โœจ Whatโ€™s on my agenda today as a bestselling author (yes, weโ€™re literally #1 on Amazon ๐Ÿ†) + freelance writer one day after the book launch of my new book Write for Money and Power โœจ

โฐ 7:00 a.m. โ€” Woke up against my will. Wanted to sleep in. Brain said nope. Made much-needed coffee. Contemplated replacing blood with caffeine for Q1.

๐Ÿ“ฌ 7:30 a.m. โ€” Sent a flood of thank-you emails. Guests, readers, launch crew โ€” if you were there yesterday for the book launch, just know I love you more than caffeine. (Which is a lot!)

๐Ÿ“Š 9:00 a.m. โ€” Started deep-diving Amazon data. Bookโ€™s trending. Charts are charting. Numbers are numerically impressive. (Thank you for your support so far!! Launch weeks are always so critical.)

๐Ÿ“ž 10:00 a.m. โ€” 1:1 Substack audit with a great writer from the 6 Week Substack Sprint workshop Iโ€™m running now.

๐Ÿ“ž 11:00 a.m. โ€” Call with my publicist Haley โ€” debriefed the launch, plotted secret projects.

๐Ÿฅ— 12:00 p.m. โ€” Lunch break. My body: โ€œPlease stop living on adrenaline and inbox refreshes.โ€

๐Ÿ“ž 1:30 p.m. โ€” Another meeting!

๐ŸŒฒ 3:00 p.m. โ€” Presidio walk planned. Time to go touch some trees and remember the sky exists.

๐Ÿฝ 5:00 p.m. โ€” Dinner break to eat something green.

๐ŸŽค 6:00 p.m. โ€” Teaching Week 3 of the Substack Sprint: the Growth Engine! Tonight is all about pulling in new readers without selling your soul.

๐Ÿ›‘ 7:00 p.m. โ€” Shutting the laptop. Wrapping the day. Possibly falling face-first into couch.

๐Ÿ“š Still reeling from yesterdayโ€™s 12-hour launch marathon. THANK YOU for showing up, sharing, leaving Amazon + Goodreads reviews, and making Write for Money and Power debut like this.

Iโ€™m hearing from so many of you that the guest interviews blew you away โ€” and same. It was magic.

More to come. But for nowโ€ฆ going to go stare at a tree and remember how to blink.

Howโ€™s your week shaping up?
