The 28-day overview
Four phases. Each one week long. Each day building on the last.
Foundations & audit
See exactly where you stand, define what 'done' means, and set the 28-day target.
Build the system
Construct the core machine one piece at a time — one focused action a day.
Operate & optimize
Run it live, measure honestly, and fix what the data reveals.
Make it stick
Document, automate, and lock in the rhythm so day 29 runs itself.
Sample days
Three days from inside the challenge — the actual shape of the work.
The honest audit
You can't fix what you haven't faced. Today you score every part of linkedin honestly — one page, no sugarcoating.
Ship the smallest version
Perfect is the enemy of shipped. Today you launch the smallest useful version of the thing you've been over-planning.
Protect the system
Busy weeks kill good systems. Today you automate or eliminate the three steps most likely to break when you get slammed.
The Daily Email Challenge
Each morning, the day's lesson lands in your inbox — a short read and one concrete action. It's the cadence that turns a book on a shelf into a system in your business.

How to Do a Social Media Audit (and Turn It Into a 28-Day Plan)
Most social media effort is invisible: profiles half-finished, posts without next steps, rhythms abandoned. A structured audit makes the drift visible — then the fix becomes a month, not a someday.
