Merry Christmas 🎄

Hey All,

Quickly popping into your inbox today to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

I am extremely grateful for this community. When I left my first startup I had loads of self doubt. It wasn't until months later when I spoke with a few VCs and Accelerators I had worked with who wanted me to teach their portfolio companies how to pitch that I really started to get back on my feet.

All of go through hardships and the lows are much lower for entrepreneurs like us. At this it feels as if we’ve dedicated our lives to something that can disappear in seconds.

I know many of you are still grinding day in and day out to accomplish your goals. For me, my newsletters and the community around them is my guiding light. No matter how hard things get, I know that if I show up and write my newsletters I'll have dozens of people each day writing back sharing their thoughts, experiences and achievements.

Thank you all for this incredible gift you’ve given me. I will work tirelessly to ensure that my content is the most valuable you receive in your inbox every single day and that each of you has the best possible chance of achieving your goals.
