I paid a guy $100 two years ago and today I've paid him over $70,000. Cheap offers are underrated in this game. Some people will buy your expensive thing right off the bat. Most won't. They need to see your magic first.

The Day You Stopped Waiting For Permission 

Two years ago I did something that punched my ego in the throat:

I calculated how much money I lost by waiting.

Not by failing. Waiting.

I looked at my first offer (the one that actually converted reliably).

That thing fit on a screenshot.

I could have launched 8 months earlier if I had stopped "refining" it and just put it out.

8 months of "I need to get the funnel right." Of "I should figure out my niche first." Of "let me get the positioning right before I start."

These are all important. But in business there really isn't anything that matters more than the math.

At the revenue that the offer eventually generated, those 8 months cost me around $180,000.

Because I was telling myself I was preparing but in reality I was doing NOTHING.

My "working hours" were 80% spent scrolling twitter and 'learning'.

I was preparing to prepare. While that money was always available to me.

I just kept pushing the start date forward. The muse was waiting for me and I kept telling her "later baby".

Every week I delayed was a week of clients who would have said yes.

Real people with real money. And we both never got the chance to do something good here because I was busy "getting ready."

Getting ready went from a step to my cope.

The most expensive cope in the world.

It costs you nothing upfront.

But it costs you the "man I really did that" that feels so satisfying in the future.

It's robbery.

Robbery of the person and the state you could be in.

Because while you are getting ready, the people you could be helping and building a business with found someone else.

The solutions were available to them but you were not.

You could've been way better. But you'll never know. Because they didn't even know you exist.

And by the time you show up, their problem is either solved or they have moved on.

The doors were closing in front of you and you could've stepped in but you did not.

This is the hidden cost of taking your time.

When you have good intentions and you've created some sort of result, even for yourself, taking your time is not patience.

It's a parasite that slows you down.

I know because I had it for 8 months.

It wasn't even painful. That's the worst of it.

It looked like professionalism and the "right thing to do".

But it was just cope.

Coping with the fact that it might not work or that it might not make any money. (When it wasn't even making money in the first place so why was I so afraid?)

The market was ready for me but I was afraid of my own greatness.

They say we fear failing but I say we also fear greatness because we feel like we don't deserve it.

What I learned from losing those $180,000 is that the market does not care about your timeline. It has money and it's going to spend it and it's up to you whether you're in the flow or not.

It's not moving fast that's reckless. It's not putting yourself in a position to get lucky that's reckless.

7 steps to getting 7 clients to pay you weekly.

(So you get paid every day).

Before the Cashie Studio release on March 9th,

Lots of stuff coming to your inbox.

JK & Cashie

Final Step To 7 Clients That Pay You Weekly So You Get Paid Every Day 

Awesome week.

Many replies along these lines:

What they're referring to are the lines on the road to the thing we all want and very few achieve:

True financial freedom.

My main goal this month is helping people see that the path to financial freedom starts with the number 7:

Get 7 clients to pay you weekly so you get paid every day.

I've laid out the 5 steps in previous emails and today I'll give you the sixth and final one.

Step 1: Create an offer with weekly pricing in which you GUESS what problem to solve.

Step 2: Show it to 300 people before you even worry about your positioning or niche. The goal is to fail. To fail fast and see what doesn't sell. You want to turn a GUESS into a FACT by getting either a yes or a no.

Step 3: Repeat this until you get at least 3 yes'es for your offer. And now you have an offer you can trust.

(I've seen $10k/month businesses get built with JUST these 3.)

Step 4: Create Whale Bait so that when Whales visit your profile they will ask you about that offer.

Step 5: Create Moonshots to get a fresh stream of Whales.

These give you the trifecta:

1. An offer you can trust.
2. Whale Bait to turn the people who see it into clients.
3. And Moonshots to attract more of those.

These are all steps that other things take for you.

Your offer does the selling for you and your Whale Bait creates leads for you.

But the last one is one that you have to take yourself.

Step 6 is abandon.

Abandoning the version of you that wraps around your ankle and slows you down.

Abandoning the months one can take to refine an offer, find a niche or figure out the positioning.

Abandoning the version of you that prevents you from living up to a higher standard because of a FAKE story that keeps many hostage:

The story that there's more to be done.

It's the opposite actually.

The next level isn't unlocked by getting something you lack,

But by removing something you have.

The next level is unlocked through abandon.

Of abandoning the beliefs that don't serve you. The traits that hold you back. And the skills that frankly now fit you too small.

I'll tell you the favorite phrase of the 7 and 8 figure entrepreneurs I hang out with,

People that have achieved true financial freedom and are now pursuing intellectual and creative freedom.

Their favorite phrase is "I don't know".

They've abandoned their need to know what's going to happen in the future in exchange for a belief that they can create it.

The world doesn't happen to them.

They happen to it.

They don't need anyone to tell them that things are going to be fine because they've abandoned their need for it.

They have faith in themselves.

And in that the path will be revealed as they walk it.

Everything you want is already inside of you. You're already it.

Every moment could be a powerful moment if you so choose.

(Continued in comments)

Beware people on social media who disguise level 10 difficulty tasks as level 1 difficulty tasks.

The day is finally here.

Cashie Studio is live.

I won't re-explain what she does. You already know.

You know the goal is getting 7 clients paying you weekly so you get paid every day.

I don't know your work ethic or IQ so I can't guarantee you'll get them.

But I can guarantee you that right now, as of March 2026, you're ahead:

The smartest people I know are in a generational lock-in season.

They know that 2026 is the kind of year when you can compress 5 years of progress into 1.

Almost nobody really understands what Ai can do in their business.

But you know about Cashie. You DO know what Ai can do.

And you know that 2026 is the year when every entrepreneur has to pick:

Will you build while the window is open?

Or will you just watch?

A window like 2026 won't happen again in the same way.

But now it's here.

You're still ahead.

And Cashie is finally ready to team up with you.

To make 2026 the year you started getting paid every day.

Your Business Is A Math Problem

"You get paid today for the content you posted 3 months ago."

I think that's solid advice.

It takes a while to convert someone because trust takes time to build.

This checks out.

What doesn't check out is the math:

A standard coaching agreement may last about 3 months.

They vary but for this math exercise let's say the average is 3 months.

If it takes 3 months to convert a client,

And a client leaves in month 3 on average,

Then mathematically, you're always going to be capped.

3-3 = 0.

Right back at where you started.

The math is horrible but at least it tells you the truth:

The skill isn't the issue here. Nor is it your follower count or offer (or lack thereof). The main issue here is math.

Getting clients is still the goal, obviously.

But if the math always reverts you back to zero then something in the equation went terribly wrong.

The culprit is Sales Velocity (how fast you get a client).

If someone has to follow you, consume your stuff, build belief, watch a VSL, schedule a call, then a follow-up call, then make a decision and then get back to you...

That's a pretty long sales process.

And we're not selling to enterprises who need to talk to boards to make decisions.

You're selling to people who can make decisions on the spot. It's just that the model with which you ask them to make a decision is a LONG one.

Too long for the math to play out in your favor.

When you speed up your sales process the math plays out differently.

Let's assume you only changed 1 variable in your business. Just 1.

And that you figured out a way to reduce the time to conversion from 3 months down to 2.

The math then serves you and serves you well.

Because at the end of every 3 months, you would have more clients than at the beginning.

Growth.

Entrepreneurs spend a lot of time figuring out how to build something.

Just for today, don't think like the entrepreneur.

Think like the engineer:

Instead of building from the ground up,

Ask yourself if the ground is worth building on.

Look at the math.

Run the numbers and see how the typical math of client businesses just doesn't work out.

The rate at which you lose money and the rate at which you make it is the exact same. This is why even people with big audiences and great offers are stuck.

And they always go back to the same point.

Sales velocity needs to go up. The process needs to be faster or else you'll always revert back to the average.

And the average in this industry is pretty pathetic.

I'll share more on how we do this. But for today, take this question with you:

Are you following the math or are you fighting against it?

People are generally more averse to commit to you than to buy from you.

The worst business model is hopping around business models

If I see the words "transform," "skyrocket," or "optimize" on an offer I already know it's not going to sell.

A health expert i worked with couldn't explain what he did... "gut health optimization" wasn't landing with anyone.

His most profitable post ever was just a before and after picture of acne treatment.

If you struggle putting what you do into words... Imagery and contrast are great tools.

10 Ways I Use Cashie

What I'll give you on Monday removes the bottleneck of figuring and writing things out.

The bottleneck of doing things is still you.

2026 is the year money changes hands in the creator economy. AI made it so that those who move now look like geniuses in 12 months. The ones who wait are just going to end up with more of the same old thing.

Explaining things in less words than your competitors is a competitive advantage

How to write copy that makes people take action without giving the sauce away.

The answer:

Make them understand the world in a different way.

Founder @ Kennedy Creative | Helping B2B leaders dominate their category on LinkedIn and convert influence into revenue through content and outbound

Most executives treat LinkedIn like a resume.

I treat it like a revenue engine.

I work with enterprise B2B executives and founders in the 7–9 figure range to turn authority into measurable growth.

Through The Creative Catalyst Method — a system built on content + outbound — my clients transform visibility into deal flow, building 7+ figure pipelines in as little as 6 months.

And the results speak for themselves:
	
• 30+ MQLs generated in less than 60 days
• Clients getting 3+ leads every week with content + outbound
• A 5-figure deal closed by an agency in under 60 days
• $100K pipeline built in less than 90 days for a SaaS company

What makes this possible isn’t just content.

It’s the combination of strategic positioning, executive voice, and consistent outbound touchpoints that makes your brand unforgettable — and turns authority into revenue.

If you’re an executive ready to move from authority → pipeline → growth, let’s talk.

When I first started posting on LinkedIn, I was afraid of what people would think.

I’m not talking about strangers. 

I was worried about people I actually knew.

- Old friends. 
- Former coworkers. 
- People I’d see at networking events. 

But I did it anyway.

My fears were realized almost immediately.

“This isn’t really how you’re supposed to use LinkedIn.”

“People laugh at your LinkedIn posts at networking events.”

“Your beard is the worst.”

(Okay I didn’t actually get that last one) 

You start replaying it in your head.

Are they screenshotting it?
Are they mocking it?
Do I look stupid?

For a second, you want to delete everything and go back to being invisible.

But here’s what I learned:

The moment you step into the arena, you become a mirror.

• Your consistency makes other people uncomfortable.
• Your courage highlights their hesitation.
• Your action exposes their excuses.

It’s easier to critique the person posting than to become the person posting.

So they say “no one cares.”

But that’s not true.

If no one cared, they wouldn’t be talking about it.

If no one cared, they wouldn’t be laughing.

If no one cared, they wouldn’t feel the need to comment on it at all.

People start to care when you refuse to stop.

And here’s the funny part.

The same people who questioned it…
The same people who laughed…

Eventually start asking:

“How did you grow like that?”
“How are you getting inbound?”
“How are you turning content into clients?”

Funny how that works.

If you’re building something, expect resistance.

Push through.

The version of you on the other side of consistency will thank you.

The other day I got a cold DM from a college kid.

It was clear he never looked at my profile.

(also had strong automation energy)

If you’re doing outreach, your first message has one job:

Build trust in 2–3 sentences.

Here’s what actually works:

1. Prove you looked

Reference something specific.

- A recent post.
- A podcast they were on.
- A project they launched.

“Hey, saw your post about repositioning your business around revenue impact. The point about roadmap prioritization stood out.”

Now I know you paid attention.

2. Add personality

Sound human.

- A light joke.
- A relatable comment.
- A quick shared experience.

“Fellow dad trying to build online while kids are jumping on the couch over here.”

Now you feel real.

3. Make it about them

Curiosity > pitch.
- Ask a thoughtful question.
- Invite perspective.
- Open a loop.

Now we’re in conversation, not combat.

And here are 3 things not to do. I know from experience:

• Don’t lead with a Calendly link
• Don’t write a 7-paragraph essay
• Don’t pretend you “love what we’re doing” if you clearly don’t know

Outreach works. I’ve closed great clients from DMs.

But only when it feels like one person talking to another.

If you want a simple framework for writing trust-first DMs, comment “DM” and I’ll send you what I use.

graphical user interface, text, application, chat or text message

Almost every time I edit or coach someone on their LinkedIn content, the same 3 things need to change.

When we fix them, their content stops “looking good” and starts driving inbound conversations.

Here they are:

1. The Hook

The purpose of the hook is simple: Earn the next line.

Most people start with a platitude.

“Consistency is key.”
“Personal branding matters.”
“Mindset is everything.”

That doesn’t stop the reader.

Instead, use hooks that create tension, clarity, or curiosity.

3 quick hook formulas:

• The Pattern Interrupt
I almost quit posting on LinkedIn last year.

• The Contrarian Take
You don’t have a content problem. You have a positioning problem.

• The Specific Result
One small tweak to this post turned into an inbound lead in 48 hours.

Hooks are not introductions.
They are doorways.
	
2. The Flow

Most posts don’t stick to one coherent idea.

• Writers drift.
• They stack thoughts.
• They introduce side topics that dilute the main point.

I’ve been there…

A strong post:

• Has one core idea
• Builds logically from sentence to sentence
• Removes anything unrelated
• Uses spacing, bullets, or numbers to guide the eye

If it feels messy to read, it feels risky to trust.

Clarity builds authority. Authority builds demand.

3. The CTA

This is the quiet killer few talk about. 

People are afraid to tell others what to do next.

The other day I tweaked one client’s CTA.

Result? Inbound lead.

Strong CTAs that work:

• Conversation CTA
Comment “PLAN” and I’ll send you the framework.

• Soft Authority CTA
Follow me if you’re building your brand this year. I break this down weekly.

• Direct Pipeline CTA
If you want help building this for your business, DM me “Catalyst.”

If you don’t direct the next step, the reader leaves.

Most content doesn’t fail because the creator lacks talent.

It fails because it lacks structure.

Your content stops being boring and starts becoming pipeline.

If you want to rebuild your content engine the right way, my 1:1 Creator Catalyst program is where we do it.

DM me “Catalyst” and let’s talk.

In 10th grade, my dream of becoming a chemical engineer for DuPont was obliterated.

I’d wanted to be a chemist ever since I saw  The Absent-Minded Professor as a kid. 

Then I took trigonometry.

I hated it.

But I realized that my love for science had been replaced by a love of ideas. 

I became obsessed with politics and philosophy. 

That’s when I started noticing something: Formulas solve problems, but ideas move people.

It wasn’t until years later that I realized that people move markets.

That was the shift.

99.9% of founders I talk to think they’re in the product business.

They’re not.

They’re in the idea business.

- The idea behind the product.
- The idea behind the company.
- The idea behind the future they’re selling.

If the idea isn’t clear, the market doesn’t respond.

Writing is leverage. 

It’s how you scale belief.

When a founder realizes their ideas can shape markets, not just conversations… everything changes.

Here’s the real question:

When did you realize your thinking had more power than your technical skill?

Picture: My dad helping me my chemistry set in 3rd grade.

The force that pulls you into Lord of the Rings, the Bible, and an Apple keynote is the same force most founders never learn to use.

It’s metanarrative.

A metanarrative is the overarching explanation of how the world works.

It answers:

• What’s fundamentally broken
• Who the real villain is
• What the future should look like
• What kind of person thrives in that future
• And why now is the turning point

That’s why Tolkien and C.S. Lewis grip you.

There’s a corrupting force.
There’s a small band of unlikely heroes.
There’s sacrifice.
There’s destiny.
There’s restoration.

The Bible does the same on a cosmic scale: creation, fall, redemption, restoration.

Now look at business.

Steve Jobs didn’t sell devices.

He built a metanarrative around creative rebellion. Technology is liberation. The individual is up against the gray corporate machine.

Elon Musk’s metanarrative is that humanity survives by advancing and it looks like:

Multi-planetary life. 
Sustainable energy. 
Relentless innovation.

You don’t have to agree with them. But you know the story they’re telling.

Most $10M+ founders never define theirs.

- They post tactics.
- They explain services.
- They chase engagement.

But they never articulate:

→ What era is ending.
→ What era is emerging.
→ Why their company is built for the new one.

A metanarrative gives your content gravity.
Without it, you have posts.

With it, you have positioning.

If you want to develop one, start here:

1. Identify the dominant belief in your industry.
2. Define why it’s incomplete or outdated.
3. Articulate the shift that’s happening.
4. Define the type of leader who thrives in this new landscape.
5. Position your company as an instrument of that shift.

Repeat that worldview consistently.

Over time, the market begins to see through your lens.

That’s how industries move.

Not through louder messaging, but through clearer meaning.

Reading this and realizing this is what your executive brand is missing? Send me a DM.

When you’re building something, everyone talks about finding the right partners.

- Creators.
- Editors.
- Designers.
- Other founders.

That stuff matters. I love that part.

But there’s another side nobody posts about.

The numbers.

→ invoices scattered across tools
→ subscriptions you forgot existed
→ tax season quietly approaching

For a while my finances lived in a category called: “I’ll organize that later.”

Later never came.

Working with We Got Your Books changed that.

They took a jumbled mess and turned it into clean reports. My accountant was thrilled…always a good sign.

More importantly:

• I know exactly where things stand
• I stopped guessing month to month
• I actually sleep better

Sometimes the most valuable partner isn’t the one who helps you grow faster.

It’s the one who helps you breathe easier.

If you need someone to help clean up your books, reach out to Emma Smith. They’ll take great care of you!

I’ve talked to too many founders with 10,000+ followers and no pipeline.

Strong engagement.
Consistent posting.
Thoughtful ideas.

Still no qualified inbound!

That’s not an algorithm problem. It’s a positioning problem.

In the first issue of The Creative Catalyst, I break down:

→ Why attention and authority are not the same thing
→ The “invisible buyer” most founders ignore
→ Why publishing consistently doesn’t equal positioning
→ The shift I make with clients that changes inbound in 60–90 days
→ A simple test to see if your profile is building leverage or just audience

Most founders don’t need more content.

They need more clarity.

If you’re posting regularly but your pipeline doesn’t reflect it, this one’s for you.

I’ve spoken with this type of founder more times than I can count. They’ve built a respectable audience, they post consistently, and their engagement
