I learned more from cheddar than from coaches
|
Hey Reader, Yesterday I caught myself doing it again. Fridge open. Cold air in my face. Staring at cheese like it holds the meaning of life. Zero decisions made. Five stupid seconds of paralysis. And it hit me: This is how most people run their business. Freeze. Think. Overthink. Wait for the “right moment.” (Spoiler: there isn’t one) It snapped me out of it because of this: Bad choices are recoverable. Hesitation? Not so much. Because the only reason I gained 10K followers and $120K in three months wasn’t luck. It wasn’t strategy. It wasn’t perfect planning. It was speed. (Not THAT kind of speed, calm down.) I move fast. Almost uncomfortably fast. Three months ago: - Quit my job with nothing lined up While most people compare options, I’ve already: - tested 3 versions Not because I’m brilliant. Because I refuse to stall. Wrong decisions? Data. Right decisions? Also data. People act like impulsivity is a flaw. Please. The cost of a wrong move is tiny. Some time. Maybe money. But you get direction. The cost of not moving? Massive. - You freeze. If you want a way out of that loop, the LinkedIn playbook is the exact system I used to move fast, adjust faster and grow like hell. Same one that turned three chaotic months into 10K followers and $120K. Grab it here: https://hustling-mover-9194.kit.com/products/pb Don’t be led by indecision. This playbook goes into the vault after today. Standing still is the only real mistake. Magali |

Hey Reader, Six years ago, I stood backstage at TEDx Antwerp, Googling "how to not throw up before a speech." I wasn't ready. My slides were mediocre. My delivery was shaky. I had no speaker reel, no one-sheet, no agent. But I was there. And over the next few years, I kept being there. United Nations. Deloitte. Stages I had no business standing on. awkward turtle alert I didn't get booked because I was a good speaker. I got booked in spite of it. What I had instead of skill: a LinkedIn...
Hey Reader, I was eight, lying on my stomach, writing my Christmas list in green marker. Page one: a pony.Page two: a castle.Page three: roller skates, a trampoline, and "maybe a little brother but only if he's nice." I sealed it with a sticker and total confidence. This year, my wishlist fit on a Post-it: Clients who pay A LinkedIn that doesn't make me cringe. Maybe one podcast where they pronounce my name right. Santa overdelivered. Just kidding. I did. And I used a system that took my...
Hey Reader. I've been meaning to tell you this story. It starts in July. On my bedroom floor. Laptop open. LinkedIn staring back at me. Cursor blinking. I'd just walked away from a startup I paused my entire business for. My bank account had maybe a month left in it. My confidence had less. It was the kind of moment that makes people disappear. Go quiet. Rebuild in private. I almost did that. Almost. Instead, I walked straight into the mess and showed up anyway. I didn’t have a plan or a...
