Your next idea, your best offer, and one free tool to get there


Hey Reader!

Before we hop into all the goodness for this week, I had to share my experience with the new ChatGPT 5. Click Here to watch a super short video and see how it kind of blew me away.


Feeling stuck in idea overload? Or second-guessing what kind of product to create next Let’s take care of that today.

This edition’s all about tapping into what actually works. From generating your next product idea in seconds, to one mindset shift that’ll make your offers (and your process) better immediately.

Idea Spark: 10 Ideas in 10 Seconds? Yes, Please.

Have you ever wished someone could just tell you what product to create?

Well, that’s basically what I built and I recorded a quick demo of the Digital Product Idea Generator.

It's a free tool on my site that gives you 10 digital product ideas in seconds (based on your niche).

It’s fast, fun, and surprisingly helpful if your brain is currently a traffic jam of possibilities.

Try the tool yourself by CLICKING HERE, and then hit reply (or DM me on Instagram) and tell me all about it.

Micro Course Spotlight: Pick your winning idea… fast

Still swimming in product ideas and second-guessing what to build next? The Winning Idea Blueprint is a micro course built to fix that.

In one afternoon, you’ll walk away with:

🩷 A clear, validated product idea
🩷 A guided Google Sheet to map it out
🩷 A video tutorial
🩷 A bonus GPT tool - the Product Validation Assistant - to test your idea even without a big audience

Real Talk Corner: Are you using what you’re selling?

You’ve heard the phrase “use it or lose it.” Usually from someone in gym shorts.

If you’re creating a planner, a spreadsheet, a workbook, or a fancy Google Sheet… are you actually using it?

Can you open it easily?

Does the download make sense?

Would your past self know what to do with it?

This simple habit (testing your own product like a real user) can save you from a flood of “umm… it’s not working” DMs.

And the same goes for how you promote.

→ Posting on social? Scroll like a user.
→ Sending a newsletter? Read it like a subscriber.
→ Building an offer? Walk through the process like it’s your first time.

You don’t need to be perfect. But a tiny shift, acting like the customer for a hot second, can make your product stronger, your promo sharper, and your whole process so much smoother.

So, here’s an action step for you this week: Be your own user. You might be surprised what you catch (or improve).

Talk soon,
