Description

This is my monthly Founder Journal. A personal record documenting the decisions, lessons, and adjustments as I build toward a $1M business by the end of 2027.

In this episode, I’m capturing six lessons from January 2026, recorded in real time while building a mid–six-figure service business.

Lessons from January 2026:

• Scarcity works when trust already exists
• Breaking beliefs unlocks faster progress
• The game is heaven, not hell
• Value stacking increases perceived value in sales
• Simple messages need to be repeated often
• How we launched a pricing increase the right way
