This is the ONE thing holding you back...
Admit it, work through it, defeat it.
Hey friends,
This weeks newsletter is a little different.
The more newsletters I consume, the more I feel like the best ones feel simple. Almost like a diary entry. An insight into my brain about what I’m thinking about right NOW.
So, following that formula I’m treating this newsletter like a letter to myself.
Collating my thoughts, feelings and learnings from the week.
Plus, the old layout was far too long.
Ain’t nobody got time for that (me included).
Let’s go.
Look, I’m going to be brutally honest with you this week.
There’s just one thing standing between you and everything you say you want:
Your dream job.
Your promotion.
Your dream business.
Your dream life.
And that thing?
It’s not a lack of time, or talent or even strategy (although this is essential!).
It’s you.
It’s not your fault. Your brain is just doing it’s job and keeping you safe.
But growth doesn’t live where it feels safe…
Growth doesn’t happen by feeling comfortable.
Unfortunately, it lives on the other side of cringe.
This isn’t about manifestation or visualisation or whatever you want to call it (no shade). It’s about shifting your mindset from self-protection → self-trust.
That starts with:
Admitting what you actually want (the more delulu the better)
Believing you are capable of achieving it
Making a plan (even if it's a messy one)
Breaking that plan into tiny, doable steps
Showing up every day working towards the goal
This is exactly why most people never post on LinkedIn.
The scroll.
They sometimes like a post.
Ever-so-occasionally they leave a comment.
Most people are lurkers rather than creators because being visible feels vulnerable.
But it’s also how you remain unrecognisable.
Yes posting will feel cringe at first. Everything new does.
But you have to climb Cringe Mountain to get to the Land of Cool.

That awkward little climb you’ve been avoiding?
It’s the path to future cooler, more successful you.
So, start climbing.
I’ll see you at the top.
P.S. If you’re ready to become visible, start posting and build your dream life (like I did!), I’ll audit your profile, provide you with strategy ideas and roast a couple of posts if you have them in a personalised Loom video. The price is just $124. Grab it here.
P.P.S. The price won’t stay that low for long…
Enjoying this newsletter but not subscribed? What are you waiting for…
There you have it, my new and hopefully improved (?!!) newsletter.
Remember, I love honest feedback, so let me know if you preferred this format or if you want the old newsletter back.
Either way I’ll be back next week.
All my love,
Mischa xxx
