A daily mailing list. For 365 days.
Fucking scary.
Been doing this for 252 days till now and it still feels scary, but GREAT.
Joining Jonathan Stark’s Email365 last year to get to write consistently (again) was challenging/exciting.
Over half a year of doing this, there are still these mind tricks playing around:
- Will I have something to say?
- What if I run out of things to write about?
- What if I’m not clear enough?
See the pattern? → Me, Me, Me
There was a shift
Taking Me out of the equation to focus on YOU: the people I want to help, founders and indie solo consultants who want to make big things.
It was a simple reframe, but a game-changer.
Here are 7 things I’m (still) afraid of while going on these daily mailing:
- Not being able to help you re-think about your business.
- Not being able to challenge your beliefs about how to do and run business.
- Not being able get you off the hamster wheel and keep you overworked, in the weeds and busy AF.
- Not being able to help you implement different models and ways to come up with new offerings.
- Not being able to help you get off the motions of cost+ pricing
- Not being able to help you quit measuring everything by the hour / time.
- Not being able to help you think like a diver: To stop, reassess, correct and start over. To pause to think and do, so that you can bloom.
- [bonus] Not being able to help you when you need it most.
So, as friend of the list, Kevin Freidberg says in his daily emails:
I’m here (for you).
