Loved this piece! A good reminder of best practices to follow from now on and as a real reminder about what I want to build, how I want to build and with which community :)

so glad you enjoyed it Monica! Yes we have the choice here, and need to be super careful about what kind of business we build!

Yes! Having ADHD it was pretty engaging for me and my brain was willing to read it from top to bottom! 😀

Yes, my boyfriend jsut came home and told me, “hei you are not talking to me or looking at me now and I just want to talk to you.” I needed to tell him I was reading :) I felt a bit guilty to be honest.

It takes a very persistent person to be able to break that level of hyperfocus :P So glad you read and resonated with this piece today. And hopefully your boyfriend will forgive you for ignoring him for a while ;)

I am also enjoying Substack. Knowing yourself and being courageous are crucial for content creators on these platforms. There is so much we can do with our energies, but there is more we need to filter and censor. These superpowers do come with responsibility.

In my case, I had to inform everyone on social media sites where I have around 1,000 to 2,000 followers to attract engagement and audience from those sites, but I work quietly and protect the idea I am working on. Silently working in solitude is important, but it often stumps us, resulting in stagnant growth. Pushing against the confirm level is important.

I am glad your guest has provided me with the reinforcement I needed to keep pursuing this journey.

Great comment Abdul and thanks for tuning in. Working in solitude is the biggest and most underrated flex! Glad this conversation could give you the reinforcement you needed ;)

Protecting my peace is number one 🥰

I feel you on this 10000%. Protect your peace at ALL costs. Even on Substack ;)

Absolutely after 38 years as an entrepreneur… I have learned to be very intentional of everything I expose myself to.

This livestream resonated on several levels I didn’t expect. I keep learning something new about myself every day. 💛
