A Personal Introduction!

Happy New Year! I figured today was as good of a day as any to write a quick introduction about myself and why I started Weekly Concept to begin with.

My name is Connor Strickland and I have had a love for business and entrepreneurship for as long as I can remember. Like many, my intro to entrepreneurship was by making money cutting the neighbors grass in the neighborhood, then by producing video content for local businesses, and then launching a full blown marketing agency when I graduated college.

I currently run a digital marketing agency (Redemptive Digital) and an online plant delivery business (The Plant Firm). But, more so than that, I am constantly looking for opportunities hiding in plain sight and always ideating.

Over the years, I have kept a Google Sheet with business ideas, go to market strategies, and just about anything else that comes to mind about business.

(If you know me personally, you have likely woken up to a new business idea text message or email.)

I realized I had years worth of ideas collecting dust in a Google Sheet and knew I would likely never pursue them personally. However, I still revisit them often in the hopes that someone else will.

You see, I love ideating, figuring out how to solve everyday problems, and seeing if I can create something from nothing and then casting that vision to others.

However, I have learned that I am not always the best person to pursue said idea. Often times I can be the one to create the idea, build the landing page, and sell to the first few customers, but then I need to hand it off to someone far better.

So, rather than try and pursue these wild ideas of mine, I decided to create Weekly Concept as a way to put my ideas out there in the public with the hopes that maybe one of you will run with it.

Some of these ideas may already have names and brands, some have domains and landing pages that are organically getting traction, and some are nothing more than a late night shower thought with very little structure.

My hope is that these weekly newsletters provide you value, inspiration, and the courage you need to pursue your own ideas. Or, simply pursue one of mine.

Over the coming months, I plan on launching resources, products, and offerings that will better serve you in your pursuit of launching a business.

If I can be of any help, please reach out to me directly at [email protected] or connect with me on LinkedIn.

Have a great start to 2024!

Cheers,

Connor
