Mentorship, Fatherhood & Online Success

V#025 EDITION ~ June 16th, 2025 

Hope you had a fantastic weekend — and hope all the dads in our community had a very Happy Father’s Day!

Confession ~ with all the tech chaos this past week, I nearly forgot it was Father’s Day. But it reminded me of something deeper — how the role of a father often goes beyond parenting… it’s about mentorship, support, and showing up with guidance, even when things feel uncertain.

And when it comes to building your own business, you need a “dad” figure too.

Now I don’t mean someone telling you to eat your vegetables and clean your room (although, honestly, solid advice). I mean a mentor — someone who’s walked the road ahead of you, can point out the potholes, and will cheer you on when you’re doubting yourself.

Because just like good fathers, good mentors:

• See your potential before you do

• Encourage you through your flops

• Show you how to handle wins with humility and setbacks with grit

In my own journey, I can’t count how many times a mentor’s advice saved me from a mistake… or gave me the push to try something bolder. And now, I aim to do the same for you — whether it’s helping you finally launch that offer, grow your list, or find your niche.

So here’s your Father’s Day reminder, one day late:
👉 You don’t have to do this alone.
👉 Surround yourself with people who will guide you, not just hype you.
👉 And remember, the best gift you can give yourself and your business? Consistency + support.

Let’s keep showing up — for ourselves and the people we’re meant to lead.

Email Chaos & a Brand-New Domain

Last week? Whew… it was a wild ride.

If you didn’t get the Self Made Success newsletter — you’re not alone.

We had a major behind-the-scenes change.......  moving our main domain to a new nameserver. It was supposed to be seamless. Instead? Our normally solid 30%+ open rate dropped to a heartbreaking 5%. Cue the sad face. 😢

I scrambled to send out a follow-up broadcast letting everyone know what was going on… but in case you didn’t see that either, here’s the big update:

🆕 The Self Made Success Newsletter now has its own domain!
Say hello to smsnl.com.
It’s short. Clean. Easy to remember. And best of all — it means we can finally keep your emails safe, spam-free, and consistently in your inbox.

If you missed last week’s edition, you can check it out anytime at: 👉 smsnl.com/latest

Also, please whitelist smsnl.com to make sure future newsletters show up where they belong — not buried in the promotions tab.

We’re back on track, better than ever — and I’ve got some exciting content coming your way next week. Stay tuned!
