"The only paid thing in my inbox I'd genuinely miss. It reads like a founder friend who's two years ahead of you." — Priya N., studio owner, member for 14 months

What's inside

Everything a one-person business needs — nothing it doesn't.

Membership is built around six things. If these aren't worth more than the price of a lunch each month, don't join.

✉️

The weekly letter

One essay every Tuesday on pricing, positioning, energy management and the unglamorous mechanics of a calm business. No filler weeks.

📚

The full library

Every past essay and playbook — 130+ pieces, organised by problem, not by date. Searchable, skimmable, yours while you're a member.

🛠️

Playbooks & templates

The working documents behind the essays: pricing worksheets, client scripts, the weekly review template. Copy, adapt, use.

🗓️

Monthly workshops

A 60-minute live working session each month — one topic, applied to your business, with the replay in the library within 48 hours.

💬

The community

A quiet, well-moderated space of ~400 solo founders. One thoughtful thread a day beats a firehose. Guidelines enforced, promo-free.

🎯

Quarterly focus sprints

Four times a year we pick one lever — pricing, pipeline, product, process — and work it together for three weeks. Studio tier gets a pod.

How it works

A rhythm you can actually keep.

Memberships die when they demand more time than they give back. This one is designed for 45 minutes a week.

Every Tuesday

The letter lands

Read in ~10 minutes. Every essay ends with one thing to do this week.

Thursdays

Community thread

One prompt, everyone answers. This is where members say the real numbers out loud.

First Friday

Live workshop

60 minutes, one topic, bring your own business. Replay posted within two days.

Quarterly

Focus sprint

Three weeks on one lever with check-ins. Optional — but members who do one stay twice as long.

Membership tiers

Pick the level of involvement you want.

Same writing at every tier — the difference is access and proximity. Upgrade or downgrade anytime; the change applies at your next billing date.

Annual = 2 months free

Member stories

What members say when we ask "why do you stay?"

"I raised my retainer from $2.4k to $3.5k using the pricing essay and the email template, word for word. Paid for years of this."

MK

Marcus K.

Brand designer, member 2 years

"The Thursday threads are the only place I can say 'revenue was down 30% this month' and get useful answers instead of platitudes."

JS

Jenna S.

Course creator, member 1 year

"I joined for the essays and stayed for the sprints. Shipped my productised service in the spring sprint — first sale in week two."

Questions

Fair questions, honest answers.

Can I cancel anytime?
Yes — self-serve, two clicks from your account page, no email required, no retention dark patterns. You keep access until the end of the period you've paid for.
What if it's not for me?
Every new membership has a 14-day guarantee. Reply to any email within 14 days of joining and we'll refund your first payment in full — no forms, no "quick call".
How much time does it take to get value?
About 45 minutes a week: 10 for the letter, the rest optional. Members who only ever read the Tuesday letter still renew — the community and workshops are compounding extras, not homework.
What's the difference between the tiers?
The writing is identical at every tier. Member adds the library, workshops, community and sprints. Studio adds proximity: a quarterly 1:1 and a six-person sprint pod. Most people start at Member and move.
Is the community another noisy Slack?
No. One prompt thread per week, tight guidelines, zero self-promotion, actively moderated. It's deliberately quiet — the goal is one useful conversation a week, not a second job.
Do you offer purchasing-power or student pricing?
Yes — email us from your account and we'll sort out a fair regional rate. Nobody who genuinely wants to be here should be priced out by geography.
