I am building a consulting business and it's my first year doing this full-time, helping schools and family-centered organizations communicate inclusively in multiple languages. Unstuck always does exactly what it says — helps me get unstuck. It is the only email newsletter I subscribe to that I ALWAYS open. In fact, I didn't send my own weekly emails for four years, because I never had a model for one that was useful and not just inbox clutter. I have modeled my own emails after Pat's now that I see it can be done, and my open rate in just my first year doing this is consistently between 50 and 60 percent.

I love Pat's newsletter. It hits the inbox with a great story, the best part of the newsletter, instead of random tips and advice with no background. It helps me to comprehend what's written in the newsletter more easily.

How have Unstuck and Pat Flynn changed our lives? Beyond our wildest dreams. We're sisters, Amy and Nancy Harrington, the Founders of The Passionistas Project sisterhood. Back in May of 2023, we had been struggling to figure out how to launch our online community. We knew we wanted to create a space for our growing sisterhood of passion-driven women to come to get support, find their purpose, and feel empowered to transform their lives and change the world. But we had no idea how to start. What platform should we use? What was the best strategy to build the most compelling framework for our members? What was it going to cost and how could we monetize the space? We kept going onto platforms, poking around and trying to figure out what to do — only to lose steam, get distracted and move on to some other distraction. We honestly felt like giving up. We were stuck. And then we opened an email from Pat Flynn called "My Daughter's Baked 'Not-So-Goods' ". (How could we not?) Pat told a truly charming story about helping his little girl learn from her baking disaster, teaching her not to give up and to give it one more go. Just below that reminder that "failure is essential" was a link to RSVP to SPI's "How to Launch Your Community" webinar! [Insert the choir of angels singing here.] SPI's step-by-step instructions helped us create the community of our dreams. We launched The Passionistas Project sisterhood last week and already have an active membership of women sharing their wins, connecting with each other, and offering support to one another. Thanks to Pat Flynn (and his daughter's cookie fail), we got unstuck and our community dreams are coming true.

I am Dr.Amrita Basu, an ENT surgeon from India and a big fan of Pat Flynn since 2014 . The SPI podcast and blog inspired me to start my own blog in 2014 (HealthWealthBridge.com) and podcast (HealthWealthBridge by Dr.Amrita) in 2018 and I haven't looked back. I am currently working on my 16th book about Nature Therapy (the effect of green plants on health and wellness). Unstuck has helped me understand what really works for newsletters and why I have been a subscriber to Pat's newsletter for so long. It has helped me understand that there should be a single crucial takeaway from a newsletter. Whatever else there might be, that lesson is what I have learned. Unstuck is inspiring in so many ways. I love the dad joke of the week and how Pat breaks down difficult topics and makes them relevant to creators like me. I also trust Unstuck to recommend things that truly work because Pat's experience as a creator entrepreneur is what makes this newsletter one of a kind. A newsletter with integrity, that's the best thing about Unstuck.

Hi, I'm Till, I'm an old-school musician learning to find some leverage in the online education and community spaces. Unstuck kept me fired up when I hit snags, fed me good ideas, and showed me the ropes. Pat does not pretend marketing's easy or a one-way ticket to success. Honesty's the best policy. Check.

I'm always sure to read Unstuck! Being in the early stages of building a multi-faceted organization, every note feels relevant to the challenges I face. Pat provides nuggets of wisdom that help me push forward and keeps me up to date on helpful events and resources. Plus, I never miss a chance to laugh at the dad joke included at the end!

As a blogger starting my own business, I was seeking guidance and advice from those who have been there. That's exactly what I found with Pat Flynn's Unstuck newsletter series. Pat shares from his years of real-world experience in building successful online businesses and brands. His practical tips help me stay motivated, focused, and progressing when doubts or obstacles arise — getting truly "unstuck" with mindset and productivity strategies.

I get stuck a lot, and have periods of feeling very unmotivated. Unstuck offers gentle encouragement to keep going. It feels like an email from a friend, which is nice to receive. And I like the dad jokes!

I'm Melissa Davis, a Midlife Transformation Coach helping overwhelmed women over 40 breathe fresh life into midlife. I live in Australia, am proudly an SPI Community member, and I'm working on birthing my business, Hello Prime Life, and launching my podcast. Pat's Unstuck Newsletter is one of the few emails I'm always happy to see pop into my Inbox. I've lost count of the "a-ha" moments and ideas his insights have sparked for me. True to the name, there's always some nugget that helps me get unstuck and take focused action on whatever I'm working on in my business. I love the real and relatable stories he shares of his personal experiences, threaded through with his expert knowledge and lessons learned. I appreciate his ability to make the complex simpler and more manageable. I value the unique and useful content, it's a great balance of inspiration and information in a concise and easily digestible format. And yes, even those terrible dad jokes make me smile. Keep it coming please 🙏🏻

I am an online content creator and digital marketer. Unstuck has helped me become more intentional about creating a loyal audience. The best thing about Unstuck is Pat’s easygoing way of writing and valuable advice that always strike a chord.

I am an online entrepreneur who has not only been reading Unstuck newsletters but also getting stuck in them for the love of it. Unstuck is like a course to me. Sometimes, when I'm not in the mood, I go into my inbox and search for it, and if there's no latest I make sure I go back to the previous one. The moment I'm done, ideas flow in. The best part is they're loaded with value and there's always a takeaway.
