"I have not felt progress like this in months"

>> I'll be sending a few emails about this bonus offer this week. If you are certain you don't want to join the Circle right now, CLICK HERE and you won't hear any more about this offer, but I'll still send you my regular DocDates <<

Hey Reader.

I could tell you what the Circle does, but the members say it better.

Dawn put it like this: "I have not felt progress like this in months and I really feel as though I can do this!"

Notice what shifted for her. Not the workload. The sense that the thing is doable, and that she can see her way through it.

Raechel was the only person on her course to hand in on time, and she says plainly that she puts it down to having me in her corner through her write-up. Louise, a DBA student, says the support keeps her making small steps towards completion, month after month. And Inka calls it "a secret superpower" to have me on her side, because the encouragement is always realistic, never fluffy.

Amanda? She passed her viva with minor corrections. Her examiners were impressed.

None of these people found extra hours in their week. They found order, company and a clear next step, and the hours they already had started producing something.

You can have the same, and if you join before tomorrow night you'll also get a bonus 25-minute laser session with me to find your own next step. That's not part of normal membership, and it ends Thursday at 9pm UK. Premium $19 a month, VIP $150 with only eight places at a time.

​CLICK HERE to join the Circle. The bonus session will automatically trigger as long as you join before Thursday 9pm, UK time.

Always in your corner,

Hey Reader.Hello! I was going through my inbox this morning, deleting emails. Lots of emails. Offers, guides, free downloads, must-do-this, open-this-now, here’s-how-to-fix-that kind of emails. You know the sort. And I caught myself deleting emails from people offering to teach me how to manage my Google Workspace, write better emails, organise my sales pages and all sorts of other things that I’m apparently doing wrong. And then I stopped - because I realised that I’ve actually got a fairly...

Hey Reader. It has been a while since I emailed you. I could pretend this was a carefully considered business decision. It wasn’t. Life got very full, several things needed my attention at once, and the emails slipped off the list. So I’m starting again with something useful. Have you ever read the same paragraph of an academic paper four times and still had absolutely no idea what it meant? The sentences look like English. All the right academic words are present. And yet meaning has failed...

Hey Reader. I'm going to be blunt today. Hope you're ready! Here’s something I’ve noticed after 20-plus years of supervising doctorates: most stuck students aren’t actually stuck where they think they are. They think it’s a writing problem, so they force themselves to write. They think it’s a structure problem, so the writing goes nowhere. They think they need to read more, so they read - but it’s a contribution problem, so the reading just adds to the pile. Different problem, different move....
