How BJ went from $5k/mo to $19k/month in 90 days!!

Hey Reader, Today, I want to talk about how BJ’s Product Manager (PM) coaching business went from $5k/mo to $19k/mo within 3 months. BJ is a product manager turned coach. He is a 40-year-old dad of 6. YEP 6! He coaches PMs on how to get promoted. He dreamed of one thing: replace his salary so he could coach full-time. But… He struggled to acquire consistent clients He wasn’t sure which service to focus on Hated marketing & social media He had limited time for his family, job, and business We...

Hey Reader, Today, I want to share how focusing on my health has helped me survive over the past four years. Ultimately, allowing my business to reach $10k/month. As Alex Hormozi says, Over the last four years, I’ve hit every low point: Family and friends saying, “This won’t work.” Realizing my first business wasn’t viable No sales calls. < $1000 in my account Clients asking for refunds Telling my mom, I felt like a loser Every time, I felt like curling into a ball and calling it quits. But I...

Hey Reader, Today, I’m sharing how ADHD meds changed my life. I went from detention every week to straight As as a chemical engineer on scholarship at USC. Now, I'm a $10k/mo founder. Unfortunately, I eventually became dependent on ADHD meds, causing me to fall asleep at the wheel and crash my car. The sign took off my mirror and door handle. This scared the shit out of me! ADHD meds are a powerful tool, but they are like training wheels. They started my journey, but later held me back from...

Hey Reader, Today, I want to talk about how to book consistent calls and hit $10k/mo. When I launched my business, I struggled to make money. I didn’t know how to find leads. So, I posted content. I had 3 - 4 viral Reddit posts that generated a few $100/mth subscriptions, but it was inconsistent. It left me wondering How will I make any money? Does my idea suck? How can I iterate on my product if I don’t have users? Even worse, I almost ran out of money multiple times. Posting content is a...

Hey Reader, Today, I want to talk about how bad habits will steal all your time. This is an updated version of a post I made on Reddit! Bad habits are like slow leaks in a tire. You won’t see the damage right away. But they'll slow you down and leave you stranded. You can fill your tire with air, but it will eventually deflate again. When I had bad habits, I was constantly putting out fires that I created for myself. It felt like the world was stacked against me, but I was actually doing the...

Hey Reader, Today, I want to talk about how to keep your business alive. Your first idea probably won’t work, and that doesn’t mean your business career is over. You stay alive by trying something new, also known as a pivot. When you pivot, you change the Product Target audience or problem Business Model To some degree, your business should always be evolving. As you work, you will gain a deeper understanding of your users, product, and market. To win, you want to apply those learnings....

Hey Reader, Today, I want to talk about how to gain control of your emotions. As ADHDers, we feel a rollercoaster of emotions, typically deriving from childhood traumas. As Dr.Hallowell and Dr.Ratey state in Driven to Distraction, Their [ADHDers] moods can be quite unstable, going from high to low in the bat of an eye for no apparent reason. In my 20s, my emotions were unstable. For example, from 2018 - 2020, I ruined all my birthdays. Was I drinking? Of course! I already have a big mouth,...

Hey Reader, Today, I want to talk about how to build a good solution. A good solution solves users’ problems so well that they pay for it. I wasted a year figuring that out. Ultimately, I built a bad solution that was too advanced and didn’t generate revenue. I spent a year working in a silo instead of launching and giving it to users right away. Great solutions don’t come from pontification; they come from repetition and iteration. So launch fast and ask for feedback faster. As Paul Graham...

Hey Reader, Today, I want to discuss how to stop constant ups and downs. When I started my ADHD journey, I started the month planning my day, answering emails, and waking up on time—all the good habits. By mid-month, I felt great. My side projects gained momentum, and I received compliments at work. I thought I was finally making a change. By the end of the month, I’d come crashing down, scolding myself, “I knew it was too good to be true.” In reality, I developed a habit of relaxing once I...

Hey Reader, Today, I want to talk about the most important milestone in starting a business. If you don’t do this, you’ll waste a year while building your business. That's what happened with my first business, Breadcrumbs, doing things like Forming my C-Corp Open a business bank account Setting up my website Building a product Surprisingly, none of these are the most important things. Don’t get me wrong, they’re important, but still not the most important. The most important thing is...
