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.

  • Strive for Effectiveness, not Efficiency

    Hey Reader, One thing I’ve seen over the last few years in the productivity field is the hunt for efficiency. It is the idea that when you get things done faster—you will automatically get more done. Let’s take a trip down memory lane: The idea of efficiency stems from the industrial revolution. In factories, it mattered to get more done faster. Thus, the overall productivity rose. The machine could produce more products in less time. When I first got introduced to productivity, I fell in…

  • Don’t Be Scared of a Post to Fail

    Social media gets pretty boring.I read the same posts over and over again. Why do most people post the same stuff? It feels like there is nobody sharing fresh ideas. There are waves of trends.As soon as somebody posts something good,it gets reposted, repurposed a hundred times. They all look alike.Sound alike.Are there no new ideas? I believe it’s for one reason: Because people are actually scared their post won’t get enough likes. They hold back their genuine self, fresh thoughts, and new…

  • A Morning Routine Won’t Save You

    Hey Reader, Recently, a video went viral on TikTok.One Hustle Bro was showing off his morning routine.I’m not sure whether it was his actual morning routine (which I doubt) or if it was just staged. The full routine displayed in the video took him 5.5 hours.Five and a half hours. That’s just insane. You won’t get anything done by doing his morning routine. There has been so much chatter about the different morning routines.Yet nobody asks about the evening routines. To get a good start in the…

  • Strive for Excellence not Perfection

    Strive for Excellence not Perfection How often do we freeze up and can’t go forward, because something we have created isn’t good enough – isn’t perfect? Way too often. I have spent so many hours trying to perfect something. Our goal is often completion, or perfection. Reaching the 100%. It seems like it is always escaping us. I want to challenge the idea of perfection. We should strive for excellence. Doing something not for 100% perfection, but rather to a 90% excellence. Perfection keeps…

  • The No. 1 Skill for All Entrepreneurs

    Hey Reader, When I was starting out, my wife said:“You seem to be like you’re on a rollercoaster.” When a video I uploaded performed well — I was excited.I was on top of the world. Another day, I got a bad comment,and the whole day was ruined by insecurity. This continued day in, day out. On extreme days, it was the top of the world in the morning, and the valley of death in the afternoon. This brings me to the most important skill to master: Emotional Resilience.

  • Good Decisions vs. Good Outcomes

    Hey Reader, Just because you won something doesn’t mean that it was a good decision to participate. Sometimes in life, it feels like we were just lucky—that we were in the right place at the right time. We observe this in the lives of others as well. Some people around you just seem like they got lucky, were gifted. When we are starting a business, it feels daunting. It feels like we have to be lucky.
