Hey Reader, Welcome to Issue #040 of the Friday Five from The Independent You. I hope you had a great week! Last weekend was a blur, and I missed sending this newsletter out to you. My son was buying his first car, and it took up most of our weekend. Over the summer, he worked as a lifeguard at the local pool and saved enough to buy a 20-year-old car. Unfortunately, we've run into a few technical problems already. I never expected it would be so hard to watch your children spending their own...

Hey Reader, Welcome to Issue #039 of the Friday Five from The Independent You. I hope you had a great week! Over the last few years, I've worked really hard to create my online business. There have been so many new things to learn—copywriting, social media platforms, tech tools, and email lists, to name a few. In my search for solutions, I've paid for many courses and coaching programs. If there's ever a way to shortcut the learning, I take it. I couldn't have got this far without help, but...

Hey Reader, Welcome to Issue #038 of the Friday Five from The Independent You. I hope you had a great week! Apologies for skipping last week's issue. I got caught up in my online sales workshop.

With that in mind, in the Independent Insight this week, I look at the term "side hustle" and why it may hold you back...

Hey Reader, Welcome to Issue #037 of the Friday Five from The Independent You. I hope you had a great week! As a reader of this newsletter, you'll know I'm very bullish about the potential of the "Creator Economy". So I was excited to read an article from Goldman Sachs this week, showing they expect the industry to double over the next three years, from $250 billion in revenue to $480 billion by 2027. (Link in footnotes). One thing that helped me build wealth quickly as an entrepreneur and an...

Hey Reader, Welcome to Issue #036 of the Friday Five from The Independent You. I hope you had a great week! It's a holiday weekend here, and I took my kids to the beach, so I'm a little late sending this out to you. This week, I've been creating the new sales workshop I aim to launch in March. I'm back into copywriting, sales funnels, and video editing. There sure is a lot of work but I love the creativity. (If you'd like to know more about the workshop, check the bottom of this email.) In...

Hey Reader, Welcome to Issue #035 of the Friday Five from The Independent You. I hope your 2024 has got off to a great start! I find myself preoccupied at the moment with how we earn a living. Since I was young, I've grappled with the conundrum of "work". I've never been able to reconcile how much of our lives we have to give up to make money when, for most of us, we'd rather be doing something else. The Independent You is all about how you can confront this challenge and flip the traditional...

I'm on a mission to live a more meaningful life, to grow my online business and to gain ultimate freedom of time and location. And I'll be sharing what I learn here in this newsletter to help you live...

The Independent You isn't a guide for getting rich. It's all about how you become free to do what you really want with your life. Stick around...
