"I'M SO WOKE!" -Me, upon discovering the joy of frozen blueberries in a bowl for breakfast
Look, you guys! It's an illustration of ME! What a fun thing to wake up to. 🦄 (And the article is finally out, too!) https://t.co/5QMj4JDD5Y
You cannot be happy if you cannot be YOU.
Currently watching @marieforleo on her live webinar for B-School—and she's talking about the ONLY thing I swear by… https://t.co/EgDgSZvC0J
T-minus 8 days 😈📖@penguinrandom @portfoliobooks @virginbooks
Awwww shittttt. It's about time. ---> Four-day week: trial finds lower stress and increased productivity https://t.co/d0xSP1xcwH
…I realllllly want to make a joke about B-School opening its legs, but I will refrain from being ever-so-classy. Instead, I will tell you, in equally classy big, caps letters, THAT AS OF 10AM EST THIS MORNING, B-SCHOOL IS NOW OPEN FOR REGISTRATION! Which either means you’re rushing to register, or you’re about to kill yourself. It’s […]
OKAY. I just have to say this before I freaking hurl a tray of freshly-baked carrot fries across the room. (What? They’re good. SPRINKLE THEM WITH SOME CUMIN.) So today at 8:32am I got a text from a friend—like, an actual, IRL friend—who is thinking about registering for B-School tomorrow (since she, like so many […]
So, the other day one of my best college girlfriends reached out and was all, “Ashhhhhhhhhh! I need your helpppppp! I’m trying to start an online business but I have no idea what I’m doing and you’re obviously the first person that I thought of, muahahaha.” (She. Is. Adorable. She’s been hand-painting wooden signs and […]
I have a mantra (despite wanting to slit my throat upon hearing the word “mantra.”) Are you ready? My mantra is this: WHO CARES HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT IT? GO ANYWAY. Which sounds really kinda wrong, right? We’re a culture based on f-e-e-e-e-e-e-l-i-n-g-s. But sometimes, you have to override the ones that I call false […]
So there’s this tall, spiky, sassy-ass house plant on my balcony—the thing looks like a punk rocker troll, or maybe a pile of swords, planted upright. (Scratch that, it’s definitely a pile of middle fingers. Oh, how apropos! THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING.) Anywauurrrrryyyyy, if I don’t water this motherfucker for just one day. Just ONE day. All […]
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 […]
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.
I made $103,000 my first year as a freelance writer and then 10x'd it—and now I'm teaching you all of my modern-day money-making secrets. Because the difference between a $25K year and a $100K one is simple, if you do it right.

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.
