Your newsletter paid subscription and VIP videos and lessons are worth a lot more than the price.

It's one of the best paid subscription newsletters on Substack.

Awesome job!

There is for sure. Many writers don't realize this, some do and refuse to admit it and yet there are some who actually work to master the skill.

Yes there is no way around this. You have to work on yourself and become comfortable with the ask.

Your work has helped me out a great deal. I never would've been able to tap into your brilliance if you had not put an offer out there. Thank you for doing what you do, whatever the verb is :-)

Thank you so much, Mike! Means a lot! And yes, that's the truth - we'd never connect and you'd never get that help if I never offered.
