I don’t keep a notebook any more.
I used to.
I had one by the bed at night so I could write down ideas that arrived during sleep.
Most of them I couldn’t read or understand in the morning.
I’m sure they were brilliant, but…
Anyway, I’ve filled dozens of notebooks.
I keep them in a box that my wife keeps telling me to throw away.
I can’t.
I feels like my brain is in there.
I do keep some ideas in UpNote.
There are over 1300 notes in there.
I also have some in the Notes app.
There are over 100 in there.
These days I’ll open Claude, start a new project to post my idea and ask about viability.
One of the prompts I always use is – Tell me why this won’t work, be brutal.
That’s a useful prompt.
I had an idea about making better use of PLR and WL products I owned.
I gave Claude access to one folder with a lot of products in it.
Some white label, some not.
This product is the result of a question I asked about which WL product I could build a useful tool from.

It took a couple of days to produce because there were some strict guide rails it needed to stay between.
Mostly to do with sticking to the facts, and reducing the tsunami to a single path.
Swamped by your own tsunami of half-tried ideas, not sure what the next step is?
This might do the same thing for you.
One path, not too many confusing options.

If you do, you are probably over 65 and live (or lived) in Liverpool, UK.
The rest of you probably know that band better as The Beatles.
That group had four name changes in four years before they made a name for themselves.
When you think about it, most highly successful bands either had multiple name changes, multiple members, or changed what type of music they played before they hit the big time.
Not every start is on the right track for the people involved.
I can’t explain that.
You’d think that if one group can be successful in one genre, any other group who chose the same genre would also be successful.
But that’s not the case.
My brother played in bands for many years.
Started in rock bands, ended up in reggae bands.
Both genres have highly successful bands with global recognition.
None of his bands ever made national recognition.
He persisted in his playing, but perhaps he should have done something different.
Many bands became successful after a pivot.
Perhaps music wasn’t the career for him.
Perhaps it was, but not in that setting or genre.
We’ll never know.

These days a carefully crafted AI tool can act as a business consultant and guide you to the scenario that works for you.
This one doesn’t just tell you to pivot, which is what most of these tools default to.
It checks whether AI could fix your actual bottleneck first, without changing direction at all.
And if your market’s genuinely gone, it says so, instead of selling you a fix that wouldn’t work anyway.

We have a small pump linked between our water tank and the toilets.

We have a small pump linked between our water tank and the toilets.
This runs over winter to use the rainwater rather than send it down the overflow.
It saves a little on our water bills.
That pump ceased to do the one job it is asked to do.
I bought a replacement and spent an hour or so today installing it.
The confusion comes from reading the simple manual.
Under the heading – Maintenance
It clearly states – The pump is maintenance-free.
But then it follows up with – To ensure a long lifespan, the pump should be regularly inspected and serviced.
To me, those two statements are incompatible.
The last pump survived 10 years, I expect this one to last as long.
Even without any maintenance.
Manuals do that for legal reasons, I suspect, covering every base regardless of what it does to the reader.
You’ll find the same kind of confusion in sales pages and blog posts too, for a different reason: someone crammed in every keyword they could find and never checked whether the sentences still agreed with each other.
That’s the confusion I used to have with keyword research.
Do you use the ones with the biggest searches, like I used to?
Do you try to figure out the buyer intent and only use those?
Trevor has figured out something that’s so freaking obvious, once you see it, that it annoys me.
I didn’t see it first, bummer.

We all do keyword searches.
I have always struggled with keywords.
How do you know which keywords attract people?
How do you know which keywords attract the right people?
If you use high search volume keywords you will get lots of visitors, if you rank.
But, are any of them any good to you?
Even if you’re only using adsense or an alternative, you still need people to click the ads to get paid.
If you’re looking for subscribers and you offer a freebie, you’ll get freebie seekers.
Some freebie seekers are buyers, most are not.
We all understand that we need to attract people who are buyers.
That means we need to rank for keywords with buyer intent.
Which ones are those?
How many thousand keywords do you have to assess to find those?
I know there are a lot of questions in this email, but these are the type of questions we all ask ourselves.
Despite all the great posts, videos, tools, etc. that are available, none of them really answer those questions.
I’ve tried almost every method.
This one flips keyword search, instead of guessing which keywords attract buyers, you start from pages that are already getting buyer traffic and work backward.
Simples.

I had that once.

I had that once.
Well, that’s what my doctor called it.
It’s not quite true though.
I definitely had some of the symptoms, but not all.
My problem was constant fatigue due to a lack of sleep.
If I stopped moving, I fell asleep.
That’s a bit of a hazard when driving any distance, which I did most days.
To combat that during the day I drank copious amounts of coffee and caffeinated drinks.
I discovered, accidentally, that washing a mouthful of instant coffee powder down with an energy drink kept me awake for hours.
The heart rate was a bit excessive though.
Not recommended.
Then my wife got ill and I had to stop working to care for her.
I think that saved my life.
I was working 18+ hours daily, running a service business.
Grinding is not a solution, but I didn’t know any better, then.
I’ve since learned that working hard is not the path to success.
Working smart is.
AI makes working smart so much easier than it used to be.
A good AI tool with good prompts can get 80% of your work done in minutes.
You still have to edit and refine, but it’s so much easier to refine a draft than it is to start from scratch.
The best tool to use is the one you’re comfortable with.
I mostly use Claude because I’ve fine-tuned it to work with me.

There’s a weird human trait that gets us every time.
This one has nothing to do with your phone listening to your conversations and Google showing you ads related to them for days.
This one is built into your DNA.
At least, that’s where I think it is.
It’s that selective attention we have.
When you buy a new (to you) car, you start seeing the same make and model everywhere.
You rarely noticed them before.
Or you buy tickets to a show, then you see the posters everywhere.
If you think this is just me being my normal odd self, Google ‘Baader-Meinhof phenomenon’, or ask your favourite AI tool.
So what?
Well, one way you can use this is to mention something in your emails.
Not as a sales pitch, just in the normal body.
As a joke, a story, whatever.
Then, in the PS or the body, offer something related to the mention.
A bit like this.
I have a PDF that guides you, step-by-step, through building a custom project that will ask a few questions about your business and then help you create whatever you need to make it work better.
You’re building a tool that has that selective attention on your business to find everything that helps you.
Saves hours and hours of research.
