One word to eliminate when focusing on your creative journey


Howdy Reader!

In the last email I talked about searching for counterproductive activities.

One of those activities was dealing with time-wasting people.

People who need you a lot more than you need them.

People who abuse your time with endless requests and/or constant drama.

People who may have started off acting reasonably, but aren't anymore.

This doesn't imply that there aren't good reasons for why these people act the way they do.

But, for your own sanity and progress, it's time to set boundaries.

And there's one word that is incredibly empowering to omit from these conversations:

"Sorry"

You don't have to be sorry for leveling up.

You don't have to be sorry for taking control of your time.

You don't have to be sorry for guarding your energy.

You don't have to be sorry for focusing on your work, your mission, and your journey.

So don't use it.

Let's grow together!

Howdy Reader! In a previous newsletter, I mentioned that videos were getting easier to produce. Just record something, get the pauses out, add some call-outs, and publish. Done, and done. It's not effortless, but it's also not a trial every single day. Once it becomes easier to make the videos, from start to finish ... ... it becomes easier to do it consistently. I've done 13 videos this month already. That's very consistent for me. Everywhere I go, I read and watch about the virtues of...
