I follow lots of newsletters on Substack - maybe too many, but there are some really good stuff out there.
As well as enjoying their writing and content I want learn from them. How do they create really good content that people recommend?
This is learning the fun way - there is no lose here.
Every Friday Substack does a Share Friday with their writers where you recommend other people’s newsletters.
My aim is to create something that people recommend! I’m not quite there yet, I know this newsletter is Work in Progress, and I’m not quite sure of it’s root or direction. It’s real time learning, learning out loud.
I always encourage my clients to start something and play with it, so I have take my own advice every now and then!
To do really good learning you have to be willing to go out of comfort zone, out of the familiar, into the awkward place, into the No Idea but Why Not space, into the OH MY G what am I doing?.
Learning is one of the best qualities we have as humans. When we learn we grow. You can’t grow unless you step outside Safe.
So here’s to all the mistakes, errors, fails and successes all in the name of learning!

(for those employed by others: when do you think of moving on? for me, ‘when I stop learning’ is a key stimulator, whilst recognising that I also have some share of the responsibility for that!)
