Work Less Wednesday: January 5
WLW #192
👋 Hey Reader!
This is issue #192 of Work Less Wednesday, where I share with you 5 things you should know about, in 5 minutes or less. That leaves you with 10,075 other minutes this week.
🎤 1. New Podcast – How Creative Entrepreneurs Close $100k Clients (Playbook)
Last week I dropped my first long-form podcast in some time.
It’s about how creative entrepreneurs can close $100k to $250k deals.
(Yes, it’s possible.)
It’s based on my real experience, documenting exactly what my 1:1 clients are doing right now to close $100k+ deals.
I promise, you can’t get these insights from ChatGPT.
It’s value packed, you don’t want to miss it.
Or click here to listen to the audio only version.
🗓️ 2. UPDATE: What’s Coming Soon From Me
I wanted to take a minute to share a quick update about what I’ve got in the pipeline.
Here’s what’s going on:
🤖 Workshop: How I’m Using AI In My Business – March 19 @ 10am EST
In two weeks, I’ll be hosting a special workshop for my paid Substack subscribers called “How I’m Using AI In My Business.”
It’s something I’ve gotten a lot of questions about (especially as the creator of How To Work Less, lol).
In it, I’ll be sharing tools, insights, and workflows of how I’m using AI in my business (no slop allowed) that are actually moving the needle.
This is stuff I’ve only shared with my paid clients, including the most requested question: how I’m generating viral images for my social media + Substack.
If you want to attend, just sign up the inner entrepreneur paid teir for $15/month and you’ll be on the list.
💸 How To Charge More Cohort 2 – Starts In April
Next month, we’ll be kicking off the second cohort of 💸 How To Charge More.
If you want to learn how to scale your business by charging much higher prices (minimum $10k), this is the place to do it.
We had an amazing first cohort, and I couldn’t be more excited about what’s to come (lots of improvements and updates).
Here are some of our results from last cohort:
- “I’ve gone from $24K a month to $44K a month.” – Taylor
- “$8k/month! Paid on Monday 🎉 Min 3 month. But the first month we have an onboarding fee so $25.5K total” – Alex
- “UPDATE: 3x client confirmed. A new 2x confirmed. Working towards a 4-5X.” – Daniel
- “Closed $10k/month retainer plus 10% revenue share – will be six-figure deal.” – Brooke
Click here to join the waitlist for cohort 2!
🤝 Consulting + Working With Me – Offer Update
I’m following my own advice.
Over the last year, I’ve realized that the skill set that I have is unique.
Very few people are able to do what I do.
And have the results to back it up.
I recently updated my business to reflect this, and my primary engagement is now 1:1 consulting for creative entrepreneurs doing $300k to 5 million per year.
I call it Creative Partnership.
The outcome of this engagement is my clients closing six-figure deals and adding their first (or next) million in revenue to their business.
I’m interested in working at the intersection of creativity, pricing, and inner work with the right clients.
If that’s you, I encourage you to check out this page.
🧘♀️ 3. Article I Loved This Week – Do Less by Cate Hall
I shared this article towards the end of last week’s Work Less Wednesday, but upon reflection, it deserves its own story.
In it, Cate argues that doing more is often counterproductive to getting the things that we say we want.
For example, reading more books, listening to more podcasts, and watching more YouTube videos doesn’t ultimately add any value if you don’t take the time to process it. Much like eating, “you don’t absorb more nutrition by eating faster.”
“Ideas work the same way. They have to be broken down, recombined with things you already know, connected to something you’ve experienced. That process runs on downtime — walks, showers, sleep, staring out windows. Cramming more in doesn’t help. It’s eating another meal before you’ve digested the last one.”
Cate is a great writer, I highly recommend the full read.

WLW #191
👋 Hey Reader!
This is issue #191 of Work Less Wednesday, where I share with you 5 things you should know about, in 5 minutes or less. That leaves you with 10,075 other minutes this week.
🤝 1. New Substack Post – You Need To Be Your Own Agent
My first Substack post in over a month (since getting hacked!).
This one starts with this question:
If you had the BEST agent in the world to sell your work on your behalf, what price do you think they could charge? Double? Triple? 10x?
If so, then the question you should ask yourself is…
WHY AREN’T YOU CHARGING THAT PRICE?
That is The Agent Gap.
It is the gap between what you COULD charge, and what you ARE charging, if you could advocate for your work more effectively.
Read the post to find out how to close that gap.
💸 2. How To Charge More Cohort 1 Is Wrapped! – Join The Waitlist For Cohort 2!
This week, we wrapped our first cohort of my new program, 💸 How to Charge More.
It was epic.
We had an incredible group of entrepreneurs come together to learn how to scale their business through charging higher prices.
Here are what a couple students had to say about their experience:
- “I’ve gone from $24K a month to $44K a month just doing the course, and I’m at the tip of the iceberg on implementing what it teaches. It is worth the time. And it is worth the investment to a silly degree – you’ll make it back on a single sales call.” – Taylor
- “The real value isn’t the tactics – though those are excellent. The real value is the inner work. Rich helped me see the things that were holding me back. My relationship with money. My limiting beliefs about what’s even possible to charge. He made the invisible visible.” – Patrick
- “$8k/month! Paid on Monday 🎉 Min 3 month. But the first month we have an onboarding fee so $25.5K total” – Alex
- “So far this month (Feb 19), I’ve already brought in $30k. Thanks Rich! You’re the best investment I’ve made in my business to date!! ” – Brooke
In April, we will be kicking off our second cohort of 💸 How to Charge More.

📖 3. Classic Literature I’m Reading – 100 Days Of Dante
This week I started a fun new challenge.
It’s called 100 Days of Dante and it is the world’s largest Dante reading group.
Here’s how it works:
Every day you read one canto of Dante’s The Divine Comedy.
You’re given an email with the reading, as well as discussion questions and a YouTube video with a scholar discussing the passage.
I’ve always wanted to read Dante and this felt like a perfect bite-sized way to get started.

📬 1. Substack Hacked! Update & Special Offer – Watch The 8-Minute Video
If you missed the news, last week my Substack got hacked.
Here’s what happened:
On Thursday evening, I got an email stating that my Substack account email was changed.
I was locked out of the account.

In under two hours, the hacker entered my account and:
- 🗑️ Deleted all 8,000 of my email subscribers.

📘 2. Book I’m Checking Out This Week – The Laws of Simplicity by John Maeda
Last week I discovered The Laws of Simplicity by John Maeda.
It is a short 100-page book that came out around the time that the Apple iPod took off.
It is, like its title, simple.
The book is about the balance between simplicity and complexity in design, technology, and business.
It still stands up even though it was published nearly 20 years ago.
🍋 3. Lemon Drink I’ve Been Drinking Daily – Andra’s Whole Lemon Anti Inflammatory Drink
I’ve been drinking this lemon anti-inflammatory drink (courtesy of Andra Sitoianu) for the last week and I’m not looking back.
The craziest part about it is…
You drink a whole lemon, peel and all.
Benefits include:
😌 Supporting thyroid and adrenal health.
🌿 Promoting detoxification of the liver, lymphatic system, and bowels.
⚡ Boosting metabolism.
💧 Reducing puffiness and bloat.
Here’s the recipe:
Make sure to buy organic lemons and actually clean them before you blend lol.
You can see a video on X or read a more in-depth article on Substack.
🤖 4. Watch My Buddy Jon Build A $450k Marketing Campaign With AI – YouTube Video
Ignore the clickbait thumbnail lol 🙄
Cool behind-the-scenes sneak preview of how my buddy Jon Courtney, CEO of AJ&Smart, is using Claude Code in his biz.
A lot of fun behind-the-scenes tidbits, including his “promoter blueprint” software, his marketing expert Claude workflow, and how he built a $450k webinar campaign with AI.

WLW #189
👋 Hey Reader!
This is issue #189 of Work Less Wednesday, where I share with you 5 things you should know about, in 5 minutes or less. That leaves you with 10,075 other minutes this week.
📤 1. My Substack Got Hacked – The Latest Update
My Substack got hacked 😵
Yesterday around 4pm I got an email that my Substack account email address had been changed.
Fortunately I noticed it quickly, but in under two hours the damage was done.
- Locked out of my account.
- My list of emails/followers was deleted and replaced with a spam list.
- In the process, $5,600 of paid subscriptions were refunded.
I was able to get ahold of customer support, who graciously helped with #1.
BUT #2 and #3 are still unresolved.
PAID SUBSCRIBERS:
If you are a paid subscriber, you got an email telling you you were refunded for ~$200.
That transaction is still pending.
Ideally we get it resolved before it goes through, but if not I will be reaching out to you individually to get you resubscribed so please keep a lookout.
Will share more on my IG if anything else comes up!
Bummer!
❗ 2. A Message For Artists & Entrepreneurs – Artists Don’t Fail Because They’re Bad
Killer IG reel I came across this week:
“A record producer in L.A. said most musicians don’t fail because they’re bad. They fail because their nervous system can’t survive the industry.
He said the biggest myth in music is that success depends on exposure. “No,” he said. “It depends on whether your body can handle being unseen longer than you expected.”
Most artists quit not because they’re untalented, but because their brain interprets silence as danger. The industry doesn’t break voices; it breaks nervous systems.
Emotional durability is the ability to create when the numbers drop, to write when no one cares, to perform after rejection number 47—or 447, or 4,000,047. It’s staying human when algorithms treat you like a product.
He said 90% of rising artists crumble not from hate, but from the invisible weight of being ignored.”
Watch the full thing here (2 min).
🍎 3. App My Wife & I Are Using For Grocery Lists – AnyList
This is a simple one, but in our house this has always been a problem:
“What do you want me to get at the grocery store?”
Finally solved it by creating shared shopping lists in AnyList.
Now we have a shared list that both of us can access on our phones to add items to over the course of the week as we run out/use stuff.
Then when it comes time to go to the store, the list is ready to go.
Game changer.
And it’s free.
💀 4. Cool Things I Learned About This Week – Emergo & The Ennis House
This past week, my wife was watching the movie, The House on Haunted Hill from 1959.
In it, there’s this iconic scene at the end where a skeleton emerges from a tub of acid.
But what’s really crazy is that the director set up a special effect where a skeleton dummy would descend from the ceiling over the audience in every theater that showed the film.
Director William Castle called this movie gimmick “Emergo.”
I wish we had more weird stuff like that.
On top of that, House on Haunted Hill is notable because of where it’s filmed.
It’s filmed in a house in Los Angeles that was designed by one of my favorite architects, Frank Lloyd Wright.
The home is often known as the “Blade Runner House” or “The Ennis House.”
It is iconic due to its interesting structure, drawing inspiration from Mayan temples.
You’ve probably seen it in Blade Runner, Game of Thrones, and hundreds of other films.
Surprised by how much interesting stuff came from a 1959 horror movie.

WLW #188
👋 Hey Reader!
This is issue #188 of Work Less Wednesday, where I share with you 5 things you should know about, in 5 minutes or less. That leaves you with 10,075 other minutes this week.
♠️ 1. Substack Post I’m Revisiting – How To Be More Agentic by Cate Hall
This post went uber viral on Substack in early 2024, but most of you probably haven’t seen it, because you aren’t on Substack.
“Agency” has become a buzzword as of late – but how does one become more agentic?
Cate’s definition of agentic is “finding real edges: things that you are willing to do that others aren’t, often because they’re annoying or unpleasant.”
I would argue it also includes solving problems in ways that circumvent the problem completely.
In the book The One Thing by Gary Keller, he offers us the Focusing Question, which is a very agentic thought exercise:
“What’s the ONE Thing I can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?”
Asking yourself this question is a great way to start in terms of becoming more agentic.
Being agentic means not doing the obvious thing.
In her article, she lists things like courting rejection and asking for more things that feel unreasonable, seeking true and brutal honest feedback, and learning skills that most people believe are fixed (like confidence, happiness, optimism, charisma, etc.).
It’s a great read and will probably open you up to some new possibilities.
Click here for the full link.
📕 2. Book I’m Reading – Chalk – The Art and Erasure of Cy Twombly
I’m currently reading a biography of painter, sculptor, and artist Cy Twombly by Joshua Rivkin.
Cy is one of my favorite American artists.
He is one of those abstract painters who, for some, they “don’t get.”
But for me, his work is transcendent.
I first came across some of his paintings and sculptures at Glenstone Museum (my favorite museum of all time).
Then when I moved back to Philadelphia, I came across his room-sized work Fifty Days at Iliam (pictured above) at the Philly Museum of Art, which blew me away.
And I’ve continued to research and follow his work since then.
Cy’s history also intersects with mine in an interesting way because he attended Black Mountain College, a free-form experimental art school located less than 20 minutes from my home in Asheville, North Carolina.
If you’re not into art, this book won’t be of any interest to you.
If you’ve not seen any of Cy’s works, this book won’t be of any interest to you either.
But what I do recommend – is that you read more biographies (and fiction).
There’s major diminishing returns to nonfiction/business books in terms of your creativity and output.
⚒️ 3. Tool I’m Toying With – Monologue by Every
I’m hesitant to share this. 🤣
I’m currently experimenting with a new tool called Monologue, which is made by Every.
It is a voice dictation tool that allows you to type three times faster.
I’ve previously avoided any kind of voice dictation software because I really don’t like sitting at my desk and talking to myself.
It feels weird.
But the fact of the matter is… I talk much faster than I type.
So I’m playing around with it and seeing what applications there are.
Note: I did “write” this blurb with Monologue, and it was faster.
So there’s that.
💊 4. Supplement I’m Taking – Kre-Alkalyn EFX
Over the past 10 years, I’ve gone through the whole supplement cycle.
I went from taking 10 to 15 supplements a day during my biohacking experimentation, all the way down to 0, and now I’m back to only taking two.
Recently, I’ve been experimenting with different brands of creatine.
I tried Thorne’s creatine powder and Momentous creatine chews, but both bothered my stomach at higher doses.
But now I’ve settled back on a brand that I enjoyed using years ago that I just rediscovered, which is Kre-Alkalyn EFX.
The reason I like it over the other brands is because it doesn’t bother my stomach and it is in easy to swallow capsules.
I’ve been re-interested in creatine recently is because I came across a podcast from Dr. Rhonda Patrick detailing the incredible health benefits of taking it, not only for exercise, but for mental performance, longevity, and even sleep deprivation.
So now I am on a two-supplement protocol – creatine & magnesium.
These two have provided a consistent benefit that I can actually FEEL, so that’s why I stick with them:

“Creativity is the quality that you bring to the activity that you are doing. It is an attitude, an inner approach — how you look at things. Not everybody can be a painter — and there is no need also. If everybody is a painter the world will be very ugly; it will be difficult to live. And not everybody can be a dancer, and there is no need. But everybody can be creative. If whatsoever you do, if you do it joyfully, if you do it lovingly, your act of doing is not purely economical, then it is creative. If you have something growing out of it within you, if it gives you growth, it is spiritual, it is creative, it is divine.”

🎵 2. Interesting Idea I Came Across This Week – The Principle Of Creative Yield
Most creators don’t realize the sheer volume of output needed in order to produce quality work.
“The Beatles performed live over 1,200 times before achieving international fame.
Michael Jackson wrote more than 100 songs for each album, ultimately keeping only the best 10-12 and discarding the rest.
Prince released 39 studio albums in his lifetime, and left behind a vast collection of unreleased work.”
Sound + Creativity calls this The Principle of Creative Yield.
“The premise is simple.
The more “bad” music you make, the more good music you will also make.
What matters is finishing, because even the “bad” ideas teach you something and lead to breakthroughs.”
Spoiler: You can apply this to any skill you wish to master.
✨ 3. A Brave New (Frictionless) World – Article by Mouthwash Studio
Have you noticed how smooth and unobtrusive everything is these days?
Here’s a perfect example, the stunning lack of color, creativity, or character in the modern kitchen:
In the pursuit of minimalism and sameness, the world is starting to feel a bit TOO smooth.
Now brands are discovering that meaningful friction – that actually makes people stop and think – and it might be just what the doctor ordered.
For example:

💸 4. 7 Lessons On Sales – By Colin Dowling
- Sales is a lot like golf. You can make it so complicated as to be impossible or you can simply walk up and hit the ball. I’ve been leading and building sales orgs for almost 20 years and my advice is to walk up and hit the ball.
- Sales is about people and it’s about problem solving. It is not about solutions or technology or chemicals or lines of code or artichokes. It’s about people and it’s about solving problems.
- People buy 4 things and 4 things only. Ever. Those 4 things are time, money, sex, and approval/peace of mind. If you try selling something other than those 4 things you will fail.
- People buy aspirin always. They buy vitamins only occassionally and at unpredictable times. Sell aspirin.
- I say in every talk I give: “all things being equal people buy from their friends. So make everything else equal then go make a lot of friends.”
- Being valuable and useful is all you ever need to do to sell things. Help people out. Send interesting posts. Write birthday cards. Record videos sharing your ideas for growing their business. Introduce people who would benefit from knowing each other then get out of the way, expecting nothing in return. Do this consistently and authentically and people will find ways to give you money. I promise.
- No one cares about your quota, your payroll, your opex, your burn rate, etc. No one. They care about the problem you are solving for them.
There is more than 100 trillion dollars in the global economy just waiting for you to breathe it in. Good luck.

If Program access is revoked, the Customer may regain Program access and be removed from the blacklist if the Customer pays all late payments and late fees, this reinstatement is under the sole discretion of the Company and under such circumstances the Customer will not be eligible for a refund.
If Customer does not pay late payment and late fees the Company reserves the right to send Customer to collections for any outstanding monies due and owed under the Agreement. The Customer shall be liable for any costs Company incurs relating to collecting default payments, including but not limited to legal and administrative fees.

(a) Customer dissatisfaction with Company and/or Program mentor’s subjective teaching style, independent judgment, methods, or other techniques are not valid reasons for termination of this Agreement or request of any monies returned to Customer. Even if Customer does not complete all portions of the Program, Customer is nevertheless responsible for all payments due and owed under this Agreement by making the first payment of the Program at checkout and executing this Agreement.
(b) Company is committed to providing quality service to all Customers. However, from time to time, situations arise that require the Company to terminate the Agreement before the Term ends.

This is issue #184 of Work Less Wednesday, where I share with you 5 things you should know about, in 5 minutes or less. That leaves you with 10,075 other minutes this week.
🧠 1. A Couple Of Places I’m Going For Inspiration Right Now
Recently I’ve been finding feeds and algorithms a terrible place to find interesting stuff to consume.
It seems like the stuff they’re optimizing for (things to keep you scrolling) aren’t the things I’m interested in.
To that end, I’ve been leaning much more into human-curated content.
As AI continues its march forward, I think there’s going to be a lot more interest in human curation in the coming years.
Here are three sites/tools I’ve been enjoying lately:
- Tetragrammaton: https://www.tetragrammaton.com/articles
- Dragonfly-Eye: https://www.dragonfly-eye.online/

Pro skater Rob Dyrdek popped up in my feed with a new venture…
Turns out he’s been tracking his time for over a decade and is launching some kind of new life tracking app called Existence.
I’ve been an advocate for strategic time and money tracking. I believe it’s a great way to move from vagueness to clarity in your business.
BUT I think Existence’s premise goes too far.
At a certain point, the tracking becomes obsessive, and we lose our ability to check in with our internal compass and assess how or why we do the things we do.
It all becomes data.
This video explains it perfectly.
For example, take sleep trackers like the Oura ring:
At first we learn very valuable patterns from the data, like:
- “How does eating before bed affect my sleep?”
- “How much deep sleep am I getting?”
- “How much sleep am I actually having each night?”
But eventually it backfires.
Instead of checking in with ourself in the morning to ask “How do I FEEL?” – we turn that power over to the app and base our feelings on a sleep score.
Anyway, here’s Rob’s app if you’re interested.
🍉 3. The Most Insane Coffee I’ve Tasted – WWE Super Blend from People Posession
Shared this with my clients this week, but it deserves a wider mention.
This experimental coffee is co-fermented with watermelon, and it literally tastes like watermelon candy.
I’ve talked about co-ferments before in WLW, but this one is the cleanest I’ve ever tasted.
People Possession is a roaster from Paris they just started stocking at my local cool coffee shop Pollen.
I’ve also got PP’s Elto Elora, which I’ll be trying next.
Check out the roasters here.
🧱 4. Tool I’m Back Using – Brick
Recently I’ve been craving some more boundaries with my phone.
So it’s back to old faithful – The Brick.
Originally started using this in December 2023.
Here’s how it works:
This $49 device essentially bricks your phone.
“A device that temporarily removes distracting apps (and their notifications) from your phone – leaving only the powerful tools you choose.
Now you don’t have to take the distractions with you everywhere – leave them behind with the Brick, and engage with more of what matters.”
Right now I’m bricking: Instagram, YouTube, Substack, Gmail, and a handful of distracting websites.
I’ve recommended this to hundreds of readers and clients and it seems to have pretty good success.
