Welcome to The Bootstrap Bulletin! If you’re here, you’re probably a hustler, a doer, or someone who’s thinking about starting a business. Whether you’re already knee-deep in the grind or dreaming of your first venture, this newsletter is for you. I created it to help small business owners (and future ones) grow, get inspired, and find practical strategies to level up their hustle. But before I dive into why this is about to be your new favorite daily read, let me tell you a bit about me and why I care so much about helping small business owners.

A Little About Me (and My Wild Ride)

I’ve been self-employed for most of my adult life. Yep, you heard that right—no 9-to-5 for me. Over the years, I’ve started, run, and exited a few businesses. From slinging food in restaurants to building media companies, I’ve seen the highs and lows of entrepreneurship. Let’s just say I’ve learned more lessons than I care to admit (and probably made a few more mistakes than I should’ve). But hey, that’s the fun part, right?

Running a business is like riding a roller coaster that’s stuck in perpetual motion—you’re constantly climbing, plunging, and sometimes wondering if you’re going to fall off the track. But at the end of the day, there’s nothing more rewarding than building something from scratch, making it work, and watching it grow.

Why Small Business? Why Me?

I’m a firm believer that small businesses are the heart and soul of our economy. They’re where the magic happens. And let’s face it—if you’re running a small business, you probably have at least one moment a day where you feel like you’re juggling flaming swords while riding a unicycle. I get it. I’ve been there. And that’s exactly why I want to help.

But hey, if you’re still dreaming about starting your business, this is for you too. I’ve been in your shoes, full of ideas and excitement, but also unsure where to start or how to avoid falling into the same traps. Whether you’ve already jumped in or you’re just thinking about taking the plunge, I’ve got your back.

I don’t just want to throw advice at you like some self-proclaimed guru—because, frankly, there are enough of those around. I want to help you navigate the grind, scale your business without losing your mind, and, most importantly, make your hustle a little easier and a lot smarter. No fluff. No nonsense. Just the good stuff.

The Bootstrap Bulletin Mission: Help You Hustle Smarter

If you’ve been trying to navigate the wild world of small business without much luck, I’m here to change that. The Bootstrap Bulletin is your daily dose of real-world, actionable advice—designed for the everyday entrepreneur, solopreneur, aspiring business owner, and small business owner who’s tired of hearing the same old generic advice. Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to grow your existing business, you’ll get practical strategies that actually work (no, seriously, I’ve tested them).

Here’s the deal: you don’t have time for fluff. You don’t need a 12-step process or some fancy e-book—what you need are quick, actionable tips that you can implement right now to make your business run smoother and grow faster. That’s what you’ll get every day in The Bootstrap Bulletin. You’ll get:

  • Real-World Tips: These are the same strategies I’ve used (and still use) to keep my businesses growing. No “theory”—just results-driven advice that actually works.

  • Success Stories: Because everyone loves a good underdog story, right? I’ll share what’s working for other businesses, from solopreneurs to blue-collar hustlers. If they can do it, so can you.

  • Tools and Hacks: Because running a business without the right tools is like trying to drive a car without gas. I’ll hook you up with the best software, apps, and resources to make your life easier.

  • Mindset & Motivation: Building a business can be exhausting. Some days, you’re riding high, and other days, you’re questioning why you didn’t just get a desk job. But remember: it’s all part of the ride. I’ll share motivation to keep you going when the going gets tough.

Why Am I Doing This?

Here’s the thing: I’ve been in your shoes. I know what it’s like to juggle a million tasks, make tough decisions, and wonder if you’re doing it all wrong. I also know what it’s like to hit that tipping point—the moment when your hustle starts paying off and your business starts to grow faster than you can keep up with. There’s nothing like it. And I want to help you get there.

After years of building and exiting businesses, I realized that what I truly love is helping other small business owners. There’s something so satisfying about sharing what I’ve learned (the hard way) so that you don’t have to repeat my mistakes. I’ve seen what works, and I’m here to pass that knowledge on.
