LinkedIn Global Top Voice (Invitation Only) | Helping Side Hustlers & Solopreneurs Scale to their first $100k

Most aspiring entrepreneurs don’t fail because of bad ideas—they fail because they stay stuck. Overthinking. Googling. Second-guessing. Instead of launching, they spin their wheels in endless research mode.

I know this struggle firsthand. With an MBA and over a decade in corporate sales, I’ve worked with Fortune 500 companies and solo operators alike, helping businesses drive revenue and scale sustainably. I continue to apply these strategies daily as a Senior Sales Manager, giving me a front-row seat to what works (and what doesn’t) in today’s market.

Through my Sustainable Sales Blueprint, I give you more than just strategies—I become your personal reference bank, so you can confidently make the right moves.

What You Get Inside:
✔ One-Page Business Plan – A simple, no-fluff roadmap to keep you focused and moving forward.
✔ 3 Live Strategy Sessions (45-60 min) – Kickoff, mid-point check-in, and final action planning.
✔ Email Support – Get answers when you need them.
✔ Plug & Play Templates – Marketing, sales, and productivity systems that actually work.

This isn’t about fluff, complicated funnels, or waiting months to see results. It’s about taking action, implementing what matters, and building a business that fits your life—without the guesswork.

If you’re ready to stop overthinking and start selling, let’s connect.

Isn't March Madness the best kind of chaos? 🏀

Even though my beloved teams, UNC Wilmington and UGA, didn't make it past their first games, I'm still soaking up the sheer thrill of this season—it's unpredictable, wild, and just brimming with energy.

Sound familiar?

That's exactly what starting a business feels like.

A few months back, I was on the brink of keeping my idea locked up tight.

Not because I doubted its potential, but because I feared it wasn't up to snuff.

What if people thought I was off my rocker? 🤔

What if I had to go back to square one?

What if... I simply wasn’t ready?

Turns out, sitting in silence wasn't my shield—it was my chain.

Once I let my idea out into the world, everything shifted:

- I received feedback that sharpened the concept.
- I identified where I was making things unnecessarily complex.
- I discovered that I didn’t have to embark on this journey solo.

So, what broke the cycle?

I stopped aiming for perfection in my head and started testing it in the real world.

I chatted with real people.

I hunted for any flicker of demand.

I chased one yes.

Not a hundred. Just one.

Feeling stuck in that messy middle? Believe me, I feel you.

I'm still here myself, trying to build something meaningful while juggling a corporate gig and three little ones.

But here's the gem I've unearthed:

You don't need a flawless plan.

You need momentum.

True security isn’t about a steady paycheck.

It's about creating something that sustains you—job or no job.

What brilliant idea have you been sitting on?

Drop it in the comments—I’m all ears to hear about your passion.

Founder @ Morris Strategic Advising | I help small businesses build sustainable revenues.

Be nice. Be clear. Be relentless.
(Yes, we’re talking about business. And Patrick Swayze.)

There’s a moment in Road House where Swayze—philosopher, bouncer, denim icon—tells his team:

“Be nice.”

At first, it sounds too soft.
Then he casually chokeholds a guy through a table.

The lesson?

Being nice isn’t weakness.
It’s control. It’s clarity. It’s showing up with intention.

And honestly? That’s the exact mindset you need to build your business while working full-time.

1. You don’t need more time. You need a better plan.

You’re not lazy—you’re just scattered.

Most people waste their best energy:

Googling

Tweaking colors

Downloading “freebie #47”

What actually works?

Write your idea in one clear sentence

Ask one real human if it solves a real problem

Block one focused hour per week to act

That’s what I teach in the Sustainable Sales Blueprint—a system that fits real life, not fantasy schedules.

Check it out here: stan.store/jd_morris3

2. Your offer isn’t broken. It’s just unclear.

Most people don’t need to “add more value.”
They need to speak like a human.

Try this:

Say who it’s for

Name the actual problem

Show the result in plain English

One of my clients made this shift and booked three calls in a week—no new product, just better words.

3. Yes—you can build a business while keeping your 9–5.

I’ve worked in textiles, aerospace, automotive—and now I sell to the U.S. Military by day.

But at night? I help entrepreneurs build smart, simple sales systems.

I’m not “waiting to leap.”
I’m building in the margins.

I’ve helped others do the same:
-From confused to consistent.
-From stuck to sustainable.
-From “someday” to real sales.

Let's get started now: stan.store/jd_morris3

You don’t need to be loud. 
Or flashy. 
Or full-time.

You just need to keep showing up.

Nice. Clear. Relentless.

That wins.

P.S. Patrick Swayze?
Classically trained ballet dancer. Juilliard alum.
Grace and grit in one package.

That’s the energy we’re bringing into business.

Still thinking about your business idea instead of building it?

You don’t need another YouTube rabbit hole.

Or a 40-hour course you’ll never finish.

What you do need is a clear plan that takes you from:

“I think I have something…”
to
“I just landed my first paying client.”

That’s what the Sustainable Sales Blueprint is built for.

In just 6 weeks, you’ll:

✔ Validate your business idea
✔ Build a 1-page plan that actually makes sense
✔ Attract your first (or next) paying clients
✔ Learn a repeatable system to sell—without burnout or feeling salesy

This is a strategy-backed program with:

– Live support
– Plug-and-play templates
– A proven roadmap to get you unstuck and selling

No fluff. No guesswork. Just real momentum.

Ready to stop second-guessing and start making sales?

The Sustainable Sales Blueprint

Some days, you just don’t have the juice.

Today was 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘥 to be one of those “high-value” days. Strategy. Insight. Strong CTA.

Instead?

— Corporate’s spinning over tariff uncertainty (because, of course, the U.S. picked now to play chess with global trade).
— We’re closing on the sale of our home and mapping out a summer move.
— One kid’s sick, and life didn’t pause to make room for that.

And while every planning guru will tell you to prep your content a week out—batch it, automate it, get ahead—I’ll be real with you:

That’s just not where I am right now.

Client work? Handled.
Sales systems? Still humming.
This post? Not what I mapped out—but it’s honest.

Here’s the truth:
I’m building something powerful. But not at the expense of my actual life.

Because what’s the point of a “sustainable business” if it quietly scorches everything else that matters?

To the solopreneur juggling vision with real-life responsibility:
You’re not behind.
You’re not broken.
You’re just honoring your bandwidth.

Some seasons require full speed. Others require full presence.

You can pause without quitting.
You can recalibrate without losing momentum.

Let this land if it needs to:

You’re allowed to grow at a pace that protects your peace.

See you Friday — with something that earns your scroll.

Most people sit on a business idea for months... even years.

Not because it’s bad—because they have 𝘯𝘰 𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘵.

Here’s exactly how I’d validate an idea if I had to start from scratch tomorrow:

1. 𝗚𝘂𝘁-𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺
Would someone pay to fix this?
Not sure? Ask 5 people in your target audience.
Not your friends. Not your mom.

2. 𝗠𝗩𝗣 𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟰 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀
Can you mock it up in a Google Doc, Canva page, or 30-second video?
If not—it’s too complex. Simplify or scrap it.

3. 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
Post it. DM it. Email it.
Just get it in front of people.

You’re not chasing compliments—you’re testing for confusion or curiosity.

If I had known this 2 years ago, I would’ve saved myself months of wasted effort.

Comment “GUIDE” or DM me—I’ll send it your way.

Because building smart > building perfect.

Let’s cut to the chase:

Overthinking is just fancy procrastination.

You know the drill:
Endlessly adjusting that logo to perfection.
Hoarding clever domain names.
Obsessing over the 𝘧𝘭𝘢𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 plan...

When the real action item is right there:
Connecting with 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 people who might just need what you're creating.

When I started this venture, I vowed to myself:
No more tinkering in solitude.

I refused to spend months crafting something,
only to discover it wasn’t solving anyone’s problem.

So I switched gears:

→ I reached out to 5 actual humans and asked, “𝘋𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘨𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘦?”
→ I presented them with a straightforward, scrappy prototype
→ I inquired, “𝘞𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘱𝘢𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴?”

This one adjustment saved me from countless hours of senseless labor and a boatload of doubt.

No LLC. No sleek branding. No polished website.

Just raw feedback > perfect packaging.

Don't confuse movement with progress.

What’s that ONE project you’ve been refining in secret?

1𝟬+ 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 in textiles, aerospace, and automotive.  

Now, by day, I sell to the 𝗨.𝗦. 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆.  

By night, I help entrepreneurs sell simply and sustainably.

Not exactly a linear path.  
But every step led me here.

I didn’t realize it at the time, but years of navigating complex industries, managing high-stakes deals, and solving technical problems were building something deeper:

-A business I hadn’t yet named.  
-A skillset I hadn’t yet claimed.  
-A mission I hadn’t yet owned.

I used to think I had to choose one thing.

But now?

I’m building a business that aligns with everything I’ve done—without leaving my 9–5.

I didn’t expect to be in sales strategy.  
I hadn’t planned to teach marketing.  
I didn’t think I’d care about systems.

But today, this is my world.

Strategy feeds my problem-solving brain.  
Marketing is my creative outlet.  
Systems protect my time and energy.

And when you're building a business on top of a demanding career?

You need structure.  
You need clarity.  
You need a way to sell without burning out.

I’ve had the same doubts as many of you:

“Do I have what it takes to make this work?”  
“Can I grow something real while working full time?”  
“What if I’m not cut out for this?”

Then, things started to shift.

1. I coached founders from stuck to selling.
2. I helped others clarify and position their offers.  
3. I watched clients build consistent, sustainable revenue.

It wasn’t magic. It was a system.

A) Frustration became fulfillment.  
B) Uncertainty turned into clarity.  
C) Overwhelm evolved into something repeatable.

That system became the Sustainable Sales Blueprint.

I’m still working full-time, but I’m no longer waiting.

And if you're building a business in the margins of your day,  
you don’t have to wait either.

Hot take: Most business ideas don’t die because they’re bad.

They die because the person holding them never moves.

And it’s not for lack of talent. Or ambition.

It’s because they get stuck.
Not sure where to start.
Unsure what to charge.
Too afraid to show their face, make an offer, or (heaven forbid) sell something.

And while they’re busy overthinking the next step?

Someone else with half the skills, but way more action, is already in market making money.

I've watched too many smart people sit on brilliant ideas for months—even years.

Waiting to feel ready. Waiting for clarity.
Waiting for perfect.

So I made this carousel to snap you out of it.

Not with fluff. Not with “just believe in yourself” nonsense.

But with real friction points and the exact mindset shifts to break through them.

Go check it out.

Then pick one thing and move. That’s how you unstuck yourself.

The rest? It’s in my bio.

10 Reasons Why You're Stuck and How to Get Moving

You only need 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿 to move your business idea forward this week.

Most people waste it:

— Googling
— Overthinking
— Tinkering with logos
— Downloading freebie #47

But what if you’ve got just one focused hour?

Here’s what to do:

Write down your idea in one sentence.
Keep it simple. No jargon. No buzzwords.

List 3 specific types of people who would benefit.
Not “everyone.” Be real. Be specific.

Message one of them and ask:

“Would this be useful to you? Why or why not?”

That’s it.

Not perfect. Not polished.
But it puts you ahead of 90% of people stuck in research mode.

You don’t need more time.
You need more 𝙘𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮.

And clarity starts with 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

Drowning in 50-page business plans?

Let’s cut the fluff.

You don’t need a novel—you need clarity.

Enter: The One-Page Plan.

It’s your guiding star—simple, strategic, and built to move.

Why it works:

-Focuses on what actually matters

-Built fast, updated faster

-Exposes weak spots before they cost you

Here’s the deal: your idea doesn’t need to be perfect.

𝗜𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗮 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱.

A strong one-pager answers:
1. Who you're solving for
2. What problem you're tackling
3. How you’ll earn your first dollar

Can’t answer those yet? That’s not a dead end—it’s your next step.

This is what I do with clients every time—turn vague ideas into clear, confident action.

Feeling stuck? Let’s build your roadmap.

Check out the link in the comments.

I nearly kept my business idea a secret.

Not because I didn’t believe in it—but because I was terrified it wasn’t good enough.

What if people thought it was dumb?
What if I had to scrap the whole thing?
What if... I wasn’t ready?

But I didn’t realize that keeping it to myself wasn’t helping.

Then something crazy happened… the moment I started talking about it:

✔️ I got feedback that actually helped.

✔️ I saw where I was overcomplicating things.

✔️ I realized I didn’t have to figure everything out alone.

If you’re stuck at this stage, start here: Get clear on WHO you’re actually helping.

Not sure where to start? Grab my 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 (linked in my bio).

It’ll help you define your ideal customer—so you don’t waste time or money on the wrong idea.

Imagine you're chatting with a friend.

You wouldn't say:

"Hey, buy my stuff! It's great!"

You'd be subtle.

Mention how it helped someone else.

Share a cool use-case.

Pique curiosity. Tease a little.

Then, let them ask the "salesy" question:

"How can I get one?"

Lead them to it. 

Selling isn't shouting. 

It's whispering to the right people in the right way.

Try it today. Watch the magic unfold.

Building a business with a full-time job and three kids?
Same here—and it’s exactly why I built this system.

These days, I build my business in the margins:

Before work
After bedtime
In the carpool line

I’ve got a full-time job.
Three kids.
And maybe 10 hours a week—on a good week—to grow my business.

Not ideal. But not new either.

Back in business school, I bet on myself.
I quit my job, moved cities, and brought my (very supportive) wife along for the ride.

No income. No safety net.
Just a belief that there was a better way to build.

I juggled classes, job interviews, and worked for a marketing professor across three different courses.

It was chaotic—but it taught me two things:
1. How to switch gears quickly.
2. How to make progress with a tight game plan.

And that experience laid the foundation for what I teach now in my Sustainable Sales Blueprint—a step-by-step system built specifically for people growing a business in the margins of a full life.

It’s designed for people who want clarity, structure, and momentum—not more content to overthink.

If you’ve only got 5–10 hours a week, here’s the truth:
You don’t need more time.
You need a system that works with your life—not against it.
And you don’t have to figure it out alone.

If this resonates, check out the Sustainable Sales Blueprint. 

It’s exactly how I help people go from stuck to selling—without the burnout.

Most people don’t grow slowly because they’re lazy.
They grow slowly because they’re unclear.
They think the problem is marketing.

Or tech.
Or needing “more time.”

But 9 times out of 10?
The real bottleneck is fuzzy foundations.

You’re building offers without knowing exactly who they’re for.
You’re selling solutions no one’s asking for.
You’re busy—but not booked.

Here’s what changed everything for me:
I stopped chasing more tactics…

And got brutally clear on the essentials:

– Who I’m here to help
– Why they’d actually pay me
– Where I can reach them without ads or gimmicks

Growth became simple after that.
Not easy. But simple.

If your business isn’t growing, it’s probably not a strategy issue.
It’s a clarity issue.

Fix that, and the rest moves faster.

What’s one thing you’re still guessing about in your business?

Get Crystal Before You Launch Your Business

Is Your Offer Getting the Silent Treatment? Let’s Fix That in 3 Steps.

Imagine the frustration: your offer’s packed with potential...
But it lands with a thud.
No nods. No wows. Just silence.

Is it the offer? Nope.
It’s a clarity problem.

Like serving a gourmet meal without saying what’s on the plate—
Deliciousness wasted. Ouch.

Most service-based offers don’t flop because they lack value.
They flop because they’re tangled in jargon, fluff, and trying-too-hard language.

The fix? Surprisingly simple:

✅ Who’s it for? Call out your ideal client.
✅ What’s the problem? Get specific—think GPS level clarity.
✅ What’s the result? Show them exactly what they’ll walk away with.

Let’s see it in action:

One of my clients—a brilliant mindset coach—kept hearing crickets when she shared her offer.

People were confused. “Wait... what do you actually do?”

We used this 3-step formula and dialed in her message in 15 minutes.

✅ She updated her LinkedIn headline
✅ Rewrote her intro message
✅ And booked 3 discovery calls that same week—without changing her actual offer

Here’s a pitch that connects:

“I help coaches and consultants build a straightforward system to attract and convert high-quality clients—without the burnout.”

No fluff. No mystery. Just clear value that clicks.

Need help tightening your pitch?

Selling feels gross.

Especially when it’s “just information,” right?

Here’s the truth:
Selling information is one of the most sustainable, scalable business models for coaches, consultants, and service providers.

Because information isn’t fluff.
It’s transformation.
It’s time-saving.
It’s a bridge to results.

Your clients aren’t paying for stuff.

They’re paying for:

1. Clarity

2. Direction

3. A shortcut they can trust

So, if you’ve been hesitating to “package your knowledge,” it’s time to rethink that.

Just make sure you:

-Package it with purpose

-Deliver it in a way that’s easy to consume

-Solve real problems — clearly and confidently.

When you do that?

Selling doesn’t feel gross. It feels generous.

Your expertise deserves to be seen — and sold.

I started this newsletter for the solopreneurs doing everything right—

→ Showing up online
→ Delivering amazing client results
→ Still wondering why sales feel inconsistent (or exhausting)

After working with dozens of coaches, consultants, and service pros, I saw the same pattern:

They didn’t need more hustle.

They needed a repeatable, sustainable system to attract and convert clients without burning out.

This space is my bi-weekly drop of clarity.

Think of it as your go-to guide for simplifying sales, building demand on LinkedIn, and creating consistent revenue—on your terms.

Let’s make your client pipeline feel calm, not chaotic.

If you’re a coach, consultant, or freelancer, chances are your sales strategy looks something like this: → Posting on LinkedIn when you remember → DMs

Why Your Sales Feel Scattered (And What To Do Instead)

What do Patrick Swayze and sustainable sales have in common?

More than you think.

In this edition, I’m breaking down why “Be nice” is the most underrated business strategy—especially if you're building a business while working full-time.

You'll learn:
-Why lack of time isn’t your actual problem.
-The simple messaging fix that can instantly boost your offer.
-How to grow a legit business without quitting your 9–5.

If you’re ready to stop overthinking and start selling, this one’s for you.

There’s a scene in Road House where Patrick Swayze—philosopher, bouncer, denim icon—lays down the rules for his team. “Be nice.” It sounds soft... unt

Be nice. Be clear. Be relentless.

Content shouldn’t feel like a second job.
And honestly? I don’t want my business to either.

I didn’t start this to be overwhelmed by content calendars or stuck in a cycle of “shoulds.”
I started it for 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘰𝘮. For 𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘹𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺.
To build something meaningful—and actually 𝘦𝘯𝘫𝘰𝘺 the process along the way.

But here’s the truth:
Right now, life is 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝘁.

We’ve closed out the quarter at my corporate role, and it’s chaos—think tariffs, supply chain curveballs, and zero breathing room.

My family just sold our home, and we’re navigating all the 𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘴 of moving this summer.

Oh—and I’ve got three kids who still need their dad 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵.

And my wife’s birthday? Next week. Non-negotiable.

So yeah—this season is full.

But instead of grinding harder, I’m making a different choice.

I’m simplifying.
I’m creating space for joy.
I’m choosing content that 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 to make, not just what I “should” post.

That looks like:
Short videos – quick connection, no overthinking
Carousels – clean, creative, and easy to repurpose

I’m not chasing perfection. I’m chasing 𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 with 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦.

Because the more I enjoy creating, the more I actually want to show up.

And when showing up feels good?

Everything else flows easier—even in the chaos.

This is the real heart of my Sustainable Sales Blueprint:
𝘓𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦. 𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦. 

Still growing, just without burning out.

I’m sharing it all in real-time—
Service-based business ideas every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Personal reflections on Saturdays—because life and business aren’t separate.

Hit the bell if that sounds like your pace.

Follow Morris Strategic Advising for grounded strategies that respect real life.

And check out my bi-weekly newsletter in the bio—it’s where joy meets strategy, even in the messy middle.

Content Shouldn't Feel Like a Second Job.

Everyone says “Just show up and build your brand.”
Cool. But let’s talk about the emotional cost of visibility without a strategy.

You post every day with no real plan.
You get likes, but no leads.
You feel like you're always on — but the sales? Nowhere.

It’s exhausting. And worse?
It feels like progress, so you keep doing it.

Here’s the truth most folks miss:
- Visibility without direction = burnout.
- Authority without an offer = wasted effort.
- Content without a system = the content treadmill.

I help coaches, consultants, and solopreneurs stop chasing vanity metrics — and start building systems that sell.

Because visibility alone doesn’t pay the bills. Conversions do.

If you're tired of being busy but broke — and want a sustainable way to grow without living in your notifications…

Let’s talk. I’ve got a framework that flips the script.
