Self Made Success

Tues. Oct 27 , 2026|Issue #87|Self Made Success

I've come to the conclusion that running a business should come with a warning label.

CAUTION: May cause excessive brainstorming, unfinished projects and the sudden urge to start something new at 11:47 PM. LOL

 

Sound familiar?

 

The funny thing is, sometimes we're so busy looking for our next big breakthrough that we overlook what's right in front of us.

 

Here's what we're talking about this week:

  • Stop Looking for a Business Idea. Start Looking at What People Already Ask You to Do. You might already have a skill people would happily pay for. The trick is recognizing it!

  • Before You Add Another Thing to Your Business, Ask These 5 Questions. That exciting new tool, project, or opportunity might be worth pursuing. Or it might be another distraction wearing a fancy hat.

 

Plus, this week's SMS Trend Radar: Anthropic and Google are introducing new ways for AI to handle business tasks, AI search visibility is getting trickier, and personalized shopping tools are becoming easier to create.

 

A little inspiration, a few reality checks, and hopefully something that'll save you time, money, or another unfinished project.

 

Let's get into it!

WHAT'S ON THE RADAR

Here's a little reminder for the week.

Just because something is new doesn't mean you need it. And just because something comes naturally to you doesn't mean it isn't valuable.

Before chasing your next opportunity, take a look at what you already know, what you already have, and what actually needs improving.

Sometimes the smartest way forward is to do LESS, but do it better.

Until next week...

P.S. If you've got more software subscriptions than actual customers, we might need to have a little talk. LOL 😂
