Five Months on Substack

Newsletter Issue #049 | What's the point?

When I published my first Newsletter on Substack, "Invisible among 5 billion people," in July, I had zero followers and subscribers. I wondered if it would stay that way. Will I be visible to "my people?" When I say "my people," I mean people interested in the same topics as me.

Today, five months later, I have 616 subscribers and 2,347 followers. However, I still feel invisible. When I see a dozen likes and a couple of comments under the text, I realize it's not a matter of numbers.

The essence is in the people, exchanging, growing together, relationships.

Occasionally, I see on the notes that some people suggest exchanging subscriptions. This is a beautiful delusion, but it is essentially nothing—statistics.

Several people have written to me and told me I achieved a good result. However, numbers are not the result. A relationship is a result.

What I feel successful at with Substack is making a few wonderful contacts that have grown into close friendships full of mutual support. It is priceless!

Furthermore, I read many quality texts from different fields with diverse perspectives on Substack, which made me richer.

Finally, I put off turning the "Living the Lead Role: Transforming Time Pressure into Joyful Living" method into a course for years.

Substack gave me the incentive to do it, and yes, I'm really satisfied with how I did it.

If you are interested in how I designed it, you can look it up here:

I also created the five-day mini-FREE course "What is stopping us from living the life of our dreams?"

This miniature five-day course is a series of five written emails about my journey to the solution. Here are the topics:

1. Why Time Management Didn't Work for Me?

2. Where is the Solution to Feeling Overwhelmed?

3. What is Stopping Us from Living the Life of Our Dreams?

4. Why Are We Not Already Living the Starring Role in the Movie My Life?

5. Why do Expectations Block Results?

You could already read most of these texts in my previous Newsletters, and for those who haven't, you can SUBSCRIBE for FREE and get your five-day mini-FREE course in your mailbox. Don't worry; you can always unsubscribe!

I will continue to publish Friday Newsletters on topics that interest me. If those topics, my worldview, and my writing style resonate with you, I would like you to stay with me.

I will happily give paid subscribers the space to present themselves and support them through the professional area I cover.

I hope we will be friends for a long time!
