I bet you 100% noticed it 👊

Hey Champ,

Last week, I scheduled all my emails for the first time in 2 years.

Did you notice a difference?

I was working with a coach over April/May because I wanted to up my writing chops.

And the task was simple.

If I could get my emails to him before our Monday call, I’d get a neat little set of edits in hand for our call.

It helped a lot. Having someone pin point what you’re doing well, so you can do more of it.

Or, pointing out the tiniest thing you’re doing wrong, that you can better.

And honestly, I hired him to do just that.

Because when you help winners win more, it’s a double edged win.

They’re already set to put in the work. You’re there as a guide.

- To spot the limitations
- To double down on the strengths
- To fix leaks that could turn into future fires
But it’s equally as enticing for both ends.

Now, I’m back to writing my emails in the mornings and truthfully… it feels better.

Yes, it’s good to plan ahead.

But as a creative, rather than a business man, I don’t like shoving constraints down my own throat.

When I’m hungry, I eat.

When I’m creative, I write.

And I’ve found that there’s momentum in recency.

Coming up with stories that are RECENT, just like people watch the news just flows better.

Now there’s no right or wrong.

It’s just something that works for me.

And some of my best emails were writing about my dog’s farting, or bus drivers swearing at me.

Because that’s something you can’t replicate.

Now, if you’re someone who wants to pin point their strengths, and iron out the weaknesses.

But have someone DO the work FOR you where you need to…

My 1:1 mentorship might be for you.

Hit reply with “POINT” and I’ll send over the deets.

(PS. There's absolutely no commitment at this stage, it's just an exchange to see if we're a good fit to make some magic internet munny)

Power to you,
