The Entrepreneur's Memory Theft

In partnership with

Remember when you started your business?

You had this crystal-clear vision. You knew exactly what problem you were solving, who you were solving it for, and why you were the only person who could do it right.

Now you're months in, and you can't remember the last time you had an original idea. You're copying competitors, chasing trends, reacting to whatever fires up in your inbox.

You used to be a visionary. Now you're a project manager for other people's priorities.

Here's what happened: your entrepreneur brain got hijacked. And if you don't get it back, your business will become just another generic solution in a crowded market.

The Night I Almost Quit Everything

It was 11:47 PM in June 2025. Article for the next day was due at 7 AM, and I was staring at a blank Google Doc.

I'd started this newsletter in March with explosive clarity. 100 articles in 100 workdays about human skills that actually matter. I knew exactly what entrepreneurs and high level corporate operators needed, why everyone else was getting it wrong, and how I could deliver frameworks that would actually work Monday morning.

For the first month, ideas flowed like water. I'd write five articles in advance, schedule them perfectly, feel like a content machine. Week two I had seven articles banked. I was crushing it.

Then the noise crept in.

I started reading other newsletters. "Maybe I should write more like this." I subscribed to entrepreneurship podcasts. "This approach seems to work better." I analyzed what content was performing on X. "The algorithm rewards this format."

By month three, I wasn't writing from vision anymore. I was writing from anxiety.

That night, staring at the article, I realized I couldn't remember why I'd started this newsletter. What made my approach different? What unique insight drove me to commit to 100 straight days?

I opened fifteen browser tabs. Read five articles about "newsletter best practices." Scrolled through successful entrepreneurs' content for "inspiration."

It was 2:30 AM when I finally started typing. Not because I had something valuable to say, but because I had a deadline to meet.

I published that article at 6:58 AM. It was professional, well-researched, and completely forgettable. Just like the tens of articles before it.

That's when I realized: I wasn't creating anymore. I was just processing other people's thoughts.
