The Journey Continues: How the "Million Dollar Weekend" Inspired Me to Build My Own Toolkit 🛣️

If you've been following along, you already know how Noah Kagan's Million Dollar Weekend hit me like a ton of bricks. It wasn't just another business book. It was a wake-up call. An invitation to stop overthinking and start building, using what I already had: my Notion design skills.

So, here's what I did: I built a Million Dollar Weekend Toolkit inside Notion. Yeah, the same tool I’ve been geeking out on for months. I took everything I learned from the book and turned it into a plug-and-play template that could help others—just like it helped me—validate ideas, crush goals, and scale faster.

Then, I shot my shot. I sent Noah a direct message, fully aware he’s got a lot on his plate—especially since he just became a dad. If you know, you know. Balancing a business and fatherhood?

That’s another Million Dollar Weekend challenge of its own. So, I’m not holding my breath for a reply anytime soon, but I’m cool with that. The guy's got bigger fish to fry right now.

But here’s the kicker—while I was waiting for Noah’s reply, I learned something way more valuable: the power of my own voice and the audience that’s been waiting to hear it.

Some of the early feedback on my Toolkit was beyond humbling. People got it. They resonated with the simplicity and effectiveness.

And that's when I realized: it's time to pivot. Instead of waiting for a big name like Noah to validate me, I’m going all in on my story.

I’m doubling down on platforms like Skool and Reddit, where people want actionable tools, not fluff. These are the platforms where conversations happen—where you can tell your story, build community, and create real connections. It’s grassroots, but that’s where all the real action is anyway.

Here’s my takeaway: stop waiting for permission. Noah gave me a framework, but it’s up to me to build something meaningful with it. I don't need his stamp of approval to make this thing work. You don't either.

If you’ve been on the fence about launching that idea, that product, or even a simple Notion template, here's your sign to get started.

Don't wait for a hero to give you the green light—be your own hero. Build. Share your story. Get feedback. Adjust.

And most importantly—keep moving.
