Got a tech issue or bug with the course, Sage or the blueprint? Drop it here and we'll figure it out together. If we keep all tech stuff and bugs in this thread it doesn't get lost in the chat and it's probably easier for Jim to see as well if there are recurring issues.

I, Nick, am here because I really want to make changes in my work life. I'm starting to hate my 9-5, despite it being easy and stress free and providing me with an income to enjoy life - but I am not fulfilled or mentally stimulated by it in any way. I have ideas about how to do my own thing, but am of course procrastinating, having trouble deciding what exactly to do - I have a mind with a lot of tabs open! Will I make the right choice? Will I be able to persevere and actually complete something - that's a rare occurrence. But I know I will really hate myself and be depressed if I'm still where I am now, at the end of the year, with no sight of anything changing. I commit to not expect perfection from myself, will do the exercises to the best of my ability, and engage with the community. I will keep reminding myself why I started this and think about how I shall feel when I reach my goal(s), which I am still defining. I've always been happy to offer help, but I'm not good at asking for it - I will be working on that. I'm running out of time to feel what I do is worthwhile and to provide for myself in the years to come. This HAS to work. I will not let the small barriers and failures I will encounter along the way, derail me from my aims! My Big Rocks are to create a successful enterprise from ONE of my ideas and finish a creative project I start - they are kind of tied in together. When it gets tough, I will return to the principles of why I'm doing this and where I could be in 6 months or a year. If I can help anyone along the way, I shall offer my humble assistance and not be scared to seek assistance in return. I still feel I may try and do too many things and spread myself too thin, but will try and be more aware of this and take a step back and rein things in.

I'm here because I'm entering a new chapter of my life and I refuse to bring my old patterns into it. I'm in a new city. I'm building a life with my wife. I've left a job that was just good enough to keep me comfortable and completely stuck. And I know — I've known for a long time — that there is no point in starting new businesses, publishing new apps, or building anything else if I keep going in circles the same way I have for years and never take the last step of bringing it out into the world. I'm done building things in silence. I'm done with projects dying on my hard drive. I'm done going one meter to the left and one meter to the right, still circling my starting point. I'm done telling myself "this isn't really what I want to do" right at the moment when something gets close to real. And I'm done tolerating the voice that says nobody is interested, that it's not worth it, that putting it out there will expose me as a fraud. I know what's actually going on. I build to avoid showing. I start new things to avoid finishing the current thing. I prepare endlessly to avoid performing. And it's been incredibly frustrating — because the freedom I'm striving for is on the other side of the exact thing I keep avoiding. I'm 40. I have skills, intelligence, and more ideas than I'll ever need. What I've been missing isn't talent or opportunity. It's the willingness to be seen. 🪨MY BIG ROCKS 1. Ship my work into the world. I will publish at least one project in the next six weeks — the YouTube channel, the ebook, or my agency site — and I will share it with strangers. Not just my wife. Not just friends. The world. Because the joy I'm trying to rediscover isn't in building. It's in the connection that comes from being seen. I already know this. My marriage is proof — Camille didn't fall in love with my potential. She fell in love with the whole, weird, real me. I need to offer my work the same deal: imperfect, visible, and out there. I will also have real conversations with potential clients about their actual problems. Not rehearsed pitches. Real human conversations. Because I only need one or two websites per month to earn more than I did before — on my own terms, with more freedom, doing work I actually care about.

My Big Rocks for these six weeks: **Create Before I Comply** — my creative work gets my mornings, before my day job gets a single drop of my best energy. And **Ship Before It's Ready** — done letting perfectionism keep my best work locked inside me. I've spent years giving everything to work I don't care about and leaving scraps for what actually matters. My nervous system has been screaming at me to change this. I'm finally listening. 🖊️I'm going to start treating the day job like the side hustle and doing what really matters by devoting time to my creative endeavors before I ever clock in. My Full Commitment Letter (to keep myself accountable to ME.) I'm here because my nervous system has been screaming at me to change things, and I'm finally listening. For four or five years, I've been caught in the same cycle: I start a day job, I mask incredibly hard, I lean into perfectionism and people pleasing, I excel quickly — and then I burn out because I have zero real interest in the work. By the time I clock out, there's nothing left for the writing and creative work that actually matters to me. I left my last job thinking a change would fix it. It didn't. The burnout followed me because the pattern followed me. I've been giving my best energy to someone else's dream and leaving scraps for my own. I'm done tolerating that. I'm done waking up at 3am with a pit in my stomach about tasks I don't care about. I'm done holding tension in my jaw and my shoulders because I'm forcing myself through days that work against everything my brain and body need. I'm done treating my creative work like something I'll get to "if there's energy left" — because there never is. I'm done coasting through workdays I hate and then having nothing left for the writing that makes me feel alive. I'm 43 years old. I've spent decades performing a version of myself that isn't really me. I want to show up authentically in all the ways that matter — for the first time since I was a young girl.

Hi, I’m a therapist and life coach, have done a ridiculous amount of trainings and had 47 jobs and counting! I used to berate myself for being ‘a jack of all trades , master of none’, but now I realise it’s not a bad thing as ‘one size doesn’t fit all’ but now I’m really struggling with trying to package all my knowledge into what would be the most helpful form, ie I really am finding it SO hard to focus in on one thing I can market and sell.
