Issue 13 March 25, 2024 What I Do (and Don't) Know On my mind Over the weekend, I posted a vulnerable thread on X. It was part rant and part experiment. When it comes to social media, I pride myself on being real and never fake. This means that sometimes I feel compelled to share my lowlight reel, including my flaws, struggles, and mistakes. It felt good to vent and publicly share what I do and don't know right now. The thread was also a bit of an experiment to see what kind of comments I...

Issue 12 March 18, 2024 Stop Planning, Start Doing On my mind When it comes to work and life, I'm a planner. I use to-do lists. I like to make plans. I don't like surprises. 😆 For better or worse, I've always been like this. I used to think this was the best way to work and live. However, as an entrepreneur, I'm learning this mindset can be dangerous. Don't get me wrong. Roadmaps and task lists are not inherently bad, but spending too much time on them is. If you're building a business on the...

Issue 10 March 4, 2024 Consistency Over Perfection Week in Review Last week was up and down for me like a rollercoaster! I continued to move forward with some of my projects, but I was also stuck in my head for part of the week. I let self-doubt and feelings of being overwhelmed creep in. It's hard not to sometimes. I feel like my brain is overloaded with information most days. With each project I'm working on, I have a million thoughts per day about a million different things I need to do....

Issue 9 February 26, 2024 Start Today. Trust Me. Week in Review Last week is a bit of a blur but upon further reflection, it seems I mostly did what I wanted to do. It's honestly hard to keep track of what I worked on some weeks. I guess that's what happens when you attempt to work on 3 side projects while having a 9-5 job! Right now, I'm just trying to keep all the balls in the air that I'm juggling. If I was only working on one project, I would want to keep closer track of how I'm spending...
