Since starting this course, my Substack publication has completely turned around. Before, I was writing decent content and would get genuinely good feedback from several of my subscribers. But there was no framework for my publication. I thought I had a target audience; but honestly, I wasn't writing to them. Because I wasn't teaching them anything...simply giving good stories. In any event, what really helped me was defining my 3 long-term goals from Module 1, which in turn, helped me actually anchor my publication so that all of my writing points to the same end goal every single week. All that to say, I sold my first e-book today which is the first product of this new framework! And actually, it was an e-book that I was giving away as a freebie on my Gumroad page. My subscriber still gave a $20 offering even though it was free! He commented on my latest article about how excited he was that I was taking my publication in this new direction and how much of a blessing he thought it would be for his mom. He asked which of my 2 freebies would be best for her since he didn't want to overload her with a ton of reading. I told him which one and why, and he purchased it right then!

Today something pretty crazy happened to me. One of my subscribers wrote thsi comment under one of my posts and left me speechless. I find it to be incredibly touching and motivating so was thinking that it would be a great time to share it here and see who else has had great feedback from their audience recently, or has achieved something important to them! Let's all share our recent wins!

Thanks for this William. I've heard of time-blocking before, and even tried it in the past, but it didn't work. But I really like the way you frame it in Module 1, by first naming the required things you have to do (like work and sleep!). I'm on my second day of trying it, and it's going really well. I'm surprised. Tasks that I didn't have time for in the past, I actually have time for now.

Thank you for everyone supporting, responding and engaging with the community! More is coming in the next month! But now I need your help: As I tester I would love to know your overall appreciation of the classroom. Was it clear? Was is useful? Was it fun? Do you see yourself long-term in this with more writers? I would love to know your detailed opinion on the lessons, Live, Post. What would you remove/add. Was something not clear? Every recommendation is taken seriously. Finally, I would love to know if you got closer to your goals, if yes, what was the most useful? If not, is it the fault of the content or anything else and how could we fix it? Thanks you so much for being a tester. I appreciate you!😄

Big win today! BeBetter just reached 1,5k subscribers for real!!!!! This is a huge milestone for me! Thank you for the support of everyone. Let’s continue the journey!💪
