Entrepreneurs: remember why you got into business for yourself in the first place. For me, it was to take back control of my TIME. Time to do things like this.

Tired of hearing you need to go viral to make money?
Yeah, same.

🛑 A bunch of likes from random people doesn’t pay your bills.
💰 Getting in front of your actual buyers does.

📍Local biz? You don’t need views from NYC.
📦 National brand? You don’t need engagement from realtors if you sell forklifts.

Here’s the move:
✅ Run simple, targeted Meta ads
✅ Focus on your customer
✅ Let your content build trust, not fame
✅ Retarget the ones who showed interest

A few hundred views? That’s not failure.
That’s focus.

Deer camp looks a bit different as a 3x (2 on this trip). We used to sleep on the ground in a tent in 20° weather, or crash in the back of a U-Haul trailer - 4 guys and a tiny propane heater. We’d hunt 4am-6pm, no meal breaks, no bathroom breaks, and hike 10+ miles a day to find deer. We’d sit in stands and blinds for 12 hrs a day without moving, without cell phones, and without distraction. Literally none of those things are on the docket when you’re 7-9 years old. So we did squirmy 1.5 hour sits, talked too loud, colored (with scented crayons 🤦🏻‍♂️) in the blind, and slept in a warm trailer watching Disney movies at night. Not surprisingly, the deer count was less (exactly zero), but memories were made and next year we’ll be one step closer to turning these girls into Danielle Boone’s and filling the freezer again.
