Thank you for saying that people don't have to be your own boss to control your day! People don't realize how much time, effort, and stress it is to take that leap.

Though I do feel if you make a move in the future to become a solo-preneur, advisor, consultant, or full-time content creator, you'll have no problem having a waiting list of clients and customers!

Yeah, it's a lot to handle and it's not for everyone — and that's ok.

And thank you, my friend. That's very kind. :)

#5 is such an important one. Autonomy can look like a lot of different things!

"1. Your marketing tests are a waste of time." Thanks for putting into words what goes through my mind every-damn-time I see "Must understand A-B testing." The phrase, "at scale" is the perfect descriptor for anyone, anywhere, seeking results that actually inform. Otherwise, it's make work looking for justification.

Yes! Makes sense and great distinction. If/when I write this longer post, I'll need to create a definition for what viral means, or just use a different phrase entirely like "high engagement."
