Hi friends,
I hope you’re doing well.
I’ve had a very balanced week for the longest time.
I’d like to give credit to the Stoicism course I’m doing that makes me snap into the present and makes me realise things aren’t as bad as one’s mind makes it, haha (this is the link for the next one in case anybody is interested).
I’m also deciding on re-strategising a few things.
1️⃣ Family time
I’m going to make a conscious effort to spend more time with my family.
I’ve seen it’s what truly relaxes me and makes me feel happy. Happier than going out and shopping (invalid example as I haven’t done that since Dec 2020 haha).
2️⃣ Creating with my heart
I feel there are a lot of times I hold my back from saying things I truly want to say because of “what will people say about me?” or “but my old colleagues are on LinkedIn, they’ll judge me.”
My high-performing posts from 50,000 to 5,000,000 views are the ones I was scared to put up.
So I’ve decided to work on being more out there without caring about who gets offended (of course, I’ll be empathetic). For e.g.:
3️⃣ Changing my business strategy
So far, Summit 21 has been more successful than I imagined it. Each cohort has been VERY different from the previous one because I’m learning too.
I’ve decided to give a 3-month break between the end of this cohort and the start of the next one, as it’ll give me time to build something kick ass.
I’ve also decided to take 10ish people instead of 20. I know I can get 50 (I have sold out each time), but I want to work on the ground level and understand pain points and create an impact instead of getting the greens. I want to understand people and form a relationship.
I feel time and again, we’re always given something tempting to make us more money than today. That more never ends. I feel very satisfied with things right now and I want to choose quality over quantity.
Of course, the money is tempting. But I suppose that’s life’s way of testing you to see how deeply you align with your values.
4️⃣ Getting a new pair of eyes
I’ve been wearing specs since I was 6 and lenses since I was 12. I feel it’s finally time to get my vision corrected and will probably do that after my French class ends in mid-April.
Is there anything you resonate with? If you do, hit reply and let me know.

It’s funny that 50 other people feel the same. Hi5!
Your Exercise for This Week
Reflect.
Think about where you are, and where you want to be.
No, don’t think of anything as too unrealistic or stupid. Just think genuinely. You’re doing this for yourself, so don’t shy away from yourself.
Think about what’s coming in the middle.
Write down how can you curb that.
And tell me how that went. :)
I will see you again next week.
Love,
N
