Hello Reader, You need to hear this: You're not too old to start your dream business. I've been dreaming of being my own boss since my 20s. Between then and turning 50 this year, I've also
Now, for my second act, I'm ramping up my dreams of being my own boss. This had always taken the backseat as other more important priorities in life took centerstage. But I refuse to give up on this dream. Over the years, I never stopped learning and picking up skills (including money-making side gigs!) while doing what I needed to do to provide for our family, If you have a dream in your heart to build a business, no matter how late or old you think you are, take this as inspiration to start. Even if you don't end up making the millions of dollars you set out to, the journey will change you for the better as a person.

Reader, Work expands to fill the time you give it. That's Parkinson's Law. This past week, I tried giving myself 10 minutes to write my daily LinkedIn post in the mornings. It worked. It might be stressful to some, but it energized me, as I watched the timer counting down while I typed away. 10 minutes isn't a magic number - there's no research behind it. It's just what I could fit into an already early start at 4.30am after my morning routine. So now, my morning routine looks like this...
Reader, It's 9.17pm on Sunday as I'm writing this newsletter that I should have sent by 9am today. And I really didn't feel like doing this when it's almost my bedtime for an early morning start tomorrow at 4.45am. Then I remind myself - this effort is the work that's building my dream.
