Welcome!

When I started writing this newsletter 45 weeks ago I was very excited.

A place for me to be creative and help you focus on having the best 7 days possible in the upcoming week.

To begin with I was spending a good half a day on creating it.

Overthinking it, Perfecting it.

Re-writing it.

I quickly realised that wasn’t sustainable on my weekends 😅 and I got it down to an hour.

Some weeks, it has felt effortless.

Other weeks, I have struggled to come up with ideas and panicked I’d sent out a load of rubbish.

BUT

Week after week, I have kept writing

and overall I’ve gotten into my flow

I’ve never considered myself a copywriter

But writing as ‘Emma’ and creating my voice is getting easier bit by bit.

And now, 45 hours later, the process feels more natural every week

Am I an expert copywriter?

No

Am I good enough and improving every week?

Yes!

So this week I’m going to share with you exactly why this is the week you should get started. ✨ 

So lets dig in x

"You don’t need more time.

You just need to decide." 

Seth Godin

R- The Power of Reps:

I don’t believe that progress occurs in one big massive effort.

It’s the small weekly efforts that compound.

Which is actually so motivating!

You don’t have to be the expert to move forwards.

It doesn’t have to be some overwhelming, exhausting effort.

It’s the power and consistency of the daily and weekly reps that compound.

It’s not the talent that wins - it’s the consistency of how we apply ourselves.

And the good news is - we can all do that 😄 💪 

A - Alex Hormozi’s 20 hour rule

Have you ever heard Alex Hormozi talk about how you can become ‘good enough’ at something with 20 hours of focussed practice?

An hour a day for 4 weeks.

But most people never start as they overthink, delay and wait for the right time.

The difference between those who succeed and those who don’t?

Starting now 🙂 

The first attempt will feel clunky. The second might not be much better.

But after just 20 hours? You’ll already be ahead of 90% of people who never started 🚀 

W - Win The Week

Whether it’s personal, business, a passion project or a hobby…

Plan in an hour this week to get started.

Visualise how it will feel this Friday.

That you got started.

You’ve already got two hours in the bag.

You’ve won the week.

Set a timer even for 30 minutes to work on it,

This week you’re not going to wait for the perfect moment to start.

You’re going to decide on the one thing and you’ll get the reps in this week.

Just start and let the progress build.

You don’t need another year of overthinking.

And of half finished good ideas.

You just need the next hour of action.

Maybe an hour today?

Go win the week

Ai Tool of the Week 🤖 

Ok so welcome to a new, overdue feature of Win The Week!

For far too long last year I looked at Ai from afar like it was a mystical creature that only professors and tech geeks would understand.

I also felt very overwhelmed. There were so many Ai things out there that, quite frankly, I didn’t know where to start.

But I did get started.

And I’m aware that lots of people will be feeling exactly the same way.

They know they should be using it. Implementing it.

Doing something with it 😅 

But what?

So I’m going to dedicate a segment to it! 🥳 

and don’t get me wrong - some of it you’re probably already using and some of it..well you won’t!

So lets start putting in the reps and get started…..

🤖 Fireflies.ai 🤖 

This has been an absolute life saver for me in my ability to be fully present in video calls without having to take notes.

Making sure I never miss any talking points and being able to follow up super quick after a call.

It automates all of your meeting notes. It also summarises them and creates the most lovely ‘Actions’ list at the end! So no one ever escapes again from doing what they promised!

It also has lots of integrations and Ive been using the ‘sales coach’ to run through all of our Sales Discovery calls to improve and train my team!

Fireflies is my number one to recommend first.

You can check it out here: ➡️ Fireflies.ai

Happy Testing! and I’ll share my second favourite next week! x

On Focus on the Fun Stuff this week 🎙️ 

A new episode of Focus on the Fun Stuff has just dropped, and this one’s a shorty (but a goodie).

If you’ve ever felt like you’re jumping from project to project, or you’re guilty of yearning to crack on with the next big thing (before you’ve even completed the last big thing…) – this episode is for you.

It’ll help you understand when to crack on and when to take stock, and arm you with a more mindful , happier route to real growth.

Start the reps this week.

It’s never too late and there’s never a right time.

I’m cheering you on

Em
