📰 When less is enough…


Hi Reader,

I’m going to keep this one short.

I’ve been under the weather for the past few days. Nothing serious, just low energy and a bit off. I had a couple of zoom calls today and also ran a live training for the Digital Stage Launchpad Program, but truthfully, I wasn’t feeling up to writing this newsletter.

Still, I wanted to show up. Because sometimes… less is enough.

In that spirit, here are five reminders from this week that less can actually be more:

1. When creating a course

In today’s Accelerator call, we talked about the pressure people feel to build the ultimate course. But the truth is, your most valuable course might be a single slice of a bigger topic. Just one piece of the puzzle. Just one transformation. That’s more than enough.

2. When consuming a course

We often think longer equals better. But for most people, a short, focused course is actually what they’re craving. Something they can finish. Something that respects their time. Completion leads to confidence.

3. When sending a newsletter

Normally I’d share a tip of the week, a piece of recommended content and a few resources. Not this week. Just this reflection, and this rhythm: showing up, even when it’s quiet. That’s what matters.

4. When choosing platforms

With every new tool or trend, it’s easy to feel like you’re falling behind. But doubling down on one or two platforms that actually fit your workflow can bring far more clarity and far less chaos.

5. When planning your week

This week I cancelled my livestream. I pushed a few things off the list and I literally just took a two-hour nap. None of that felt like failure. It felt like strategy. Because not every week has to be a breakthrough. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is protect your energy.

Sometimes, less really is enough.

Have a great day,
Alec
🙏😊

Hi Reader, When people ask me how I use ChatGPT, I tend to start with the same answer: it depends which level you’re talking about. Most people sit at the basic level. They type in a prompt, get an output, and move on. They are basically just getting it to do their bidding. A smaller group moves to level two, treating ChatGPT as a thinking partner. They bring it into their planning, their brainstorming, their strategy sessions. It becomes a sounding board and helps them generate new ideas. I...

Hi Reader, Let’s talk about “best practices.” In particular, e-mail marketing best practices! You know the ones I mean... the rules we’re told to follow in email marketing, launches, sales. Like: Structure your launch sequence to present the offer from different angles as people need to hear the message more than once. Stick to a single call to action... too many choices reduce clicks and confuse readers. Send multiple reminder emails on the final day to maximise conversions. The truth is…...

Hi Reader, One of the most common questions I get asked is: “How do you decide what content you share for free, and what you put behind a paywall?” It’s a fair question. Especially when I’ve been speaking at quite a few free events lately. Today, for example, I’m kicking off the free "No Editing Required" Workshop with Ecamm, which starts in just a few hours. It’s a hands-on, practical series that shows how I create all my video content in one take, without edits. (You can find all the...
