🪂 Care-Package:

A weekly package of actionable strategies to help you Grow Faster through content, business & health.

🧲 Attract an audience:

🤯 "I have no f*cking idea what to post." (Content Starter Kit)

If you ever get writers block and find it hard to stay consistent,

I’ve written a breakdown that will help you get to 20+ posts per week and make it feel easy.

🍄 Become Better:

🍿 If you don’t have time to read books about business, watch this:

As many of you know, I am a massive advocate of Alex Hormozi’s content.

It has some of the most immediately actionable business advice on the internet.

His book $100m offers has been a game changer for my entire approach to growing businesses in Web3.

BUT… not everyone has time to read.

So if you want a masterclass in business that you can listen to while walking, driving, cooking or picking up the kids…

🌿 Feel f*cking fantastic:

📆 I’ve changed how I structure my days and it’s working really well for me.

Now, before I get into it. This is DEFINITELY not going to work for everyone.

But it’s working really well for me, and even if you can’t use it to it’s maximum extent, you can apply a reduced version and get similar results.

It all started when I noticed a key problem.

I have a few habits that I try to maintain.

But at times it can feel like juggling 🤹‍♂️ 

And when something comes up during the day, one of these habits inevitably gets sacrificed.

Quick overview of what was occasionally getting skipped:

1. Meditation (I’m now doing 30 min meditations, which is harder to schedule)

2. Exercise (I do bodyweight work with a set of bars + some dumbbell exercises)

3. Eating a healthy lunch

4. Taking a solid extended mental break so that I am fresh in the afternoon.

So, this is the change I made. I now treat my days like I have 2 days in one:

Day #1 is 7am - 11am (4 hours of deep work)

Day #2 is 1pm - 7pm (6 hours of primarily follow-up related tasks)

You’ll notice that there’s a 2 hour gap between 11am - 1pm.

That is where I do my Meditation, exercise & take time to cook a healthy lunch. I do this whilst using as little of my phone as possible.

Now, instead of trying to find small gaps throughout my day to hit each of my goals,

I have a 2 hour zone to hit all my habits, and the best part is that it recharges me for an afternoon of work.

I am getting so much enjoyment and value out of this time.

If you can implement something similar, I highly recommend it.

💪 Building a Web3 business in Public

I am obsessed with getting under the hood and learning about how people run their businesses.

Not just the highlights, but literally what they’re doing on a day-to-day basis.

As many of you know, I’ve started a new newsletter called Web3 Jobs.

The goal is to create the largest, highest quality source of jobs in Web3.

So when I started it, I wanted to run an experiment 🧪

I wanted to take you behind the scenes on every decision that I’m making, so that you can see how I’m building it in realtime.

I’ve now started this video series to share the journey.

In Episode 1, I give a quick overview on how I’m approaching this business:

And in Episode 2, I give a deep dive on how I’m implementing automation & AI to make the newsletter take less than an hour each week to create:

^{If you’re new here, one of the core principles of the content I share is that a newsletter is the most linear and simple business you can start in Web3. It has high sponsorship revenue and can go from being a side hustle to a full-time business in under a year. I am building this newsletter in public, to share the progress each week so that you can be a partthe journey. Now let’s get into it 👇}

This Week:
Subscribers: 3,458 (+31 Subscribers)
Open Rate: 43.4%

Tracking my goals:

🚂 Improve the graphic design of this newsletter: Paused until 4,000 subs.

🚂 3,458 / 4,000 Subscribers: On Track 🧗‍♂️

Have an awesome weekend 💪
