I remember the first time I did something I was truly proud of. Something that made me think: Yes, I did that! I was 19. I dropped out of university and moved to Paris for 6 months. (Long story.) By the time I came home, I spoke French fluently. (I worked hard at it.) I was […]| Olly Richards
There’s a doubt that’s been lurking in the back of my mind for the last 12 years. A worry that’s been gnawing at me. A concern that I’ve pushed to the deepest recesses of my mind in the hope that it wouldn’t prove to be true: “Did I just get lucky with StoryLearning?” Was it […]| Olly Richards
Back in 2015, I was a fresh-faced young entrepreneur, wet behind the ears, not knowing my a** from my elbow. When I say “young”… I was 34. I’d just moved back to London from Egypt. My daughter was 2 months old. I was bringing in $2-3k a month, and even that wasn’t stable. Perilous. So […]| Olly Richards
People have very distorted views of money and success. Often, they get it flat-out wrong. Take the myth of the 7-figure business. Tell the average online business owner that you have a 7-figure business, they’ll instantly peg you as “successful”. But this is a mistake. I call it the next level fallacy. It goes like this: […]| Olly Richards
Here’s the problem with money… Everyone assumes that “scale” is the only game in town. Growth… scale… 10X baby! True — for many startups, it is all about growth. But, as an online business owner, you might have a different set of goals: Scale? Sure… At any cost? Not so much. Most online business owners would […]| Olly Richards
About 6 years ago, my business coach gave me some advice that changed how I approached finance forever. I remember we were on our fortnightly call. In fact, I remember where I was – walking through Cherry Tree Woods in East Finchley (North London). Weird how we remember the smallest details. Anyway, I said to […]| Olly Richards
Let me show you how every morning begins for me at the moment. Here’s how: I wake up, make the coffee, and take a stroll through the garden down to my little writing nook. To be honest, I don’t actually know if this is a “nook”. I have no idea what a nook is. I […]| Olly Richards

So, last weekend I was sitting in my garden enjoying a relaxing Hobbitshire sunset… When my phone started pinging. (Not literally pinging, because I don’t let my phone ping with anything. I guard my notifications tighter than a bitcoin wallet. So… metaphorically pinging. You get the idea.) It was coming at me from all sides… […]| Olly Richards
Business advice tends to be all about helping you crush it...Smash it out of the park…Kick ass in the morning and take names in the evening.But there's something just as important that I think we should be paying more attention to:How to be completely unattached to your goals.Because, although you have goals, and yes – […]| Olly Richards
Obnoxious.Braggy.Crass.That’s how today’s newsletter may come across.After all, who wants to sit and read about someone on the internet talking about how much moolah they’re going to make?Not me!And yet, here I am.So, a couple of things…First, I haven’t made this $1M yet. Today is all about how I think I can make it.Second, there’s […]| Olly Richards

What happened to you?”, I conclude that not everyone got my November message about taking the last month off!But take it off I did.And I’m pleased with that decision because I’m back, and raring to go like a rocket […]| Olly Richards
