Thanks for sharing your reflections, Matt! Two years ago I set the challenge to write a 160 pages business book so it hits my birthday book launch (4 May = tomorrow). For that I worked every day except one on the book for 6 weeks and launched successfully. And it was before AI was the help it is today…

Sometimes, going all in is just the right thing to do.

decide. execute.

period.

Hey Matt—Thanks for the share.

I’m brand new to Substack and have a basic question for you…. when you created your calendar, was it intentionally mapped out around a strategy or more loosely organized around a core topic? I’ve been thinking I want mine to follow a clear throughline—so that if someone looked back, all the content builds and connects around a central theme or narrative. But maybe that is overkill and I should let go of that type of constraint that I’m inclined to put on myself?

Hi Shannon,

I already know my core topics, so it was more some kinda random brain dump around ideas that gravitates around 'em

Hi Matt. I'm following and reading you. I'm considering doing a newsletter too, and wondering what platform do you write it on? Thanks.
