G'day G'day friends,

One of my 1:1 client, Mitchell (name changed) was feeling low.

He had a slower start to the year than he expected.

As an entrepreneur, this feeling can be demoralizing.

I’ve been here many times myself.

Here’s the number #1 to overcome this feeling fast is asking yourself:

12 months ago, where was I and what was I doing?

If you’re a Type-A overachiever, I can almost guarantee you’ve grown in the last 365 days.

People overestimate what they can do in a month.

But people underestimate what they an do in a year.

Rome wasn’t built in a month.

Meaningful outcomes take time to achieve.

• The content I create today is to attract clients next year.
• The systems I create today is to help me scale next year.
• The conversations I have today is to help me build my brand next year.

Mitchell looked at his revenue from last year.

And then he messaged me:

From this time last year, he has experienced compounded growth of 18-20%.

For his type of service-based business in a high-churn industry, this is amazing.

Remember: Solopreneurship is a marathon.

On any individual day, progress will feel invisible.

You might even feel like you’re going backwards.

You need to build your own feedback loops.

Take the yearly perspective pill.

Let’s Launch Together,

Michael “get some perspective” Lim.
