Software sprawl? That’s SaaD.
Software was supposed to make work easier. Instead, most teams are buried under it.

🔥 Issue #13 — Why You Should Stop Building a Business… and Start Building a Buyer Path
The invisible shift that turns browsers into buyers — without pressure
Let me tell you something I wish someone told me sooner:
You don’t need a “better business.”
You need a cleaner customer path.
Most people are building landing pages, content, and products…
But not a journey.
No wonder they’re exhausted. 😮💨
🚶 Meet Rachel — The Content Queen Who Couldn’t Convert
Rachel had:
A 12K follower Instagram
Gorgeous visuals
An offer that should’ve worked
But her Stripe dashboard said otherwise.
“People love my stuff,” she said, “but no one’s buying.”
The problem?
She had touchpoints but no pathway.
🧭 The 5-Stage Buyer Path
Here’s the system I gave her — now it’s yours:
1. Spark
Grab attention with one clear idea that stops the scroll.
→ Think: polarizing posts, bold hooks, pattern interrupts
2. Story
Build belief through storytelling.
→ Make your ideal client see themselves in your content
3. Shift
Introduce a new lens: a better way, a simpler model, a broken assumption
→ “You’ve been told this... but here’s what actually works.”
4. Showcase
Present your offer naturally, like the logical next step
→ Use mini case studies, visual frameworks, or “how I helped X with Y”
5. Step
Make the action frictionless
→ One link, one ask, one call-to-action
When Rachel built that into her content calendar, sales doubled in 6 weeks.
Because the path made sense.
