So I got absolutely wrecked this weekend. Sunday night I went for a long walk in the freezing cold here in Iceland, came back ready to eat dinner but I just had zero appetite. Not normal for me at all. Then it started getting worse... really fast. Within minutes I'm feeling pain in my stomach and head, had to just lay down and try to chill but it kept getting worse by the minute. Then I vomited, and that's when the pain got really bad. Tried to hydrate but couldn't hold anything down for hours. When I looked in the mirror, straight up looked like a ghost. Started cramping up from being so dehydrated and the pain was brutal, couldn't fall asleep until 3am (I usually go to sleep at 9). And when I finally did sleep? Maybe 1 hour at a time, just lying there in pain, back to sleep for 1-2 hours, wake up, repeat. Did that until 11am. When I woke up at 11 I felt better. Still rough though, yesterday all I could eat was crackers and water. But here's the crazy part: right now, not even 48 hours later, I'm like 90% back to normal. Weird how fast it comes and goes. Here's why I'm sharing this: Writing copy feels the same sometimes. The pain of knowing your about page isn't converting, the frustration of writing posts that don't get engagement, the fear that maybe you're just not a good writer, that's the signal telling you something needs to change. But the suffering? The endless rewriting without launching, the paralysis, convincing yourself you need to study more templates before you ship, that's optional. That's what keeps you stuck. My body recovered fast because it knew what to do, it just had to go through it. Your copy is the same, you already have what it takes, you just need to test, get feedback, and iterate. Are you falling into the trap of suffering?

(I wasted a year building an offer I knew wouldn't work) 4 weeks ago I was stuck on an offer I knew wouldn't work. 3 days ago I closed my first $1,000 client. Here's exactly what happened: Over a year going the wrong direction, I'd been building a fitness and mindset coaching offer for over a year. "Help young men build discipline, transform their identity, get excited about life." I'd even gotten some results. A few clients. Some traction. But deep down? I knew it was too vague, and too subjective. I'd learned copywriting, marketing, business principles. I knew better. But I was letting my emotions win. Then I got on a call with Patrice. She told me straight up: "That's gonna be tough to sell. Words like "discipline" and "excitement" don't sell because they're subjective." I knew she was right, I'd known it the whole time. But hearing it from someone else made me finally face reality. That one call changed everything. Week 1: Started over (but with clarity) I pivoted to something I'd been doing but hadn't formalized: "help people start their online business." Still broad, but now I wasn't letting passion override strategy. I started networking. Built a free Skool community. Posted daily. Got on calls with anyone who'd talk to me. Weeks 2-3: Found the pattern Offered free beta coaching to see what people actually needed. Here's what I noticed: - Some needed help with content - Some needed help with offers - Some needed help with mindset But one group kept showing up: new and aspiring online coaches. That clicked because I'd just lived that journey myself (and learned the hard way). I knew their problems. I'd made every mistake they were about to make. Week 3: Doubled down Stopped trying to help everyone. Focused only on helping coaches get their first clients and launch on Skool. Took a few people through my process for free. Got them wins: - One landed their first paid client - Another got clear on their offer - Third one went from "I don't know what to do" to 6 beta-clients and a clear path forward
