What actually matters?

Read time: 2 min 36 sec Whatup Reader! What actually matters? Gonna open up today’s email with the punchline: It only matters as much as it matters to you. What exactly is "it"? Well, pretty much anything, I think. A little over a week ago I shared a Reel on Instagram in which I was wearing a pair of jeans and attempting to do a split. The Reel was promoting my Cinco de Maestro sale and I was largely just messing around having fun with transition trend. Someone asked in the comments where I...

Read time: 1 min 31 sec Whatup Reader! Yup, I’m in your inbox again. This wasn’t the email I was planning on sending out today, but after yesterday’s segmenting SNAFU (ConvertKit actually calls it filtering, but the alliteration worked better with segmenting so I ran with it) I decided to call an audible and share a different message: Momentum beats motivation. Keep going. My word for 2024 is ‘WRITE’, and as part of leaning into that word I’ve been writing to you fine folks every Tuesday....

Read time: 2 min 53 sec Whatup Reader! I want to use today’s email to collect some feedback from you and get a feel for what you’re currently feeling and experiencing as it relates to da monies, but before I do that I want to share this with you: Note: The X-axis is age in years. The graphic above originally made it’s rounds in 2017, created by data scientist, Henrik Lindberg, based on results from collected from 2003-2015 via the American Time Use Survey, an annual census by the US Bureau of...

Read time: 3 min 26 sec Whatup Reader! Right off the bat, two quick reminders: Tickets for BossUp2024 are LIVE! At the time writing this email, of we only have eight VIP spots left. So, if you’re a Last Minute Lucy and you know you want that VIP experience, perhaps consider becoming an Early Action Annie for 24 hours. A few weeks ago I wrote ya’ll an email about the value of rereading books, and asked you to submit your favorite re-reads. As promised, I’ve compiled the responses into a PDF...

Read time: 3 min 51 sec Whatup Reader! Spent the weekend in Texas wearing a cowboy hat and wanted to share something that happened. No, it wasn’t a hate crime. My boys Nick and Derek invited me back to speak at their Raise the Bar conference, and the title of the presentation I gave this year was, Dialed In: Turning Up What Matters Most for Scaling Your Impact. The feedback was AWESOME, and I’ve got to say that this year’s talk seemed to land with the audience more than any of the talks that...

Read time: 4 min 48 sec Whatup Reader! Call me an old soul, but for as long as I can remember I’ve loved the look of the Herman Miller Eames lounge chair. I’m not sure at what age I learned that my dream chair came with a $10,000 price tag (realistically that’s the upper end of the price range for those with a penchant for details) but I do know that that information kept me from ever seriously adding an Eames original to my “I’m going to save up and buy that one day” list. I just couldn’t...

Read time: 2 min 59 sec Whatup Reader! Last week I went hard in the paint promoting registration for my Instagram Business Blueprint Masterclass (registration is still open btw but early bird pricing has expired). During that time I sent out 6 emails, shared 5 IG posts, posted 26 Stories, and pushed out 1 Broadcast Channel message. Those efforts generated 73 registrations and $7181 in revenue. Those efforts also lead to 40 unsubscribes from my email list and lord only knows how many unfollows...
