I raised the paid tier from €9 to €18 for new subscribers, kept existing ones grandfathered, and told nobody. Two months of data. Onboarding emails unchanged, so I could see whether the higher pric…
I keep going back and forth on this and my sample size is too small to trust. Everyone I ask has a different answer, so I want to see what this room actually does.
I run a self-paced course for personal brands in Singapore, a handful of paying customers, early revenue. Onboarding is still me copy-pasting everything by hand. I can only test one change at a tim…

I run a membership for mid-career managers and I've just finished a run of three live workshops in Galway. Same content each time, different rooms. The first I soft-pitched the membership at the en…
I've been freelancing for three years and I'm done with project work. Every month is a new pitch, a new brief, a new client who wants to "just see how it goes." I want to move to a retainer and bui…
