Hi friend,
How do you want December to look for you?
Do you want to look back and think that
- you missed the boat and continue researching and consuming,
or
- you finally, finally took a step ahead towards your goals?
It's never too late to do things that help you live a better life.
I just got back from my week-long vacation to Bali. And while I wanted to talk about some of my reflections, I thought, let's talk about that next week.
August starts today.
So today we'll talk about how YOU can make the most of the rest of the year.
If your goal for 2026 was to build your personal brand or do something extraordinary, read this.
If you haven't taken the first step... then you need this :)
This could be you
If you start this month, towards the end of the year, you could have
- 40+ LinkedIn posts
- 20 newsletter issues
- a small and engaged audience
- your first $100 (or $1000) from your side hustle
If you're keen to do that, let's start building. Because mentioning 'what' without the 'how' isn't my style 😌
First, start showing up
Write on LinkedIn and hit publish.
It doesn't matter how scared you feel because there's literally no way to overcome the fear unless you hit the publish button.
And it gets better from there.
Now, pick one post
Open a Substack account and add more substance to one of your LinkedIn posts.
This is your newsletter issue.
Publish weekly.
Do notes/ tweets
Pick 3 meaningful sentences or inferences from your newsletter and convert them into Substack notes or X tweets.
Publish 3 times a day.
(Just schedule it!)
Create an army
Pick 5 accounts you like on all platforms. Take out 10-20 minutes a day to engage with them.
This is the only way to get visible.
If you don't engage but you create, you're talking in an empty room.
Do this till December
And I promise you, something will shift.
If you don't do it, you'll never know it.
If you do it, you'll come and tell me yourself that so much has changed since before you started.
You'll have a whole new growth mindset.
On the side...
Learn from people who are where you want to be and talk about it online.
Read books like Mindset, Grit, Deep Work, and Unlimited Power.
Finally
You can pass it off as inspiration or actually take these measures and change things for yourself.
The needle doesn't move unless you do.
So... shall we?
All the best!
Love,
N
