Are You Frustrated with Your Online Business? You want real progress, but instead it feels like you’re juggling too many things at once. One week it’s a new tactic, the next it’s a different tool, and before you know it you’ve stopped, started, and second-guessed yourself into a standstill, while everyone else seems to be moving ahead. You’re not the only one stuck in this cycle. I’ve been there too. I know what it’s like to pour in the effort,

Most entrepreneurs lie to themselves about progress. They say things like: “I’ll get serious in January.” “Once the holidays pass, I’ll have more time.” “I’ll plan everything during the break, then start fresh.” If that mindset worked, you’d already be where you want to be. But you’re not. Most entrepreneurs lose entire years this way because they treat time like a luxury instead of a decision. If you want real business growth in 2026, you don’t wait for the calendar—you

If running your online business feels like one never-ending to-do list, it’s because it is. There’s always something. You’ve got blog posts to write, emails to send, social content to plan, products to build, offers to tweak, and affiliate links to manage. And once you think you’ve caught up, something shifts—an algorithm changes, a launch pops up, or you remember you were supposed to be building out a lead magnet two weeks ago. You’re not lazy. You’re just overloaded. The

My wife and I recently took a family trip to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone area. One of the highlights of our trip was taking a ride on a tram from Teton Village outside of Jackson, Wyoming to the top of Rendezvous Mountain. The Jackson Mountain Resort website promised a great adventure. “In just 12 minutes, the Aerial Tram glides skyward 4,139 vertical feet. The summit offers staggering 360-degree views of the Tetons, Jackson Hole Valley, and surrounding mountain ranges.

Memorial Day passed a few weeks ago. Most people have moved on—and that’s fine. I usually celebrate Memorial Day like most people. We often have family activities, including a cookout. Hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad. That sort of thing. I’m most definitely grateful for those service men and women that made the ultimate sacrifice so we could enjoy the freedoms we enjoy. Most years that’s about the extent of my Memorial Day celebrations. But this year was different. For some

Have you ever watched young children do pretty much anything? It doesn’t matter if they’re in a group or by themselves. In general, they seem to have no fear whatsoever! Take my grandson Calvin for instance. Calvin is seven. He’s autistic. But he has absolutely no fear. If he wants to ask someone something, he asks! My wife and I recently took Calvin and his younger brother Bennett to church with us. As we were walking into church, I introduced

Let’s talk about something a lot of online entrepreneurs don’t say out loud: This is hard! When you’re building a business—especially one that relies on content—you’re expected to be a one-person machine. You’re the strategist, the writer, the editor, the marketer, the designer, and the tech support. Everywhere you look, people are saying “Just show up consistently!” Sure. That sounds great in theory. But no one talks about what that really looks like when you’re also working a job, raising

Ever wonder why some entrepreneurs push through failure while others quit? It’s not luck—it’s purpose. Building an online business can be exhausting. The grind, the uncertainty, the constant hustle—it’s easy to get caught up in chasing numbers. But the ones who keep going aren’t just chasing profits; they’re driven by something deeper—a purpose. Imagine you’re grinding away at your business, putting in the hours, but something feels off. You start wondering—why am I even doing this? Without a clear ‘why,’

In yesterday’s challenge, we talked about the power of writing down your business goals and how it makes you 10 times more likely to achieve them. If you haven’t done that yet, go back and complete that step first, it’s a game-changer! But setting goals isn’t enough. If you want real growth, you must push past what feels safe and comfortable. Think back to a time when you experienced real growth—whether in business, your personal life, or another area. Chances
