They say you should trust your gut, but I never really liked that saying. You want me to entrust this REALLY BIG DECISION on a bunch of leftover pizza and four Werther’s Originals? I prefer to say, “trust your inner anarchy,” mostly because at least that makes me feel like a little bit of an […]
So the other day I’m eating a giant meat kabob (not a euphemism) at a restaurant in Central America, when the manager— a dear friend whom I happen to know have gotten drunk with in my twenties—came over to jingle all the bells (also not a euphemism), talk shop, and send me off with a proper […]
Okay, so you know how I have been singing Bench’s praises all goddamn year? Like, psychopath level praises? WELL THIS IS WHY. I just logged into my account this morning, and here are a few of the numbers I can see with just a click: $34,422.64. That’s how much we spent this year on monthly subscriptions to software and […]
Last week I gave you a savage script for what to say when you want to raise your rates come the New Year—without seeming like a total grabby, greedy, ungrateful weirdo. But guess what? This fun train’s just begun, because this week, YOU GET ANUTHAAA ONEEEE. It’s the middle of December, my friend, and that […]
Haiiiiiiiiii! It’s December, and you know what that means! TIME TO RAISE YOUR RATES. You need to send the following email to your clients RIGHT NOW. (Like, right now. Especially because today is Friday, and this email is always served best on a Friday with a beer.) Now then. *clears throat* This miraculous email that […]
Repeat after me: You are not a bother. You are not a bother. You are not a bother. You are not a bother. You are not a bother. YOU ARE NOT A BOTHER. You’re doing me a favor by being there. You’re doing all of us a favor by bringing your work into the world. […]
By “insta-boner,” of course I mean something much more polite, like “oomph.” But who uses the word “oomph” these days? It’s completely out of the question. So, I thought I’d go with boner. There we have it, I’ve officially topped myself in the vulgar department. But, hey, this is how you write for the Internet: you […]
Not being able to say what it’s about IN ONE SNAPPY “AH HA!” SENTENCE. In other words, the pitch. Oh, the pitch! I know, I know, you’re groaning already. But here’s the deal: you need to frame your work around a tight, contained hook that instantly makes sense to other people—and you have to do […]
Trust your own voice. Trust your own voice. Trust your own voice. Trust your own voice. Trust your own voice. Trust your own voice. Trust your own voice. Trust your own voice. Trust your own voice. Trust your own voice. AND ALSO… Stop putting “I think” before your opinion. It weakens your impact and makes […]
For a long time, I declined all podcast interviews. Not because I am a grade-A, melodramatic recluse, but because I wanted to give ALL of my attention to THE BOOK. …And then Jess Lorimer came along. And she asked me to talk about selling yourself like a pop star. And she did so with her […]
Because let's face it: asking for money is hard. And running your own business takes thick skin and all new kinds of smarts. Good thing there's a playlist for that.
Starving artist who? The Internet has changed the game forever. Now you can create your own chances—and make more money than ever with your art—starting now.
Go, go, go. If not you, who? The world is relying on you to stand up and create the thing that only you can. Your story, your way, your perspective is unique, and we need you to show up, right now.
There are going to be days when you'll want to give up. There will be days when you'll start to doubt EVERYTHING—including, most notably, yourself. I got you, babe. I GOT YOU.
Circumstances are not life sentences. It's about learning how to become self-made—and never depend on anyone else again.
What you SAY is always more important than what you SELL. You can have the best idea in the world, but if we can't package & pitch in a way that turns heads? It falls on deaf ears. And there is no greater tragedy.

Lately, yours are the ONLY emails I've been reading. The rest have hit the ol' trash can, but not before I unsubscribe. I don't think I'll ever unsubscribe from you. Your emails offer more value than some of your competitors' paid courses. Seriously!!
There are many consultants out there, in the internets, but I like that you have your own style. Your writing and general design feels very good, and what's most important—you get to the point with every email. Bravo for creating a unique brand.
You have given me the strength to really push myself and get my company in “actual motion”. You really are making a difference and I applaud you for helping us newbies find the light. Thank you for being you and not apologizing for it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Just, THANK YOU.
I love your e-blasts; it's pretty much the only email I open right away. Thanks for being a bad ass and sending out good stuff.
Your daily blogs are incredible, Ash. Keep going.
Wanted to let you know how much your emails help me—it's like a daily sesh with a life coach. You make me think.
When I first started following you, I was a stodgy and stiff wannabe entrepreneur, trying to be “all professional.” But while working through your material, I found my voice, my humor, and my willingness to show the f*ck up and just be me. So, thank you for that. Keep serving up the perspective brilliance and the sass that the world needs.
I love your daily emails. Truly. It's like you're following me around, listening in on my client calls, and then crafting the little something that I need to hear that day. So, thanks for that!
Yours are the only emails I actually look forward to opening. I truly appreciate your real talk with a side of sass because it is very hard to come by in the personal development/entrepreneurship sphere. Your words have inspired me (as I'm sure they've impacted many others) to take action in a way which feels right rather than doing something because that's how it's always been done. So, thank you. And keep doing your thing.
I love you and I will never unsubscribe. Your loyalty to your work, regardless of the “consequences,” is the reason why. Art for art's sake. Thanks for letting us watch you sprint.
