Highly recommend this Quest, especially as a VIP MEMBER. Her Substack education value more than pays for VIP. Less than that you won’t get everything you need to know. It’s nice to get her updated tools and perks without wondering about upgrading. Yana updates her quest regularly for paid and vip members. And her Ai quest- genius. Saves me hours in editing and content creation with Ai software tools. Love how she’s available with her 30 min 1:1s as well! Shes very honest and helpful. Her platform on substack is simply and all in one space for today’s new internet to stay ahead and not get left behind. -Liselle Kiss American Designer

Yana something bout you, trusting you to teach me, I need something to work.

Yana G.Y.'s avatar

Take your time, Gregory! And let me know if you need me

I signed up last night, on my way to work this morning but will start my quest today. Is there an easy way to get to the Quest?

Yana G.Y.'s avatar

Just follow the videos one by one :) And let me know if you need me in the chat / email.

Thank you Yana and I will

Hi Yana, I just joined and started the quest - I'm going through the videos but I don't see the links for the resources themselves (spreadsheet, contract with your future self etc) - am I missing something?

Yana G.Y.'s avatar

Hi Michaela, they are under each video and come only when you need them.

Wow, this is a LOT to take in 😅 so many links, strategies, and tools! Definitely feeling both inspired and slightly overwhelmed in the best way. Excited to dive in✨

Yana G.Y.'s avatar

I’m here for you :))

Thank you :) Let me know if you need me

This looks like something great that you put together here Miss Yana. I'm interested. Looks like a worthy investment.

Currently I'm posting on YouTube as well while trying to start my own business after helping someone else successfully build their business for 17 years and nothing to show for it.

I started Substack on a whim. I have been posting daily but I have been wondering lately how to possibly monetize soon.

I hope you are great. Take care

Yana G.Y.'s avatar

hi Judah, thank you so much! Yes, I agree - doing something for yourself is always the best investment and the feeling is great. There's no better time to start than now :)

Judah Rein | Health Crusader's avatar

Hi Yana, I agree. And more so when that thing you do for yourself involves self growth, and pursuing a passion that can possibly bring so much benefit to your life while helping others do the same. I do believe in myself but at the same time I don't know if I have what it takes to be a writer. I understand that we grow through the process of taking action but I'm not sure. We're you good at writing in the beginning? Was writing a passion for you?

Yana G.Y.'s avatar

Hi Judah, no I don’t think I was good at it. And it was never my passion, but once I started I kinda fell in love with it. For the first time ever, I could be myself entirely. And so I never stopped since then. I still think I’m not a good writer. I think what’s more important is to be yourself. Your people will find you.

Judah Rein | Health Crusader's avatar

That makes sense to me, thank you Yana! When you you first began your writing journey here on Substack...what did you write about? Did you stick to a theme? Was it just personal thoughts about reality day to day?

Side note: I had a major crush in 9th grade. Her name was Yana haha. I love your name.

Yana G.Y.'s avatar

Hi Judah, I came here from Medium, and I already had some idea what I’d be writing about - it was again writing online, plus my frustrations about Medium :D. People resonated.

I also brought some of my Medium audience here, which helped. Back then, we had the option to export subscribers. I only had 60, but it was still something.

P.S. Aww lovely, so my name gives you good memories :)

A lot of great golden nuggets Yana!

Yana G.Y.'s avatar

Thank you so much, Keanisha :)

Stella Chibuike-Ezike's avatar

Yana, you're the best and so so inspiring. You keep outdoing yourself. Can't wait to get inside the Quest! 💃

Yana G.Y.'s avatar

Thank you so much, Stella! Me too! Looking forward to it!!

I like the new approach. You've spent a tremendous amount of time creating the Quest, which is vastly different from all the schemes coming to my inbox on building an audience. It's the first 'substack growth' system I've seen that excites me. Eagerly awaiting the launch Yana!

Yana G.Y.'s avatar

Wow, that makes me proud I created it in that format. Thank you so much, Larry! I'm sure it's gonna be a great and exciting journey :) Looking forward to seeing you inside.

Looking forward to learn and implement, Yana!

Yana G.Y.'s avatar

Awesome!! Me to! Starts soon :))

Christina Piccoli's avatar

This looks amazing, Yana! I don't know how you have time to do everything you do.

Yana G.Y.'s avatar

Thank you, Christina! Sometimes I also wonder when will I manage to do it all, but somehow I manage :D

Raj Sidhu ✨'s avatar

This sounds exciting. Yana is a great person to be following on Sunstack. Does all this stuff to help Substackers grow. Thank you Yana 💥❤️

Yana G.Y.'s avatar

You’re very welcome, Raj! I’m committed to helping people grow!

Daniel P. Hirschi's avatar

No need to questioning THAT quest...! Looking forward to learn and implement. Great initiative.

Thanks Yana.

Yana G.Y.'s avatar
