What's stuck?_

And, why most marketing isn't as hard as you think.

Welcome back,

A question to start the day.

What's stuck in your business right now?

Not what you think I want to hear.
Not the polished version.
The real thing.

The bit that keeps you working longer hours for the same money.
The bit that makes you think "there has to be a better way."
The bit you're not sure how to fix.
The bit you're really worried about for 2026.

Hit reply and tell me.

ps_

I put a "let's talk" kind of thing at the bottom of most emails and I wonder if you actually take it seriously. I mean it. Tell me what's stuck and I'll do what I can to help.

Something I wrote_

Same session. Three prices →

FYI _ this⇲ is the session.

Something I found_

Not sure where to start?

Small shifts matter more than big reveals.

Something else_

A dirty little marketing secret:
Most marketing that looks flashy & makes you feel like an imposter... doesn't actually get results.
Good marketing is often boring, consistent & definitely something you can learn.
The bar isn't as high as you think.
- Jeremy Enns

That's it for this issue.

See you in 3 days_
