How I’ve posted a daily Newsletter for 100 days

For the longest time, people have said:
“Send a Newsletter. You need to own your list. You need to write a weekly Newsletter.”

It took me over 4 years to even send my first Newsletter.
I tried to follow the advice of all the industry leaders.
Until one in-depth Newsletter a week.

When I looked at their schedule, they said to work 2 hours per day.
At the end of the week, you have a 3,000-word Newsletter.
It will take 12 minutes to read that Newsletter.

When I receive those Newsletters, some make it on my “read later list” only to never look back at them again.
So I thought to myself:
This is not good for both seller and reader.
I forget to write the Newsletter, and you forget to read it.

The one thing I believe is:
Once you make building your business a habit, no one can compete with you.
Once you make your business a routine for your fans, you won’t fail.

So I sat down to think.
The major part is that newspapers win because they are part of the morning routine for their readers.

This gave me the idea to write the daily Newsletter.
Now I thought the 12-minute read time wouldn’t work either.
While you get to read this 1-minute Newsletter, I’m sitting at my desk each morning, writing the handwritten Newsletter for you to read.

This is how I made my Newsletter a habit for myself.

    There is a limit to the work we can do. We all have 24 hours in a day. We might have a different energy level to start, but in the evening, our energy will be spent. The only way to do more is by building with leverage. It used to be that we needed to lift the heavy stones by hand. Then they developed the crane. Now one person could pull the rope and pull up the rock alone. We can have multiple levers. When I was younger, I rode my bike everywhere to school. There was a limit to how fast I…

  • In Business the winner is always the tortoise

    Most people start their business as the hare.Sprinting through the tasks. I did that too — thinking the amount of work is what makes the difference. So I tried to become more efficient. I hustled all I could. The interesting twist is:The tortoise will win. That is also true in business. Business is not a sprint. It’s a life-long marathon. There is no shortcut, because it ends when we’re dead. Success will happen when you do the right things at the right time. That’s the foundation side most…

  • The $1 Billion Business You Would Never Sell?

    Hey Reader, In a recent podcast that I listened to, they were chatting about the perfect business. A lot of people advise to build a business you could sell later.

It is the other way around. They want to show their work. What a good work ethic looks like. In the podcast, the host asked: “What if I…

    Reflections on my 29th Birthday 10 years ago I made a decision. The decision was to study forestry. At the time I thought it would be the best way for me to lay the foundation for my future family. Reflecting back on that, it has been an amazing 10 years – totally not what I expected though. The biggest joy of those years has definitely been that I could marry my beautiful wife. Second to that is the birth of our son. This makes me now responsible for my family.
