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…
I publish a paid membership out of Durban. 480 paying, all from cold social. It works until I skip two weeks of posting, then cancellations start. Those cancellations pay my rent so I cannot skip. …

I have six retainer clients, an ops person, and somehow I'm still the only one who knows what's happening across all of them. We tried a big CRM last year — my ops lead spent two weeks building it,…
I keep telling myself I’ll launch a second offer once the current retainer week calms down. It hasn’t calmed down in six months. I’m sharing this because I want to test whether the bottleneck is re…
