How I Accidentally Designed My Dream Business (By Admitting What I'm Actually Good At)
End-of-year clarity: when the dust settles, you see what matters
6min Read | Watch | Listen

Hey there Visionaries!
End of year? I don't grind. I review.
Family gets priority, and that dead week between Christmas and New Year's? That's when I audit everything.
No client calls. No new prospects. No shiny ideas.
Just me, my systems, and a hard look at what actually worked versus what I thought would work.
This might be my favorite week of the year.
Why You Should Give All the Cares:
Career Clarity: All my assessments pointed the same direction. I finally listened and built around it.
Client Pattern Recognition: Brilliant operators who can't translate their value online. That's who I serve.
Mutual Aid Reality Check: $11 gets you four years of my experience before the price jumps next week.
The Breakthrough I Didn't See Coming
I turn complex chaos into simple, executable frameworks.
That's what I do.

Assessment of assessments
I thought everybody did this. They don't.
I build systems that increase your ability to make choices. Get clarity. Make things easier.
Took me years to find clean language for it.
I've gathered every assessment I've done. Personality tests. Strengths finders. Enneagram deep dives.
They all say the same thing.
And I finally stopped fighting it.
Built a business around my actual strengths instead of what some guru said I should do.
Helping Brilliant Buisness Owners Who Can't Translate Their Value Online
Men's coach. Incredible at transformation. Terrible at online positioning. I'm fixing that.
Spa with Himalayan salt caves. Real healing, unconventional methods. I'm helping them communicate it.
This is the pattern: brilliant operators who can't translate their value online.
Flow Motion has a full Himalayan salt crystal cave. Within two minutes of sitting in there, it felt like I took a bong hit back in the day.
My busy mind took a backseat. I could actually drop in.
Walls, ceiling, floor. All Himalayan salt. You're completely surrounded.
So I'm helping them show people what they've got.
This is what I do. Build the systems. Create the frameworks. Make the complex simple.
I'm Full Through End of Year
If you need systems built in January, frameworks, playbooks, actual infrastructure people can run without you, get on my calendar now.
I only take a few.
Mutual Aid Mini-Course: $11 Pre-Launch
We just had flooding here. Food costs are insane.
Your mutual aid network isn't optional anymore.
I've been running one for four years. Built a course to show you how.
$11 pre-launch. Goes up next week. If you wait, you'll pay more for the same thing.

Tech Corner: ChatGPT Just Caught Up to Google
ChatGPT just dropped an image generator to compete with Nano Banana.
Full generate and edit capability. Accessible to the billion-plus people with ChatGPT apps.
They're neck and neck now. Which means you win.
If they do what they did last year, expect a bunch of little updates throughout December.
The app keeps getting better every day. Better experience. Small features that add up.
Why I'm Building a Local, Uncensored LLM
New video card arrives next week. Retrofitting my old PC tower with heavy-hitting gear.
NVIDIA sells these supercomputers for about $4,000 to run large language models.
I'm fixing up my old computer for $1,200 to run one here myself.
Why build local? Because I want unfiltered answers. No corporate bias. No censorship.
Six months behind the best models? Fine. Functional and private will be a must moving forward.
Open-source models are actually usable now.
Reply back if you want the specs I'm going for.
I'll report back on how it goes. What works. What breaks. What's actually worth the money
Today’s Takeaways:
