I really like how you pointed out that consistency is crucial to succeed, but you can't get stuck in your consistent bubble. You also have to experiment, explore, evolve.

And the reminder of connecting with other creators is always a good one.

I really like how your substack system starts with mindset - not content, not audience - yourself. And the stories you tell yourself. This is one of the things I envy in Americans (as a generalisation): they have a much more "anything is possible" and "I can do it" mindset.

Just read your article and it gave me more ideas and confidence to continue.

I’ve been struggling to increase the number of Subscribers and I know it is a long run.

I will try to engage more with other accounts to find ways to mutually collaborate and grow togheter.

This is great advice and a lot of it comes down to that business mindset. And that does not mean you have to have the goal to make money. If you want to enjoy the whole Substack experience for the long term, these habits are very important.

The part about serving your clients is particularly important to me. All my experimentation and trying new things is learning new ways to help my readers in a real, tangible way.

And collaborating is indeed really fun! 🤩 when will you collaborate with me? 👀 😂
