LET’S GROW

Happy New Year friends!

Before we get into today’s subject, I wanted to let you know that I am putting off starting the premium section of this newsletter, which is called “Unfiltered Besties”, until we finish the last elements of what we will provide for you. Here are some of the plans for the Besties.

1. A discord server where we have further discussion about the subject

   

2. A monthly video chat where we will have in-depth master classes on the newsletter topics

3. The ability to preview and contribute to the content of the newsletter, before it’s released

4. Help selecting the subjects most relevant to you

5. Your story being featured (if you choose) in the newsletter

Things will naturally expand as more people join, but I think this is a great start for the vision of this newsletter: to create a supportive community that has discussions about how to help ourselves and each other grow. The premium section will be released next week, but you have the ability to subscribe now if you’d like. Upgrade here -

Thank you in advance for the support. It all goes toward improving and expanding the content you see here.

Many people set New Year’s resolutions, including me. It’s a wonderful thing to set goals for yourself, but here are the stats on how many people complete their goals.

• After week one, 23% of new year’s resolutioners quit

• After month one, 64% of new year’s resolutioners quit

• At the end of the year, 91% of new year’s resolutioners have quit

These are not good odds. What can we do to improve these odds? I am glad you asked!

1. Set short term goals to go with your long term goals. It’s great to have long term goals, but to get there it takes smaller goals! It’s like this “how to draw an owl” meme. You won’t know how to draw an owl, as you haven’t built up the skill. Be patient, and learn the steps.

   

2. Create community surrounding your goal. If you have support, you are more likely to accomplish your goals! I have a section of my Discord and we can share our goals with each other and grow together

3. Set initial goals that are easily achievable. Our brains LOVE accomplishing things. You will get motivation from even something as simple as making your bed in the morning. Start with those and your motivation will increase. 

4. Set goals for things you WILL do instead of things you will avoid. Keep it positive and positive things will happen. Think of it this way - DON’T picture an elephant… chances are now a lot of you are envisioning an elephant. Where you focus is where your focus will go.

I have some ideas of where I want this year to go, which I will share in the personal note section below, but tell me what your goals are for the new year! 

LET’S DISCUSS

Here are some of the the responses from Patreon supporters on Discord. Join us!

Walking was the majority of what I did last month and it was amazing

You will be you regardless. Why not enjoy that person?

I got a financial advisor last year and the education has been invaluable

Non toxic is key. Can’t heal and thrive in toxicity.

ON PERSONAL NOTE

This newsletter community is what I realize I have been trying to build towards my entire career.

It’s not about an algorithm or getting the most followers I can. Instead, finding the right people, with the right mindset, and helping each other thrive.

This is a group of thought leaders and I am loving every interaction. Happy New Year. Let’s do this.

There are a few places for you to connect outside of the newsletter!
