I’ve found it challenging to pursue a new goal unless changes are made in how one operates each day. Creating the right habits will improve your odds of success.

• What new habits do you need to establish?

• What old habits do you want to eliminate?

• What do you want to schedule weekly to ensure it receives attention?

• What needs to be done each month?

Grab the content of this week’s update so you can paste it into your copy of the Invincible Business Guide. It’s about establishing milestones and tasks for your most important goals.

I like it when you pursue goals that let you enjoy smaller wins during the journey. What milestones would you like to reach as you make progress? Think about measures that will help you stay on track. You might have daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly targets.

• For example, if you wanted to write a book:

  • Daily target - 500 words/day

  • Milestone 1 - Create an outline

  • Milestone 2 through X - Completed chapters 2 through X

  • Final milestone - Rough draft of the full book

But when I probed, the answer came back…

Maybe times have changed. Maybe expectations have grown thanks to easy access to AI tools and services. Or maybe it was never good enough, and I had been fooling myself. The silent and subtle failures weren’t providing clear enough signals to wake me up before.

However, this time my query returned a clear signal. Finally, I received the data I needed to hear that explained what had gone wrong.

At first, the feedback stung. It usually does, right? No one enjoys hearing that they made a mistake.

• You screwed up.

• What you created wasn’t enough.

• You might not be enough (ouch!).

However, I quickly realized that I had been given a gift. I had received valuable feedback when my failure normally disappeared quietly into a black hole.

So, I immediately took that feedback as a challenge to level up my game. I worked for days to improve my processes, make my materials more valuable, and strengthen my pitch.

Now, I’m in the middle of testing this new strategy and approach. It feels better, and I know it’s more valuable. I have already heard good feedback from one potential client. But the final outcome remains to be seen. I’ll know more soon…

Failure with no feedback is nothing but pain. We’ve all experienced that.

But failure delivered with data is a gift. Growth can occur when we receive valuable information that helps us change.

Sometimes you receive this information and data when the failure occurs. But if you don’t, go get it!

• Dig deeper.

• Ask for feedback.

• Get the clarifying details you need.

• Learn enough so that you can adapt, improve, and try again.

Running a business is hard work. We will never be perfect, and even when things seem to go well for a long time, the rules change and you have to adapt again.

Failure can be a gift when you get what you need from it to rise from the ashes and succeed later.

Have you experienced failure and would like to talk with me about how to turn that into a learning experience? You can schedule a free session any time!

Some people may find it odd that I simultaneously coach my clients on how to get ahead in their careers and also how to exit the 9-to-5 grind to enjoy self-employment and semi-retirement.

However, I see an overall arc to our lives from our 20s to our final years that includes your education, traditional employment, the freedom of a lifestyle business, and maximizing your enjoyment of your final years on this planet.

It all centers on empowerment

My empowerment strategy lets you squeeze the most out of your earning years and the most life out of your later years.

• Empowered people have more career opportunities than others do.

• Empowered people feel confident and courageous in their jobs.

• Empowered people demand what they deserve from their working lives.

• Empowered people create a path to greater freedom and fulfillment.

• Empowered people get more of what they want out of life.

• Empowered people live larger and refuse to settle for less.

Summary of what I share in the video

1. The Unifying Thread of Empowerment

   1. Career coaching and self-employment coaching may seem contradictory, but they share one goal: putting you in the driver’s seat of your working life, whether that’s climbing the ladder or exiting to creating your own path.

2. From Invincible to Empowered

   1. My business branding is evolving.

   2. It’s less about feeling invincible and more about being so skilled, visible, and respected that you become more empowered.

   3. You become an opportunity magnet (I’ve talked a lot about this before).

3. Power Means You Can Walk Away

   1. When you’re truly empowered, you stop tolerating bad bosses, toxic environments, and unreasonable demands.

   2. During my long career, I have watched talented people push back and win because employers couldn’t afford to lose them.

4. The Value of Inside Champions

   1. Throughout my career, former colleagues and advocates pulled me into companies and made the interview processes almost effortless.

   2. That kind of network doesn’t happen by accident.

   3. You have to earn it, expand it, and nurture it.

5. You Will Have Peak Earning Years

   1. Research shows earning potential peaks and then declines.

   2. Senior roles become scarce, and age discrimination is real (especially in tech).

   3. You need to maximize your earnings while this brief window is open.

6. Same Hours, Very Different Pay

   1. Would you rather earn $100K or $300K for the same eight hours/day?

   2. Push hard for what you deserve.

   3. Do not tolerate a one-way relationship with your employer. Get as much as you give.

   4. The same goes for building a business. Maximize your revenue return for your time and energy. Don’t waste time on low-value activities.

7. Bank It, Don’t Burn It

   1. Live leaner during your highest-earning years.

   2. Invest aggressively, create a financial safety cushion, and start working on self-employment plans.

   3. You’re buying your freedom through self-employment and better budgeting.

8. Your 20s Are for Foundation Building

   1. Get educated

   2. Find your people, make good friends, discover love, and find your life partner.

   3. Start figuring out your professional path.

   4. Enjoy this time! Don’t rush the exploration phase.

9. Your 30s and 40s Are Peak Earning Decades

   1. This is your primary earning window.

   2. Push hard, climb fast, and earn maximum value for your efforts.

   3. Build your network (it’s one of your most valuable resources).

   4. Quietly line up your self-employment plan and runway, so you can flip that freedom switch earlier than most do.

10. Your 50s+ Are for Living Large

    1. Transition into self-employment that leverages your expertise and everything you already know.

    2. Work when you want, where you want, and how you want.

    3. Play a lot! I’m so glad I took the self-employment path and semi-retired early so I can enjoy my freedom and as much time as possible with the people I love.

    4. Take care of your health and enjoy the last half of your life while you still can.

    5. Life is short! Don’t save your bucket list for a decade where you can’t physically cross items off anymore.

Grab the content of this week’s update so you can paste it into your copy of the Invincible Business Guide. It’s about expanding your strategies into detailed plans to achieve your goals.

• A strategy is high level and general (e.g., soft-launch a new business).

• Your plan will break down the key steps you need for success.

• Create a more detailed plan you’ll use to pursue each of your goals.

• As you start creating your plan, you’ll notice holes and add more details.

• However, plans rarely survive first contact with reality, and that’s okay.

• You’ll need to assess, learn, and adapt your plan as you go.

• It’s okay to modify your plan or change it entirely later, if necessary.

New month, new theme. April is all about Your Strategy and Plan. How will you achieve your business goals this year?

A strategy is your high-level plan to close the gap (i.e., what you shared in section 2) and achieve your most important goals.

• There are often several ways you could pursue a specific goal.

• Some business strategies may be more effective than others.

• Some strategies might be a better fit for you than others.

• Different strategies usually require different approaches and resources.

• The timeline might be different for one strategy vs. another.

• For example, what if your goal is to dramatically increase your revenue this year? There are many different strategies you could choose to try…

The name of this podcast and newsletter has been missing the mark, so I need your help!

“Invincible Solopreneurs” has been about freedom, independence, defining your second act, quitting your job, leaving bad bosses, and living life the way you want. But something's not clicking. The name doesn't seem to match what most of you actually want.

So, I dive into that in this episode. Scroll up and hit play to listen to the details.

Some things I’ve heard over the years

• It’s not really about “building a business”, per se. It’s about starting your own thing that makes enough money so you can quit a job that is no longer serving you well.

• You want to fund your freedom. You want to control your time.

• You are tired of job hopping and interviewing.

• You are tired of dealing with bad bosses and toxic managers.

• You don’t want to scale something into a massive corporation. You want to create something reasonable and sustainable.

• You don’t want a job—or even a business—to be the center of your universe. You want to focus on your life first, then define a model that supports that.

• The word “invincible” may not resonate with you.

• The word “solopreneur” may not resonate with you.

The name I created was a fit for my brand and my other newsletters and podcasts. But a name like this isn't about me. It shouldn’t be about me. It’s about you, what you are seeking, and what you want.

So, this change is about serving you better. And I would love to hear from you about what that means.

More of what you want

I want to refine the focus of this newsletter and podcast to give you more of what you want. I want to explore the right topics, have the right guests on the show, and share the kind of advice that meets your needs and gives you what you need most.

If you’ve been following this newsletter and podcast, I know you care about:

• Your freedom

• Your independence

• Having flexibility

• Having time to lead the life you want

• Being more than your job and profession

• But… you still need to make a living and pay your bills

• And you want to stretch your retirement dollars because you’re worried

I know you're not really looking for a side hustle. You already have a job, and the last thing you want is more work. Instead, I think you're looking to define your second act (i.e., the next chapter of your life).

You are in this in-between space that I was in, and many of my friends are in now. You’re feeling too old to keep getting hired, but you’re too young to retire.

• Many of us hit this point in our 50s.

• Of course, it’s more salient in some industries and professions than others.

• You’re smart, ambitious, and adventurous.

• You’re pretty savvy financially, and you’ve had some good successes.

• You’re experienced enough that you don’t really like being told what to do.

• You no longer have patience for BS, bad leadership, and corporate nonsense.

• After decades on this path, you’re ready for something new. But you aren’t quite sure what that looks like yet.

• You’re active and healthy, so you know you have a lot of years ahead of you.

• You don’t want to fade into the sunset, sit on the porch, golf every day, or sit around playing cards.

• You have a retirement plan, some investments, and some savings But, it’s not enough to support your lifestyle and carry you through for the next 30-40 years.

• You want to generate an income that lets you cover your expenses and stretches your retirement dollars.

• You sure ask heck don’t want to work 8 to 12-hour days, 5 days a week, anymore. You’re done with that.

• But what does that mean? What does that look like for you?

That, dear reader, is the whole point of this podcast and newsletter. Helping you explore, define, design, and plan your ideal second act so the last half of your life is as exciting and fulfilling as you can make it!

What name best captures the essence of this?

I know that “Invincible Solopreneurs” isn’t doing the job. I’m not married to any specific name or brand.

• I care about the mission.

• I care about this movement.

• I feel so passionate about it that this is exactly what I’ve done with my own career and life.

So, what should the new brand communicate? What should it promise?

• It could be something that sounds like a fresh new chapter in your life.

• The second act of your career and life.

• Maybe how this isn’t your parent’s career path, and it’s certainly not their model of retirement.

• Something that sounds like independence and autonomy.

• Something that evokes a sense of excitement, adventure, and freedom.

• Maybe something that hints at financial independence, but isn’t about getting rich (i.e., there’s more to life than money).

Here’s where you come in. I’d love to get your input!

A few questions for you

I created a short questionnaire to get your thoughts on this renaming exercise. It has five questions and should only take about 2-3 minutes to complete. As one of my readers and listeners, I would really appreciate your feedback. Thanks!

Answer 5 Questions

Next steps

• You can join my free community if you’d like to discuss this in more detail with me and the other members.

• After getting input from all of you, I’ll explore the ideas and come up with a few options.

• In a few weeks, I should be able to share the new naming ideas with you and see what you think.

• Nothing is going to change right away. I want to make a decision that reflects your wants and needs.

• And the overall mission and movement doesn’t really change. It just becomes more focused on what you want.

Reading & resources (mentioned in the podcast episode)

• What is Coast FIRE?

• Retirement calculator (what will you need?)

• Gen X is facing a retirement crisis

• “Company of One - Why Staying Small Is the Next Big Thing for Business” by Paul Jarvis

• Being great at something doesn’t mean the world needs it.

• Enjoying doing something doesn’t mean anyone else wants it.

• Look for the intersection of your greatness with the needs of others (i.e., potential customers).

• How could you solve real problems for real people or other businesses?

• How could you do it better than or differently from existing solutions?

• Try to focus on the evergreen needs of the human condition.

Trends are okay. But if you follow one, be prepared to evolve, adapt, and pivot later.

The Invincible Solopreneurs Business Guide for 2026

I created the companion guide to provide additional structure for the weekly emails I will share with you this year. If you haven’t grabbed your copy yet, use the button below to access and save it.

It’s in Google Slides format, so you can save a copy of the presentation to your own Google Drive in your preferred folder. This will allow you to edit the placeholder text to enter your answers to the questions in the guide.

How to use the guide

• Every month this year will have a specific theme.

• Each week will have a set of homework questions related to that month’s theme.

• I will share a new presentation document with that week’s questions via the newsletter email and in my private community (you’re welcome to join us for free!).

• Then download the new presentation, copy and paste the new slides into your editable copy of the guide, and use it to answer the questions.

I have already included all the slides and questions for January (i.e., Your Goals) in the guide. New slides will come each month. Stay tuned for more emails about those.
