October 19MOTM #739: Is the Online Business Window Closing?
Change is inevitable in all things, and that includes online business. The internet space of the early pandemic space doesn’t exist anymore, but success is still more than possible. New inputs and “disruptors” are going to come and go all the time and they’ll keep changing how things are done, but that’s not a death sentence. The window to online business success is still open, you just have to stay in the game long enough to win.

October 12MOTM #738: Make Content You Actually Care About
Going viral is a fun idea, but it’s never going to be a good way to build a business. The algorithm is a creativity destroyer, and trying to chase it is the quickest way to ensure that your business has no lasting power. When you create stuff that you like—stuff that’s meaningful to you—you stick with it. And when you stick with it, you win.

October 05MOTM #737: Should You Start Another Instagram Account?
I see a lot of people in the online business space feeling like they have a “weird relationship” to and with Instagram. Look, I love IG and the way it can help people build their dream future lives, so I’m always going to advocate for doing whatever it is you need to do in order to keep showing up. I’m also aware that you’re gonna do what you want to do, so if that’s the case, let’s get clear on why you want a second account and the best ways you can manage that work load for yourself.

September 28MOTM #736: What to Do If You Run Out of Things to Talk About
Sometimes you get hit with creation constipation. We’ve all been there. But just because your brain is dead, doesn’t mean your business is, and the show must go on. You gotta start with understanding the “why” you have nothing to day before you know which “how” you’ll need to fix it, but the good news is, you have options.

September 21MOTM #735: Gender Roles or General Bullshit?
I've got thoughts! It’s 2026 and somehow there are still people out in the world claiming that “traditional” gender roles are the only way. If those gender norms flip your pancake, then by all means, keep on keeping on. But I do believe that that the patriarchy screws everyone, every path is possible for everyone, and breaking the binary is a great start when it comes to solving the problems that plague so many people.

September 14MOTM #734: Playing It Safe Is Risky
There’s nothing wrong with having a corporate job or working for someone else for your entire career, but make no mistake, that isn’t always the “safe” option. When you work for someone other than yourself, there’s always a chance of losing your job for any number of reasons: downsizing, companies selling, companies going under, etc, etc. But when you’re self-employed, your livelihood is only dependent on you, and you can always figure out new ways to make money. If you love your corporate job, by all means, stay there. All I’m saying is that “playing it safe” by depending on a corporation for income isn’t always the safest option.

September 07MOTM #733: What to Do if You Hate Launching
If you’re not selling, you don’t have a business. So, if you hate launching, you’re either going to have to rely entirely on paid ads (which I don’t recommend) or you’re going to have to figure out how to make peace with running a launch every now and then. In my experience, people hate launching for one of two reasons. Once you can verbalize why you hate launching, you can figure out how to overcome those issues and make launching work for you.

August 31MOTM #732: You Gotta Ask First
If there’s one thing you need to know in online business, it’s this: never wast your time and energy making something before you know that someone wants to buy it. Sure, strategy is sexy, but it’s meaningless until you can be sure of demand.

August 24MOTM #731: There’s Nothing New
There’s nothing new on the internet, no secret strategy you’re missing that’s preventing you from having success online… and that’s a good thing. Every successful internet business owner is using the same playbook that everyone else is using. Maybe that seems nihilistic or negative to you, but I see it as a great thing. Once you have the basics mastered, all that’s left to do is keep going, keep trying, and keep making things until you find the thing that there’s demand for.

August 17MOTM #730: Everyone’s Trying to Sell You Something
Everyone is always trying to sell you something. I get it, and I’m not always opposed to it—I sell things all the time—but sometimes I absolutely hate it. There’s no such thing as an “objectively” right or wrong way to do anything, and if someone is telling you so, all they care about is getting your monies. At the end of the day, you’re a grown up and you can do whatever you want. Buy things and sell things with reckless abandon, as long as you know that not every marketer out there has your best intentions in mind.
