The Biggest Project I've Worked On In 5 Years [Weekend WRAP 118]

Hey Reader, my apologies for the WRAP being a day late. It’s been one sick kid after another since the year began, and it finally hit ol’ Dad on Tuesday and knocked me off my game for a few days.

Today is a little bit different for another reason too, because I finally get to tell you more about this big project I’ve been working on the past couple months. I’ll also share a podcast I was on this week and a couple other links at the end.

Ok, I did mention this project last week — it’s the HeyCreator Summit! 🎉 It’s happening in 8 days, from January 22-26. I’m one of the co-hosts along with Terry Rice and Angel Marie… but that’s only the beginning 😃

I know you’re coming into this year with big goals for your creator business. Whether they’re financial, lifestyle, or audience growth goals, the HeyCreator Summit was put together with you in mind.

I’m thinking of you and creators like you as the speakers come together, the sponsors sign on, and we put together all the host material. Shoot, as I’m writing this email I’m thinking of people like Matthew Duffy, Charbel Simon, Tracy Winchell, and Tami Zak.

The whole reason this summit exists is to help you build, grow, and develop a business that fits your lifestyle and goals as a creator. And we’ve put together a list of amazing speakers to help you do just that.

There are 20 amazing speakers highlighting the event, including:

• Justin Welsh
• Rachel Rodgers
• Nathan Barry
• Amanda Goetz
• Justin Moore
• Jay Clouse
• Soli Cayetano
• Pat Flynn
• Ryder Carroll
• and many more!

All of these people, and thousands more (literally) are coming together in a week to help you make 2024 the best year ever as a creator.

So I have just one question to ask as we “wrap” up today’s newsletter. What if you had free access to world-class creators, all in the same week, with the advice and expertise you need to succeed in your business — would you show up?

I think you would, and I hope you will. You can learn more by checking out the HeyCreator website, or if you’re ready to sign up with a click, use the button below.

Startup Dad podcast 🎙️

I was a guest on the Startup Dad podcast this week, hosted by my friend Adam Fishman. Working with men, and dads more specifically, has been something I've leaned in to more the past year and look forward to continuing to do in 2024. Adam has a great show and I was thrilled to be a guest.

Building (and Keeping) Momentum 🏃‍♂️💨

I really liked this post from Jordan about why momentum is so important. He also shares 3 ways to build momentum. They're not outlandish, in fact many people would have the same 3 things. But it's helpful to see it explained along with Jordan's own experience.

Here's my favorite section:

Jordan O'Connor @jdnoc Why momentum is so important: As a solopreneur earning $300k+/year for the last 5 years exclusively via the Internet, I have found that the most important thing to achieve and protect for your business is momentum. Momentum isn't random. It can't be handed to you. You don't… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1737934879029911708 2:35 PM • Dec 21, 2023 18 Retweets 235 Likes Read 17 replies
