At HobbyScool, January has never been a strong revenue month. In this experiment, I share why we moved to monthly virtual events, how a smaller January summit still made a profit, and what it revealed about building predictable revenue through repeatable event systems.ng.

I almost bought a course that was exactly what I was looking for — and didn’t.
Not because it wasn’t good, or because I didn’t trust the expert, but because the implementation cost felt too high. This post explores why experienced solopreneurs often hesitate to act on good ideas — and why the real problem isn’t the content, but the distance between insight and action.
