TLDR: I was pleasantly surprised and thrilled to be joined by Rocky. Don't miss the episode and make sure to subscribe to his amazing YouTube channel!

Today, I want to speak more about the aforementioned guest. Trust me when I say that it was a "dream come true." As someone who has been interested in entrepreneurship, business and other related areas, I've been a loyal follower of Rocky for a long time. Since I discovered his YouTube channel years ago, I've been enjoying his videos, ranging from the most inspiring biographies to the biggest frauds in the business world. But it's not just captivating stories. His content reflects the well-known saying "quality over quantity." Deep research, beautiful visuals, engaging storytelling... just check his channel yourself to believe me.

I reached out to Rocky to see if he was interested in joining me but didn't expect much. To be honest, I wasn't even expecting a reply. To my surprise, we ended up recording an absolutely amazing episode. You can see for yourself how excited I was during the recording, haha. It was another "global" recording as Rocky is based in New York, USA.

While my reach and following probably won't help him that much (check out his subscribers on YouTube!), I still hope you'll check out his content and give him a subscribe. Not just because he kindly joined me, but because he really deserves it and I believe you'll enjoy his content. Enough of pouring my heart out here. Stay tuned for when the episode is out, make sure to free up some time and enjoy as much as you can!

Hack of the week:

Track Your Progress: Stay Motivated and Celebrate Your Wins

There's something incredibly motivating about seeing your progress unfold. Tracking your progress allows you to visualize your achievements and identify areas for improvement. This fosters a sense of accomplishment and keeps you motivated as you push towards your goals.

There are countless ways to track progress. You can use to-do lists, project management tools, or even simple habit trackers. The key is to find a system that works for you and that allows you to easily monitor your progress over time.

Regularly reviewing your progress allows you to celebrate your wins, no matter how small. This positive reinforcement keeps you motivated and focused on your long-term goals. Tracking also helps you identify areas where you might be struggling. By analyzing your progress, you can adjust your approach or seek additional support to overcome challenges.

Remember, progress doesn't always happen in a straight line. Use tracking as a tool to stay accountable, motivated and celebrate your achievements along the way.
