40 Insights from 40 Newsletters

Today, I’m sharing 40 of the most valuable insights I’ve gathered from the last 40 newsletters. Each one is designed to help you sharpen your marketing, build a stronger brand, and grow your business in meaningful ways. Let’s dive in!

1. Social media isn’t a numbers game, it’s a relationship game. The real win is turning followers into customers and loyal allies, not just likes on a screen.
   

2. Your weirdness is your competitive edge. Embrace it and you become a category of one. Be yourself confidently and unapologetically.
   

3. If you don’t promote yourself, no one else will. It’s your responsibility as an entrepreneur to reach the right people with the right message.
   

4. Your mindset shapes your reality. To achieve great things, you need to have unwavering self-belief and absolute commitment to your mission.
   

5. Marketing is powerful when simplified. Know your audience, meet them where they are, and build relationships to drive breakthrough results.
   

6. Before you write a word, ask: What does your customer already know? Understanding their awareness level is the key to crafting copy that converts.
   

7. The right marketing triggers can transform your business. By leveraging storytelling, urgency, and social proof, you’ll drive more sales.
   

8. Marketing isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing what matters. Shiny object syndrome is a marketer’s worst enemy.
   

9. One channel done right beats many channels done poorly. Focus your energy and simplify your operations to build a powerful content machine.
   

10. The most memorable content comes from trusting your style, not from following temporary trends or copying the biggest creators in your niche.
    

11. To be a true Maverick, embrace risk and reject predictability. Your boldest ideas are where the true opportunities lie.
    

12. High conversion isn’t about quantity, it’s about precision. Focus on your ideal customers with unrivalled intensity to unlock real opportunities.
    

13. Targeted connections over random followers. Leads over likes.
    

14. Engagement on social media isn't just about hustle, it's about strategy. Selectively nurture key relationships to amplify your influence without burning out.
    

15. Growing your network is just the first step. The real game-changer is turning those connections into conversations that lead to new opportunities.
    

16. Eliminate ruthlessly. You win by going deeper, not wider.
    

17. To be irreplaceable, you don’t have to be the best, but you must be unequivocally different so you become the only choice in your niche.
    

18. Build a content system with a swipe file, story bank, idea bank, and content backlog so you never run out of ideas again.
    

19. You don’t need a massive audience to launch your offer. Focus on connecting with the right people and testing your offers early and often.
    

20. Choose your next marketing channel based on relationship depth, not audience size. Start with email for direct access, then add video or podcasting.
    

21. Monetise your expertise by starting small. Focus on one service, build trust, then expand your offerings as you grow. Don’t overwhelm yourself.
    

22. Your perfect customer isn't just anyone, they're a reflection of your journey. Serve an audience that you truly care about and you'll build a business you love.
    

23. Working harder only helps when you’ve identified the right things to work on. Going all in on the wrong thing makes matters worse.
    

24. Spend time refining your content and adapting it to the platform you’re sharing it on. The difference compounds over time.
    

25. Your personal brand is the foundation of your business. You are the business.
    

26. There are 4 types of content that you need to build a strong personal brand: Growth content, Authority content, Personal content, and Sales content.
    

27. Success in content creation requires absolute commitment. Understand the game, set realistic expectations, and be ready to put in the work.
    

28. Credibility is the missing link that sets successful brands apart from those that remain in the struggle zone. Find ways to become more credible.
    

29. There’s so much value in consistency and repetition. So either accept boredom as part of the process or find ways to keep things interesting.
    

30. Create a content ecosystem following the 7-11-4 rule: 7 hours, 11 touchpoints, and 4 locations. Organic content is key to building trust.
    

31. To unlock new levels of creativity, collect diverse inputs, connect the dots, and convert your ideas into valuable outputs.
    

32. Sustainable growth comes from consistency and patience, not from constantly pushing beyond your limits. Manage your energy wisely.
    

33. Content marketing has a ripple effect on direct outreach and paid ads. You’ll get better results when your prospects are already familiar with you.
    

34. Many of our challenges and anxieties fade when we understand that we can desire something deeply yet remain indifferent to whether we achieve it or not.
    

35. Video content is the best way to build relationships at scale. It's the closest you can get to having a real-life conversation with your audience.
    

36. Consistency alone isn’t enough. Progress demands purpose, reflection, and adaptation. Always ask: How can I make this better?
    

37. Choose one business model, find your niche, create an irresistible offer, and commit to one client acquisition method until you make it work.
    

38. Copying ‘what works’ might get views, but it won’t build your brand. Stand out by challenging the status quo and carving your own path.
    

39. Get absolutely clear on who your ideal customer is. If you have an ICP (Ideal Client Profile) document, it’s time to update it. If you don’t, create one.
    

40. Dare to do things differently. Bet on your own ideas no matter how ridiculous you think they are. Ridiculous is often the answer.
