Issue #008 – Get Paid for Your Process
💡 The Red Pill Moment
You don’t need a finished product to make money.
You need a process someone else wants to shortcut.
People don’t pay for perfection.
They pay for progress.
Your notes. Your templates. Your rough drafts.
That’s gold to someone 2 steps behind you.
This week’s mindset shift:
👉 Don’t hide the mess. Sell the method.
🔍 Curated Gold: What We’re Reading & Ripping
🧠 The Creator MBA: Lessons from 6-figure content businesses
📹 Daniel Vassallo’s Portfolio: Real-time product-building transparency
🛠️ Airtable Universe: Pre-built dashboards and systems worth cloning
James’ Take: Stop waiting until it’s “ready.” People buy behind-the-scenes, not just polished outcomes.

✍️ Your Escape Move: Sell “The Unfinished”
Here’s how to turn your work-in-progress into a paycheck:
🧰 Turn your internal Notion doc into a “system-in-a-box”
📈 Share your behind-the-scenes journey and sell a weekly update
📬 Offer a “build with me” cohort or beta access group
🎓 Package your process as a playbook or micro-course
Don’t wait till it’s done. Ship the scaffolding.
People love being part of the build.
🙋 Outro: Let’s Keep Building
🔁 Forward this to a rebel in hiding
❓Feeling stuck? Reply with “WIP” — we’ll brainstorm it out
Keep shipping, keep stacking.
