An update on this newsletter and how I can do better.

You could inspire our next newsletter!
This one’s a little different, guys. I want to do better.
I’ve always dreamed that inspired idiots would be a community for people like me—people who know they want to build their dream life, even if they have no idea what they’re doing.
That’s what being an inspired idiot is all about: embracing the messy journey, even when it’s scary and uncertain.
And I want to keep showing up for you guys that way. I want to create a community of inspired idiots.
That goal hasn’t changed. Just how I get there has.
THE LIMITING BELIEF
“Taking a step back will only slow me down.”
For the past month, I learned a hard lesson: I can’t build five businesses at once.
I’ve been juggling too much—growing a newsletter, closing high-ticket sales, coaching entrepreneurs 1:1 and in groups, ghostwriting for top coaches, and building my LinkedIn brand.
The result? I burned out.
I was spreading myself so thin that not only did my income and well-being take a hit, but I felt like I was just chasing my tail.
Maybe this is a lesson we can all learn. When you focus on doing more instead of doing better, your goals will probably suffer.
My goals have suffered because I simply have too many I’m working on at once.
If I want to keep helping more people, I need to start with myself.
THE ACTION
So here’s my new plan, one I’m putting into practice starting now: I’m scaling back inspired idiots to every other Friday instead of every week.
This isn’t giving up—it’s a reset.
By narrowing my focus, I can dive deeper into the tough lessons, limiting beliefs, and struggles we all face on our way to our goals.
It means I can spend more time on deep-dive topics and really focus on quality over quantity. I’m reclaiming my time and energy so that I can continue to build a life I’m proud of—and share that journey with you.
I want to show up for you better, not just more often.

WHY THIS MATTERS
My success—and yours, too—isn’t measured by how much we do, but by how well we do it.
By stepping back and focusing on quality, I’m going to create better work and build a life I love.
Sometimes the boldest move is to take a breather, reassess, and then charge ahead with clarity and purpose.
YOUR TAKEAWAY
My takeaway for today is simple: Stop spreading yourself too thin.
When you choose quality over quantity, you build a life that feels real and sustainable.
I’m learning this every day, and I’m excited to bring you along for the ride.
I want you to know that you’re part of this decision. If you have any feedback on how this newsletter helps you, what you want to see more of, please share your thoughts by replying to this email.
