Whatup Reader!

We're keeping this one short and sweet today, and not just because It’s mid-December and I don’t feel like doing shit. We're keeping this one short and sweet because I want to make sure there’s no fluff to confuse you, no extra words to distract you, and basically zero reasons for you to not take action.

My soft suggestion action item for you:

Write down exactly how you’re feeling right now.

How much work you want to be doing, how much tv you’d rather be watching, how cold you are, how much you want to punch yourself for agreeing to squeeze in that extra patient, how stressed you are, how ready you are to be done with everything once the sun goes down at 3:59pm.

Write. It. Down.

From there, go to your calendar for next year and adjust what you need to adjust.

If you need to block off your schedule, block it off now.

If you need to put in for PTO, put it in now. (Clearly I actually have no idea how that shit works so do whatever needs to be done so that you can have your time off next year.)

If you need to schedule more clients or launches at other times of the year so that you can have time to rest come December, open up those slots now.

If you planned and prepared for this season and you're feeling great now, CLAP FOR YOUR DAMN SELF.

Seasonality is very real, spirality is very real, and you will very much be feeling the exact same way this time next year…so make moves now.

If you’ve been in my ecosystem for basically any amount of time then you’ve likely heard me say this a bunch, but a bunch never, so I’m saying it again.

Write it down and then take action.

Alright, das all I got for you.

Happy Monday, Reader.

Maestro out.

Don’t launch it

Read time: 1 min 53 sec Whatup Reader! First off, BIG thank you for the kind (and enthusiastic) responses to last week’s email. Ya’ll are my people. I wanted to follow up that email with a business lesson that maybe is a non-sequitur, but I don’t even care, because it needs to be said. Ya’ll, if no one has raised their hands and said they want the thing that you want to make, DON’T LAUNCH IT. I’m not saying this because I don’t believe in you, I’m saying this because I believe in math. So...

🎶 These hoes ain’t loyal 🎶

Read time: 3 min 21 sec Whatup Reader! Sooooo, yesterday the email marketing service formally known as ConverKit sent out an email announcing a significant price increase for all of its users, effective October 15th. People were, understandably and justifiably, pissed. Everyone checking their email on Monday morning. Now, I use ConvertKit. I’ve been a loyal subscriber since 2015. Their platform is actually how you’re receiving this very email. Yes, my price is going up, no, I’m not happy...

I’m not sad

Read time: 2 min 22 sec Whatup Reader! Sliding in today to give you the permission you don’t need to change directions. There’s plenty of memes out there that say that every day is an opportunity to start all over again and while I think there’s a bit more nuance than that and some planning is definitely required, the sentiment that any day is absolutely the right day to make the decision and take the first step in a new direction, is very accurate. I’ve run my Instagram Intensive for six...
