From feast-famine to sustainable success

Published 6 months ago • 3 min read

Let me start by addressing something important: If you saw my email about the "Heroic Elite" program and thought ", That's not for me - I'm not elite enough," I want you to know something...

Brian Johnson, the program's creator, believes everyone is an elite performer.

Whether you're running a one-person business from your kitchen table, building your creative practice, or dreaming of your first launch - you have an 'elite' within you.

As Notre Dame football coach Marcus Freeman puts it, "It's not about being the best at your position right now - it's about becoming the best version of YOU."

​

Here's What This Actually Looks Like

For creators tired of the constant hustle:

"I used to wake up already feeling behind, my mind racing with all the content I should be creating. Now? I start my day with clarity and purpose, creating content that feels aligned instead of rushed. My audience is growing because I show up consistently, not just when I can find the energy."

​

For photographers feeling the industry squeeze:

"It used to be feast or famine - either drowning in back-to-back shoots and endless editing or lying awake at night wondering when the next booking would come.

Now? I've got a system that brings consistent inquiries, confidence in my pricing, and the energy to show up fully, whether I'm shooting, marketing, or spending time with family. The constant worry about 'am I doing enough?' has been replaced with clear direction and purpose."

​

For growing your business alongside your career:

"Building a business while maintaining a full-time role used to feel impossible. Now, I have a framework that actually works. My mornings are focused, my evenings are intentional, and weekends aren't consumed by catch-up work anymore. I'm finally building something sustainable without sacrificing my well-being or relationships."

​

For those just starting out and feeling overwhelmed:

"The constant comparison and information overload was paralyzing. Now? Those small, consistent actions are adding up to real progress. I'm building something that feels truly mine instead of a copy of someone else's success."

​

Now, Think About It:

• What if you could finally create that signature style that sets you apart?

• Or build that consistent content system that keeps falling to the bottom of your list?

• Or develop the energy levels to show up fully for your business AND your life?

​

But here's the real difference-maker: This isn't just about achieving a goal. It's about becoming the kind of person who naturally creates success without the exhausting push-pull cycle we often fall into as business owners.

​

The Framework Behind the Transformation:

  1. Clarity: Define your ONE "Heroically SMART" goal for the next 101 days
  2. Foundation: Master the fundamentals of energy, focus, and connection
  3. Support: Daily coaching (optional, recorded for flexibility)
  4. Implementation: Practical tools that fit into your busy schedule
  5. Community: Connect with others on the same path

​

What Makes This Different:

• It's designed to work WITH your schedule, not demand more from it

• Focus on sustainable practices (no more burnout cycles)

• Includes HeroicBri AI for 24/7 guidance when you need it

• Optional daily coaching you can watch on your time

• A women's track led by Alexandra Johnson

​

The Foundation of It All:

Visit the program landing page and get immediate access to their comprehensive Starter Guide. It reveals exactly how elite performers achieve sustainable success through fundamental mastery - yours free whether you join the program or not.

​

Here's Why This Matters Now:

As creators and business owners, we often try to push harder when what we really need is to work smarter.

This program helps you:

• Build momentum without burning out

• Create systems that support your growth

• Develop the energy to consistently execute

• Transform how you show up in your business

​

My Implementation Group:

When you join through my link, you'll get access to my lightweight Implementation Group - quick, asynchronous check-ins and optional coaching calls focused on applying these principles to your business. No, overwhelm, just practical support when you need it. (Optional).

Sometimes the clarity fades. Not dramatically. Not all at once. We’ve all been there, lost our way. But slowly. A plan that no longer feels alive. A rhythm that stops making sense. A sense that you’re “off”, without being able to name why. If you’re wired for responsibility (and most of us are), the instinct is to fix. To push harder. To get back on track, fast. But what if there’s nothing to fix? What if this moment, the doubt, the pause, the quiet, isn’t failure, but recalibration? I wrote...

A thoughtful woman pausing on a quiet path through nature, symbolising reflection and recalibration.

There’s a certain kind of moment that doesn’t get talked about much. The moment when you’re doing all the right things… but something still feels off. The rhythm breaks. The plan doesn’t land. The clarity fades, and you can’t quite see where you’re headed anymore. In those moments, the voice of urgency tends to rise. It tells you to push. To fix. To prove you're not falling behind. But what if that voice isn’t your true guide? What if the pause isn’t a problem? What if it’s just your system,...

Some of the most aligned moves I’ve made in business didn’t start with strategy. They started with a quiet nudge. A “what if…” A rabbit hole I followed. A detour I almost dismissed. A gut pull I couldn’t quite explain. It didn’t always make sense at the time. But it always led somewhere meaningful. Sometimes, to a new offer. Sometimes, to a client I wasn’t expecting. Sometimes, to an internal shift I didn’t even know I needed. Curiosity isn’t a distraction. It’s how sovereignty whispers. I...
