Halloooo!
I hope you're having a lovely day! Happy 10/19/19! Good things are happening right now - all you have to do is be open to them xo
Perhaps I should just call this my weekend newsletter instead of my Friday newsletter... lol :)
No actually, what I need to do is batch these out in advance quarterly and create a more efficient, automated system for curating my best of the best content and resources for you.
I consume dozens of podcasts, articles, videos, webinars, books, etc a week, and I save a lot of links for future reference or sharing on certain topics. Then I choose the top three to five each week to share with you here.
Truth be told, this newsletter needs a revamp. I've been wanting to change up the format, header, and tagline for a while - but I see now that other things have to fall into place first.
I started it with the bare minimum resources just to get something going... my usual way of leaping and building the airplane on the way down. I launched in June 2018 (omg just realized it's been almost 18 months!) and this is the 42nd letter that I am sending you!!
Right now there are 210 subscribers in this community and you humans are some of my favorite in the entire world! I am beyond grateful for your time and I do my best to make the most out of this letter for you each week.
Yes, I do have intentions to grow this community. But all that list building stuff out there does not resonate with me - I don't care to build a superficial list of 100k folks just because I want them to buy my affiliate products or whatever the fuck I end up doing.
I'm in this for the long run. I'm not looking for explosive growth or millions of followers. I don't want to make a living by monetizing my community. I want genuine connections giving authentic advice that is not skewed by any sponsorship.
I'm here to send the elevator back down, and trust that the rest will fall into place.
WHERE I'M TRAVELING
- Closing out my seventh week in Amsterdam! I can't believe I have two weeks left, and although I wish I could extend my time here (LOL I did try to this week but it didn't work out), I feel like I've been here forever in the sense of growth and transformations.
- Sharing all my daily adventures over on Insta - usually with a two day delay because I am taking insta out of the gram to stay in the moment :)
- Come explore with me: Van Gogh museum, Zandvoort beach, Biking with Fiep, A'DAM Lookout swing, and Rijksmuseum have been some of my recent favorites! + Shout out to my favorite window spot at home because #introvertlife :)
WHAT I'M WRITING
- WOWOW so much has happened this week I almost forgot to include this!!! I'm delighted and thrilled to be quoted (twice!) in this HuffPost travel article - How To Sleep Better On Planes!!!
HOW I'M BUILDING MY BUSINESS
- See all of the above ;) Slowly... but surely and intentionally!
YOUTUBE VIDEO I'M WATCHING
Now let's go and just take it one day, one step at a time!
P.S. As a newsletter subscriber, you have had the most insight into what I have been up to the past year and a half - career, personal branding, travel, solopreneur business building - I am sooo curious as to what resources you think I could best create and provide for YOU. What do YOU want for your journey? Hit reply and LMK, I'd love to schedule a few 20-minute calls with this crew to connect and pick your brain if you're open to it!
P.P.S. You are good enough. You are smart enough. You are talented enough. You always have been. You always will be.
