@Andrew Anderson, That’s a serious challenge to go through, especially having surgery and still trying to stay consistent with everything. Maintaining momentum in a situation like that shows a lot of discipline, but I also hope you gave yourself enough space to actually recover properly after. Out of curiosity, what are you currently focused on building or working towards right now? And are you also into any kind of online business ?

@Andrew Anderson, That's fantastic! With 22 years of experience in blogging and affiliate marketing, you’ve clearly built a strong foundation. It’s great to hear that both your Skool programs and blog are gaining traction, with traffic and conversions moving in the right direction. I really like the concept of teaching creators to provide three layers of value before discussing price. That approach builds trust, strengthens relationships, and naturally leads to better long-term results. What would you say has been your biggest challenge so far while growing these programs and putting this new course together?

@Despina Charavgi, You're welcome! Glad to be connected. By the way, what business are you currently in? I'd love to learn more about what you're working on and how things are going for you.

@Yordi Nolet, That’s a really strong transformation statement. It’s specific, outcome-focused, and clearly communicates who you help and how you help them. I especially like that you’re addressing the root cause through the nervous system rather than just the symptoms. As you said, there may be a few iterations along the way, but it sounds like you’re getting very close to something that truly resonates with your audience. Just wondering, what have been your biggest challenges so far while refining your niche, messaging, and offer?

@Yordi Nolet, that makes a lot of sense, especially the part about fearing to niche down; most people go through that stage before things start clicking. The clarity usually comes after real conversations with the exact people you want to help, so your plan to start interviewing founders is a strong move. Pricing and “what is my time worth” are also something that tends to refine itself once you start seeing patterns in who you enjoy working with and what results you’re driving. What are you finding the most difficult right now in the process? Is it the outreach, the offer clarity, or the pricing?

@Abe Bray, That’s actually the best way to approach it. Taking the pressure off by building it as a side income first lets you learn the skills and gain confidence without feeling like everything depends on it right away. That was my mindset too. I wasn't expecting to replace my income overnight; I just wanted an extra stream of income. Then, as I learned more and stayed consistent, it started growing to the point where it became something I could genuinely rely on. The cool thing is that affiliate marketing and e-commerce are very skill-based. Once you learn how to attract the right people and make sales online, those skills stay with you and can be applied to different opportunities. You seem to have the right mindset for it already, which honestly is half the battle. Most people quit before they give themselves enough time to see results. What are you doing for work right now? And how much time do you think you could realistically dedicate each week to building something on the side?

@Abe Bray, First off, congratulations on becoming a father! That's a huge life change and definitely comes with a whole new set of skills to learn. Honestly, with a full-time job and a new baby, I think 10 hours a week is a very realistic place to start. Consistency beats burnout every time. I actually think one of the biggest advantages of online business is the flexibility. You don't need to put in crazy hours every day. Even a few focused hours throughout the week can add up over time if you're working on the right things. And being a behavior specialist, you probably already have a lot of transferable skills, including communication, problem-solving, and understanding people, which are valuable in business and marketing as well. Just wondering, are you mainly interested in affiliate marketing right now, or are you also open to other online digital business models? Have you looked into the digital business space before?
