All right, everybody, welcome back to the podcast.

On today's episode, I want to dig into the mailbag.

I love it when email questions come in.

Here's a good one.

James asked how to replace your income with the business in the one to two year time frame.

So James owns a subscription tea company. It's a great looking website. He has a nine to five job,

but it's a consumer tea subscription business profitable. He writes, I have many ideas

for creating experiences that allow people to experience time together in different ways,

but my concern is that I lack follow through. At this particular consumer tea brand,

we're doing $150 a month in sales. So we got that first dollar online,

but still obviously not enough to quit a job. For everybody listening to this show that runs a

business, we've all been at $150 of income a month from our business. So the first thing is,

James, you have taken the most important step. You're already ahead of 90%

of people who dream of making some money online. You've done it. Okay, so now we've got to figure

out what the next step is. So James writes, I have enjoyed listening to TMBA. Appreciate your

email. Subscribe to the email list. Appreciate that. I am a big consumer of business focused material.

I wanted to take you up on your invite to share what I'm working through. I've started several

side businesses over the years, but honestly, finishing has always been the harder part.

I get excited, I make progress, then I lose theme or shift focus before anything fully takes shape.

Lately, I've been thinking about how to break that cycle, but even working on just one idea

for a time is proving challenging. Curious if you've come across any habits, mental models,

or frameworks that have helped founders get better at follow-through.
