t I can't believe I get to do this stuff," and "I need to breathe before I meet one more new person." ​ I'd just hung out with James Clear (who was delightful, by the way). Walked into a room full of 50+ entrepreneurs I admire (but didn't all know). Did a photoshoot for Kit. Got chosen by my mastermind tablemates to share my best recent strategy in a room full of my business idols... ​ And it was only the day before Craft + Commerce actually started. ​ In 2019, I went to Craft + Commerce alone. ​ I didn't know anyone and definitely nobody knew me. I remember finding out about the private mastermind they held (that I didn't get invited to) and being like, "I'm really bummed I didn't get invited... but one day I'm going to." No one told me about any happy hours, I definitely didn't get to go to the speaker dinner... my online business life couldn't have looked any more different. ​ I'd sort of ignored the whole "networking thing" considering I was coming off of brain surgery and taking care of my newly terminally diagnosed dad, Norm. I went on to have my first 7-figure year that year. ​ A lot has changed since 2019. My business kept growing. My parents both died. I started a podcast. I came out with my first book. And then last year, I spoke at Craft + Commerce. Honestly, between that and my book, everything changed. ​ Walking into Craft + Commerce in 2026 couldn't have been any different than 2019. Now, managing my energy has more to do with overwhelm from talking to so many people (and losing my voice thanks to said yapping) instead of overwhelm of walking into a room full of people I don't know. ​ This year was the first time I had to manage my energy much differently. I ducked back to my room (and onto that beautiful balcony) to a take a beat before someone asked me another question. I skipped some of the (super valuable) sessions to grab coffee 1:1 with a friend instead. I had dinner one night with my team and my friends, Chelsea and Chenell, instead of attending yet another big function. ​ Giving myself a moment to breathe gave me the spaciousness to come up with a fun idea on the fly. "Why don't I try to grab creators I love off the street for quick interviews? And then I can include them in my Craft + Commerce recap episode!" I told my podcast producer, Michelle. ​ I sent Michelle to the sessions I wanted to get notes on, and I stood outside the venue to conduct what we started to call my "Sammy on the Street" interviews. (You can hear them all in this Craft + Commerce recap episode!! ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/e5u7qodwwqu7hl8kxlxb8h85pgdp2tlh2kgz/58hvh8ugdknk44s7up/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9jcmFmdC1jb21tZXJjZS0yMDI2LXRha2Vhd2F5cy8= )) ​ Want to hear everything I learned, my biggest takeaways, what I'm doing / not doing anymore after talking to some of the biggest names in the industry? ​ 🎧 Listen to this week's episode of my podcast, On Your Terms®️, where I shared a behind the scenes recap of Craft + Commerce→ ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/e5u7qodwwqu7hl8kxlxb8h85pgdp2tlh2kgz/58hvh8ugdknk44s7up/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9jcmFmdC1jb21tZXJjZS0yMDI2LXRha2Vhd2F5cy8= )​ ​ Hit "reply" and let me know how you liked the recap episode + below photo diary! Until you get a chance to listen to the full breakdown -- here's what life was like behind the scenes in Boise! ​ ✈️ DAY 0: Drive 2 hours from eastern Long Island to JFK, fly to Boise, check-in to my hotel, and go to dinner with Liz Wilcox, Pat Flynn, Matt Gartland, Steve Kamb, Shawn Blanc, Barrett Brooks, Jay Papasan, and friends. ​ 📸 DAY 1: MASTERMIND + PHOTOSHOOT -------------------------------- The day before the conference started, I got to attend Kit's private Mastermind with a handful of creators and JAMES CLEAR. How in the world?! So much of what I shared in this recap episode ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/e5u7qodwwqu7hl8kxlxb8h85pgdp2tlh2kgz/58hvh8ugdknk44s7up/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9jcmFmdC1jb21tZXJjZS0yMDI2LXRha2Vhd2F5cy8= ) was what I took away from James' mind-blowing talk. ​ Kit's marketing team also asked me to do a photoshoot with a few other amazing creators. I was so honored to take part in it! L to R clockwise: yes, that's me and James Clear 🤯. Kit photoshoot with creators Jordan Gill, Simon Alexander Ong, Pat Flynn, Gannon Meyer, and me. Ready for a day out in Boise. Me with Barrett Brooks, Nathan Barry (Founder of Kit), and Chelsea Hahn-Vanourney (Operations for Nathan/Kit). ​ 🎙️ DAY 2: CONFERENCE DAY, HAPPY HOUR + SPEAKER DINNER ----------------------------------------------------- Thursday was a full day of conference talks and workshops. I felt so much less pressure this year to attend everything. I spent more time having 1:1 convo's with people I know or who I wanted to get to know better, rather than attending every single thing. ​ In between sessions, I grabbed people I admire off the street and asked them about what they learned so far at Craft + Commerce, why they come back each year, and what's going on in their business. I sprinkled these on-the-street chats into this week's Craft + Commerce recap episode! ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/e5u7qodwwqu7hl8kxlxb8h85pgdp2tlh2kgz/58hvh8ugdknk44s7up/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9jcmFmdC1jb21tZXJjZS0yMDI2LXRha2Vhd2F5cy8= )​ ​ Afterwards, I headed off to my friends' Shawn Blanc and Barrett Brooks' happy hour and then to Kit's speaker dinner. L to R clockwise: at the Kit speaker dinner with my friends Chenell Basilio and Chelsea Hahn-Vanourney. Got to chat with my friend, Jay Clouse, again IRL. With my Aspen mastermind friends after two of our masterminders (Jay + Barrett) gave incredible talks. Chatting with James Clear and my friend, Ellen Yin, at the speaker dinner. ​ 🎤 DAY 3: CONFERENCE DAY, HAPPY HOUR, PODCAST + CLOSING PARTY ------------------------------------------------------------ The last full day of the conference was so full. I watched the incredible talks on the main stage, which always leaves me feeling so inspired and wanting to run to my laptop to implement everything I've learned. ​ After the conference, I went to my friend Jay Papasan and Chenell Basilio's Happy Hour, recorded a podcast with Beth Nydick, Tarzan Kay, and Courtney Spritzer, and then headed off to Kit's closing party to dance the night away. ​ I brought Lindsey and Michelle from my team with me to Boise. It was so much fun to get to hang with them and introduce them to all of the people I love in this business. It was also the first time I went to C+C where I could send them to a workshop so I could go and do something I needed to do. It was like having 3 of me there! :) ​ L to R clockwise: me, Lindsey, and Michelle from my team! Taking a moment to breathe on my balcony. Me with Simon Alexander Ong, who was so sweet! Tarzan, Beth, Courtney, and me after recording for Beth's podcast. ​ 🎤 DAYS 4-5: ASPEN BUDDIES, R+R, TRAVEL HOME ------------------------------------------- After so many days of outward energy, I was ready for a bit of time to come down. I like staying in Boise one extra day (most conference goers do now!) to catch up with people I didn't get to see during all the craziness. ​ I spent the day on Saturday with a bunch of my mastermind friends eating, shopping, going to see a movie (Disclosure Day), and getting dinner. It was the perfect wind down -- especially since I'd lost my voice by this point. ​ On Sunday, I went to one of my favorite Boise coffee spots (Form + Function), jotted down all of my notes for my recap episode ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/e5u7qodwwqu7hl8kxlxb8h85pgdp2tlh2kgz/58hvh8ugdknk44s7up/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9jcmFmdC1jb21tZXJjZS0yMDI2LXRha2Vhd2F5cy8= ) so I wouldn't forget, and ran into a few friends who also hadn't left yet. ​ Before I knew it, it was time to head to the airport, fly back to New York City, and drive two hours home to Long Island. ​ Did someone forward you this newsletter?

Either way, you're not here because you don't care — you're here because you do. ​ But there's one piece that keeps getting pushed to the back of the queue. ​ Not because you're avoiding it. ​ Just because starting your business doesn’t feel as urgent as putting out whatever fire came with your 9-5 today. Or piling your kid into the car before t-ball practice enforced their “no more than 10 mins late” policy. The legal stuff sits there. And it sits. And it sits. ​ Until the moment it doesn't. ​ Someone sends you a client. You could really use the extra income, and hey, maybe this is the real start your business needs! So you're patching a contract together at 11 pm. ​ Someone who does what you do online gets hit with an ADA lawsuit. You check your own website that’s in draft mode. You realize you're not covered either. ​ You get brave enough to start promoting your email list. Just a little. Then someone files a privacy takedown request. You have no documented process for handling it. ​ Someone steals your content word-for-word. You have no idea what step to take first. ​ These moments come for a lot of people eventually. ​ The Bundle means they don't have to catch you off guard. ​ ​"As soon as I bought it — even though I haven't implemented all of it — I felt ready. The relief of knowing I had the answers freed up a lot of confidence." — Bundle member. That's the thing about having the net in place. You don't have to have done everything. You just have to know it's there. ​ The Bundle is $800 off until tonight (Friday, June 26), the steepest financial discount you’ll see. ​ It's the step-by-step legal foundation for your online business — built by an attorney who's been where you are, for the world you're actually operating in right now. ​ ​I want the safety net!

That annoying awareness of knowing you're building something… knowing it deserves to be protected… but not being completely sure you've done that yet. ​ I hear it constantly. ​ In slightly different words, but always the same feeling: "I was always worried — am I doing this right? Is this allowed?" — UB member ​ ​"Fear is a component. I was just afraid. What do I not know about that's gonna get me into trouble down the line?" — UB member ​ ​"I wanted to make sure I own my stuff. I wanted to make sure my stuff is protected."— UB member ​ ​"It never felt right. It never sat with me. I wasn't working on my website, wasn't pushing as hard — because of this." — UB member ​ , I'd bet you recognize at least one of those. ​ Here's what I want you to know: ​ That feeling isn't a permanent feature of being a business owner. It's the feeling you have before you have a solid legal foundation to stand on. ​ After? Here's what Ultimate Bundle®️ (UB) members say: ​ ​"I felt super confident.

Done in 20 minutes. Zero panic. ​ 👉A copycat steals your content word-for-word — ​ so you send them a cease-and-desist letter (a bonus you get when you join the Bundle today) and press go on your takedown steps. ​ 👉 Your client's payment is 10 days overdue — ​ so you fire up the late payment training inside the Bundle that has all the right words… so you don't accidentally undo your contract. And the client pays up within 24 hours. ​ 👉 Someone threatens to sue you — ​ and you don't flinch because you've got exact steps for how to handle it inside the Ultimate Bundle®. You also have my team and I to hold space for your panic inside the FB group. ​ And the indecisiveness you're facing right now, , ​ it's nothing compared to that moment in September when you realize that — while others are still Googling "do I need an LLC" — ​ you spent the summer actually setting your business up correctly. You're not scrambling to catch up.

We did it. ​ I've been thinking about you a lot since June, actually. Specifically about the decision you made — the one that, looking back, wasn't even that complicated. You just had to actually, well, make it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ ​ I remember where you were... Sitting somewhere — maybe your couch, maybe your deck — with that pesky background noise, buzzing like a mosquito you couldn’t swat, no matter how many citronella candles you set out. The buzzing whispered: I can’t start a business until I figure out how to do it legally. Not in a panicked way. More like a hum you couldn't quite ignore. ​ Well, my friend, you did it! ​ You spent a few hours here and there over the summer, going through the Bundle. You felt so much better traipsing to that beach weekend the family had planned, knowing you had your website policies all set up. ​ You know, the ones that now mean you're not in the group of business owners scrambling to respond to ADA compliance notices. ​ You filled in your client contract using the video walkthrough, which honestly took about fifteen minutes. You watched the "How to Start A Business" series and finally understood the difference between a sole prop and an LLC before the first firework on July 4th burst into the sky. ​ By the end of July, you were done with the stuff you'd been putting off for over a year. ​ By August, a potential client reached out. You sent them a contract without second-guessing whether you were protected. They signed it. You got paid. ​ Now it's September and that background noise is just... gone. Now you’ve got savings to invest into that social media agency that’s actually helping new personal brands grow. Onto the fun stuff. :) Like money. And clients. ​ One of your fellow Bundle members said: ​ ​“the Ultimate Bundle® saved me so much time and has given me clear direction and parameters to work within. Absolutely worth the investment.” - India​ ​ That's all it is. That's what I wanted for you. ​ You made a good call. — Sam — ​ That letter only exists if you make one decision today. ;) ​ The Ultimate Bundle® birthday sale ends tomorrow night (Friday, June 26). ​ Get $800 off when you pay-in-full.

The 10 core contracts are the tip of the iceberg. You're also getting the 10 template walkthrough videos, where I walk you through how to fill out each contract in 15 mins or less (don't worry: you're just putting in your personal info, like name and prices). ​ You're also getting the brand new "How to Start a Business" video series. This brings you from no business to one that's fully formed and ready to go in 10 short steps. ​ You're also getting my training series on legal pitfalls — what to do if someone threatens to sue you, if a copycat steals your content, if a client doesn't pay, if someone demands a refund. ​ You're also getting the "Navigating Your Business" series: how to stay GDPR compliant, how to review contracts people send YOU, how to protect your privacy online, and more. ​ Plus access to our members-only community so you can ask my team and me questions M-F. ​ Basically, the Bundle is all the legal documents your online business needs — both now and down the road — plus a complete education in starting and running an online business the right way. ​ ​Sweet. Full knowledge on running an online business is just what I'm looking for. Sign me up! ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/zlu5dpw22dbnhkq7xgebphwl7gdxvs6hx623/48h8ondpb7umd2g768cqu2/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9iaXJ0aGRheS1zYWxlLWNjLw== )​ 💬 Will the Bundle teach me how to start an online business from scratch? ​ ​Yes! ​ Once you're in, jump directly to section 1. You'll see the 10-part video series. Start with Step One — what you need to do before registering your business — and follow the steps all the way through to protecting your content. ​ If all you do is watch that video series, you'll walk away with a fully formed business that's ready to take payments, post content, and sell online. ​ ​What?! Sam walks me through how to start AND set up my online business in 10 steps? Count me in. ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/zlu5dpw22dbnhkq7xgebphwl7gdxvs6hx623/48h8ondpb7umd2g768cqu2/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9iaXJ0aGRheS1zYWxlLWNjLw== )​ ​ ​💬 I'm not starting my business for another 6-12 months. Isn't it too soon?​ ​ Grab it now, regardless of when you're getting started, because: ​ 1. You get lifetime-of-the-program access at the lowest price you'll see. The Bundle is updated in real time, so you'll always have the most up-to-date version when you're ready to launch. ​ 2. It's never too soon to have A-Z info on how to start an online business legally. You can use the Bundle to start right -- so you're not retracing your steps. You'll be ready if a client is randomly referred to you before you're "ready" (happens all the time!). 3. The Bundle counts as a business expense whether you start your business in July, December, or even April 2027. ​ Plus, how cool would it feel using the downtime you have this summer to get things set up? ​ ​Ooo yeah. I'll lock in the Bundle while it's $800 off even if that means I don't start my biz for another year. ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/zlu5dpw22dbnhkq7xgebphwl7gdxvs6hx623/48h8ondpb7umd2g768cqu2/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9iaXJ0aGRheS1zYWxlLWNjLw== )​ ​ ​💬 If I buy now, can I count it as a tax write-off — even if I haven't officially started my business yet?​ ​ Yep! ​ You can buy the Bundle now and count it as a business expense later — even if you don't have a business credit card or business bank account. Buy with your personal card, learn how to set all that stuff up inside the Bundle, then write it off retroactively. ​ Just keep your receipt & submit it to your accountant! Alrighty, , if your Q wasn't answered above, hit "reply" — I'll get back to you ASAP. ​ Or if you'd rather get a personal response via video, I set up a VideoAsk for exactly that.

Grow your email list. Create a signature offer. Launch a course. Run ads. Write copy that converts. ​ And look — all of that’s important. ​ But there's something almost nobody talks about. ​ The legal foundation. ​ You know… the stuff that protects you when something goes wrong. And makes sure you actually own what you've built. ​ ​Right now, that gap is costing people in ways that are hard to come back from.​ ​ Here's what's actually happening in the online business world right now: ​ ADA compliance lawsuits are hitting small business owners by the 1,000s. ​ Not warnings. Not cease-and-desists. Actual lawsuits showing up in people's mailboxes. Attorneys are scanning websites, finding ones without a proper accessibility statement or tools — then going after whoever looks easiest to pressure into a settlement. People are paying $10,000 just to make it go away, even when there's no legitimate case against them. (I give you what you need in the Bundle!) ​ Privacy takedown requests are landing in business owners' inboxes. This literally happened to me last year! 🙋🏻‍♀️ ​ Strangers opting into your list, then requesting their personal data (aka, the email address they just voluntarily gave you) be deleted. Really, they’re just testing you. Aka if you don't execute quickly enough (and in the right way), they know they can take advantage and sue. (I give you what you need in the Bundle!) ​ AI disclosure requirements are increasing. (Included in the Bundle!) ​ The law is catching up. A lot of platforms and states are requiring them. And though there’s nothing that outright says online businesses like ours need them legally (yet), I’d bet it’s coming soon. Plus, I highly recommend having one to proactively cover your tuchus cuz these days, ya never know. ​ ​And content theft, copyright claims — none of this is slowing down. Especially with AI, UGH. ​ ​I mean… Taylor Swift literally filed to trademark her own voice this year.👏 That’s not even trademark-able right now. But Taylor is FORCING the courts to catch up. That’s how crazy the online world is getting… and how quickly the law is changing to adapt. ​ Here's the part that gets me: ​ Not a single online course teaches you to anticipate all this. ​ ​That's the gap I built the Ultimate Bundle® to fill.​ ​ The revamped version has everything you need to handle all of it — including the brand new ADA Statement template, the Data Removal SOP, the AI Disclosure, the Cease and Desist Letter, and the step-by-step "How to Start A Business" series that takes you from zero to legally set up in 10 short videos. ​ Plus all 10 core legal contracts and website policies and their video walkthroughs. ​ The Bundle is $800 off until Friday, June 26.

They’ve been meaning to since May, honestly. They’re Googling "do I need an LLC" for the fourteenth time. They’re in a Claude rabbit hole on website privacy policies. ​ They’re behind where they wanted to be. ​ Not their fault. It's just that every week, something new comes up they were apparently supposed to know about and didn't. The to-do list never gets shorter. ​ ​Version B:​ ​ They spent June and July getting their business set up correctly. Not obsessing — just handling it, step by step, with actual legal documents drafted by an attorney who specializes in this exact thing. ​ Their website policies are up. Their contract is ready to be signed by that first client. They understand the difference between a sole prop and an LLC. They made an informed choice about which one was right for them. They dealt with the ADA compliance stuff that's been sending lawsuits to people's mailboxes. They know what to do if someone steals their content. ​ When September hits with that fresh-start energy, they’re not scrambling. They already have a bunch of stuff (if not all of it) done. ​ And they have something that's hard to put a dollar value on — the peace of mind that comes from knowing they’ve set their biz up correctly. ​ One Bundle member put it like this: "As soon as I bought it — even though I haven't implemented all of it — I felt ready." That's Version B. , you have the whole summer ahead of you. ​ The revamped Ultimate Bundle® is the step-by-step system for getting there — from scratch, even if you have zero legal knowledge right now. It gives you the contracts and policies you need to legally protect yourself -- plus the trainings and community support to start your online business the right way. ​ $800 off until Friday. $197/month on the payment plan. ​ ​These fast action bonuses disappear TONIGHT night @ 11:12 PM ET: * Speaker Contract ($347 value) * Retreat Contract ($398 value) * Podcast Guest Contract ($347 value) * Non-Disclosure Agreement / NDA ($399 value) * Copy of my book, When I Start My Business, I’ll Be Happy ($30 value) ​I want to be Version B→ grab the Bundle & get the fast action bonuses before they expire tonight!

After you exit this email, you should be firing up Zoom for your next client session. ​ You should be flipping open PayPal to see new course sales. ​ You should be spending the rest of the day creating content, building your list, working with clients, doing the fun stuff. ​ And this way-too-long research period is stealing that from you. ​ It wrongly convinced you that your online business will happen "someday soon." ​ And that's totally unfair. ​ Here's my honest take, : ​ The people who look back in September feeling like they finally got their sh*t together? They're the ones who spent the summer actually setting things up. ​ Not researching. Not meaning to. Actually setting them up. ​ ​Getting the LLC. The EIN. The contracts. The website policies. The business insurance. All the stuff that unlocks the confidence to say: oh my gosh, I'm really doing this. And I'm doing it right! Squeee!​ ​ If you want to put an end to the research phase TODAY, the Ultimate Bundle® will help you do that — and it's on sale for $800 off right now. ​ So grab it at the steepest financial discount we ever offer because… ​ The Ultimate Bundle® will teach you how to start an online business. Step by step. From scratch. And then give you the contracts you need to protect yourself. 👏 ​ There's a literal section called "How to Start A Business." It comes with 10 super short videos. Once you've been through all 10, you'll have a completely formed, legally protected business. ​ Yep. In a matter of days, you could go from "idea for making a living online" to a "legally set-up business" that helps you do that. ​ If paying $197 per month for 12 months is worth… ​ … ending those moments where you consult AI, then spend three more hours doubting whether the answer is even right ​ … bypassing $500/hr lawyers ​ … getting your business actually off the ground this summer — so September hits and you're already in motion, not starting over cuz you set something up wrong -->ACCESS THE $197 PAYMENT PLAN (save $624) ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/e5u7qodwwqu7hl8pd5kt8h85ll6ggflh2kgz/l2h4gvwva6ulmz5o76agul/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9iaXJ0aGRheS1zYWxlLw== ) ACCESS THE $197 PAYMENT PLAN (save $624) ( https://www.samvanderwielen.com/birthday-sale/ )-->OR PAY IN FULL (save $800) ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/e5u7qodwwqu7hl8pd5kt8h85ll6ggflh2kgz/l2h4gvwva6ulmz5o76agul/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9iaXJ0aGRheS1zYWxlLw== ) OR PAY IN FULL (save $800) ( https://www.samvanderwielen.com/birthday-sale/ )Would love if you were sending me a message like this next: ​ ​“Sam, my signature course is coming out this week, and I have really appreciated your content on this journey.” - Allyssa P.S.

Tomorrow, dozens of new business owners will scramble to join the Ultimate Bundle®️ for $800 off… ​ motivated by the excitement that comes with starting their businesses alongside me, ​ an online business owner ✓ who is also a lawyer ✓ ​ who ALSO worked a stint as an online health coach so is doubly intimate with those scope of practice issues you’re nervous about. 😅 And get this? ​ For however long the Bundle exists, these new members will have ongoing access to the updated contract templates and trainings inside the Bundle. So. Will I see you inside the Ultimate Bundle®️ this week, ? ​ Here’s why I hope that’s a resounding “yes”: ​ ​1. The mere act of joining something like the Bundle is often motivation alone to actually start your business. ​ ​ So if you’ve been feeling like you’ve had this business idea foreverrrr and you should be further ahead than you currently are, ​ the Bundle will help you start… for real. ​ ​2. The moment you decide you want to start an online business is the same moment you need business insurance, a business entity, and a plethora of legal documents. ​ ​ All stuff you learn how to set up in a jiffy inside the Bundle. ​ ​3. You’ll be free of the “I don’t have the capital to buy something business related” excuse. I get it. ​ You’re financially responsible. You probably want to make money in your business before feeling justified investing in something like the Bundle. ​ Right? ​ But you’re kinda caught in a chicken before the egg situation, … ​ because making money first technically isn’t an option. You need to legitimize your business using something like the Bundle first. Plus, if you don't feel confident or safe enough to promote your offers or post content... your business won't make money anyway. ​ Hence why I’m getting you in for only $197 this month (if you want). ​ Yep, the next few days is one of the only times you’ll see our extra-low 12-payment plan. Small start-up cost compared to the conservative $10k - $20k it’d take for a lawyer to draft everything up from scratch… then fail to explain what any of it means. It’s easy to feel like you don’t have a clear enough vision of what your business will be right now, . ​ ​ But most people don’t. ​ Not on day 1 at least. ​ ​They just take the first plausible step: getting their foundations in order.​ ​ That way, when their first money-making opportunity presents itself — they can actually take it on. ​ I’m not super woo. ​ But there’s something to be said about acting as though you’re already 10 steps into the future. ​ It's like your body catches up to where your feet are headed. ​ You’ll get an email at 9AM ET tomorrow (Monday 6/22) with the special link to join the Ultimate Bundle®️ for $800 off. If you’ve been researching “how to start an online business” for a while, it’s time to join us. ​ 10 bucks your first sale is closer than you think. ;) ​ ​Got Qs? Drop me a VideoAsk here.

Exciting stuff is happening rn, and if you're not caught up — that's what this email is for. 😆 THE ULTIMATE BUNDLE® GOES ON SALE THIS MONDAY, JUNE 22ND.​ ​ $800 off pay-in-full. OR snag the 12-payment plan for $197/month. ​ Either way, you get tons of free bonuses. ​ ​THE SALE ENDS FRIDAY, JUNE 26TH.​ ​ Aka, it's all happening kinda fast. 😅 IF YOU'RE NOT SURE WHY THIS MATTERS RIGHT NOW — WATCH THIS ⤵️ ​The scary lawsuit-sounding email I got last year.​ ​ ​ ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/92ulr9gpprhnh6vendkh9hzq6w56kcwh9o0g/n2hohquv98kgrwf0u3/aHR0cDovL2luc3RhZ3JhbS5jb20vcC9EWTRvbUgtRldXaC8= )(Don’t comment CLASS on that Reel. I’m sending you a better deal when we put the Bundle on sale Monday, June 22). ​ And there's a reason we’re doing it, . One because it’s the Ultimate Bundle’s 8th b-day. 🎉 But more importantly… ​ ​The legal landscape for online business owners has shifted. And not in a great direction.​ ​ ​ADA compliance lawsuits are hitting small businesses' websites — including people who've barely even launched yet. ​ Privacy takedown requests are showing up from strangers demanding that their email addresses be removed. Business owners who don't execute the right legal steps (fast) could get screwed. Case in point, that scary lawsuit-sounding email I linked to above.👆 ​ AI cloning. Scope of practice accusations. "You gave me bad advice" situations. ​ And here's what gets me: ​ Most of it's completely preventable. Not by hiring a lawyer on retainer (rich people things 😂). But by having the right legal things in place from day one. ​ The revamped Ultimate Bundle® is the step-by-step system for doing exactly that — even if you have zero legal knowledge right now. ​ Got Qs before the Bundle goes on sale Monday? Since we don't have a live component this round, I set up a VideoAsk so you can send me a question by text, voice memo, or video — and I'll personally respond to as many as I can. 🙂 ​Send Sam a question on VideoAsk here.

On June 22nd, the Ultimate Bundle® drops by $800 for 5 days only. ​ And when you grab it, not only will you have everything you need to start a legitimate online business, but I’ll also hook you up with $3,000 worth of extra stuff (for free!). ​ Why? ​ ​Because the law is catching up to us.​ ​ Back in the day, the online space was the wild, wild west. Not a ton of rules. The law was kinda… figuring it out. ​ But these days — oof. ​ Our “little” online space is getting legally whipped-into-shape (as it should). ​ Right now, having a website policy, privacy policy and Ts & Cs aren’t enough. You also need… ​ ✅ a website accessibility statement on your site ✅ software installed to make your site user-friendly for people with visual, auditory or motor impairments (I can show you which one…) ✅ a protocol for removing someone’s data (their cc, email address, stuff like that…) ✅ plus AI disclosure statements so we all don't get cloned or have our voices stolen. More on why later… ​ Personally, I love that this is happening. Cuz it protects you more than anything. ​ So on June 22nd, when you grab the Ultimate Bundle® during our annual B-day sale 🎉, I’ll make sure you’re hooked up with what you need to be compliant. ​ You’ll also get these other must-haves: ✅ How to File a Copyright [VIDEO TRAINING] ✅ How to File a Trademark [VIDEO TRAINING] ✅ Website Accessibility (ADA) Statement [TEMPLATE] ✅ AI Disclosure [TEMPLATE] ✅ Cease and Desist Letter [TEMPLATE] ✅ Data Removal Process [SOP AND EMAIL TEMPLATE] And if you get the Bundle by Wednesday, June 24th at 11:12PM ET, you’ll score these extra bonuses too... ✓ Speaker Contract ($347 value) ✓ Retreat Contract ($398 value) ✓ Podcast Guest Contract ($347 value) ✓ Non-Disclosure Agreement / NDA ($399 value) ✓ A copy of my book: When I Start My Business, I'll Be Happy ($30 value) ​ So… if $800 off plus over $3,000 in resources you shouldn’t be doing business without sounds good, 🥳 Put a sale reminder in your calendar by clicking here ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/e5u7qodwwqu7hl3okxxc8h85vpewgilh2kgz/7qh7h2u97nxqmxf9u3/aHR0cDovL2V2dC50by9lc2dtaWRtbXc= )​ ​ If you ask me, summertime’s the perfect time to get all this stuff in place. I don't want to waste all that back-to-school energy setting up contracts and futzing with my website -- I want a PSL in hand while I'm growing my audience, taking on new clients, and focusing more on the stuff I love. 🥂 To hitting the ground running come Sept. ;) PS.

​ ​ ********************************************************* Waiting for My Old Self to Return (She Isn't Coming Back) ********************************************************* ​ Half of my closet is currently sitting on my bedroom floor -- all inside out and discombobulated from me trying everything on. ​ I got invited to this really cool party Kit's hosting tonight in New York City and let's just say... ​ 😬 There are some really incredible people going who I'm nervous to meet. ​ "You still get nervous going to these things?!" my friend asked me the other day. ​ "Every single time!" I replied. ​ "But you keep going?" she asked, a hint of judgment in her tone. ​ "Every single time!" I replied again. ​ It's never been easy for me to go to these types of parties, or speak on stages, or attend big conferences. I wasn't comfortable when I started my business, and things only got worse after losing both of my parents. ​ I don't think I've met anyone who says, "I love walking into a room full of powerful people I've never met! I don't doubt myself at all... I always think I belong!" ​ In fact, after my parents died, I'd decided I'd never go to a big gathering or conference until I felt "back to my old self." ​ I figured I'd wait to apply to speak at a conference until I felt better. ​ I decided I wouldn't join any masterminds until I felt like being social and being around people I didn't know again. ​ I wouldn't bother growing my business until I felt more "like myself" -- the old me that felt more relaxed, comfortable around strangers, and not so overstimulated by blaring Justin Bieber music and loud talkers. ​ I waited and waited, expecting to turn inside out like a Transformer back into my old self... ​ But it never happened. ​ Turns out, when you've been through something really big -- whether it's loss, divorce, having kids, illness, job change, etc. -- you're not really ever the "old you" again. ​ Because it turns out, there really was no normal... ​ There's just now. ​ So whether you're waiting to start your online business until you feel a certain way... ​ Or you're waiting to take photos for your business until you look a certain way (talking to myself here!!)... ​ Or you're just waiting because... well, you don't even know why. Maybe for things to feel normal or like they used to? ​ This is your gentle nudge to get back out there and try again. ​ There is no "normal" coming to save us. ​ We are not going back. ​ We deal with what we have, when we have it. ​ We have to try again. ​ That's exactly what my dear friend, Steve Kamb, wrote about in his new book, How to Try Again. ORDER IT HERE→ ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/xmu63e2gg3b6hpv7464t5h2exev9punhvz8l/7qh7h2u97d99wgc9/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdGV2ZWthbWIuY29tL2hvd3RvdHJ5YWdhaW4v )​ ​ In it, he's teaching us to give up more often, fail smarter, and learn the art of starting over. ​ Just a thing or two I know a little something about ;) ​ This is 100% not sponsored -- unless "sponsored by friendship" is a thing. ​ It's just a really good book that will help us all ditch our unrealistic expectations, fail more compassionately, and try again with humor, resilience, and openness. ​ I hope you read Steve's book ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/xmu63e2gg3b6hpv7464t5h2exev9punhvz8l/7qh7h2u97d99wgc9/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdGV2ZWthbWIuY29tL2hvd3RvdHJ5YWdhaW4v ) (I did and loved it!!) and let me know how you like it. ​ Hit "reply" and let me know if this email hit the spot -- and if you're going to check out his book! ​ PS.

​ ​ *************************************************** On Finding Your Fans (& actually listening to them) *************************************************** ​ I don't know about you, but I can be the meanest person to myself I know. ​ 🏆 If they had an Oscar for it, I'd win Best Director of Insults and Best Producer of Stories That Make You Sound Like an Awful Human Being. ​ A few months ago, an Ultimate Bundle®️ customer sent me a handwritten note. I love snail mail, btw!! My address is at the bottom if you want to be pen pals. ​ It was hard for me to take in what she wrote. That I'd changed her life, impacted her in ways I would never know, that my product allowed her to leave her job and help people like I helped her. ​ I tried to take it in. Not only that, someone had gone out of her way to send this to me -- in real, non-AI-generated handwriting, no less! -- but that she felt this way about my work. ​ It's funny how easy it is to look away from moments like these, but how hard it is to move on from comments telling me how ugly or stupid I am (thanks, negativity bias!). Have you seen the new Netflix doc, Marty, Life is Short, about Martin Short, one of my favorite comics and fellow grievers? ​ In it, they tell the story about Marty's 1986 film, Three Amigos. The film was considered a commercial flop. ​ But it had a 'small' yet mighty fanbase of people who loved it. I mean, really loved it. Like they would have written them handwritten notes and everything. Over time, it ended up becoming a cult classic. ​ In the doc, Marty recalls how fans approach him to tell him how much they loved Three Amigos. But he would wave them off saying, "but it was such a flop!" ​ All he could see was Hollywood's definition of success. ​ He couldn't soak in that to them, the people who really matter; he was a major success. So as I stood reading that very kind note from my customer, I tried to swat away all of the thoughts popping up like, "you're falling behind!" "you're not good enough!" "your Instagram should be growing more!" "your email list should be growing more!" "you didn't sell enough books!" that I hear so often in the dark. ​ I stood with a hand on my heart, appreciating the care and effort this person took to reach out. ​ How often do we feel this about someone, but don't take the time to tell them? I can think of fifty notes I should write right now. ​ Who cares if I don't have a New York Times bestselling book or a podcast heard by millions around the world yet?! ​ I've got my own una amiga. ​ I'd rather listen to her than the meany in my head, any day. ​ Can you relate, ? ​ Maybe you haven't hit Hollywood-levels of commercial success in your business yet. But I bet you have a few amigos who really love what you do. ​ Hit "reply" and tell me how this resonated. And if you're choosing to listen to your amigos today instead of the meanie in your head (or your DMs if you're lucky!), too. Did someone forward you this newsletter? Subscribe here.

​ ​ *********************************** We Have to Talk About Going Offline *********************************** ​ In order to grow your online business, you have to spend more time offline. ​ Hear me out. ​ We think if we just scroll a bit more, Claude-prompt a bit better, or rack up more courses faster, a time will come where we'll break through the Mario Bros-brick wall and find a golden key of success. ​ But I'm here to tell you: ​ That's all a lie. ​ Building your business takes time. ​ Not "just work 12 hours a day" time. You're already doing that. ​ Like putting a vanilla bean in vodka and letting it sit in your pantry until it becomes vanilla extract time. The kind that needs to build and marinate. ​ Your message will get better and more refined over time. You'll get referrals from customers. After working with enough people, you'll probably have an idea for the one-million-dollar offer I teach you how to build in my book. ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/n4urx4k77xhvhxp9o4pc6h64l00qntlh7dvo/qvh8h8ud5v7ggmfg/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9ib29r )​ ​ If you keep at it, success is going to happen. It might look differently than what you think right now. That might be a good thing. ​ But one of the biggest reasons people fail somewhere between the beginning and their vanilla extract ripening is because they burn out. ​ 🤳 Their fingers are stiff from all the doomscrolling. ​ 👀 They've spent more time watching what so-and-so is doing in her program that they forgot to build their own. ​ Business success isn't on the other side of consuming someone else's content. ​ It's about going out and doing things interesting enough to actually make your own. ​ Do you have hobbies outside your business, ? ​ What's your screen time like? ​ What's your go-to expressive outlet when you need to let off some steam? ​ Not only will the answers to those questions dictate how centered and calm you will be as a business owner, but... ​ Your answers to those questions will make your business ultimately more successful, too. ​ My newsletter last week ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/n4urx4k77xhvhxp9o4pc6h64l00qntlh7dvo/wnh2h6uqp45959fl/aHR0cHM6Ly9tYWlsaW5nLnNhbXZhbmRlcndpZWxlbi5jb20vcG9zdHMvaG93LWktc3BlbmQtbGVzcy10aW1lLW9uLXNvY2lhbC1idXQtZ3Jvdy1teS1idXNpbmVzcw== ) was about my frustrating tennis lesson, which I couldn't have written if I didn't play. ​ I write nearly every day to work out my worries, anxieties, and frustrations on the page so I don't take it out on my business. ​ My recent 8-week pottery class taught me more about dismantling my perfectionism than any IG carousel ever could. ​ I don't do these things for the content. ​ It's made me a calmer, more fun, and hopefully more interesting human... and it's just so happened to make me a better writer, creative, and entrepreneur, too. ​ I know you're busy, . You don't have to sign up for big classes or take private lessons or really do anything fancy to get offline more. ​ We don't have to go live off-grid somewhere in Vermont. Although it would be fun, and we could grow all of our own vegetables. ​ We "have to" be online for our jobs. But are we offline for our lives? ​ Spending more time online -- beyond what you truly need to grow your business -- is not the answer to growing your business. ​ I think the answer is actually much simpler. Much quieter. And with zero blue light (no glasses needed!). ​ It might be the thing that's missing in your life if joy feels like a distant cousin floating out to sea. ​ By the way -- do you want a second newsletter from me each week (on Wednesdays)?

​ ​ ************************* Maybe You Just Need Space ************************* ​ I'd only hit shanked about 11 balls before I wanted to throw my racquet over the fence and stomp off the court like an angry teenager who just got their phone taken away... new grip who dis It was last Thursday at my first tennis lesson of the season. We have a new pro at the club this year, and for some reason I felt so much pressure to "impress" him. ​ Honestly, I was also pressuring myself to be "as good" as I was before (read: not very good), despite not picking up my racquet all last season. ​ I took up tennis three years ago after my parents died as a way to distract myself decompress. ​ In those early grief days, I appreciated being on the other side of the court from the pro so I could hide the hot tears streaming down my beet-red face. ​ Every swing of the racquet felt like an opportunity to beat the sh*t out of cancer, grief, loss, disappointment, funerals, anger, headstones, writing obituaries, lawyers, etc. etc. ​ Sometimes I hit the ball so hard I scared myself. ​ My Serena-like screams (without the Serena-like swings) alone should have told me everything I needed to know about the anger below the surface that felt so big, I was afraid it would turn into an atomic bomb if let out. ​ But when it came time to re-up my lessons last summer, I was about as interested in playing as I am in watching paint dry. ​ I'd come to associate tennis with my grief. ​ So I took the summer off. I promoted my book, spoke at Kit's Craft + Commerce conference, and did dozens of podcast interviews. ​ But this spring as Long Island turned green and the cherry blossoms started blizzarding, I found myself pulling out my pleated white Lululemon tennis skirt and re-gripping my racquet. ​ 🎾 I was ready to get back out there. pre-lesson breakdown I knew playing tennis again would be hard. It was always hard. But what I didn't expect was to feel like a beginner... again. ​ When something doesn't feel easy, quickly, my instinct is to bolt. ​ I don't like that about myself, but it's true. ​ As the lesson went on, I shanked less and got back into the swing of it (literally 😂). ​ By the end of my lesson, I ditched some (old) bad habits and found my footing. I hit just as hard as I used to... just with hot sweat pouring down my face instead of tears. I persevered!! What's the point of me sharing this with you, ? ​ Sometimes in order to see improvement, we need to give things space to breathe. ​ We also need to be more patient with and kind to ourselves as we learn new things. ​ In an era where you can have a drone deliver a coffee to a park, or you can prompt AI to redecorate your living room, we're not exactly patient anymore. ​ I needed space between my "tennis era" and my grief so I didn't equate them with one another. ​ The same is true with social media. ​ I built a multi 7-figure online business on social media. I posted from my dad's hospital room, answered DMs while on hold with his insurance company, and used it as a pacifier in my darkest days. ​ It's no surprise that since my parents died, I've wanted to be offline more. I've seen what the end looks like (twice) and I don't want to look up one day and realized I missed my entire life watching someone else's. ​ Now, I show up differently on Instagram ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/o8un72drr7bqh6vo0erbvhqep9dl7aohr7e4/n2hohquv0llpvni0/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9zYW12YW5kZXJ3aWVsZW4v ). Yes, I have to be online a lot for my still-growing business... but I'm also figuring out how to spend more of my time offline (and on the court?), too. ​ No, this isn't just possible because of the size of my business or audience. ​ I talk all about how to show up on social less, but in a more impactful way in this week's episode of my podcast, On Your Terms®️. 🎧 LISTEN HERE→ ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/o8un72drr7bqh6vo0erbvhqep9dl7aohr7e4/08hwhgu2rpp52zbp/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9wdWxsaW5nLWJhY2stZnJvbS1zb2NpYWwtbWVkaWEtcGVyZm9ybWVkLWJldHRlci8= ) "I Pulled Back From Social Media. It Performed Better." ⚠️ Before you go, I have an important question for you, : ​ How are you feeling about being online, social media, your screen time? Do you want to spend more time offline (even though you have a business on it)? If so, what's getting in the way? ​ In other words, do you want to live more of an analog life without moving off-grid and still having your business online? ​ I want to write more about building a life offline in an online world -- I'm talking hobbies, community, freeing yourself from the algorithm to find your own likes/interests/preferences again... but I need to know: ​ Is that something you'd like to hear more about? ​ I feel like everyone talks about how to spend less time on your phone, logging off, etc... but not a lot of people talk about what to do once you log out. And you especially don't hear people talk about this who run multi 7-figure businesses online... ​ Hit "reply" and tell me if that's something you're even thinking about these days.

​ ​ ************************************ Why do we overcomplicate everything? ************************************ ​ After the ink dried on my book deal contract, I sat around waiting for trumpets to blare as someone arrived carrying an official document on a red-velvet pillow. ​ I thought writing my book was going to be more like some official kick-off party, when in reality... ​ I just had to start a Google doc. ​ I've been thinking about this whole "making things a lot harder than they need to be" thing lately. ​ I've been on a bit of an unintentional podcast interview tour and hosted book club for my book ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/27uqx7zggxcoh8ze24gt3hg93o8dqughq7km/kkhmh2unvvwlkwhk/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9ib29rLw== ). ​ When people talk to me about my business, my 6-figure monthly funnel, or my 4-day $500k launches, I can always tell there's a hint of something right beneath the surface of what they're actually asking me: ​ Can it really be that easy? ​ The truth is somewhere in between. ​ I work (and have worked for 10 years) really hard to build the business you see today. ​ I definitely downplay how much I work (unintentionally), but I also forget how much I can get done in a short amount of time. My friend Jen always tells me that my downtime is everyone else's full-time. ​ And... ​ My business is very (intentionally) simple. ​ I don't have a gigantic team (1 full-time employee, 1-hourly employee, 1 part-time contractor. All amazing.) ​ I don't have a business coach (but I do have an incredible mindset coach ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/27uqx7zggxcoh8ze24gt3hg93o8dqughq7km/3ohphdu3ggm7ekhp/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuamVubmlmZXJkaWF6LmNvbS8= )). ​ I didn't take anyone's course to rocket my way to success. ​ The full story (which I detail in my book ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/27uqx7zggxcoh8ze24gt3hg93o8dqughq7km/kkhmh2unvvwlkwhk/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9ib29rLw== )) is way more complicated than what I can explain here... ​ But here's the point I want you to take away today: ​ Stop trying to look for the complication in something that can be simple if you let it be. ​ I'd argue most people's businesses don't succeed or feel as "easy" as mine because they make it that way. ​ They go out searching for the complication instead of just letting things be simple. ​ Building a business is a test of temptation: are you going to keep your eyes on your own paper, or are you going to let them wander on the off chance you get something a little extra? ​ And that, , is what I think is truly the "key" to my success: ​ I'm known for one thing. I'm the legal person. The one creators and coaches go to when they need to get their legal ish in order. ​ I'm not a NYT best selling author (yet!). I don't have the biggest social following. ​ But because my business is so simple, it's easy for people to think of me when it's time to buy. ​ Honestly, we need to have a bigger chat about this-- ​ Which is why I recorded this podcast episode ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/27uqx7zggxcoh8ze24gt3hg93o8dqughq7km/8ghqh3uonndlr3fl/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS93aHktbm9ib2R5LXRoaW5rcy1vZi15b3Utd2hlbi1pdHMtdGltZS10by1idXkv ) today all about why no one thinks of you when it comes time to buy (so we can change that, STAT.) ​ You have to become known for your one thing. ​ To do that, you've got to stop making things complicated and take the simpler, less chaotic route. ​ ​This episode helps you do just that→ ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/27uqx7zggxcoh8ze24gt3hg93o8dqughq7km/8ghqh3uonndlr3fl/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS93aHktbm9ib2R5LXRoaW5rcy1vZi15b3Utd2hlbi1pdHMtdGltZS10by1idXkv )​ ​ 💬 Hit "reply" and let me know how this email resonated with you today.

No bueno. ​ But have no fear! Taylor Swift is here to save the day... ​ Taylor's pushing us into a new-era of AI lawsuits with her recent trademark filing to protect her voice and literal image. ​ Although sounds like Netflix's "ta-dummm" are currently protected under "sound marks" (a type of trademark not often utilized), a celebrity's spoken voice has not been tested or filed before (besides Matthew McConaughey also filed to protect his). ​ Taylor's music/lyrics are protected by copyright law, but it doesn't protect her actual voice saying/singing things that aren't in her songs. So if someone nabs her voice from a clip and uses it to create "new" content saying something she's never said before... technically speaking that's "OK" under current laws. ​ Although she's only filed to protect "Hey, it's Taylor," and "Hey, it's Taylor Swift," the idea is that she could go after anyone who uses her voice under trademark law's "confusingly similar" standard.

Brutal. ​ My personal month of hell is just a few days away. ​ Both of my parents died in May. ​ Two horrible phone calls that narrowed my vision down to the size of a speck of dust. Two panicked 4-hour drives from Long Island to Philly. The last text messages. The last I love you. Their last sips of air. ​ The last time they told me it'd be OK and I pretended like I believed them so they thought so, too. ​ Don't even get me started on Mother's Day. My dad died on it. Then my mom died right after. ​ I hate May. ​ As soon as April comes around, my grief starts to bloom almost in perfect unison with the buds on the trees. At least no one can tell if I'm crying from the pollen or my heartbreak. ​ But I also have a business... and a pretty full life. I have lots of household responsibilities, friends to see, hobbies to keep up with, and Huddy (my bernedoodle!) to smother. ​ I can't, and I never have been able to, just give up. ​ So while I might not have a little one crawling into my bed in the middle of the night to escape the monsters beneath their bed... ​ Or understand the woes of passing around daycare's virus du jour to the entire family like a sick game of hot potato... ​ I've done my time. 🫡 ​ I know what it's like for your business to feel like the least important thing in the world... but you need to pay the bills and plan for the future. ​ I know what it feels like to quietly want to be successful, have a big email list, make consistent revenue, get recognized for your work... but also feel like it's just not your time (yet). ​ Or when you feel like you need your business to take off, but you don't have time to build an entire freaking airplane. ​ That's exactly why I wrote my book, When I Start My Business, I'll Be Happy.

​ ​ ******************************************* When I Get My Dream House, I Won't Be Happy ******************************************* ​ I couldn't click on the listing fast enough. ​ It's not often your dream house goes on the market... ​ Right across the street from you. ​ To know me is to know how obsessed I am with my neighborhood. ​ There's no way I'm moving out of it. It's one of those places that if you're lucky enough to snag a house, you never leave. ​ So imagine how excited I was when this house popped up directly on the ocean with 180-degree waterfront views. ​ It has hundreds of feet of private beachfront. A boat dock. A pool!! ​ I pictured myself waking up in the morning, stepping out onto the patio to have my coffee. I'd wave to the boaters and the ferry as they sailed by. I'd make my way down the meandering steps to the ocean, where I'd slip in for a morning dip (not in a bikini, of course). I mean... c'mon. Long Island is so stunning. But as nice as the house was, I had to be honest with myself about why I even wanted it in the first place. And the story I was telling myself about what would change if, and only if, I got it. ​ It's because my anxiety works like this: ​ ​When things start feeling a little sticky in life, I start thinking when something happens or changes, then I'll feel better. In other words, I buy into the arrival fallacy. ​ 🌲 When I get more privacy trees in the backyard, I can finally relax. ​ 🎤 When I get on that podcast, I will finally feel like I've made it. ​ 💪 When I lose 5 more pounds, I'll finally feel confident to wear that bikini again. ​ 🌊 When I get this insane house on the ocean, I'll finally feel at peace and ease in my home. I'll never have another need in the world! ​ My anxiety usually hops around -- laser focused on one of these things for a few days at a time. My mind won't quit until I get it done. Except just like whack-a-mole, a new one pops up every time I smack one of them on the head. ​ Luckily, I'm getting better at recognizing the pattern. ​ That house isn't going to fix any discomfort I feel (it will probably just unlock a new fear of my house falling into the ocean). ​ I don't need to lose any pounds for permission or confidence to wear a bikini. ​ And no matter how many zeros there are after my revenue... it will never feel like I've made it.* ​ As you grow your business, watch where you create a story around what will change for you when you arrive. ​ When you get where you want to go, it will come with its own new set of challenges. Challenges you're capable of navigating because of all the ones you've been through up to this point. ​ But if you expect that on the other side of this overwhelming, difficult time building your business it will be all smooth sailing... ​ I've got news for you. ​ When you grow your business, you won't be happy (because of your business). ​ You'll be happy if you appreciate where you are, when you're there. That goes for now and later. ​ Even more so, if you detach yourself from metrics and your business' success. ​ That's why I wrote an entire book ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/4zu96kxdd6uehp88852axh6943r5rh5hm7gn/x0hph3ue0l450xfg/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9ib29rLw== ) setting the record straight on what your business is really meant to do for you in your life. ​ In it, I shared all of my best marketing secrets -- like how I grew this email list to over 63k, how to create fewer pieces of content that have a greater impact, how to sell more of your digital product/course/or service online, and how to stay sane while doing it. ​ You only have until April 29 to grab a copy ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/4zu96kxdd6uehp88852axh6943r5rh5hm7gn/x0hph3ue0l450xfg/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9ib29rLw== ) and get a free ticket to my live book club call on April 30. ​ It's basically like getting a free 90-min business coaching call with me... for the cost of my book! 📚 TO JOIN BOOK CLUB: -------------------- * Buy my book anywhere you want (it's 40% off on Amazon ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/4zu96kxdd6uehp88852axh6943r5rh5hm7gn/7qh7h2u95mxr5ls9/aHR0cHM6Ly9lZWRkYTBhNy5jbGljay5jb252ZXJ0a2l0LW1haWw0LmNvbS8zOHV2cDI4N25wYWtoMmc0NXhnc3JoNG1rb3JnbHU3aHJleDQvMDhod2hndTJyMGc2bmtocC9hSFIwY0hNNkx5OWhiWHB1TG5Sdkx6UmpORk0zUlZrPQ== ), or checkout Bookshop ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/4zu96kxdd6uehp88852axh6943r5rh5hm7gn/z2hgh7uex8mqxvbz/aHR0cHM6Ly9lZWRkYTBhNy5jbGljay5jb252ZXJ0a2l0LW1haWw0LmNvbS8zOHV2cDI4N25wYWtoMmc0NXhnc3JoNG1rb3JnbHU3aHJleDQvbDJoZWg2dWw3NTZtcTNjZy9hSFIwY0hNNkx5OWliMjlyYzJodmNDNXZjbWN2WVM4eE1UWTVNQzg1TnpneE5UTTROelkzTXpneQ== ), Barnes & Noble ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/4zu96kxdd6uehp88852axh6943r5rh5hm7gn/x0hph3ue0l4505ug/aHR0cHM6Ly9lZWRkYTBhNy5jbGljay5jb252ZXJ0a2l0LW1haWw0LmNvbS8zOHV2cDI4N25wYWtoMmc0NXhnc3JoNG1rb3JnbHU3aHJleDQvZTBocGgwdTdvOXEzbTRoNy9hSFIwY0hNNkx5OTNkM2N1WW1GeWJtVnpZVzVrYm05aWJHVXVZMjl0TDNjdmQyaGxiaTFwTFhOMFlYSjBMVzE1TFdKMWMybHVaWE56TFdsc2JDMWlaUzFvWVhCd2VTMXpZVzB0ZG1GdVpHVnlMWGRwWld4bGJpOHhNVFExTlRVME9UY3pQMlZoYmowNU56Z3hOVE00TnpZM016Z3k= ), Inkwood ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/4zu96kxdd6uehp88852axh6943r5rh5hm7gn/qvh8h8udp0l95ghg/aHR0cHM6Ly9lZWRkYTBhNy5jbGljay5jb252ZXJ0a2l0LW1haWw0LmNvbS8zOHV2cDI4N25wYWtoMmc0NXhnc3JoNG1rb3JnbHU3aHJleDQvcDhoZWhxdTRva2d3cjZpci9hSFIwY0hNNkx5OTNkM2N1YVc1cmQyOXZaRzVxTG1OdmJTOXBkR1Z0THpGcGNVMWhWelp6Y201UVdIWnhZMEpTZWpGMU1sRT0= ), or Vermont Book Shop ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/4zu96kxdd6uehp88852axh6943r5rh5hm7gn/9qhzhdudrleom6iz/aHR0cHM6Ly9lZWRkYTBhNy5jbGljay5jb252ZXJ0a2l0LW1haWw0LmNvbS8zOHV2cDI4N25wYWtoMmc0NXhnc3JoNG1rb3JnbHU3aHJleDQvcXZoOGg4dWRwZ29tZWxoZy9hSFIwY0hNNkx5OTJaWEp0YjI1MFltOXZhM05vYjNBdVkyOXRMMkp2YjJzdk9UYzRNVFV6T0RjMk56TTRNZz09 )​ * Fill out this form on this page ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/4zu96kxdd6uehp88852axh6943r5rh5hm7gn/08hwhgu2rkp35dhp/aHR0cHM6Ly9lZWRkYTBhNy5jbGljay5jb252ZXJ0a2l0LW1haWw0LmNvbS8zOHV2cDI4N25wYWtoMmc0NXhnc3JoNG1rb3JnbHU3aHJleDQvM29ocGhkdTNnNjQ1MDZmcC9hSFIwY0hNNkx5OTNkM2N1YzJGdGRtRnVaR1Z5ZDJsbGJHVnVMbU52YlM5aWIyOXJMdz09 )​ ​ ​ Will I see you there, ?

​ ​ **************************** What My Book Is Really About **************************** ​ Hi from Atlanta! I flew down yesterday to meetup with ~40ish of the coolest people in online business. ​ You know I brought her with me: ​ I shipped down copies of my book for everyone here. I also need a copy in the flesh to be a guest on a dream podcast (again!) while I'm here 🫣 ​ As I talk to all these incredible entrepreneurs -- so many of whom already read it!! 🤯 -- they're saying the same thing: ​ This book was so much more than what I thought it was. I thought it was about legal stuff. Or for beginners. But it's not -- and I got so much out of it. ​ -- everything you've heard about my book, When I Start My Business, I'll Be Happy, is wrong. ​ I actually wrote a book about marketing and what's worked in building my 7-figure business over the last 10 years... I don't mention the legal stuff once. ​ Here's something I don't think most people realize — I've never built my business by talking about what I actually sell. ​ I sell legal templates and the Ultimate Bundle®️. ​ But for ten years, I've led with marketing. Content strategy, email lists, funnels, evergreen products. ​ That's what I talk about because it's what gets people in the door. ​ And honestly? That's what built my $9 million business selling just two digital products. ​ So when I sat down to write When I Start My Business, I'll Be Happy — I wrote the book I wish I'd had when I started. ​ It's not a legal book. It's a marketing book. ​ A real-life, behind-the-scenes breakdown of exactly how I built this business: * my simple content strategy that constantly attracts new customers * how I grew an email list of 63,000 people talking about legal stuff of all things, * how I built my exact marketing funnel, and * how to create a digital product that actually sells. ​ If you've ever skipped buying it because you thought it was all about contracts and website policies -- YUCK! 🤢 I wouldn't do that to you!! ​ It's a guidebook for you to steal my marketing secrets, copy my email list building strategies, and a few tips along the way on how to stay sane while doing it. ​ Have I convinced you to read it, ? ​ I want to gift you something if you buy a copy ASAP. ​ To celebrate its one-year release-aversary, I'm gifting anyone who purchases my book before April 29th... ​ 🥳 A ticket to a live 90-minute book club call with me on April 30! ​ It's basically 90-mins of live business coaching with me... for the cost of my book! 🤯 🥳 TO JOIN BOOK CLUB: -------------------- * Buy my book anywhere you want (it's 40% off on Amazon ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/0vu574r227b9h9rg6nrtlhv76kem5snhxp5n/08hwhgu2r0g6nkhp/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbXpuLnRvLzRjNFM3RVk= ) today, or checkout Bookshop ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/0vu574r227b9h9rg6nrtlhv76kem5snhxp5n/l2heh6ul756mq3cg/aHR0cHM6Ly9ib29rc2hvcC5vcmcvYS8xMTY5MC85NzgxNTM4NzY3Mzgy ), Barnes & Noble ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/0vu574r227b9h9rg6nrtlhv76kem5snhxp5n/e0hph0u7o9q3m4h7/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmFybmVzYW5kbm9ibGUuY29tL3cvd2hlbi1pLXN0YXJ0LW15LWJ1c2luZXNzLWlsbC1iZS1oYXBweS1zYW0tdmFuZGVyLXdpZWxlbi8xMTQ1NTU0OTczP2Vhbj05NzgxNTM4NzY3Mzgy ), Inkwood ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/0vu574r227b9h9rg6nrtlhv76kem5snhxp5n/p8hehqu4okgwr6ir/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5rd29vZG5qLmNvbS9pdGVtLzFpcU1hVzZzcm5QWHZxY0JSejF1MlE= ), or Vermont Book Shop ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/0vu574r227b9h9rg6nrtlhv76kem5snhxp5n/qvh8h8udpgomelhg/aHR0cHM6Ly92ZXJtb250Ym9va3Nob3AuY29tL2Jvb2svOTc4MTUzODc2NzM4Mg== )​ * Fill out this form on this page ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/0vu574r227b9h9rg6nrtlhv76kem5snhxp5n/3ohphdu3g64506fp/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9ib29rLw== ) ⤵️ ​ ​ Truthfully, I need your support with my book, . ​ Whether you grab a copy, text a link to a friend, or buy a copy for a friend who needs it -- ​ I truly appreciate your help. ​ I don't think people understand how hard it is to be a first-time author... or a woman writing about business against all the big dogs. ​ Every purchase means the world to me. 🙏 ​ Hit "reply" and let me know if you grabbed a copy so I can thank you personally (& tell you how excited I am to see you at book club on April 30!!) ​ You've got to grab a copy before this timer runs out in order to get an invite to book club ⤵️ ​ ​ ​ Did someone forward you this newsletter?

​ ​ ******************************************************* What Nobody Tells You About Building Through Hard Times ******************************************************* ​ Last week I texted my friend, "Have you seen those breast feeding pods in the airport?" ​ "Yeah..." she replied, confused about where I was going with this. ​ "It's been one of those weeks where I fantasize about buying one, putting it in my backyard, and shutting myself inside." ​ Last week, something bad was happening to nearly everyone I cared about. As a highly sensitive person, I took it hard. ​ And it's no secret that since my parents died, I've struggled with depression. Although I'm feeling so much better these days, it doesn't take much to push me over the edge. ​ After their deaths, it feels like someone went in, tangled my brain's pathways worse than a pair of wired headphones, and left me to figure out how to untangle them... in the dark... with my hands tied behind my back. ​ One Sarah McLachlan animal commercial and I go down... hard. ​ Yet regardless of what's happening around me, in the world, or how tough of a grief-day I'm having, my business doesn't stop business'ing. ​ ​People want to buy the Ultimate Bundle®️. DMs flow in asking me to be on their podcast. A customer needs help understanding the new-ish ADA lawsuit trend. My team of 3 needs me. I need them. My business flows round-and-round. ​ It's a dance I'm intimately familiar with by now. ​ I built this business in the face of so much adversity. ​ 🧠 My own brain surgery and recovery. ​ 🩸 My dad's terminal AML leukemia diagnosis and treatment. ​ 💔 His passing (and my devastation). ​ 💔 💔 My mom's passing coming right afterwards, like a wave you didn't expect to crush you while you were still underwater from the last one. ​ Sometimes when I talk about what happened, people will say: "why didn't you just stop? Take some time off. Go off the grid!" ​ How many people have that luxury? ​ I certainly didn't. ​ I had a mortgage to pay. Bills to contribute to. Dad's groceries to buy. ​ Can you relate, ? ​ You might have a young family to take care of. ​ You're stressing about what the future looks like for your aging parents. ​ Or you have a dream of buying a big piece of land and growing all of your own vegetables... and you don't have the cash you need quite yet. ​ I know you've got something. ​ What most people don't tell you -- because they've never done it themselves -- is that you don't need to stop building your business until that thing resolves itself (it may never). ​ You can actually build a business that supports you through it. ​ I know because I did it. ​ The multi 7-figure business I built during the hardest years of my life is the same one that gave me the flexibility to hold both of my parents' hands as they passed, grieve them in peace, and the spaciousness to crawl out of the depths of depression. ​ That wasn't by accident. I had to learn how to build a plane for emergency landing... as it was landing. ​ And it's exactly what I wrote about in my book. ​ 📚 I wrote When I Start My Business, I'll Be Happy for the person who wants to build a successful online business, but is dealing with real life at the same time. ​ Whether you just don't want to be glued to your laptop 8 hours a day because you'd rather actually live your life... ​ or you're going through something hard that's pulling your attention elsewhere — this book meets you there. ​ Inside, I'll walk you through how to: ​ * build an email list that unchains you from relentless social media pressure * find out exactly what product your customers are waiting for, so it practically sells itself * create less content that does more for you (using my Big 3 strategy) ​ To celebrate its one-year release-aversary on April 15, I'm gifting anyone who purchases my book this month... ​ 🥳 A ticket to a live 90-minute book club call with me on April 30! ​ It's basically 90-mins of live business coaching with me... for the cost of my book! 🤯 🚨 TO JOIN BOOK CLUB: -------------------- * Buy my book anywhere you want (it's 40% off on Amazon ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/zlu5dpw22dbnhkxrg92fphwg9x3r5b6hx623/9qhzhdudwv7d2miz/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9XaGVuLVN0YXJ0LUJ1c2luZXNzLUhhcHB5LUVudHJlcHJlbmV1cnNoaXAvZHAvMTUzODc2NzM4ND9jcmlkPTIwNEQwNFhSWEhXVVAmZGliPWV5SjJJam9pTVNKOS4wZURNUmxJVXVpNktEajZhS2ZNQjNTQmszSVF4X0FULTBZUEVyNDRxOFRxQjJGa1gwaDZuNUx1MHdmNkVRa3pZRzBSTXJUZUJNV1RWcFJGdnpsWFJNZldSREl4dC05Wm1PTHZWaEZXZ3hkcnBiQ0oyOTYwSld5SktUay1JYl84WWhnZDVwRHdFbTZWVUdBeVRxTDRMbENtUVU3QkpBMy01YjhjOExOZ0JPeE5IOUNVMUUtaFpaQk1xeExDX3pkRk0xUUZaV1BmRXZnbVVibzdBUmxLTzk2bGIxc25DUl9ONjFYUHY2LU9paWtzLlBncTB1Uk41V0p6b3pMaEIwNll3X0dqaFUzbnNNNC1QTzNGd1MtQmh0eUEmZGliX3RhZz1zZSZrZXl3b3Jkcz13aGVuJTIwaSUyMHN0YXJ0JTIwbXklMjBidXNpbmVzcyZxaWQ9MTczNTg0ODY0NSZzcHJlZml4PXdoZW4lMjBpJTIwc3RhcnQlMjBteSUyMGJ1c2luZXMlMkNhcHMlMkMxNTEmc3I9OC0xJmxpbmtDb2RlPWxsMiZ0YWc9aHlnZ3dlbGwtMjAmbGlua0lkPTkyZWI0ZjA1NGUzZDYwMWE2ZWQ4MzFjOGE5NWJiM2MzJmxhbmd1YWdlPWVuX1VTJnJlZl89YXNfbGlfc3NfdGw= ) today, or checkout Bookshop ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/zlu5dpw22dbnhkxrg92fphwg9x3r5b6hx623/wnh2h6uq72zqolil/aHR0cHM6Ly9ib29rc2hvcC5vcmcvYS8xMTY5MC85NzgxNTM4NzY3Mzgy ), Barnes & Noble ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/zlu5dpw22dbnhkxrg92fphwg9x3r5b6hx623/8ghqh3uod64ogefl/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmFybmVzYW5kbm9ibGUuY29tL3cvd2hlbi1pLXN0YXJ0LW15LWJ1c2luZXNzLWlsbC1iZS1oYXBweS1zYW0tdmFuZGVyLXdpZWxlbi8xMTQ1NTU0OTczP2Vhbj05NzgxNTM4NzY3Mzgy ), Inkwood ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/zlu5dpw22dbnhkxrg92fphwg9x3r5b6hx623/m2h7h6u356r3o9hl/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5rd29vZG5qLmNvbS9pdGVtLzFpcU1hVzZzcm5QWHZxY0JSejF1MlE= ) (NJ), or Book Hampton ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/zlu5dpw22dbnhkxrg92fphwg9x3r5b6hx623/dphehmue693eqwbl/aHR0cHM6Ly9ib29raGFtcHRvbi5jb20vYm9vay85NzgxNTM4NzY3Mzgy ) (NY). * Fill out this form on this page ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/zlu5dpw22dbnhkxrg92fphwg9x3r5b6hx623/e0hph0u7v3x7k2u7/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9ib29rLw== ) ⤵️ ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/zlu5dpw22dbnhkxrg92fphwg9x3r5b6hx623/e0hph0u7v3x7k2u7/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9ib29rLw== )fill out this form to join book club ^ ​ Voila!

​ ​ ****************************** I Didn't Have Time to Girlboss ****************************** ​ When I walked out of the law firm for the last time on Friday, August 19, 2016, I thought I was on my way to build a successful online health coaching business. ​ In reality, I had no idea what I was doing. ​ I did the same things you did -- ​ 🌰 I stuffed my inbox with more webinars than a squirrel storing nuts for the winter. ​ 🧘‍♂️ I started following all of the gurus who seemed to have the secrets to quick success. ​ And since it was 2016, I became a full-fledged girl boss building her femmepire. L: My IG story 9/5/2018; R: speaker tag from FearlessCon, Philadelphia, PA, October 2017 ​ Back then, there was A WAY to do things if you wanted to be successful online. ​ At least that's what 'they' said. ​ But right after I started my business, I had brain surgery and a rough 1-year recovery. ​ The moment I felt better, my dad got leukemia. ​ 🥂 I went from girlbossing it up and toasting my femmepire mug to the idea that women could build independent wealth online to... ​ 💊 Negotiating with big pharma companies to get my dad hundreds of thousands of dollars of experimental drugs per month for free just to keep him alive. (They said yes.) ​ I didn't have the luxury of building my business the way everybody else was. ​ I had limited time and even more limited energy. ​ Slowly, and quietly behind the scenes, I did just that. ​ I built a multi 7-figure digital products business with puffy eyes from the insides of chemo rooms. ​ I built it the way everyone else say you couldn't because I had to. ​ Thanks to all my life stuff, I didn't go to the big conferences or get to network. ​ Plus, I sold legal templates... the cool kids weren't exactly knocking down my door. ​ Honestly, that didn't change until I came out with my book last year. ​ But sitting here nearly ten years later, you're in a very different industry than the one I "came up" in. ​ Not that things are perfect... that's for sure... ​ But I do think a lot of the toxicity is being dismantled. ​ New rules are being written. ​ There are so many more ways to build your business now than what was 'acceptable' when I started. ​ ❌ You don't have to do webinars anymore if you don't want to. ​ ❌ Or have 3 levels of your coaching program. ​ ❌ You don't even have to be on social media if you don't want to! ​ On the one hand, the freedom is delicious. ​ On the other, it feels really overwhelming. ​ Like you don't know where to start, what to focus on, or who to trust. ​ So three months ago, when my friend and copywriter-superstar, Tarzan Kay, asked me to speak at The Girlboss Apology Tour ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/0vu574r227b9h9e80zrtlhv8qqpgqhnhxp5n/n2hohquvq2zeo7c0/aHR0cHM6Ly9teXJvb3RhYmwuY29tL3IvbTh1NkhCOTY_cm9vdGFibD1zYW12dw== ), I told her... ​ "I'm in! But I don't know if I'm sorry..." ​ She quickly explained: "That's not what this is all about. We're here to share mistakes from a place of curiosity, not shame. To help the next generation. ​ In general, I don't apologize for doing what I thought was best at the time (unless, of course, I hurt someone). ​ I did what I could with what I had when I had it. ​ It's what we all do. ​ Tarzan's Girlboss Apology Tour is actually a 3-day (free!) virtual summit ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/0vu574r227b9h9e80zrtlhv8qqpgqhnhxp5n/n2hohquvq2zeo7c0/aHR0cHM6Ly9teXJvb3RhYmwuY29tL3IvbTh1NkhCOTY_cm9vdGFibD1zYW12dw== ) with interviews from coaches, creatives, and creators like me. ​ We talk about the true cost of success, the future of digital courses/sales, and what we'd do differently building our businesses today. ​ There are so many ways for you to build a successful online business today, . ​ It starts with seeing someone modeling what you want. ​ The 14 speakers Tarzan gathered for The Girlboss Apology Tour are a great start. ​ 🎤 If that sounds like something you want, grab your free ticket here→ ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/0vu574r227b9h9e80zrtlhv8qqpgqhnhxp5n/n2hohquvq2zeo7c0/aHR0cHM6Ly9teXJvb3RhYmwuY29tL3IvbTh1NkhCOTY_cm9vdGFibD1zYW12dw== ) (and bring a friend!). ​ The Tour starts on April 13, and you’re going to want to make space in your calendar for this. ​ It also includes THREE LIVE EVENTS where Tarzan's bringing people together to talk about where we’ve been, what you may want to leave behind, and where you want to claim for yourself as you grow your business. ​ I’ve known Tarzan for 4 years. I trust her when it comes to facilitating big conversations with care. I know she will make this event incredibly special. ​ See you there, ? ​ Hit “reply” and tell me if you’re going. I want to look for you! ​ ​ PS. The Girlboss Apology Tour is free, starts April 13, and it might be the most honest conversation happening on the internet right now.

​ ​ ************************************************* My Quiet Way to Secretly Win (in business & life) ************************************************* ​ It’s not often I get sucked into a reality show… ​ But this winter out on eastern Long Island has been a slog. ​ I’d already decanted all of my coconut sugar and almond flour into jars. I’d read through my TBR pile. I stared at my mom’s knitting pile and dreamt of being someone who could figure it out. ​ So when I was watching the Emmy’s and saw a reality show called The Traitors won an Emmy, it caught my attention. ​ Growing up, I was obsessed with The Real World and Road Rules — not exactly “Emmy award winning television.” ​ Desperate one day when it was already dark at 4:45pm, I flipped Traitors on. ​ I was hooked. Who’s a traitor and who’s a faithful? How many times will Alan Cumming say murrrr-derrrr in that delicious Scottish accent? ​ I won’t spoil any seasons for you (have you watched?! Tell me!!) but what I can spoil for you is this: ​ The people who win it aren’t the loudest. ​ They’re not the ones causing the most drama or throwing themselves in front of the camera. ​ They’re the ones slowly, quietly working in the background to build relationships and a long-term plan. ​ You know what that reminds me a whole lot of? ​ Building a successful online business. ​ Over the past 10 years, I’ve never been the loudest, trendiest, or most dramatic (at least online!) person in the biz. ​ I’ve slowly chipped away behind the scenes, building my business to a multi 7-figure one in 2019 and kept it that way every single year since. ​ The cool club never invited me to join. No one ever knew how much I was making behind the scenes. I never got the secret mastermind or big podcast invite. ​ So maybe that’s why it came as a surprise to some when a month ago, I had a 4-day over $500,000 launch. ​ 📚 You wouldn’t be surprised if you read my book. (Get it at Bookshop ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/p9u25gkzz5i9h2605lkcqhp0rz2rkarhmv4g/25h2h9u392470lu8/aHR0cHM6Ly9ib29rc2hvcC5vcmcvYS8xMTY5MC85NzgxNTM4NzY3Mzgy ) or Amazon ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/p9u25gkzz5i9h2605lkcqhp0rz2rkarhmv4g/qvh8h8udwro82zhg/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbXpuLnRvLzRiWVpKYlA= )). ​ Because in it, I teach you exactly how to plan a launch like this (and build an email list and audience full of people to sell to —which is what you really need.) ​ You also wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve been around here — because I’ve been having multi-6-figure launches for years. (I had a $375k+ launch just 3 months before the $500k one). ​ Not saying any of this to brag. ​ I’m more of the self-deprecating type, but my mindset coach, Jen, tells me it isn’t as cute as I think it is. ​ My point is: ​ You feel like you need to do something big and dramatic to be successful in your business… ​ Or even that success itself is something big and dramatic: huge revenue numbers, big team, large following… ​ But it’s actually the quiet work behind the scenes that no one applauds you for that will make you successful. ​ And guess what? ​ If you start tuning out the loudest, most dramatic people in this industry — ​ You get to decide what success means. ​ It’s not necessarily $10k months. It’s not 10k followers. It’s not selling 10k books. ​ That’s like assuming that outfit that looks amazing on her will look the same on you. Maybe it will, maybe it won’t. ​ Maybe it’s not the outfit that you like. Maybe it’s how confident she looks in it. ​ I think it’s why so many people write to me telling me they’re envious of my business. ​ It’s not because I make the most money, sell the most books, or have the biggest audience. ​ I hope it’s because I show that my successful business isn’t my life… and then actually live it. ​ My business is just a sliver of it. ​ I live a little, quiet life full of spontaneous walks to our beach, savoring that first sip of coffee each morning without thinking about my to-do list, and my refrigerator full of art from my nephews and the neighborhood kids. ​ So maybe I could win Traitors? (I’d 100% have to be a Faithful because this Philly-face is incapable of showing every thought that passes through my mind). ​ If so, I’d do it the way I know how: laying low and being myself. ​ If you’re more of the “OK, Sam — just tell me how you actually pulled off a $500k launch” type — ​ Good news: ​ Today’s episode of my podcast, On Your Terms®️, is a full-launch breakdown.🎙️Listen on Apple ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/p9u25gkzz5i9h2605lkcqhp0rz2rkarhmv4g/g3hnhwum936eo9h3/aHR0cHM6Ly9wb2RjYXN0cy5hcHBsZS5jb20vdXMvcG9kY2FzdC8yODEtaG93LWktbWFkZS0lMjQ1MDBrLWluLTQtZGF5cy10aGUtcmVhbC1zdG9yeS9pZDE1NzY0MjMyNDg_aT0xMDAwNzU2NzMzNTMx ), Spotify ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/p9u25gkzz5i9h2605lkcqhp0rz2rkarhmv4g/9qhzhdudwpzg3riz/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL2VwaXNvZGUvNkM0VmZQRmJDVDlyVFJOU204b3NtUT9zaT05NDg1Mjc0MGMyMDI0Zjll ), YouTube ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/p9u25gkzz5i9h2605lkcqhp0rz2rkarhmv4g/3ohphdu3m74q9lcp/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_bGM9VWd4S19aN3RDNkttb1k0THdGbDRBYUFCQWcmdj1DX1lzaU1IMGoyVQ== ), Substack ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/p9u25gkzz5i9h2605lkcqhp0rz2rkarhmv4g/48hvh7umlr60q4tq/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnN1YnN0YWNrLmNvbS9wdWIvc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVubGxjL3AvaG93LXRvLWdldC1maXJzdC0xMDAwLXN1YnN0YWNrLXN1YnNjcmliZXJzLW9yZ2FuaWMtZ3Jvd3RoP3I9NG96bDYmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1pb3M= )→ ​ I answered Liliette’s question about where to start with growing her audience, Ruth Ann’s question about Meta ads, and Ariel’s question about how someone without a team can run a successful launch. ​ I’ll tell you the same thing I’ve told the hundreds of people blowing up my DMs, inbox, texts, etc. asking me “how’d you do it!?”… ​ 🤓 Read my book ($17 here ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/p9u25gkzz5i9h2605lkcqhp0rz2rkarhmv4g/qvh8h8udwro82zhg/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbXpuLnRvLzRiWVpKYlA= )→, or $27 here ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/p9u25gkzz5i9h2605lkcqhp0rz2rkarhmv4g/25h2h9u392470lu8/aHR0cHM6Ly9ib29rc2hvcC5vcmcvYS8xMTY5MC85NzgxNTM4NzY3Mzgy )→) ​ then, ​ 🎧 Listen to Episode #281 of my podcast, On Your Terms®️ ($0) on Apple ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/p9u25gkzz5i9h2605lkcqhp0rz2rkarhmv4g/g3hnhwum936eo9h3/aHR0cHM6Ly9wb2RjYXN0cy5hcHBsZS5jb20vdXMvcG9kY2FzdC8yODEtaG93LWktbWFkZS0lMjQ1MDBrLWluLTQtZGF5cy10aGUtcmVhbC1zdG9yeS9pZDE1NzY0MjMyNDg_aT0xMDAwNzU2NzMzNTMx ), Spotify ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/p9u25gkzz5i9h2605lkcqhp0rz2rkarhmv4g/9qhzhdudwpzg3riz/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL2VwaXNvZGUvNkM0VmZQRmJDVDlyVFJOU204b3NtUT9zaT05NDg1Mjc0MGMyMDI0Zjll ), YouTube ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/p9u25gkzz5i9h2605lkcqhp0rz2rkarhmv4g/3ohphdu3m74q9lcp/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_bGM9VWd4S19aN3RDNkttb1k0THdGbDRBYUFCQWcmdj1DX1lzaU1IMGoyVQ== ), or Substack ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/p9u25gkzz5i9h2605lkcqhp0rz2rkarhmv4g/48hvh7umlr60q4tq/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnN1YnN0YWNrLmNvbS9wdWIvc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVubGxjL3AvaG93LXRvLWdldC1maXJzdC0xMDAwLXN1YnN0YWNrLXN1YnNjcmliZXJzLW9yZ2FuaWMtZ3Jvd3RoP3I9NG96bDYmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1pb3M= )→ ​ I’d love to break it all down for you 1-on-1… ​ But I have to get back to watching Traitors.

​ ​ ************************************************ I'm Getting Really Good at Being Bad (at things) ************************************************ ​ I'm not very good at being bad at things. ​ I don't mean I'm good at everything. I mean, when I'm bad at something, I act like an Upper East Side child who got last year's Labubu for Christmas. ​ I'm working on it. ​ This childish part of myself came to a head last year when I hiked the challenging, yet stunning, mountains of Chile and Argentina in Patagonia. ​ Every hike went nearly the same way: ​ The hikes started out flat and beautiful, meandering through lush valleys and past ice blue glaciers. But as soon as we'd reach our first challenging ascent, I snapped. ​ My mind would instantly go dark. ​ I can't do this. This is too hard. Why did we come here? This isn't fun. This isn't a vacation! I hate this. I hate hiking. ​ I'd get to the top to see this: guanacos were my favorite part And I'd instantly chill. I can't believe I made it, I'd think. Why did I have to make the journey here so miserable for myself? ​ Granted, my grief was pretty fresh. I hadn't even lost my mom 2 years before. ​ Actually, everything on that trip was really fresh: I'd never ice climbed a glacier, kayaked 28-miles down a glacier river, or used my bare hands to hoist myself up and over rocks the length of my entire body caked in mud. ​ And I'd definitely never gone to the bathroom in the woods. (I'm from Philly. We eat hoagies and throw batteries at Santa 😂) ​ I'm actually really good at trying new things. ​ I'm just not good at being bad at them. ​ Or, at least I wasn't. ​ Something about that Patagonia trip made me come to. I didn't like my mindset, and it didn't feel like me, either. ​ I went to China by myself when I was 16. I've stood out in below-zero temps at Lambeau to watch the Packers beat the Bears. I've competed in HYROX, even though I had brain surgery! ​ ​ I'm adventurous. I'm open to new experiences. ​ It's just that I'm getting better at being bad at them. ​ On the work front, this came to a head when I started a personal Substack ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/r8uxdmorrdboh3dxxnlh2hdnzovq9c7hwzo4/wnh2h6uq743p7gtl/aHR0cHM6Ly9zYW12YW5kZXJ3aWVsZW5sbGMuc3Vic3RhY2suY29tLw== ) last August. ​ I'm writing about building a life that exists more offline than online, the truth about building a business you love, and how I'm rebuilding myself after the hardest season of my life. ​ At first, it was uncomfortable for me to write about how my trip to Disney World felt like a metaphor for my grief ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/r8uxdmorrdboh3dxxnlh2hdnzovq9c7hwzo4/reh8h9umd7erdnf6/aHR0cHM6Ly9zYW12YW5kZXJ3aWVsZW5sbGMuc3Vic3RhY2suY29tL3Avc29sby1kaXNuZXktd29ybGQtdHJpcC1ncmllZj9yPTRvemw2 ) or what happened when Amazon stopped being my default ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/r8uxdmorrdboh3dxxnlh2hdnzovq9c7hwzo4/vqh3hmuo04d700fw/aHR0cHM6Ly9zYW12YW5kZXJ3aWVsZW5sbGMuc3Vic3RhY2suY29tL3AvYW1hem9uLWZyZWUtZm9yLWEteWVhci0yMDI2LW5vLWFtYXpvbi1zaG9wcGluZy1leHBlcmltZW50P3I9NG96bDY= ) because I was so used to always having to be useful. ​ If a post wasn't "3 ways to grow your email list" or "5 things you must have in your contracts," I didn't use to write it. ​ A post had to "go somewhere," or "convert," or have a "clear call to action." ​ It was also the first time in a long time I'd written something that hardly anyone read or liked. ​ At first, I got one or two likes... usually from a friend. I posted weekly anyway. ​ The thing I'm proudest of, after having recently reached over 1,000 subscribers there, isn't that metric itself -- ​ It's the fact that I kept going even when things felt clunky and uncomfortable. I didn't know how Substack worked, no one engaged with anything I wrote... it would have been easy to go back to platforms I'm used to. Ones I know I can "perform" on. ​ What I'm writing there might not be good. It might not even be useful to other people (gasp!). ​ I even have a selfish motivation to be there. I want to practice my writing so I get better at it. So the next time I write another book, it's even better than my first ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/r8uxdmorrdboh3dxxnlh2hdnzovq9c7hwzo4/m2h7h6u3597p5pbl/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9ib29rLw== ). ​ But the cool part is: I'm writing there before I'm good at it. While I'm getting good at it. Regardless of whether I'm good at it! ​ (Exactly what I talked about in last week's podcast episode ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/r8uxdmorrdboh3dxxnlh2hdnzovq9c7hwzo4/7qh7h2u9l8m7lnb9/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS93aGF0LXRvLWZvY3VzLW9uLWZpcnN0LXRvLWJ1aWxkLWFuLWF1ZGllbmNlLw== ), you've got to get good at something in order to build an audience for it.) ​ So as I write to you between hikes in Peru (HI FROM PERU, by the way!!) -- I'm practicing enjoying the journey. Letting myself be uncomfortable. Maybe even bad at it. 😉 ​ Speaking of Substack... ​ The last time I did a podcast episode ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/r8uxdmorrdboh3dxxnlh2hdnzovq9c7hwzo4/x0hph3ue2zl608ag/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9zdWJzdGFjay12cy1teS1uZXdzbGV0dGVyLXdoYXQtZ29lcy13aGVyZS1hbmQtd2h5Lw== ) about why I started a Substack when I have a 62k subscriber email list here on Kit, you loved it. ​ So now that I've been writing there consistently for seven months and hit the 1k subscriber mark (no, I didn't drag anyone over from this email list to Substack)... ​ I thought I'd show you exactly how I got 1,000 subscribers on Substack. LISTEN HERE→ ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/r8uxdmorrdboh3dxxnlh2hdnzovq9c7hwzo4/7qh7h2u9l8m758s9/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9ob3ctdG8tZ2V0LWZpcnN0LTEwMDAtc3Vic3RhY2stc3Vic2NyaWJlcnMv )​ ​ This is the exact plan ^ I'd follow if you're looking to start something over there. ​ Just to be clear: Substack isn't a replacement for my list here on Kit. (I explain why in this episode ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/r8uxdmorrdboh3dxxnlh2hdnzovq9c7hwzo4/x0hph3ue2zl608ag/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9zdWJzdGFjay12cy1teS1uZXdzbGV0dGVyLXdoYXQtZ29lcy13aGVyZS1hbmQtd2h5Lw== ).) ​ If you're looking for a social media alternative, however, that has better discoverability than a platform like Instagram -- or you don't have a website yet, but you want to write long-form content -- I think Substack is a great choice for that. ​ Once you listen to this week's episode of my podcast, On Your Terms®️ about how I got my first 1,000 subscribers on Substack -- ​ Hit "reply" and let me know what your Substack thoughts are! Are you on it? Thinking about it? Let me know! ​ OK, I can't breathe up here at this insane elevation in Peru.

​ ​ ************************ On Working on Your Craft ************************ ​ My office closet is like a little shrine to all of my 'failed' business attempts. ​ If you read my book ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/p9u25gkzz5i9h26lnx9hqhp0l6e46trhmv4g/08hwhgu2vp5478hp/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9ib29rLw== ), you know I started a food blog called Barrister's Beet when I was still working as a corporate lawyer. ​ This wasn't just some side hobby. I really wanted to be a famous food blogger. ​ So I did what I thought you were supposed to do when you wanted a really big thing. ​ I bought everything a "famous food blogger" needed. ​ A fancy camera I didn't know how to operate. A 20-piece, overly complicated lighting system I couldn't set up myself. Editing software to brighten and adjust the photos I didn't know how to use. ​ Not knowing how to use these things was the least of my problems... ​ I didn't even want to learn. ​ What I really wanted was pretty photos that made my website and food look fancy... ​ I just didn't want to learn how to take them. ​ 🔓 I'd just unlocked my first business lesson: you can tell a lot about what you really want by how willing you are to struggle to get it. ​ After ditching my food blogger dreams and shutting down the health coaching business I created right after, I was shocked to see how differently I approached my legal templates business. ​ I don't understand this whole SEO thing... no prob, I'll teach myself! ​ What kind of content do I need to create to get people to buy my products? I'll just play and figure it out! ​ Not one of the 50 people on my email list replied to my newsletter? Interesting! I'll learn how to write stronger calls to action to get them to click/reply. ​ This time, I was willing to be bad in order to get good. ​ Obstacles weren't challenges; they were opportunities. I genuinely celebrated the fact that I had 50, then 100, then 1,000 people to email each week -- I couldn't imagine speaking to a room full of THAT many people! ​ These days, I hear from so many people who want the outcome -- ​ The big email list. The huge following on Instagram. A packed book tour... ​ But what they don't realize is that in order to get where they want to land, they're going to have to go through a lot of turbulence first. ​ In order to build an audience, you have to get really good at creating content. ​ To build a big email list, you've got to work really hard, for a long time, to learn how to attract people who need you and then learn how to retain them. ​ To sell thousands of copies of your book, you have to work on your writing so you actually have an audience to sell to. ​ In other words, you've got to work on getting good in order to get the good result you want. ​ Here's what you should focus on first if you want to build an audience full of people who buy, share, reply, and listen.

​ ​ **************** I'm Having a Day **************** ​ I just deleted a 1,000 word email I'd worked really hard on because I would've felt like a phony for sending it. ​ I wrote to you about my 8-week pottery class and everything it's teaching me about perfection and our negative self-talk. ​ But the truth is: I'm sitting here with my heart racing after having woken up at 5am, my mind spinning with all my to-do's. ​ Don't forget: this is my 'entrepreneurial gap year.' (I wrote a Substack about it here ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/75u4epgooeh8h6lvo8vszhwr882gzhnhozm0/8ghqh3uoznkm26hl/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnN1YnN0YWNrLmNvbS9wdWIvc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVubGxjL3AvZW50cmVwcmVuZXVyLWdhcC15ZWFyLTIwMjY_dXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPXBvc3QtZXhwYW5kZWQtc2hhcmUmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1wb3N0JTIwdmlld2Vy ).) ​ I couldn't (in good conscience) write to you about perfection without addressing my own imperfect elephant in the room: ​ I'm not nailing it when it comes to my entrepreneur gap year. ​ Sure, I spent the last week riding the Tower of Terror in Disney World ~20 times, and my business didn't skip a beat. ​ But then I came back to a to-do list longer than a CVS receipt, and the anxiety jumped right back in. ​ I've got a social content shoot in New York City tomorrow -- which means tons of content planning and prep, outfit planning, packing, hair and nails... blah, blah, blah. ​ All to shoot content for a platform I'm not sure I even want to be on. ​ I was behind on writing this Sam's Sidebar, and I still haven't written a word for my Ultimate Bundle®️ member newsletter or Substack due tomorrow. ​ I've got two On Your Terms®️ podcast episodes to record on Thursday (that I haven't outlined or prepped a bit!) and two weeks of Sam's Sidebar to pre-write because I'm off to Peru in a few days. ​ I have a million other things on the list that I can't even let myself think about... because I have no clue how I'll get them done. ​ I feel like I'm being squeezed through a barrel. ​ But I'm the barrel. I'm inside the barrel. And I'm the one squeezing it. ​ There's this me that's so ambitious and full of creative energy. The one that dreams in email sequences and giddily texts her friends with "fun ideas for their funnels." (LOL) ​ And there's the me who so desperately needed the gap year she set out to have in the first place. ​ The me that feels exhausted, burnt out, and content-cynical after the loss of both of my parents and the complicated, painful grief I'm processing behind the scenes. ​ I'm not looking for advice. (Please don't give it, I'm already overwhelmed.) ​ I also don't have advice to give. (Something I'm learning to be OK with on my quest to not always be helpful. I am valuable, even if I'm not helpful.) ​ I know what to do in times like these: ​ * sit with how I'm feeling * chop everything that's not actually necessary, but feels it in my head * put my phone away & get off social * focus on 1 thing at a time that actually moves the business (this email, 1 podcast episode, etc.) ​ I wanted to share this in case you also struggle with slowing down. Not that anyone thought this, but I didn't want you to think it was necessarily going smoothly or easily for me over here. ​ Like me, you might be someone who's so used to running at sprint speed on autopilot that slowing down is actually the more difficult speed to maintain. ​ It's also in my Philly nature to be honest with you 100% of the time. I don't know it any other way. ​ And if you ever look at someone like me and think, "well she has energy all the time!" or "She just does all these things in her business and never gets stressed!" ​ Or you think, "she has a team, that's why everything is so easy and effortless" or "she has [insert thing you think I have that you don't have yet]" -- ​ It's important to remember that you own the business. You produce the content. You serve your clients. ​ You're the one responsible for everything at the end of the day... ​ Including managing yourself. ​ Funnily enough, this week's episode of my podcast, On Your Terms®️, is about perfectionism and a day when I got so overwhelmed, I made a list of everything I was trying to do perfectly. ​ Listen to it on Apple ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/75u4epgooeh8h6lvo8vszhwr882gzhnhozm0/vqh3hmuolr8zvzuw/aHR0cHM6Ly9wb2RjYXN0cy5hcHBsZS5jb20vdXMvcG9kY2FzdC8yNzgtbWFrZS10aGlzLWxpc3QtaWYteW91cmUtYnVybnQtb3V0LWl0LWNoYW5nZWQtZXZlcnl0aGluZy9pZDE1NzY0MjMyNDg_aT0xMDAwNzUyNDc3OTIw ) or Spotify ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/75u4epgooeh8h6lvo8vszhwr882gzhnhozm0/l2heh6ule7w8nxbg/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL2VwaXNvZGUvM0NMWnBaUzRtZm9QQmNSOWFvMHdtSD9zaT1iOTExMDYyMjNlMDU0MjNh ).

Life's too short!) ​ But it's one of the places in the world where I feel the most connected to my dad, Norm. (My dad and BFF, Norm, passed away in May 2022 from AML leukemia, in case you're new here.) ​ Growing up, the only vacation I ever went on with my dad was to Disney World. ​ We went multiple times per year, actually! (he definitely would NOT go multiple times per year now. Have you seen these Disney prices?! I don't know how people afford it!!) ​ Before my dad got leukemia in 2018, we had been talking about taking a trip down memory lane to visit the mouse house. ​ Then he got sick. ​ I thought once his treatment stabilized, we'd go. ​ But with chemo treatments every 3 weeks, and daily labs and blood transfusions in between... there was no chance. ​ As his leukemia wore on, he became more and more neutropenic -- making it extremely risky for him to even eat bagged salad, let alone someone's leftover snot on the Monorail. ​ Then came COVID... and the rest is history. ​ He died before we ever got to go. ​ I've this dream on my heart to go to Disney to reconnect with him ever since he died. I miss him so badly that it hurts somewhere deep within my belly -- a place that feels painfully close, yet lightyears away. ​ Yet instead of saying 'yes' to this dream I've had... ​ I judged myself for it. I talked myself out of it. I kept pushing it off. ​ "I'm not a child... I don't need to go to Disney World... especially if I go alone. Isn't that just... weird?" ​ But in honor of 2026 being my 'entrepreneur gap year' and letting myself play more: ​ I woke up one day in early January, struck by a lightning bolt of decision. ​ By the end of the day, my flights were booked, park hopper passes secured, and I felt my belly flutter the way it would when the elevator in Hollywood Tower drops. ​ And now I'm here. ​ Every single thing reminds me of him. The wafts of waffle cone as I stroll down Main Street. The trash cans, that are somehow never dirty. The music during the light show. ​ Everything is completely different. ​ Everything here at Disney, but also every single thing in my life. ​ Yet my heart feels this love like it's the most familiar thing I've ever known. ​ I think this is going to be a really hard week. ​ It's also going to be magical. ​ But what the heck does any of this have to do with you building an online business? ​ We spend a lot of time judging ourselves for our dreams. ​ Maybe yours is to start a business. ​ Or to switch up your niche and talk about something else. ​ To become " -- the go-to person for ___." The first person everyone thinks of when they think of your niche. ​ To have a podcast that millions of people download and write to you saying, "that episode you did changed my life." ​ No one is coming to make these dreams happen for us. ​ They're never going to feel less silly or out of reach than they do now. ​ The only way you'll ever know if dreams come true... ​ is to go. ​ ​ Follow me on Instagram ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/mvup324rr3i5hqv6mx2cmhr20lvqzf3hwlde/9qhzhdud093r67iz/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9zYW12YW5kZXJ3aWVsZW4= ) to see what I'm up to in Disney! ​ But this isn't the only major news I have for you today.

​ ​ ******************************************************* How I Pulled This Launch Off (aka, Courses Aren't Dead) ******************************************************* ​ I gotta be honest, "HAVE MY BIGGEST LAUNCH EVER" wasn't on my 2026 Bingo card... ​ Especially since 2026 is my "entrepreneur gap year." (I wrote about it on Substack here→ ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/xmu63e2gg3b6hpox4dph5h2ddrdlltnhvz8l/qvh8h8udz09o50sg/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnN1YnN0YWNrLmNvbS9wdWIvc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVubGxjL3AvZW50cmVwcmVuZXVyaWFsLWdhcC15ZWFyP3I9NG96bDYmc2hvd1dlbGNvbWVPblNoYXJlPXRydWUmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPXBvc3QmdXRtX21lZGl1bT13ZWI= )) ​ 🥳 So I didn't see it coming when the 4-day Ultimate Bundle®️ sale I ran last week made over $500,000. ​ I walked around all weekend staring into the abyss. I just ran a $350k launch like 3 months ago... ​ Plus, lately everyone's been all like, "courses are dead! Launches are dead! Webinars are dead!" ​ I worried they were right. What if this is the time it all stops working? ​ 🤔 So if everything's dead, as 'they' say, why are my launches getting bigger every time? ​ I have good news and bad news for you, . ​ The good news is I'll show you my stats and what I did that helped. ​ 📚 If you need more of a step-by-step plan, though -- you should read my book, When I Start My Business, I'll Be Happy ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/xmu63e2gg3b6hpox4dph5h2ddrdlltnhvz8l/g3hnhwumrk465zt3/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9ib29rLw== ). (If you wish I could be your business coach, that's what my book is. It's everything I know: how to build an email list, audience, evergreen funnels & big launches. It's $17 right now here ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/xmu63e2gg3b6hpox4dph5h2ddrdlltnhvz8l/9qhzhdud0lozmgbz/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbXpuLnRvLzRhanFnUXE= ).) ​ But let's chat launch stats. ​ I hate when people tell you about huge launches, but not how they happened. ​ 💻 WEBINAR STATS: I only hosted one live webinar, Monday Feb 9. * registered: 11,000 * show-up rate: 25% * conversion (on webinar): over 5% (WILDLY above industry 'standard' of 1-2%) ​ 💸 SALES * Over 230 Bundles sold (we're still making some late sales as we speak) * 44% order bump conversion rate (we had 1 available for $99) ​ OK but I know what you're thinking now... ​ 🙄 "Sam probably spent $498,000 on Facebook ads to make $500k..." ​ Put your coffee down, . I don't want you to spit it out when I tell you this: ​ 🤑 AD SPEND: * Live Webinar Ad Spend = $22,611.89 * Sales Promo Ad Spend = $1,555.93 TOTAL LAUNCH AD SPEND = $24,167.82 ​ I spent $24k to make $500k. So you can't blame this on ads ;) ​ My only other launch-specific expenses were: * Zoom, because of our webinar size ($100); and * copywriting, for launch emails from my sales copywriter, Katelyn ($3200) ​ So what made this launch go so well? ​ 🧠 Top of mind: I rerecorded the Ultimate Bundle®️ in December, and documented the entire process on IG, giving me an opportunity to not just talk about the Bundle, but show it, too. ​ 📈 Trends: When my social media manager, Natasha, texted me about a TikTok terms of service trend, I hopped on it, recorded a simple reel, and made the call-to-action to sign up to my webinar. ​ 🖥️ Webinar content: I keep my webinars fluid. If there's a breaking legal update, I'll add it to my teaching content & lean into the urgency around the issue. ​ 🤳 VideoAsk: I started integrating VideoAsk into my webinar show-up sequence so people can send me videos/voicenotes/texts, letting me know what they want to see in the class. One: it gives me a TON of voice-of-customer/pain point research. Two: I send back personalized videos to hundreds of people, which creates a deeper connection (& improves show-up rates.) ​ 📱 Ads: our ads are really good, and my ads manager, Megha, is unbelievable at what she does. I treat my ads like an extension of social media. I put a ton of time into the concepts, filming, scripting, and editing the visuals/copy for them. ​ 📬 Emails: our emails are really good, and we integrate a ton of voice of customer research (we interview them a few times a year + I chat with them every single day, so I integrate word-for-word what they say). ​ One of the most common post-purchase survey comments? "I've been getting your emails forever, and I love them!" So it also goes to show how important long-term email nurture is. ​ I could literally go on and on... but I don't know how much you want to know ;) ​ What else do you want to know? How many emails I sent? Whether I used affiliates? What I'd recommend for beginners? ​ ​Send me all your questions here→ ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/xmu63e2gg3b6hpox4dph5h2ddrdlltnhvz8l/3ohphdu30ne4l7ip/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudmlkZW9hc2suY29tL2YwaGtkbHhzdg== )​ ​ ^ Feel free to send me a quick video, voice note, or text there! ^ ​ If I get a few questions, I'll do a Part 2 newsletter or podcast episode answering all of your questions. ​ Oh! And remember that bad news I had? Well... I hate to be the one to say it, but the #1 thing that helped me run a 4-day $500k launch was... ​ The culmination of so many things that built upon one another, over years and years of hard work. ​ I know everyone wants the "one thing" or secret that makes my launches go so well. I think the most honest answer is the least cool one: ​ 🔁 Repetition: I've talked about the Ultimate Bundle®️ every single week for the past 8 years ​ 🔨 A sh*t ton of hard work for the last 10 years in online biz ​ 😫 Showing up again & again, even when I was sick of talking about my offer and felt like I already said everything that needed to be said ​ 👯 Building a small-but-mighty team of incredible women, after years of doing it all myself, hiring mishaps, and learning how to be a leader ​ 💕 My Director of Ops, Lindsey, Slacked me over the weekend to say, "This is a testament to all the hard work you do between launches, honestly." I've built genuine relationships with cool people in the online biz world, who I can drop a text or email to saying, "Hey, can you promote my free training?" and they do. ​ So! ​ Not too shabby for a launch in my entrepreneur gap year 🤣 ​ What questions do you have? I'm all ears. Hit "reply."

​4 hours left to lock in the Ultimate Bundle at $900 off. ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/27uqx7zggxcoh8643k4u3hg338344hghq7km/dphwn4gmtmuevk4xr8al/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS91Yi1zYWxlLw== )​ Here’s the straight talk: If you’ve been circling the Bundle, you could shelve it one more time. Just know you won’t see that $900 discount again ‘til Starbucks is peppermint mocha-ing. ​ You could find a look-alike solution — but good luck finding one created by an attorney who literally specializes in online business. That’s a double-whammy unicorn. You could plant yourself in the info-gathering stage another month, but… why? You’ve got an incredible offer. A lot of people could be benefiting from it right now. You could ask ChatGPT to generate all your contracts and tell you what to do — but you’ll be left with “fake contracts” the judge will get a good chuckle over because they don’t hold up in court. ​You could try figuring it out solo. But every item would just lead you deeper down the rabbit hole. Things like “LLC or Sol Prop?”... where to get an EIN, and all the other stuff I teach using the simplest terms possible inside the Bundle. ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/27uqx7zggxcoh8643k4u3hg338344hghq7km/dphwn4gmtmuevk4xr8al/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS91Yi1zYWxlLw== )​ And even then, you’d have follow-up Qs. But because you’re not inside the Bundle, you won’t be able to post them inside our members-only community for my team and I to respond to. Or on the flipside… You could be like Bundle member Zee who considered DIY’ing it, then thought: “Sam has it all bundled and packaged together. I could take this at my own pace and have everything I need [for the future] contained in one place.” ​Plus, there’s the payment plan that lets you join for only $183 today — a payment plan that’s usually $249/mo AND saves you $792 when all is said and done. ​So it’s time to decide, . ​​Do you want to take your online business from zero to “set up as a properly formed business” using the Bundle?

The majority of entrepreneurs reading this email will archive it. As their $900 discount sunsets, not to be seen again until Winter 2027, they’ll let this timer run out: Here’s what they’ll say to themselves: I’ll consider the Bundle later if my business actually brings in income. Here’s what they’ll actually mean: I’m not convinced I’ll go all-in on this online business idea of mine. Because here’s the thing about the word “if.” It’s a big word, crammed into a small one. “If” gives them the wiggle room to… continue doom scrolling through other people’s online businesses, dubbing it as part of their R&D phase, ​when they could be using the Bundle to just set up their own. ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/o8un72drr7bqh6pgl2zcvhqwwgwrraohr7e4/m2hg0w2ph6u3vq4r02ul/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS91Yi1zYWxlLw== )​ “If” lets them settle for a handful of contracts from Legal Zoom because hey, having contracts makes them feel like they’ve done something for their future, ​when they could avoid the inevitable but-these-contracts-are-never-updated problem by investing in the Bundle. ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/o8un72drr7bqh6pgl2zcvhqwwgwrraohr7e4/m2hg0w2ph6u3vq4r02ul/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS91Yi1zYWxlLw== )​ The thing is — you’re not an “if” person. No. You’ve got a good feeling that this online business you’re thinking about is something you’ll actually take full-time. So even if you’ve got life stuff to handle right now… Even if you don’t plan to treat your online business like it’s your main plan for another 6 months to a year… I’ll bet your 2025 tax refund this sparks the motivation ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/o8un72drr7bqh6pgl2zcvhqwwgwrraohr7e4/m2hg0w2ph6u3vq4r02ul/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS91Yi1zYWxlLw== ) to ensure the W-2 you just got — is among the last you schlep to H&R Block. The Ultimate Bundle® tends to do that. “I did NOT realize how much of my procrastination about launching was due to unanswered questions about legalities. I feel completely blessed to have come across your program. Thank you!!” - Lauren, a happy Ultimate Bundle® member You’ve done a lot right to get this far, .

With a stack of bonuses like the business owners’ guide to taxes. And even though this decision window has you battling between... "Gah, I know I need this… but eesh… should I swing it?" and "Heck yes, I should. I’m doing something that literally requires legal protection. Can’t start my biz without it!” The feeling of deciding you’re gonna freakin’ do it — is pretty great. But ... It’s nothing compared to the peace of mind you’ll feel when… .. you hear another online entrepreneur get hit with a lawsuit because their website doesn’t comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, ​— but since you’ve slapped my ADA policy template on your website AND followed the compliance steps, you don’t sprout a single gray hair.

Instead, they spent 6 months, stuck in Google Purgatory, unsuccessfully piecing together how to start a legally compliant business ​— when your smart self got everything off the ground in like, one week using the Ultimate Bundle®.

$900 off the Bundle ends tomorrow night. So let’s get right on into it: Questions people ask before joining the Ultimate Bundle®. 🙌 Hopefully whatever’s keeping you from putting the $183 down required to lock in the Bundle is answered somewhere here. ⬇️ Is the Bundle just a bunch of contracts? Gosh no. The 10 core contracts are the tip of the iceberg. You’re also getting the 10 template walkthrough videos, explaining how to fill in your contracts (and what they mean). You’re also getting the “How to Start A Business” video series. This brings you from no business to one that’s fully formed and ready to go in 10 short steps. You’re also getting my training series on legal pitfalls like what to do if someone sues you (plus how to handle other legal annoyances like copycats). You’re also getting training on how to navigate your online business in general. Things like how to understand contracts other people send YOU, how to protect your privacy online and so much more. Plus access to our members-only community that allows you to ask my team and I questions. Basically, the Bundle consists of all the legal documents your online business needs — both now and down the road — plus a full education in starting and running an online business the right way. ​Sweet. Full knowledge on running an online business is just what I’m looking for. Sign me up! ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/o8un72drr7bqh6pwwllavhqwwgwrraohr7e4/08he0d45agu2v9wxkqbp/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS91Yi1zYWxlLw== )​ Will the Bundle teach me how to start an online business? Yes! Once you’re in, jump directly to section 1. You’ll see the 10-part video series. Start with Step One, aka what you need to do before registering your business, then follow the steps all the way through step ten which is protecting your content. If all you do is watch that video series, you’ll walk away with a fully formed business that’s ready to take payments. ​What? Sam walks me through how to start (and set up) my online business in 10 steps inside the Bundle? Count me in. ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/o8un72drr7bqh6pwwllavhqwwgwrraohr7e4/08he0d45agu2v9wxkqbp/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS91Yi1zYWxlLw== )​ I’m not starting my business for another 6-12 months, but I’m seeing people in my same boat buying the Bundle. Isn’t it too soon? The reason they’re likely doing this is two-fold… 1. They know that they get access to the Bundle for as long as it exists, so they’re locking it in now while it’s at the lowest price they’ll ever see. The Bundle is also updated in real time and they’ll get all future updates too. So they know that no matter what, they’ll have the most up-to-date version when it’s time to actually launch. 2. They know it’s never too soon to get A-Z info on how to start an online business. They prefer having everything at their fingertips so they can actually make moves if a client is randomly referred to them (happens all the time). Plus, they use the Bundle to actually get started. ​Ooo yeah. I also prefer to lock in the Bundle while it’s $900 off even if that means I don’t use it for another year. ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/o8un72drr7bqh6pwwllavhqwwgwrraohr7e4/08he0d45agu2v9wxkqbp/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS91Yi1zYWxlLw== )​ If I buy the Bundle now, can I still count it as a tax write-off — even if I haven’t officially started my business yet? Yep! You can buy the Bundle now and still count it as a business expense later… even if you haven’t started your business yet. Same goes if you don’t have a business credit card or business bank account yet. You can 100% buy the Bundle using your personal card, then learn how to set all that stuff up inside the Bundle, and then write it off retroactively. Just keep your receipt & submit it to your accountant! Also, if you choose the payment plan, you can update your credit card to your biz cc once you have it. ​Nice. I’m ready to join the Bundle now, then submit it as a tax write-off later. ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/o8un72drr7bqh6pwwllavhqwwgwrraohr7e4/08he0d45agu2v9wxkqbp/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS91Yi1zYWxlLw== )​ Does the Bundle come with help from real humans? Yes. Once you’re in, you’ll get to join our members-only community. It’s where Bundle members are posting all their Qs and stuck points as they crop up. Between me, my team and the 2,200+ other entrepreneurs in there, you’ll never have to be stuck on a customer issue or legal snafu for more than a day. ​Access to real humans as I embark on this online biz thing? Music to my ears. Take me to the enrollment page. ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/o8un72drr7bqh6pwwllavhqwwgwrraohr7e4/08he0d45agu2v9wxkqbp/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS91Yi1zYWxlLw== )​ Anything else that’s cool about it? All the lessons are available to you in private podcast form so you can listen on the go. I personally love that because if I can learn stuff while I’m rolling homemade pasta, I’m a happier human lol. You can also access transcripts etc. GAH. I’m ready! Remind me of the offer that’s currently on the table? Right now, when you join the Bundle, you’ll get.. 💸 $900 OFF when you pay-in-full 🤌 Access to a special 12-pay plan (start for $183 this month and save over $700 in the long run) 🤌 How To File a Trademark Video Walkthrough ($300 value)🤌 How To File a Copyright Video Walkthrough ($300 value) 💸 Business Owners’ Guide To Taxes secret podcast ep ($100) But all that goes away tomorrow at 11:12PM ET. And the price of the Bundle goes up $900 for good. ​Say no more — I’M IN.

I get it. It’s easy to punch into ChatGPT, Claude or any AI something like: I’m drafting a contract for a client. Can you create a clause that basically says x, y and z. Then you read what Chat spits out, thinking it sounds lawyer-level-firm, then confidently paste it into Dubsado. You instantly feel 10x more professional, right? Here’s why relying on AI-generated contracts is mega risky — ⚠️ AI can generate words that sound good. But in law, how something is written, where it’s written, and what it’s paired with matters just as much as what it says. So ChatGPT can generate language that “fake protects” you if a client doesn’t pay, but it’s just that — fake protection.🤷🏻‍♀️ Because though it sounds right, it might… * use outdated or incorrect legal language * fail to meet state-specific contract requirements * neglect to properly define key terms like “scope” or “payment default” * includes clauses courts routinely strike down * not cover you or the kind of work you’re doing online The result? You think you’re protected — until a judge says the clause is vague, overreaching, or unenforceable. ⚠️ AI misses clauses you don’t know how to ask for When it comes to contracts you don’t know what you don’t know, right? And why would you? You didn’t go to law school (I don’t blame ya and I’m sorta jealous 😅). ChatGPT can only respond to what you prompt. It won’t proactively say: * “Hey, you forgot an indemnification clause here” * “This needs a limitation of liability and a damages cap” * “This conflicts with your refund policy on your checkout page” * “This clause creates ambiguity with your Terms of Use” AI responds in isolation. Attorneys think in systems. ⚠️ Online business is weirdly specific. You’re dealing with things like digital delivery, instant access, IP licensing, chargebacks, monthly payments, platform terms (Stripe, PayPal, Kajabi, etc.) and multi-state and international buyers. Generic contract language often… ❌ assumes physical goods or in-person purchases ❌ assumes local transactions ❌ uses default jurisdiction language that backfires online So even if ChatGPT gives you a “contract,” it’s likely not specific to your online business whatsoever. ⚠️ AI contracts = you’re likely contradicting yourself up the whazoo You might generate a contract from ChatGPT, get a refund policy from a blog and make up terms of use from another prompt entirely. That’s not good. Because now you might have: * one document promising refunds * another saying all sales are final * one clause requiring arbitration * another allowing lawsuits If anything across your legal documents conflict, the court sides with the customer. There’s more, but hopefully you get the point. 😅 So yeah… ChatGPT can help you write words, but not necessarily ones that stand up in court. I’d rather you avoid all that. Hence why I’m nudging you towards the Bundle. You’ll get 10 core legal documents that are specific to online business, and drafted by an actual attorney who thought everything above (me👋).

Oy, . Flagging something that’s developing very quickly in the online business space ⚠️ — and it’s important you don’t ignore it. Over 4,000ish people have been served with lawsuits very recently. Not cease-and-desists. Not warning emails. Actual lawsuits showing up in their mailbox. Here’s what’s going on. Some woman and her attorney are poking around websites right now, uncovering that they’re not ADA compliant (ADA stands for Americans with Disabilities Act), and they're filing thousands of lawsuits across the country. They’re going for volume — small businesses, larger businesses, course creators, service providers… no one specific is being “targeted” beyond who looks easy to freak out. (I kinda think they’re doing this purely to create massive paydays for themselves if I’m honest.) Anyways — Beyond it being a legal requirement, it’s a good idea to make your website accessible anyways. Everyone deserves equal access and accommodations. I just wish this unfortunate scenario wasn’t the kick-in-the-butt to do it… One of my friends literally came home from a great business trip, feeling so excited about his business, and boom — lawsuit in the mail. Here’s the frustrating part: Legally speaking, in most of these cases, there are no financial damages actually available to the plaintiffs. The law is designed so that if your site isn’t accessible, you’re supposed to fix it. But here’s why this has turned into such a mess: If you fight one of these lawsuits, you could easily spend $20k–$30k in legal fees — even if you ultimately win. So instead, many people are doing the math and saying “I don’t have the time, money, or emotional bandwidth for this,” and they’re settling for a few thousand dollars just to make it go away. Don't quote me, but I’ve heard a lot are settling at $10k. Yeeeeesh. So while there’s no way to guarantee you’ll never get sued, there are two very clear things you can (and should) do to significantly reduce your risk. 1. Have a proper accessibility statement on your website This is not optional anymore. It needs to include specific legal language (not a generic placeholder). The statement itself is short — about half a page — and takes roughly a minute to add to your site once it’s written correctly. Every single person I know who has been sued did not have this. (An accessibility statement template is included in the Bundle.) 2. Make sure your website has required accessibility features That means your site needs tools and controls that allow people with disabilities to actually use it. This includes things like: * proper alt text on images, * keyboard navigation, * screen reader support, * ongoing audits as your site updates. Is it perfect? No. Is anything in this area perfect? Also no. But having both of these things in place puts you in a much stronger position — legally. And on that note… I’m self-conscious about this next transition because it sells my thing.🤷🏻‍♀️ But hey, as you know, the Ultimate Bundle® is on sale for $900 off plus a bunch of bonuses right now and yes, I included: ✅ an accessibility statement template (with the right language) ✅ a short training on how to make your website accessible super easily So if you need an extra push to grab, let that be it. This is becoming increasingly common in the online business world, and it’s happening fast. These lawsuits are designed to catch people off guard and pressure quick settlements. Please don’t wait until you’re dealing with this under stress. Take the time now to put these protections in place. And if you want to use the Bundle to do that, why not snag it before those fast-action bonuses expire tonight at 11:12pm EST: ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/v8upwk622wirhvlpr0zaghv00p0lls9hk6lq/08heelq9igu2vovo03hp/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS91Yi1ib251cy8= )​ ✓ 1 live Q&A Support call with Sam ($300 value) ✓ Podcast Guest Contract template ($347 value) ✓ Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) template ($399 value) ✓ Speaker Contract ($347) ✓ Retreat Contract ($398) I’ll continue to share updates as this evolves — but for now, those two steps are critical.

A referral sent them, and it’s official: you’re staring down the pipeline of your very first sale(!!) But mid-high five, anxiety sets in. “What next?” You frantically open the dashboard of the marketing course you enrolled in last year. “Hey guys! I might have my first client. What do I need in place before officially taking them on?” Responses roll in. Each one raises its own red flag. “I just Venmo’d my first client! Get the money in the door, figure the rest out later!” You know in your gut that’s a horrible idea. What if someone sues you for giving them “bad advice?” How do you invoice people legally? What if this new client steals all your ideas, then tries selling it as their own? That’s when it hits you. Someone should have answered only two questions that matter right now: 1.) How do you actually start an online business?! 2.) And how do you do it right?! The most frustrating part is… … you’re crazy talented … you KNOW you’d make a difference for this client But guessing your way through setting up your own online business? Because you’re so dang responsible, you’re about to pass up $4,000. It wasn’t supposed to be this way. You should be a confident business owner without glaring gaps in their knowledge. But what average person can actually say that for themselves? The thought comes as relief. You’re right. Most can’t. But some of them. Some did get fluent. Some actually know how to start an online business. The correct way. From the start. They too, started from square 1 — then made it their mission to learn it. Some became competent enough to turn their business dream into a traffic-slammed URL. Speckled with ™ signs because they know how to use it. So what’s keeping you in planning mode, too ill-prepared to seriously take on a client when one (inevitably) crosses your path? If your answer is…. → you’re waiting to get your biz foundations in place, but you can’t start because... → you don’t know what you don’t know, and… → you’re too terrified to DIY the legal stuff because you know you’d mess something up. Plus who in their right mind would piece-meal something as critical as a business’ foundation together using Google? #NotYou ​I highly recommend you join the Bundle while it’s $900 off (a discount that goes away Friday!)

So you’ve been playing with the idea of starting an online business. Maybe you’ve already started it. You know online business is the path you’re meant for. But oy vey is the ‘how to start an online business’ research phase dragging! And given that time freedom, financial freedom, and simply doing work you’re passionate about are SO close you can taste them… I’d argue that the research phase you’re wrapped up in… is taking too long.☝️ Seriously. After you exit this email, you should be firing up Zoom for your next client session. You should be flipping open PayPal to see new course sales. You should be spending the rest of the day, shooting YouTube videos and resizing thumbnails. And this way-too-long research period is stealing that from you. It wrongly convinced you that your online business will happen “someday soon.” And that’s totally unfair.

There are legal must-haves you need for your online business. End of sentence. And as online business becomes more and more of a thing — mistakes are becoming more obvious. Yes, the Federal Trade Commission has laws that apply to online business. Yes, there are things “everybody is doing” — that isn’t okay. Yes, there are people getting fined up to $10k for mishandling their email lists (when they had no idea they were mishandling them). And honestly I think it’s unfair. Not unfair that there’s a wrong way and right way to do things. That absolutely should be the case. But it’s unfair that online entrepreneurs… aka the smartest, most passionate, most unique, most ambitious humans out there… are forced to grope their way through the internet to figure it out. I mean, you’re out here, sifting through articles you wonder are outdated… trying to decipher what your state actually requires and what’s misinformation some influencer with no legal background scribbled. HOW IS THIS YOUR ONLY OPTION?? Can’t figuring out how to set up checkout pages be enough?? I think it should be.

The more time you spend info-gathering “how to start an online business,” the longer your online business stalls. 👏 So considering… → you’re incredibly gifted at what you do (and you deserve to make a living doing it) → 100s would pay for your services or products right now if your website was live → once your business is launched, you’ll need TIME to build your email list, get your name out there, and actually start seeing the money roll in Wouldn’t you say time is of the essence?

If I asked you: what part of your online business foundation is the least solid? What would you say, ? I’m not talking about your offers. More so the official stuff. The things your state requires. You know, the main markers between you having... 👉 a legitimate online business that’s set up correctly 👉 and an online operation that’s… questionable in the law’s eyes Harsh I know. But in true (Philly-born) attorney fashion, I’ve gotta call it like it is. The truth is, you and I were born during an interesting time… We have the internet. Even our litter boxes come with cameras and apps. And though that comes with ALL the opportunities in the world like the ability to generate income online working for yourself, information has never been less clear. On one hand, you’ve got an infinite scroll of information at your fingertips. 📲 On the other, you’ve got rabbit holes of misinformation with no real filter for what’s flat-out wrong.

If you read last week’s email, , you already know… I’ve started an initiative for you and the 55,000 others on this list to declare February 9th the day you get yourself up to speed about the legal side of your business (or future business). 👏 To simply get informed. To pull your head out of the sand when it comes to “all that scary legal stuff.” 100s have already replied, telling me they're excited to sign up when registration opens this Monday. Wanna join us, ? I def recommend making that decision now. Once I send the link to enroll, spots will fill up fast (and yes, there’s a cap on attendees). Because I’ll be honest… unless you’re one of the beloved Type A’s on my list who are too frozen to even make one Instagram post, announcing what they do online before properly forming their business (which is actually the right thing to do), no one WILL EVER make getting your legal stuff in place urgent. You have to be the one to prioritize it. And I want to help you do that, . So here’s the deal. This Monday, January 26th, I’ll send you a link to sign up for my free class (that’s being held on February 9th): How to Legally Protect Your Online Business in 2026: 5 simple steps every entrepreneur must take (before it’s too late) The law does, in fact, crack down on online business. You’ve gotta get informed about it. ❌ HERE’S WHO DOES NOT NEED TO SIGN UP: Anyone who’s already inside the Ultimate Bundle® (or something like it), and has done a dozen (or so) things to ensure their business is 100% up to legal snuff. They’re also the person who has a reliable source, updating them in real time about any legal changes. ​ ✅HERE’S WHO I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SIGNS UP: Everyone else. Sorry, some things just are that black-or-white! 🤦🏻‍♀️ And I kinda think you already know which category you’re in. Online business is regulated. You’ve gotta get informed about how to do it right. Designate 90 mins in February to become knowledgeable about the legal stuff you need inside your business with me. If that’s ALL you get out of this class — my work here is done. We did this last year and attendees were SO GLAD they said enough is enough, clicked a link exactly like this, and popped Jan 26th into their calendar so they could sign up for the free class the moment enrollment opened.

When you joined my email list, I told myself,“Ok Sam… don’t scare off with legal talk right away. Ease them in. Be cool.” 😅 ​ But today? ​ I’m dropping the cool act. ​ Because you didn’t join an attorney-turned-entrepreneur’s list by accident. ​ You’re here because something nudged you. Unfortunately, it was fueled by anxiety — which is very on-brand for anything in the legal realm. 🤦🏻‍♀️ ​ But hey, there’s a quiet upside to that.👇 ​ It puts you among the rare few who realize the seriousness of building a business correctly. You know there could be repercussions if you don’t. You don’t want to build your business on jenga blocks. ​ So let me ask you an honest question: ​ Have you made use of the info I’ve provided you so far... or no? Confronting question, I know. ​ But I don’t think you’re here to just skim and delete. I think you’re serious about figuring out exactly what your online business needs legally — then legitimately put everything in place. ​ So can we do that? ​ Can we make February the month you stop info-gathering your legal obligations like crazy… and just get the info you need straight from the horse’s mouth? ​ You don’t have to implement everything yet. ​ Just get informed. Know what’s required. ​ Know what could land you in hot water (and what’s an easy 10-minute fix). ​ Because hey, we don’t learn the legal stuff because it’s fun. ​ We learn it because NOT knowing it has consequences. ​ So here’s my proposal: ​ On Monday, February 9th, I’m teaching a free LIVE legal class called: ​ ​How to Legally Protect Your Online Business in 2026: 5 simple steps every entrepreneur must take (before it’s too late) ​ ​I’ll walk you through 5 major things your online business needs, especially if you’re already accepting money (or plan to). ​ But it’ll be a total waste of breath unless you’re willing to make one teeny commitment: Show up. ​ 90 mins (ish). ​ One afternoon in February. ​ One decision to stop letting the “I don’t know what I don’t know” cloud hang over your business. ​ Deal? ​ Enrollment for the free class starts January 26th (the live class itself will be February 9th): ​ 👉 Click here to set a reminder.

No matter how saturated you think the online space is becoming, it’s still the first place people scurry the second they hit a problem. ​ I meannnnn, the amount of dirt Google has on us is… comical. 🤣 ​ “Why isn’t he texting me back?” “Are eggs okay if I have IBS?” “How do I ask for a raise without being awkward?” “Can caffeine cause eye twitching?” “What should I do with my life??” “How do I get rid of fruit flies?” ​ Thing is — my email list is FULL of people who know how to hack through those problems (and more). And they’re so good at it, they wanna turn the thing they’re passionate about into an online business. ​ But the crappy thing stalling their momentum? ​ Analysis paralysis — particularly when it comes to figuring out which legal foundations their future businesses need. ​ So can we nip that in the bud already?? ​ Twice a year, 1,000s of entrepreneurs come together to meet with me live. ​ 🗓️The first 2026 live legal class goes down on February 9th. ​ We pause our Google rabbit holes, acknowledging that they only lead to more of Pandora’s box. 🙄And we officially end the info-gathering stage of “how to start an online business.” Instead, everyone flat-out learns the 5 major things they’ll need from day one. A real pull-your-head-outta the sand moment for everyone! ​ So if starting your business is stuck in neutral, let’s make Monday, February 9th the day you shift the gear to drive. ​ ✅ Class happens live Monday, Feb 9th ✅ ($0) Enrollment for class begins Jan 26th at 10AM ET → click here to get notified the moment enrollment for Feb’s free class opens ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/p9u25gkzz5i9h2r9400iqhpdkx933hrhmv4g/p8hehqu48vdk08fr/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9zYXZlLXRoZS1kYXRlLw== )​ P.S. popping Jan 26th into your calendar does not sign you up for my free class.

​ ​ ******************* We've Lost the Plot ******************* ​ I swear I left an imprint on the couch. ​ I spent most of the past two weeks squarely planted on it -- mostly watching Knife Edge, a new Apple+ series that follows restaurants chasing Michelin stars. ​ You can learn a lot from that show. Not even about food. But what happens when you get so focused on outside awards and vanity metrics that you lose the plot. ​ Some of the restaurants on the show won the star (or three!) they so desperately wanted, but others didn't. ​ The restaurants that didn't win tended to have something in common: ​ ⭐ They were more focused on getting the star than they were on their customers or the food they served them. They let the pressure of something arbitrary burn their love for cooking -- and it showed. ​ They forgot why they started their restaurants. (Fun fact: the ones who only opened restaurants to win a star? They never got one.) ​ As they sautéed shallots and basted fish with more butter than a Red Lobster cheddar biscuit, they forgot about the people actually eating their food. ​ Honestly? It reminded me of how easy it is to do the same thing in business. ​ You can get caught up in follower counts, revenue numbers, and how many clients you have... ​ And forget that you won't have any of that -- at least for long -- if you don't prioritize your customers and achieve the trifecta: create a product that's needed, wanted, and actually works. ​ For me, AI tools pull me away from all of this ^. ​ AI can be helpful. ​ But using it makes me second-guess myself. ​ Sure, I can train AI to "know my customer." I can feed it every pain point I've ever heard. ​ But there’s a difference between knowing your customer — and actually connecting with them. ​ Your customer also isn't a static, one-size-fits-all computer model. ​ They're a person. ​ With real feelings, experiences, hurts, and wants. ​ Getting too obsessed with AI's version of "what works" is a bit like cooking for the Michelin inspector instead of the people actually eating in your restaurant. ​ I've always chosen to cook for the people... which is why I think my 'restaurant' is always full. ​ In my new podcast episode ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/27uqx7zggxcoh8l8x09h3hgz5m744hghq7km/7qh7h2u93736xpa9/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9pcy1haS1xdWlldGx5LWtpbGxpbmctbXktY3JlYXRpdml0eS8= ) I explore whether AI is killing my creativity and how I've seen it both help and hurt my business this past year. ​ I'm not completely against AI -- my friends freak out when I tell them about the ways we use it to shortcut tasks, maximize our reach on social, etc. ​ But there's also an AI line I won't cross anymore (ie, writing Sidebar emails like these, planning my podcast episodes, any original content, etc.). ​ Two things can be true at once: AI can be useful — and I still crave your original POV more than anything. ​ I'm curious what you think, . Hit "reply" and let me know. I reply to everything you send me. ​ To hear more about how I use AI in my business and how I absolutely refuse to use it -- listen to my podcast, On Your Terms®️ on Apple ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/27uqx7zggxcoh8l8x09h3hgz5m744hghq7km/p8hehqu48082p9ur/aHR0cHM6Ly9wb2RjYXN0cy5hcHBsZS5jb20vdXMvcG9kY2FzdC8yNzAtaXMtYWktcXVpZXRseS1raWxsaW5nLW15LWNyZWF0aXZpdHkvaWQxNTc2NDIzMjQ4P2k9MTAwMDc0Mzc5OTU4MQ== ), Spotify ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/27uqx7zggxcoh8l8x09h3hgz5m744hghq7km/kkhmh2un4q45o6ak/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL2VwaXNvZGUvNzk2MzhjeGRZY0ZkY1hrWDJWR1R2bj9zaT1iZmQ1OGRjNDExNzA0ZjQ1 ), or my website ( https://eedda0a7.click.convertkit-mail4.com/27uqx7zggxcoh8l8x09h3hgz5m744hghq7km/7qh7h2u93736xpa9/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtdmFuZGVyd2llbGVuLmNvbS9pcy1haS1xdWlldGx5LWtpbGxpbmctbXktY3JlYXRpdml0eS8= ). ​ Talk soon!
