A big change...

Ever had a big goal, but the day-to-day keeps sucking all your time?

That’s been me for 14 years.

You haven’t heard from me for a little while because I’ve been asking myself some big questions about my future. That’s why I’m writing this today.

I’ve believed for a long time that small businesses are the key to making the world better.

I know that might sound strange, but it’s true for me.

I got my break in life through working for and starting a small business. It changed my life, shifted my mindset, and helped me raise other people’s horizons too.

I don’t believe governments have the answers.
I believe solopreneurs and business owners do.

Unfortunately, we get a terrible rap because of some of the excesses of capitalism. But most business owners I meet are purpose-driven and have a mission. They are not greedy, exploitative, or toxic (despite what the media and increasingly LinkedIn says).

They want to do good for themselves, their families, and their communities.

When a (good) small business does well, that money spills out into the community. It creates opportunity for others.

So, why am I telling you this?

Because I want to invite you to join me on a journey - a journey to help a million businesses grow.

I’m one person, so to make this happen, I need to scale myself through online content - and I’ll need your help.

I’ll be creating more:

• Podcasts

• Newsletters

• Video content

I’m going to give the house away through my content to help people, focusing on three key areas:

1. Mindset - How to grow yourself so you can grow your business.

2. Marketing - Practical tips to help you implement marketing that gets you clients.

3. Money - How to make more money in your business so you can enjoy it.

To achieve this, I’m simplifying what I’m doing to scale and stay focused on my mission.

What’s changing for me:

I’m merging Growth Titans Newsletter and Signal Newsletter together.

Nothing changes for you:

• Free subscribers? Your subscription rolls over.

• Paid subscribers? Your subscription rolls over too. You’ll also get more practical content and exclusive access to AMA calls on Zoom.

How you can help:

1. Sign up for a paid subscription (if you’re not already).

2. Like, share, and comment on my content - it helps me navigate the algorithm.

3. Let’s connect - business can be lonely, and I’d love more connection with you.

I’ll be transferring subscribers manually to the new Signal Newsletter later this week, so if you see an email from me, it’s not junk - it’s me. 🙂

Here’s to a great 2025 and all that we’ll do together.

Watch this space.
