Have You Asked for Help?


Howdy, Zack here.

Could I ask you for a little favor?

I started writing How We Scale because most newsletters I received were too long or too short, written by AI, or just not worth my time. Yet, I've loved a handful of, let's call them, 'craft' newsletters or letters.

I figured there were others out there like me. So I decided to put my pen, rather keyboard, to the test and start writing — that was 35 letters ago. I know my writing isn't perfect. But I hope it's a good sign that you're still here.

Here's my request of you:
If you enjoy getting my letter and Jenna's weekly sketch in How We Scale, would you share it?

We don't advertise. So, without you, How We Scale doesn't scale.

This letter isn't just about my request for your help. If you provide value to your customers, when was the last time you asked for help, a recommendation, or a referral? It might be time. And you may be pleasantly surprised with the results.


Here's how you can help Jenna and me today:

3 FAVES

  1. 🥕 Most Xcellent — Rich's Organic Juice is a life-giver for me.
  2. 🏫 Niche — Can't believe I'm helping our triplets scout out colleges already!
  3. 🚗 CarGurus — Love the 'Deal' meter. My son is looking for an old Jeep CJ.

Until next Wednesday, consider a way to ask for help. I'd love to hear how it works for you!

Howdy, Zack here. Stop it. Stop doing the things that aren't working for you. Sound too simple? Well, it's not. It's one of the hardest things to do. Yet, funny enough, once you've done it, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner. You know what's not working for you. Ugh, lump in my throat. I have a few that come to mind right now. It might be eating too much, not working out, wasting time on social media, getting caught up in drama, focusing on big world issues (like politics), or pretty...

Howdy, Zack here. I love you. Yes, you. And, that love is not conditional. We all have our faults. I know when I've been at my worst, that I need others' love the most. Unless you've been living under a rock or you've intentionally disconnected (can't blame you), you've seen the effect of deliberate division — the recent assassination attempt on former President Trump. No matter your political beliefs, this sort of hatred has no place in our world. It stems from the polarization of our...

Howdy, Zack here. When will it be time? We often wait for that perfect 'when' — the moment everything falls into place. But what if 'when' is actually right now? As a dad of triplets on the brink of their senior year, time feels more precious than ever. Everything has been one-and-done for us. Before long, my wife, Gwen, and I will be seeing our 3 off to college. Thus, each moment matters more. Can you relate? When certain chapters come to an end, we tend to feel the gravity of our decisions...
