As you no doubt have heard on the news, the Seattle metropolitan area is experiencing "Snowmageddon," or as we like to call it, "weather."
We've gotten nearly two feet of snow (give or take a foot!) over the past week. It's made driving a...chore.
Yesterday, as I was driving down the bigass hill from our house to civilization, erm, I mean town, I thought to myself: "This must be how the early settlers like Lewis & Clark felt."
Provided they had internal combustible engines, anti-lock brakes, symmetrical all-wheel drive, leather-wrapped steering wheel, defroster, and heated butt warmers...
Okay, we've got it GOOD. And with all the bad & evil crap going on in the world (hunger, drought, war, a surge in completely preventable diseases, etc.), we are literally living in the best of times.
Of course, not all of us are living the good life. And by good life, I mean clean drinking water, plentiful food, and electricity.
Some of us are VERY unfortunate.
But let me say this: If you're able to read this, you aren't one of them.
Your belly isn't bloated. You're not suffering from actual hunger. And you're not dying of thirst or pestilence.
If you are, please stop reading this. Get yourself to a hospital. You need that more than this.
Let's take a moment that's not a national holiday to reflect on the magnificent world we live in. Celebrate. Give thanks.
Brings me to this quote from tennis legend Arthur Ashe:
- Start where you are.
- Use what you have.
- Do what you can.
Do not be discouraged about "where" you are. You're alive. Probably mostly healthy. Well-fed. Clothed. You have a roof over your head.
Start there. Take a look at what you have. You have more than any group of people in history, in terms of tools and resources available to you.
That was 9 years ago. Imagine what we're doing now. I guarantee you, it's MORE.
Once you've assessed and inventoried where you are and what you have, all you have now to do is what you can.
In business because you want to help people? Do what you can.
Are you an aspiring author? Do what you can. Don't know what that is?
Here it is (revolutionary, I know): WRITE
Want to become a world-famous philosopher? THINK and then share your thoughts with the world. There's YouTube, blogs, Medium, twitter, Amazon.
The world is yours to make what you want.
- Start where you are.
- Use what you have.
- Do what you can.
That's it.
Okay, I want to repeat an offer I showed you last week:
A colleague of mine, whom I respect a great deal, has created a course that's pretty damned good (I bought it yesterday) about niche marketing.
It's more like High Performance Niches and it's a great course.
Only $12.99 as I type this out.
It contains a wealth of information that builds on the Niche Marketing series I just published a few weeks ago.
It is my strong belief that if you couple those two resources (both links above) you will succeed in niche marketing.
Not only that, you will enjoy it, too.
Some highlights:
- The coursebook
- A spreadsheet with loads of keyword research data (this is invaluable and I'm thinking of adding to it as a special bonus for you if you buy through my link)
- Best Practices infographic (print it out, post it near your computer)
- A special report that helps you find even more profitable niches
- Tools to help in your niche marketing
- A handy workbook
The meat of the course is the coursebook. The good stuff:
- Power of the niche - page 4
- Business options - page 6
- Should you "niche" or "micro niche?" - page 9
- Evaluating a niche's potential - page 12
- Tools for niching down - page 19
- Refining your niche - page 24
- Action plan (super valuable) - page 29
As they say, all that and more!
I really like this course. It's going to help me get even better at niche marketing.
I think you should give it a long look. It may help you build some little "side hustles" that earn you consistent chunks of money.

Any questions, you know what to do.
And don't forget to forward this email to your tribe.
Cheers,
Bill
PS - I have no idea how long this price will be good for. It's not on a dimesale so the price is not changing. However, we know what that means: At any time, this course could rise in price up to its regular retail ($47).
