READ POSTWhat Fly Fishing Taught Me About Business
Reader Roundtable: What's Your Take? Hello Reader. In Will It Fly?, Pat Flynn shares an example of researching the fly fishing niche. At first it sounds so random—but that’s the power of it. By serving a small, passionate group, you don’t need to reach everyone—you just need to reach the right people. That’s the lesson I’ve (Kelly) applied in my own work. When I focus on solopreneurs who value balance and simple automation, the connection is so much stronger than if I tried to speak to...
READ POSTThe “Airport Test” that can change your business
This week's Page Turner Hello Reader. One of my favorite exercises from Will It Fly? by Pat Flynn is what he calls the “Airport Test.” Imagine it’s five years from now, and you bump into an old friend at the airport. They ask how you’ve been, and you get to tell them about your life. What would you want to say? This isn’t about the size of your business, how many clients you have, or how many followers are on your list. It’s about your lifestyle. How are you spending your days? Who are you...

READ POSTThe worst place to test an idea
This week's Page Turner Hello Reader. Here’s what I know:Your ideas are usually better than you give them credit for.But your brain? Not always the best place to test them. (at least i know mine isn’t) The more time we spend thinking through an idea, the more we are to stall out completely.You start wondering: Is this even a good idea? Has someone already done this? What if I can’t pull it off? And then?You quietly close the doc, open a tab, and move on—before giving it a real chance. So...
READ POSTThe Airport Test Changed Everything
Reader Roundtable: What's Your Take? Hello Reader. One of my favorite parts of Will It Fly? is the Airport Test. Here’s how it works:Imagine it’s 5 years from now. You bump into a friend at the airport, and they ask how life is going. You describe your ideal life — not just business, but health, relationships, everything. Then you ask: Is the business I’m building going to make that life possible? When I did this exercise, I realized I was pouring my energy into projects that looked good on...
READ POSTThe advice from Pat Flynn I didn’t expect
This week's Page Turner Hello Reader. A few weeks ago, I found myself in a live webinar with Pat Flynn.Yes — that Pat Flynn. When the Q&A opened, I took a deep breath and I couldn’t resist asking for his perspective on something that’s been on my mind: making changes in my business that I know will serve my audience better… but might also ruffle some feathers. Pat reminded me that change isn’t something to tiptoe around—it’s something to frame as an opportunity. Yes, people can resist change,...
