In today's issue:

Let me hit you with a truth bomb that might sting a little:

The thing you're avoiding is the thing that's killing your momentum.

You already know what I'm talking about. That hard conversation, that business pivot, that uncomfortable move you keep pushing to “next week.” Maybe you’ve even convinced yourself you're “gathering more info.” Cute.

But here’s the truth: you’re not researching—you’re hiding.

I used to be the king of mental gymnastics. I'd loop around a decision until I was dizzy with analysis paralysis. That is… until I learned this from Jim Camp’s book Start With No:

“You are only one decision away from getting back on track.”

Read that again. That’s not just a quote. That’s a damn lifeline.

Let me give you a real-world case. One of my friends—let’s call him “Mark”—has been in the game for a while. Knows the ropes. Made decent money. But right now? He’s stuck.
Why?

Because he brought a dysfunctional sibling into his home. The kind who comes with financial baggage and a free-loading attitude, not to mention a kid of their own. And Mark? He’s got a wife and daughter already dealing with medical issues.

His house is a pressure cooker. His marriage is teetering. And he knows—KNOWS—the right move is to kick the sibling out.
But he won’t do it.

Instead, he dances around the decision. Tries to compromise. Negotiates. Hopes it’ll work itself out.

Spoiler alert: It won’t!

See, when you avoid the uncomfortable, it doesn’t go away. It festers. It drains you. It makes you susceptible to every shiny object, every distraction, every damn Facebook ad promising overnight success.

I’ve been there too. Whenever I find myself stuck—can’t write, can’t think, can’t produce—I ask one simple question:

“What am I afraid to do right now?”

And once I’ve got the answer?
I do the thing.
Even if it’s awkward.
Even if it hurts.
Even if it’s messy as hell.

Because not making the decision is always worse than making the wrong one.

Want to grow? Want to move forward? Then stop waiting for perfect clarity and start taking imperfect action. The decision won’t make itself—and life sure as hell won’t wait.

Let’s talk about one of the biggest mental landmines you’ll ever face in business (and life): The people closest to you not believing in you…

It’s wild, right? You finally muster the courage to break free from the 9-to-5 zombie apocalypse, and instead of a cheerleading squad, you get a firing squad. Mom thinks you’re having a midlife crisis. Dad wants you to “go back to construction.” Your best friend thinks online business is just a scam with better fonts.

Welcome to the arena.

If you’ve ever felt like your dreams were too much for the people around you, congrats—you’re probably onto something.

See, most people don’t want you to succeed. Not really. If you do, it forces them to confront their own lack of action. Their own excuses. Their own regrets. It’s way easier for them to pull you down than it is to lift themselves up.

And that’s why you can’t listen to them.

Here’s the brutal truth: if you’re taking advice from broke, bitter people…you’ll end up broke and bitter too. So stop. Seriously. Shut it out.

Get what I call the “Shut-Up Check.” It’s the first win that makes the haters go quiet. You hold up that check—literal or metaphorical—and suddenly your critics become real quiet. Funny how success mutes opinion.

But it gets better.

You don’t need permission from anyone. Not your parents. Not your spouse. Not your third cousin who once tried dropshipping. The only person who has to believe in you is…you.

And when you finally start racking up those small wins? Your mindset shifts from “Can I do this?” to “Who the hell is gonna stop me?”

So yeah, it’s uncomfortable. Yeah, it’s lonely at times. But you know what else is lonely? Regret.

Take the shot. Ignore the noise. Get your shut-up check. Then do it again.

Unlock the keys to effective business structuring, master tax optimization, and learn how to build solid business credit in this enlightening discussion. 

Gain crucial insights into protecting your assets and enhancing profitability, whether you’re starting fresh or scaling up. 

Dive into this episode for practical advice and essential strategies that every entrepreneur needs to thrive in today’s competitive business landscape. 

Here’s a book that’s going to make some people squirm—and that’s exactly why you should read it.

Get Rich or Lie Trying is a punch-in-the-gut exposé of the dark side of hustle culture, influencer grift, and the fake-it-till-you-scam-it world we’re all scrolling through on social media. Brown doesn’t hold back. He goes deep into the ugly underbelly of Instagram "success stories," crypto carnivals, and online gurus promising the moon in a click funnel.

And let me tell you—it’s the perfect read for anyone building a real online business.

Why? Because this book is a mirror. It forces you to ask:
Am I chasing impact… or just impressions?

In a world where everyone’s selling the dream, Get Rich or Lie Trying reminds you that the truth still matters. Integrity still matters. And getting rich without losing your soul? That’s the real flex.

Read this book if you want a BS detector sharper than a fresh scalpel—and if you want to make damn sure you never become the villain in your own story.

I watch your pupils and where you stare,

I track the clicks and what’s “not there.”

Marketers love me, I don’t need to ask—

I read your mind by reading the task.

What am I?
