I’m back with a special video newsletter—this time coming to you all the way from the beautiful “Island of Spice,” Grenada! (Yes, the scenery is just as amazing as people say ).

This week’s episode is a little different since I’m traveling, but I couldn’t wait to share some fresh inspiration with you.

I'm diving into Noah Kagan’s book, Million Dollar Weekend—no, you probably won’t make a million overnight, but you will learn how to get your business idea validated and ready for action. I picked this one up as an audiobook from my local library (hot tip: libraries are definitely still a thing!).

Here are 5 Key Takeaways:

1. Get started NOW: Don’t wait for perfection—use what you have, validate your concept, and take action.
2. Don't worry about scaling...yet: It’s tempting to think ahead, but focus first on proving your concept.
3. Find real demand: Passion is great, but a business needs customers! Solve a problem people care about.
4. Know your “freedom number”: Figure out your living expenses—cover those, and you’re on your way to true independence.
5. Use your library! Audiobooks are a game-changer, but nothing beats a physical book for highlighting those “aha!” concepts.

I’ll be sharing more soon about my own business adventures (don’t worry, I’m definitely not a mogul yet!), but in the meantime, enjoy the episode and the sunshine wherever you are.
