    Is "local" still a trust factor in 2026?

    MARKETING QUESTION 
    Funny you say this. If I'm on a website and spot something not working then I always email a short note with a screenshot and a circle and arrow highlighting whatever's not working. They always reply to thank me. I think I even sent you a note once about a small typo on one of your sales...

    How Sales Is Casually 22xing My Income [Thank you Fastlane!]

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION 
    Can you pitch your own product or service? ??? You're so young. And it's about the journey, not the destination. When I did motorbike trips to the South of France it was never about being in St Tropez or Cannes. The fun was in the squiggly bits on the map, and the unexpected diversions and...

    I subscribe to TLDR AI which I skim read, and to Dylan Davis's 30 days AI series which I read all of. Rex Woodbury has long essays on tech on his Substack. A bit too long for me tbh so I'll likely unsubscribe soon. I also subscribed to Wayne Goldsmith, who coaches sports coaches, an...

    It's getting people into it though, and I think that's great. It's like when I built my first website for an electrician friend, sat back, and nothing happened. No visitors, no phone calls. "Oh. I best figure out how to get people to the page." Cue more and more learnings the further I...

    I asked Gemini if "industrialised education" came about with the industrial revolution where they tried to mass produce industrial workers using a one-to-many education system, and if prior to that it was predominantly the apprenticeship system where youngsters learned more one-to-one with...

    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    GOLD! HOT! CHAT 
    Last week: I didn't touch AI Andy as intended. I did copy/paste a post to LinkedIn and Facebook though, when I said I wasn't going to. I'll do better this week. This week: Fire a consulting client that's taking too much time to get anything done? Redirect ads for a breakdown recovery...

    Working on Sunday

    EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    I'm big into automation, but at the right time. Like, why automate something you've never even done once? You don't even have a process for it yet, so automating it isn't solving the problem you currently have.

    Advice For My Business Situation and Plan

    EXECUTION FEEDBACK 
    Can you stack your skills and experience on top of each other and build your high ground? Like maybe doing marketing for dog walkers, which you can already do? As for home improvements... personally I prefer emergency type of work over improvements, but I do Google Ads rather than Facebook...

    Deciding on the right idea of all of them buzzing around in my head

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    I keep telling people to go help someone first. If they come back and say they can't find anyone to help, then they don't have a route to market (or there is no market). I like to define a market as the people *already* paying to solve the problem you can also solve. Then sales is a screening...

    Training courses

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    A market is a group of people already paying to solve a problem you can solve. What are people already paying for? Is it similar courses? Is it software or tools to try and solve their problem? Are they hiring people? Etc.
