Reader, It's 9.17pm on Sunday as I'm writing this newsletter that I should have sent by 9am today. And I really didn't feel like doing this when it's almost my bedtime for an early morning start tomorrow at 4.45am. Then I remind myself - this effort is the work that's building my dream. One brick at a time. One email at a time. So here we are! Today's topic is about owning your story. Because your story has value.

Here’s the truth I’ve learned: Building a business is less about the *perfect* strategy and more about who you’re becoming...
Hello Reader, Six years ago, at my dad’s wake, I kept hearing his voice ask me a single, haunting question: 'What will your legacy be?' That question changed the trajectory of my life. Two weeks later, I incorporated my business - not because I had it all figured out, but because I didn’t want fear to dictate my future. Today I honor my dad's 6th death anniversary with this week’s podcast, From Grief to Growth: How My Dad’s Words Shape My Business and how he continues to guide me. I share:...
Hello Reader, Ever set a big goal, then life got in the way?The sick kid. The late nights at work. The weekend that disappeared in errands. That used to throw me completely off. I’d feel like I 'failed' and wonder if I’d ever make my business work. Until I discovered the secret: systems. Systems are what keep me moving, even when everything else falls apart.
