Issue #005 – Build Once, Sell Forever
💡 The Red Pill Moment
Most people stay stuck in the “time for money” trap. You work, you get paid. You stop working… nothing.
That’s employment. Even if you’re self-employed.
But here’s the shift: Build once. Sell it forever.
Whether it’s a template, a training, or a toolkit — your work should stack, not reset every Monday.
This is how you earn your time back.

✍️ Your Escape Move: Package One Digital Product
No overthinking. No perfection. Here’s a 3-step shortcut:
Pick a format: PDF, Loom video, Notion template, etc.
Solve one small problem: “How to build your lead magnet,” “5 headline formulas,” etc.
Sell it for $10–$100 using Gumroad or Payhip.
Bonus Tip: Add a “DM me for a bonus” to drive conversation.
Action Step: Create 1 product this week. Done is better than perfect.
