Finding the right business for you is kind of like dating. If you are desperate you'll struggle to find 'the one' and if you do it will may just be a one night stand. You might need to 'kiss a few frogs' before you find 'the one'. For me I it happened when I wasn't looking. It was right under my nose. It was something that I was already doing to solve a problem for myself. Then people started asking me. "Can you help me do that thing". I became the 'go to guy' for that thing. After 50 people paid me to help them (I copy and pasted my thing 50 times), I turned it into an app. Is there something you are doing well that you can help others do? Often we don't value our own skills, but others would be happy to pay for what you do. It doesn't have to be your passion. Mine was boring. But it does have to solve a real problem.

Howdy y’all, I’m relatively new here and wanted to introduce myself and connect with others in this space. I recently joined the FF Accelerator cohort and have been really appreciating the container — but more than anything, it’s made me realize how long I was trying to do everything on my own. As a business owner with ADHD, ideas and motivation were never the issue. It was focus, follow-through, and carrying the whole thing solo. I’d start strong, get overwhelmed, then scatter or stall. What’s shifted lately is slowing down enough to clarify what I’m actually building, simplifying instead of adding more, and having real structure and humans around me. Over the past several weeks I went from a loose vision to a functioning high-ticket course with a small paid beta group — but the bigger change is internal. My nervous system feels steadier. My weeks feel clearer. My work feels more livable. I’m mostly sharing this because I’m curious who else here has wrestled with similar patterns — ADHD, overwhelm, lone-wolfing, or just trying to build something real without burning out. If that’s you, I’d love to connect. Feel free to comment or reach out. Always down to meet other founders who are building thoughtfully and learning how not to do it all alone. — Joe

Today is February 1st—the first day of one of the historically most challenging months for me, and for anyone else who suffers from seasonal affective disorder. As my grandma loves to say, "February is the shortest AND longest month of the year." But today is also the full moon in Leo, for all you astrology nerds out there. (Looking at you, @Matthew O'Brien! 😉) And this full moon in Leo is calling you—calling ALL of us—to step into our power and f*cking shine! To honor this full moon in my sun & ascendant signs (yes, I'm a double Leo, and yes, I am proud about it 😂🦁), I am proposing a challenge: 🌅 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗲 & 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝟮𝟭-𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 🌅 For the next 21 days, I’m committing to sharing one lesson per day about: - 🧠 Business & entrepreneurship - 🌱 Emotional regulation & nervous system stability - 💰 Abundance, self-trust, and sustainable success - 🧘‍♂️ Becoming a more grounded, embodied human And I’m inviting you to do this with me. 🔥 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗥𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀 🔥 Keep it simple & real: - Post one lesson per day (or whenever you feel called) - Short is perfect (3–10 sentences is plenty) - No polishing, no perfectionism - Lessons can be from wins, mistakes, patterns, or realizations The goal is to step into your power, shine your light, and OWN who you are. F*ck RSD. F*ck being "too much". F*ck being "broken". This is your time to take up space and show how f*cking powerful you really are! There are no prizes here. No one is tracking or keeping score. Miss a day? Come back. This isn't about perfection. This is about seeing how much JOY and EASE we can bring into our practice. Let's rise together. Let's shine. Are you with me?
