issue 13 ??????

::the progression of TAL::

When I first started gathering my thoughts about what I wanted this authentic life to be months ago, I had a fear that no one would read anything.

That same fear has returned now many issues later: What if nobody cares? Where do I go from here?

I knew that there were people out there, wanting to make a change, but unsure how to carry it out. I knew there was a need. For the right audience, this newsletter could be a guide that did some good. The only problem was, there are a million self-help / business / psychology writers out there. Most of them with really, really quality content, written by ex c-suite leaders at Fortune 500 companies.

I knew I couldn't compete with that.

I wasn't going to get noticed in the never-ending sea of nonfiction newsletters or articles written by seasoned pros. I had to stand out by making TAL a bit...eccentric? Not too strange, of course. ??

The way I decided to go forward (time will tell if it was effective) was to simplify everything that had helped me make my transition from education to entrepreneurship. It had to be both accessible for people wanting to take the plunge as well as worthwhile for seasoned folks. I wanted to share stories, but at the same time, make the entire newsletter about the reader and their own journey. I also wanted to create a community where we could all share stories, resources, and support each other. (working on that)

No one should walk alone.

Think about the earlier issue - 'knowing yourself'. Incredibly easy to take tests, talk to your BFF, and look inward for a few minutes, right? I'm sure you can find a basic definition of who you are from doing that.

But it's a whole different ballgame when you're being deliberate with your practice of consciousness and self-reflection for weeks and months at a time, trying to get to your 'being' or 'core'. There are several layers of complexity to each of the principles that TAL touches on. I leave it to you to discover them, and then preferably, go help people with your insights.

My Call to Action

Three things:

Número Uno -

The most important result is to become a more complete version of yourself. Be someone who lives fearlessly, questions everything, doesn't back down from a challenge, and will not accept defeat. Become the type of person that keeps getting back up again and again. You are unstoppable.

I urge you to realize your potential by living these principles daily. They are in nowise a complete framework towards a guaranteed life of perfect happiness, but it is a start. You are going to dictate the rest because you are in control of what happens next in your story.

Harness the power of your impetus. Find what is driving you and don't let it out of your grasp for a second. Come to terms with the person you are. Acceptance is one of the most diffult tasks you can undertake, but it has to happen. Create a road map and checkpoints that bring joy into your life. Don't settle for what other people put in front of you. Go get what you want! Analyze your habits. Prune the regrettable things you do away from your tree (yourself) and create a new environment. Find a category of skills that you can master. Once you have established a working knowledge in a given area, branch out. Finally, present your product (you) in the most honest way possible to the world and sell it. Anyone can sell effectively because it's based on techniques, not personalities.

Número Dos -

Work with me.

Yes, that's right. I want to work with you and help you on your journey.

It doesn't matter the structure. Let's chat about your ideas. Come and share. Need sales? Need a designer? Need a coach to keep you honest? It's through real conversations that we find interesting and fun ways to collaborate. I want to meet and help as many people as possible.

That's my mission.

In the last month, I've had some of the most interesting conversations yet. I'm talking with business owners, investors, talent seekers, and executives who are moving and shaking to build new things.

If you have any interest in entrepreneurship, content creation (creative work), ghostwriting, startups, shifting careers, please send me a DM, an email and get the conversation going. If you want to talk, it just takes 15-20 minutes to see if there's anything tangible.

Número tres -

I'm going to take a lot of my writing over to https://morg.substack.com/.

This authentic life is going to spread its wings and start flying in other spaces. ??

On substack, I'm going to be expanding my horizons by doing short soundbites (podcasting) on startup / entrepreneur topics, writing books (for paid subscribers? ?? ), focusing on content marketing / creation tips and tricks, and going all in on finding avenues to help people transitioning into business or looking for ways to get their ideas off the ground.

I would love it if you would subscribe there. ??

If anything I've written has affected you in a postive way, I would ask you to sign up. Gets sent directly to your email. Painless.

If you feel like that would be a little overkill, I get it. No hard feelings. I really appreciate you spending the time here.

Final thoughts:

I sincerely hope that these 13 ish issues have helped. (Don't worry. More coming.)

You have what it takes. You have purpose. You have potential.

Don't lose sight of the amazing things you can accomplish. I'm rooting for you!

Let me know how I can help.

Gracias.
