Welcome to week #181 (in a row).
Each week, I experiment and synthesize ideas to help you (tbh both of us) Make Connections to yourself, ideas, and other people.
I’m learning this stuff too and sharing insights/examples/templates that may resonate or help you as well.
I love and appreciate each of you for reading (and your replies sharing your learnings too).
Okay now back to it (*wipes tears*).
Here’s your freshly compressed insights in 3 minutes.
🗓️ Commitment to Others
Last week I agreed to give a quick overview on content and LinkedIn in our AppSumo managers meeting.
I almost passed, but realized something key.
Saying yes, meant I had to follow through.
There’d be 20+ people in the zoom. So this simple “yes”, pushed me to sit down and actually curate all my favorite, most useful resources. Something I might not have done otherwise.
So 2 hours of prep later… I was excited to share it and reminded of the power of external accountability.
Takeaway:
If you want to follow through, create external stakes.
Involving other people (esp those whose opinions you value) adds a time-bound pressure and raises your bar.
🎁 Writing Resources
That one small commitment?
Turned into 2+ hours of me pulling together my absolute favorite writing and LinkedIn resources.
Great resource to use for ai prompting
Such as:
Doc of my favorite Copywriting Resources (use this for your prompts + brainstorms)
My favorite tools I’ve tested and love
Top performing posts/examples
And much more. (I aggregated this from years of copywriting courses, youtube video transcripts, etc.)
Since you’re a newsletter subscriber that means we’re like fam… So you can have it for free.
Check it out here to grab a copy for yourself.
🤔 New Mood, What Dis?
“Commitment is doing the thing you said you were going to do long after the mood you said it in has left you.”
— Darren Hardy
The idea isn’t to commit to everything.
It’s to commit to fewer things, but ones that feel aligned, exciting, or genuinely interesting.
What will you commit to this week? (Hit reply and let me know)
Salud,
Mitchell
