Hey Reader, I'm back from an amazing yoga festival, a trip to the Austrian countryside, and a day in Munich, where I met writer friends. Physically, I'm back in the office. Mentally, I'm dying of excitement because I'm going to Taylor Swift's Eras Tour next week! I'll be at a pre-event on Wednesday, at the concert on Thursday + Friday, and outside the stadium on Friday (unless I get last-minute tickets!) When I told my friends about my plans, they were stunned that I'm taking three days off work to go to the same concert. But hey, that's the beauty of being your own boss: You make the rules. 😉 I spent the past 6 years building a creator business that allows me to:

Hey Reader! Do you know James Clear? He wrote the bestseller Atomic Habits and runs a huge newsletter with millions of subscribers. I've been a fan of his work for years and love this Tweet: I had the same feelings when I started to write online in 2018. I thought I was too late. People were saying new writers couldn't build an audience anymore. And to be honest, some of these voices discouraged me. Whenever I felt stuck, I told myself it was because I was too late. I tried to comfort myself...

Alright Reader, this is a partially angry email, but bear with me - I promise that the message will change how you think about the online writing world. Over the past five years, I've worked with thousands of writers. I worked with them inside my signature program, Medium Writing Academy. In my Write • Build • Scale Membership. In 1-on-1 coachings.
