Helping you skip years of mistakes in online business with real tools and strategies that actually work.
🧹 Time for a Winter App Cleanout
|
A friend of mine told me something interesting last week. “Minosh, I’m done grabbing those holiday software deals.” I asked him why. He said he used to grab every offer that looked useful. Twenty percent off this. Lifetime access to that. Every new tool the internet treated like it could fix his whole life with one button. At first, he thought he was being clever, saving money, and felt like a secret tech ninja collecting weapons. Then he noticed something. Most of those tools sat there untouched.And the worst part, he was walking through mud every time he tried to get work done. Password reset here. Update this app there. A popup from some tool he tried months ago and forgot to cancel. Every simple task turned into a choice between many tools. If this feels familiar, your tool stack might be the problem, not you. Big companies run on huge software stacks and many of us copy that without noticing. The result is too many logins, too many settings, and very little focus. Let’s make sure this stops happening to you. ➡️ Make a tool map Write down every tool you use, how much it costs each month, and what job it does. Just one simple list. If your list still has ten different apps just for notes, plans, or docs, Notion can handle most of those in one spot. That’s what I use every day, along with Todoist for my personal stuff. ➡️ Cut what does nothing Look at the last 60 days. If a tool has not saved clear time or helped you make money, cancel it. You can always come back later if you really miss it. You don’t need both ChatGPT and Claude either. Pick the one you use the most and drop the other. ➡️ Pick one tool per job Choose one main tool each for email, website, analytics, and AI. Stick to those. Only add a new tool when you have a real reason, not just curiosity or if you see a cool offer you are going to miss out on tomorrow. If your setup looks plain but you actually know what’s going on, you’re winning. Stay curious, Minosh.

Yesterday, I read about a creator named Jackie Dubois. She started a TikTok account to share her paintings. She grew past 230,000 followers, and her art sales turned into a six-figure income. Then she quit social media. Not because she failed. Because the push to post all the time, deal with comments, and stay on was messing with her mind. She said in her own words: “It’s really overwhelming — the highs and the lows.” She is not the only one feeling this. Her story lines up with what the new...
Last night, I was reading a Forbes article about connected marketing for 2026. It talked about how big brands are finally treating all their channels as one system, not random posts. And I thought, this is exactly where many online business people get stuck. See, for example, you post on Instagram, write a blog, send an email, but nothing seems linked. The idea is simple. Every channel should help guide one person on one clear path. Start with the first click, build up trust step by step, and...
You sit at your laptop, adjust the gaps, feel good, and press publish. Then someone checks it half asleep on a bus, holding on with one hand, with your whole content packed into a tiny phone screen. Most people do that now. Around 96% use the internet on their phones (Global Overview Report, DataReportal), even if they sometimes use a laptop or desktop (60%) too. Still, mobile is where most of the action happens. So if your content looks good only on your laptop but is hard to read on a...
