View in browser Hi Reader I just received an email I had sent to myself a year ago. (Yep — I do that. And you can too, by the way: https://www.futureme.org/) Reading it inspired me to share this with you today. The letter applauded me. She (future me) celebrated the stamina, the trust that it would all work out, and the patience to embrace small steps — even when they didn’t feel glamorous. She thanked me for practicing what I preach: Choosing progress over perfection. Being a proud C student...

View in browser Hi Reader As I mentioned last week, I like to ace my MBA. (Yes, probably some old beliefs popping up there — hey, I’m human too. That’s why I get coached as well 😏) But here’s the thing: In some areas, I’m perfectly fine being a C student. A few weeks ago, I went to an escape room with my teammates. We didn’t get out in time. (And no, they don’t leave you locked in forever. 😉) And you know what? I was okay with it. Because the goal wasn’t to win — it was to have fun. To bond....

View in browser Hi Reader When I launched my very first e-commerce website (many moons ago), I poured everything into it. I had the most stunning design, professional product photos — and this was before the drag-and-drop era. Custom-coded, fancy, and yes… expensive. The moment it went live, I was thrilled. So I waited. And waited. I kept refreshing the page… expecting that first order to magically roll in. What I forgot was one tiny detail: Nobody knew about my beautiful website. 😅 I...

View in browser Hi Reader When I started getting professional guidance and began taking myself — and my business — seriously, that’s when I saw a big shift in my success. I grew and sold four companies. And with every single one, I grew alongside it: I got more guidance. I invested in better support. I stopped treating my business like it was “no big deal.” Honestly, maybe I should flip it: I stopped treating myself like I was “no big deal.” Because winging it can only get you so far. (Trust...

View in browser Hi Reader So two weeks ago, I went on a little adventure. (Okay, maybe a big one 😏) We took a week-long skipper sailing course in Desolation Sound on Vancouver Island — and it was absolutely stunning. In preparation, I got professional advice. About the right gear About how to prepare for the exams Even practical tips like which ferries to take and where to stay before embarking It was obvious: If you want to succeed — and enjoy the journey — you ask for guidance. So why, for...

View in browser Hi Reader Moving to another country means facing a lot of new rules, habits, and ways of doing things — and let me tell you, it can feel very overwhelming. At first, I thought: I’ll figure it all out myself. But you know what? There are a lot of people who can help you out. It’s just a matter of asking for help — and letting go of that stubborn “I can do it on my own” mindset. It’s okay to ask for help, yep, it really is! It saves you time, energy, and — let’s be honest — much...

View in browser Hi Reader I’ve been meaning to send you this newsletter for the past few weeks. Every day, it was right there — top of my to-do list. And every day…the box stayed unchecked 😤 At one point, I even thought: Maybe I’ll just quietly disappear for a bit… because getting back into the groove felt harder than I expected. But the thing is — I like connecting with you. I love reading your replies. I believe in the work I do. So why was it so hard to get going again? Here’s what I...
