Four Terrifying Words

I made a thing. I'm pretty sure that's the most terrifying sentence I ever utter, Reader. Does it feel the same for you? A blog post, a course, a workbook, a new 1-1 offer.....urghhh that moment when it stops being a secret you keep on your laptop, and gets released out into the world is hard. Last weekend Sons #1 and 2, and I went to a video games festival, and there were a handful of new games available for testing, with the developers standing by for feedback. I was in awe of their bravery and resilience. I find it so scary emailing you to announce 'I made a thing', that as soon as I've done it I will immediately shut my laptop and self-soothe with popcorn and Netflix. HOW, just HOW, were they able to stand there and hear the feedback about their precious new game, right there in actual person 😱😲🫨🤯???? So if they can do that, I can do this..... 📢 I made a thing. It's the Sales Sleuth Sidekick - it's an interactive tool to help you investigate any offer (service, course, product) that isn't selling as well as you'd like. It's a customGPT so you'll need an OpenAI account to access it (a free one will do). It goes with the Sales Sleuth course (free) that I've had for a little while - which you can access here.​ Or you can jump directly into chatting with the Sales Sleuth Sidekick here. If you use it, please reply with your feedback because P.S. I just added a new Copy Quest to the All Access Pass - the Welcome Sequence Copy Quest - to help you write 3 emails that boost engagement, open rates and sales. If you're a Passholder you've already got access. If you're not yet a Passholder, you can buy the All Access Pass here (the new Copy Quest isn't on the sales page yet, but it is in the course library). ​ ​ |

Little diced potatoes roasted in garlic, salt, pepper, and olive oil is a solid favourite in this house Reader. And every time I cook them, Every Time, I'll sneakily pop a piece of fresh-from-the-oven potato right into my mouth. Every Time. It hurts so much. I try to be patient and wait. I wave the potato around in the air to cool it down. But my reward system (like everyone else's) fires faster and louder than my pain-warning system. And my brain also throws in a little bit of optimism bias,...
Whenever I hear the phrase GCSEs I instantly think of the (epic) music video for Daft Punk’s Around The World. I couldn’t revise in silence. Summer of '97, I did most of my studying lying flat on my belly on the living room carpet, with MTV on, for the full 6 hours of bliss whenever everyone else was out of the house (I’m the eldest of 4 kids). Angst-riddled parents fretfully told me ‘you can’t possibly concentrate like that’ a few dozen times - but it was the only way I could concentrate. 28...
What small thing causes you disproportionate rage discomfort Reader? Me? I HATE the feeling of my hair touching my neck. HATE it. Yes, captial letter, actually shouting HATE it. And because I like to have my hair short, even putting it in a ponytail brings no relief because the hair at the back of my head is was too short to tie up. As the weather warmed up in May, I decided I wanted to get an undercut (have the hair at the nape of my neck shaved really short). I didn’t do it because: 1. I am...
