Hi friends,
Learning how to make money from your ideas is not just a nice-to-have but a vital skill in our uncertain world.
If you’re trying to get any sort of business up and running this year, check out the free Talent to Money Summit from 7 – 8th June.
The goal is to support you in figuring out what kind of business you want to build and the first steps to getting it off the ground.
9 talented entrepreneurs will share their stories and key strategies for success. I heard that there are also going to be breakout rooms, panel discussions, and a manual to guide attendees through.
Now, here’s what I have for you this week. Let’s dive in…

Free Content Calendar Template
I’ve just released a new Content Calendar Template in my favorite project management app ClickUp.
This is the app we use at Forte Labs to manage the business (it’s like Notion + Asana + your task manager + your calendar had a baby).
I love it because it’s completely customizable and can be as simple and as sophisticated as you need it to be.
This template includes…
- a Kanban board to take every piece of content from idea, writing, editing, to published piece
- a whiteboard to brainstorm and let your ideas flow free
- a calendar view to plan your publishing schedule
- a space for documentation to capture your SOPs and guidelines

(Btw, signing up for ClickUp is free and their free plan is very generous.)

How to Grow Your Online Course With the Right Support
I hosted my first Twitter space on Wednesday together with course marketing expert Billy Broas.
We discussed what it takes to run and scale a modern online course, including…
- The 3 core functions every course creator needs to have covered
- Who you should hire first
- Where to find the right support
- How to start a course from scratch (hint: it’s not starting a course)
- How to continue to support your students after they’ve “graduated”
- And much more

P.S.: I need your advice: I’m going to start a book club for the Building a Second Brain book that comes out in less than 2 weeks.
Have you been part of a book club? If yes, what made it great/awful? If no, what would convince you to join one?
Any insights are much appreciated 😊
P.P.S.: Missed the last newsletter? I wrote about 4 different pricing models for your course, landing page vs. sales page, and my go-to tool stack. Read it here.
