Resources of the weekđ„
1. Welcome sequence masterclass by Jeff Felten
Email welcome sequences are the most underrated strategies to upsell or develop relationships with your subscribers. And Jeff solves the exact problem by giving precise strategies to fire up your email skills.
UgghhâŠitâs so amazing that I revamped my whole email strategy inspired by his masterclass. Itâs genuinely an information overload:)

Who am I??? Who do I want to be??
In the past 3 months, Iâve been obsessing about the above 2 questions. To the point where my husband has gotten sick of me
Why?
Because I realized as a new entrepreneur, these 2 questions will lay the foundation of EVERY decision you take.
Who are you? What kind of people do you want to work with? How will your life look in the next couple of years? How much do you want to earn? Whatâs the one thing you want to be known for? What sort of folks do you want to avoid?
[the above questions are an extension of the leading 2 questions]
I know. These are intensely deep questions.
But theyâre necessary.
Because thatâs how you will behave with your peers, develop relationships, and decide what matters & what doesnât. Once I figured out these questions, my jealousy of the âbig accountsâ vanished because I realized I didnât want to be like that anyway.
Also, I instantly started attracting âmy kind ofâ people.
Makes sense?
Iâm not asking you to figure this out in 1 day.
But I would truly suggest you sit in a quiet place and ponder these questions. Many aspects of your business and life will automatically fall into perspective once you do it.
And you start having more meaningful conversations thatâll elevate your life.
Iâm finally getting okay with taking breaks
I used to be (still kind of am) a workaholic.
There, I said it.
I used to either work or feel guilty about not working until a couple of months back. I drove myself to a level where I started getting white hair at 25 and burnt out.
An (almost) mental breakdown finally put things in perspective for me 2 months back. I could not continue that lifestyle anymore.
And I finally started working bit by bit on my attitude, health, and mindset.
Itâs hard, and Iâm still working on itâŠbut I feel much saner now:)
Entrepreneurship is hard, no doubt. Especially when you donât have anyone dictating your path ahead, itâs so easy to get overwhelmed because there are always a million things to do!
Take breaks. Take a deep breath from time to time.
Itâs okay.
Your business will survive:)
I hope this email pushes you âslightlyâ towards taking more care of yourself.
