Turning your business idea into a day-to-day reality


Hi Reader,

Whether you’re balancing a full-time job while building your business or diving headfirst into entrepreneurship full-time, there’s one thing you’ll realize quickly: the real work happens in your everyday actions.

👀 So, how do you take that dream and start building a consistent routine around it?

I’m here to help. Let’s break this down:

🙋🏽‍♀️ For those working full-time while building your business:

You’re already balancing a lot, and it’s easy to feel like there’s never enough time. But you’ve got the power to start—and keep going. It’s about creating small, consistent actions that turn into long-term results.

🙋🏽‍♂️ For full-time entrepreneurs:

Now that you’re in, it’s about building a workable structure to prevent burnout and make steady progress. You need clear systems, goals, and a routine that helps keep you moving forward each day.

Here’s how to make your business idea a day-to-day reality:⤵️

1️⃣ Take Small, Intentional Steps Every Day
You don’t need to build everything at once. Start by dedicating just a small portion of each day to your business. Whether it’s 30 minutes a day or a couple of hours on weekends, you’ll be amazed at how much progress you can make in bite-sized chunks. Consistency is key, not perfection.

2️⃣ Align Your Time with Your Priorities
No matter where you’re at, time management is everything. For those balancing work and a business, it’s about setting clear boundaries and allocating dedicated hours. For full-time entrepreneurs, you can schedule creative blocks, client work, and strategic thinking time. Don’t leave your day to chance—map it out.

3️⃣ Build Routines to Support Your Vision
This is where you create a framework to keep things running smoothly. Your business needs to feel like a well-oiled machine, not a random sequence of tasks. What are your daily non-negotiables? Start with basic routines: morning planning sessions, set work hours, and evening reflection. It’s the small systems you build now that will help you scale.

4️⃣ Make Progress, Not Perfection
Waiting for the perfect moment? That doesn’t exist. Don’t worry if you don’t have everything figured out. You don’t need to be perfect to be productive. Instead, keep moving forward. Progress is what matters here—no matter how small the steps seem.

So, what’s next?
Here’s your resource to help you get started: ⤵️

Hey Reader, You've probably seen the headlines this week: "Is AI spending out of control?" "Are we in an AI bubble?" Tech giants are pouring billions into AI. Investors are betting big. And every founder is wondering: Is this real, or are we headed for a crash? Here's the truth: every technological revolution has its irrational exuberance phase. But beneath the froth, something real is happening; a fundamental redistribution of power. I ran an AI startup from 2017-2019. We failed. Not because...

Hey Reader, This week, the AI world shifted under our feet, and most founders didn't even notice. Claude launched their dev site (meaning you can now build, code, and launch without juggling multiple tools), and OpenAI released their own browser (so AI can now research the web for you in real-time). If that sounds like tech jargon, here's what it actually means: the barriers between "thinking about your business" and "building your business" just collapsed. But here's the catch: these tools...

Hi Reader, If you’ve been putting off “figuring out AI,” I get it. Most founders are struggling with the same things: Too many tools, not enough time. Confusing compliance risks. The feeling you’re already behind. But here’s the thing: AI isn’t just about building products, it’s about creating space in your business and your brain. That’s why on October 9th, I’m hosting AI Implementation Decoded at SF Tech Week. In 90 minutes, you’ll: Build your own 30-day AI roadmap. Learn how to avoid...
