You Shouldn’t Have To Be Famous to Build Something Great

3.2min Read Let’s start this off with a bang! 💥 Here are the 3 most useful AI prompts of the week that you can copy / paste and use right now, right now! Act as a master brand storyteller. Analyze my business: [describe your business, values, audience, and mission]. Create a powerful brand story that includes (1) a relatable origin story, (2) the customer’s journey as the hero, (3) how my business serves as the guide, and (4) emotional connection points that build loyalty. Include a conflict-resolution framework that shows how my offer solves meaningful challenges 2. EMAIL NINJA PROMPT: Act as a top-tier copywriter. I’m creating an email or article targeting [describe your audience] about [describe your topic or offer]. Generate 10 powerful, attention-grabbing headlines that: (1) Tap into emotional triggers and pain points, (2) Spark curiosity or urgency, (3) Avoid spam-triggering words, and (4) Drive high open rates. Include a brief explanation of why each headline works and suggest 2 A/B test combinations for maximum effectiveness. 3. FRESH PERSPECTIVE PROMPTS: ChatGPT can review your work as a CEO, client, or C-suite exec to sharpen your message. Try these prompts: “Pretend you’re a tech CEO—what concerns would you have about this report?” “From a C-suite view, what weaknesses do you see in my business case?” “As a potential client, what questions would you ask after reading this? Now let’s dive in… Not a sponsorship, just a fan— I started using a software called Forage Mail a little while ago. They had a 2 week trial available so I hopped in to check it out. Even after a week I realized I couldn’t live without it. It literally cleans your entire inbox by organizing, filtering and summarizing everything that comes in. I could go on, but you should just try it. Again, not an affiliate link, just a fan. Also, the founders name is Richie Bonilla. If you email him, he will personally email you back. Bite #1 I screwed up. We got a call for a tree trimming job the other day. I chatted with the homeowner and said we could handle it. I then sent one of our subs out to check out the job and provide me with a quote that I could then tell the owner. The quote was sent, the owner mentioned POSSIBLE timing for the job to happen and I confirmed with my guy that he was available then. The home owner never confirmed the job nor did I send guy out… but my guy showed up and started cutting. Home owner runs out of the house wondering what was going on. The job was 2/3 the way done… Now there’s an angry home owner that doesn’t want to pay… I could look at this and say, well that’s on my guy, I never confirmed with him, he just went. But let’s be honest, whatever communication happened was obviously not clear enough and that’s on me. Thankfully the owner was willing to pay a modified price, but it was peanuts compared to what it would have been. Lesson — Never assume your communication is clear enough. You can always say something again or in a different way. Bite #2 A friend of mine runs a multimillion dollar community specific to self storage. He is a brilliant entrepreneur and truly rallied a community around something so much more than just storage. He created an identity. I reached out to him the other day to understand the origin of how he did it as I have a pull to build one of my own. Here are two incredibly important points from what he said:
Bite #3 I feel pulled to build a community centered around the early stage entrepreneur. If I’m being honest, I can’t stop thinking about this idea. There’s an angle I’ve thought of that’s more focused on a tribe of early founders working to gain traction with the projects that light them up. But there’s another angle that I’ve been exploring focused on a niche community of creators and entrepreneurs that are unlocking the possibilities of coding with AI. While both keep me up at night with excitement, I’ll explain the second one today. There’s coding communities out there that are on THE NEXT LEVEL, the REAL coders, but there’s a HUGE audience of creators and entrepreneurs that just want to dip their feet in this vibe coding life and build cool stuff. Hobby coders like myself that are now finally able to turn ideas into action. A builder lab for creators, entrepreneurs and non-coders Entry is earned by showing proof of work—complete a challenge, share a tool, contribute feedback, or launch something, etc
I'd create a marketplace for the projects built within the community to be housed and monetized for the builders:
The core mission would be “You shouldn’t have to be famous or funded to build something great. I could launch into so much more, but here’s my question for you… 👇 If this at all sounds interesting, let me know. I want to launch this with 5-10 “founding builders” If you…
You definitely belong. Bite #4 Mysterypreneur Link. You never know what you’re gonna get… give it a ride! Bite # 5 Until next time... Stay in the fight, My best tweet this week:

An entrepreneur's recipe for sweet success 2.6min Read Because I don’t know if what I’m about to do is going to work. But I think it’s important that I at least try. So if this IS the last one... I appreciate you more than you know. Thank you for tuning in. Ok. Now that I got the hook out of the way (and possibly got you to keep reading)... I’m going to keep writing these emails.

An entrepreneur's recipe for sweet success 3.5min Read October 16, 2025 was my last day as a police officer. Listen to this instead: HERE As you're reading this, it's been a full year since I left a career I thought I'd spend 30 years in. I didn't want to spend those 30 years there, but I didn't feel like I had another choice.BUT... I did believe I was meant to do bigger things. So in the background, for those 10 years, I experimented. I tinkered. I chased a lot of shiny objects.So if you...
An entrepreneur's recipe for sweet success 2.8min Read If you haven’t seen the movie Slumdog Millionaire... watch it when you can. I’ve referenced it a couple of times over the years, and I believe that movie is a brilliant representation of what is available to each and every one of us in life. I’m not saying everyone is going to make a million dollars or end up on a game show like that. What I’m saying is that as we go through life, every experience we have, everything we go through,...
