Exciting times this week as we launch our first newsletter! Working on the newsletter as well as updates to the website have been so much fun. I have wanted for a while to share more tools on this site that have shown time and time again to be helpful for the business owners I work with. And I’ve wanted to share other resources, like articles, videos, podcasts and ideas more too. It’s been one of those things that I’ve been so eager to share yet holding back.

As the saying goes ‘Sorry for the long letter, I would have written you a short one if I had more time’. I don’t want to do that. I want the newsletter to be intentional, just like the templates, tools and all the work that I create. It has been so rewarding over the past few years to bring concise, practical, thoughtful templates to business owners as they take on new opportunities for their business. My goal with sharing more here, in the newsletter and other forms is to share out tools to help business owners AND entrepreneurs-to-be go from ideas to action. And really to have more time for the things that light them up and where they can truly make a difference in the world.

The big obstacle in getting work out there has been in being concise. I do a lot of work concisely and I pride myself on that. Moving to new mediums, like a newsletter (or even this weekly note), presents its own challenges. A helpful thought : this is newsletter 1.0. The really great newsletter might be version 3.0 and in order to get there, I need to go through the process of making 1.0. It’s not about sending out sub-par work. It’s about excellent work that still has room to improve THAT you need to put it out there in the world to find those improvements. We learn by doing. We grow by doing. I hope people enjoy newsletter 1.0. I look forward to improving and trying new things with it to deliver more and more value. Stay tuned!
