Good things come to those who write
After a few years of publishing sporadically, I've now sent this newsletter every week for 20 weeks in a row!
Possibly the most important lesson you can learn as creator is how quickly consistent effort stacks up. The first two or three come easily from your initial motivation, then the next four or five are really challenging. But if you keep at, you'll find yourself with a flywheel that keeps turning each week.
What would showing up consistently look like for you? Is that a habit you could commit to? Hit reply and let me know what it is.

Good things come to those who write
All of my highest paid friends are writers. Thinking back to what I knew of the world 15 years ago that is astounding. How is it that one of the world's highest paying professions is open to anyone, without gatekeepers or requiring formal education?
If you wonder about topics like that I think you'll enjoy my post from the archives:

WHAT I'M WATCHING
The Night Manager
Browsing Prime Video the other night I came across The Night Manager with Tom Hilldeston and Hugh Laurie. Its really good! In an age where spy and action shows just try to one up each other with epic fight scenes and larger explosions, The Night Manager is a breath of fresh air. It starts slow and methodical and builds into a great storyline with characters I really enjoyed.

Hey Reader, What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail? You’ve probably seen some version of this question before. It’s a good one, though sometimes the answer isn’t immediately obvious. That’s why I like Graham Weaver’s 8 questions for what to do with your life. Graham founded the private equity firm Alpine Investors, and he teaches at Stanford. In Chapter 2 of my upcoming book, The Ladders of Wealth, I credit him with a principle he shared with his MBA students called "worse first",...
Hey Reader, If I could solve only one thing in my business, that would have the biggest impact, what would that be? This is the question every great entrepreneur obsesses over. Rather than trying to do everything at once, you look for the bottleneck and focus on solving that. There’s a book called The Goal by an Israeli physicist named Eliyahu Goldratt. It’s a 1984 business novel that business systems nerds love. However if you’re not a business systems nerd you probably… won’t love it. It’s...
Hey Reader, Have you ever spent money on something and immediately felt guilty afterward? Will Guidara spends his money foolishly on purpose. And he thinks you should too. He once bought an entire barrel of whiskey and put it in his basement. He also put a skee-ball machine in the office. Is he going to get a monetary return on either of these things? No. But that’s kind of the point. He calls it the 95/5 rule: Manage your money and time like a maniac 95% of the time (no expense is too...
