A lot of people inside this community think they’re behind…or that it’s “too late”…or that they should be moving faster than they are. So I want to share something with you today that I normally only post inside Mindset Skool or my Mastermind. On December 1st, I recorded a quick video for my Mindset Skool members. Nothing fancy. No editing. Just a raw Loom video where I walk through the real timeline of building a business… and why most people quit long before anything starts working. It landed.Big time. Tons of comments. People watching almost the entire video. Members saying, “I needed to hear this today.” So I decided to upload the exact same video to YouTube. No changes, no polish, a thumbnail that I spent 10-minutes creating. Because if it helped people in Mindset Skool, there’s a pretty good chance someone here needs to hear it too. 👉 Here’s the video: This Took Me 8 Years (Most People Quit After 6 Months) Your business is not supposed to happen overnight. There’s no perfect pace. You're not late. And if you feel like quitting because “it’s taking too long”… you’re exactly who this video is for. I share the actual numbers: 8 years. 6 months. 9 months. 18 months. Real timelines. Real pivots. Real doubt. Real progress. If you’re stuck, or second-guessing everything right now… take 15 minutes and watch it. This might be the reminder you need to keep going. Every once in a while I’ll bring something over from Mindset Skool into this group when I think it’ll really help. Let me know what hits you after watching. - Brian P.S.

Most people don’t get stuck because they can’t pick an online business. They get stuck because once they have the idea… they freeze. They second-guess it. They overthink it. They spend weeks trying to “figure it all out first.” Both paths can work. The question is just which one you want to take. Path #1 (the free path): Figure it out inside this group You can absolutely stay here, watch what I’m doing, follow the prompts, ask questions, and slowly piece your business together. If you stay consistent, you will make progress. I built this group so you could do that if that’s your preferred style. Path #2 (the faster + fewer mistakes path): Mindset Skool This is for people who think: “I don’t want to guess. I want clarity, feedback, and someone helping me avoid avoidable mistakes.” Mindset Skool helps you: - eliminate guesswork - move faster - avoid the painful (and expensive) wrong turns - get immediate clarity when you get stuck - build alongside people doing the same thing If that support would help you, this is the next logical step. And right now it’s $24/month until I raise it to $49/month before Santa shows up. If you join at $24, you’re locked in at that rate forever. I want you to think about something. Ask yourself this question... “Would having Brian and a community guide me be worth $24/month if it helped me go faster and avoid mistakes?” If yes → join Mindset Skool. If no → stay here and keep learning. Both are completely valid. You’re welcome here either way. Feel free to comment or DM me with any questions. P.S. The video also offers some updates on the community, a walkthrough of Mindset Skool and how you can make money using your own free Skool community.

Once you've picked your online business we want to make sure it’s actually worth building. Most people skip this step. That’s why they end up wasting months creating something nobody asked for. Not happening here. Here’s the simple validation process I teach all my clients. No funnels. No landing pages. No tech and absolutely NO overthinking. We get real data from real people. STEP 1 - Get your idea into one simple sentence If you can’t say your idea clearly, nobody else can either. Use this: “I help [specific person] fix [specific problem].” Example: “I help tired moms simplify dinner with 10-minute meal systems.” Keep it boringly clear. STEP 2 - Talk to real humans (yes… actual conversations) You’re not pitching. You're not selling. You're checking for demand. Send this message to 10–20 people who either ARE your niche or know someone who is: “Hey! I’m working on something to help people who struggle with ____. Is that something you deal with? Or know someone who does?” That’s it. Light. Easy. Human. STEP 3 - Ask these 4 questions Let them talk. Let them use their own words. This is where you discover everything. Here are the only questions you need: 1. Do you struggle with this? 2. How big of a problem is this for you? 3. What have you already tried that didn’t work? 4. If someone gave you a simple step-by-step to fix it, would you want it? If they say yes, and they clearly feel the pain…that’s validation. STEP 4 - Look for 3-5 “YES” responses That’s all you need. If 3–5 people: - confirm the problem - talk about it in detail - want a solution The idea is valid and you can move forward. You don’t need 100 calls. You don’t need surveys. You don’t need a website. You don’t need perfection. You just need signal. STEP 5 - Move to the outline stage Once your idea is validated, you’re ready for two things: - Creating a simple outline - Building your first version (PDF, guide, mini-training, whatever fits your skills)
