What lands in your inbox

Each issue shares one deep dive, actionable idea. 

Here’s the territory we’ll spend time in…

Growth: what’s actually moving revenue across my portfolio and accounts right now: traffic, offers, pricing, channels.

Conversion & retention: the CRO and email work that turns the same traffic into more money.

Operations: getting the founder out of the bottleneck: team, systems and delegation that sticks.

Buying & selling: acquisitions, valuations, and what makes a business sellable.

The honest stuff: I share my misses and lessons too. I screw up just as much (if not more) than I succeed. You can learn from my mistakes as well.

Who writes Operator Notes?

I’m Jon Warren. I built and exited my first ecommerce store at $4M revenue, co-founded a $4.5M education company, coached 1,000+ business owners, and currently hold stakes in four ecommerce businesses across Australia and the US. 

Operator Notes is where I write down what I’m learning while it’s still fresh, the stuff I’d want someone to have told me.
