πŸŽ“ A Big Week for Our Family (And a Lesson in Taking Big Steps)

Happy Monday! Hope you had a fantastic weekend.

This week is extra special in our householdβ€”our daughter is graduating from high school on Thursday! πŸŽ‰ We are beyond proud of her and all the hard work, growth, and determination that’s brought her to this moment. It feels like just yesterday we were helping her with her ABCs, and now we’re preparing to watch her walk across the stage and start a new chapter on her journey to become a veterinarian.

Milestones like these always make me pause and reflect.

We’re so excited for her future because she’s doing something that matters to herβ€”something she’s passionate about. And isn’t that what we’re all trying to do? Whether it’s raising a family, building a business, or chasing a dream, we each have a path to follow, and every step matters.

Watching her get to this point reminded me of how building an online business is a lot like going through school. You don't start out knowing everything. You show up, learn a little at a time, and take imperfect action along the way. You study. You mess up. You get back up. But most importantlyβ€”you keep going.

Your breakthrough might not come with a cap and gown, but every small win you achieveβ€”every new subscriber, every piece of content, every course you finishβ€”is part of YOUR graduation story. So whatever stage you’re at, keep going. Celebrate how far you’ve come.

Just like our daughter took the leap toward her dream of graduating and now wanting to become a vet, I encourage you to lean into the next step of your dream too. You never know how far it will take youβ€”but I promise, it’s worth the journey.

Congrats to All of the Class of 2025!

πŸ€ The Michael Jordan Meeting That Almost Didn’t Happen (And Why You Should Show Up)

Let me tell you a story about a man named… Michael Jordan. Maybe you’ve heard of him? πŸ˜‰

But here’s what you might not know:

Back when MJ was just a rising star, Nike wanted to meet with him for an endorsement opportunity. Only one problemβ€”Michael didn’t want to go. He wasn’t interested in going to meet Nike. He had his eye on Adidas or Converse. Nike wasn’t β€œcool” yet, and he didn’t think it was worth his time.

His parents stepped in and practically forced him to take the meeting. They told him to put on a suit, get on the plane, and just hear them out.

That meeting? It led to his first endorsement dealβ€”worth $2 million.

And the rest is sneaker history.

That story hit me hard when I first heard it. Because how many of us talk ourselves out of opportunities that might just change everything?

Maybe it’s a Zoom call. Maybe it’s a webinar. Maybe it’s showing up for a conversation or saying yes to an invitation you weren’t planning to accept. That one β€œrandom” meeting could be the one that opens a door you never expected.

So let this be your MJ moment.

πŸ’¬ Our next Roundtable is today at 1:00 PM EST. You’re invited.

No pressure, no hard pitch. Just a group of entrepreneurs having real conversations about growth, opportunity, and the tools to help you build your version of success.

Embark on this journey, and let's build the future you've always envisionedβ€”one step at a time.

This week is a reminder that every achievement starts with a first stepβ€”and sometimes that step feels small or inconvenient, but it turns into something unforgettable.

Whether you're watching your child graduate, building a brand, or attending that unexpected meeting, don’t underestimate the power of momentum. Keep leaning in, keep learning, and keep taking actionβ€”even when it feels like progress is slow. Growth loves movement.

Here’s to making this a week to remember.

Until next week.....
xo,

Lane Evans
