I love this. I know it is important to people, but I do hate all those posts celebrating xxx new subscribers, or totals, even those who are new and asking for people to subscribe. People will find their tribe, and I would much rather my tribe were small but mighty, than numerous and meaningless. Keep going and thank you 😎👍
Thank you for reading, Helen! Each their tribe indeed 🙌🏻 I like to celebrate some milestones as well, but when it becomes the pure focus, the fun goes away!
I like your "new view"! And getting a Moccamaster ... wow! As a coffee snob, everyone I know raves about its brew process and considers it one of the best brews in the world 🙌🏻
THIS!!! Thank you for saying this. After over 40 weeks of writing my history Travel newsletter I just stopped. I couldn’t face it anymore because I felt like I wasn’t getting any recognition for it (even though it gave me joy) because, you know, I wanted to earn a living writing and no one on my list became a paid subscriber, even though I’d get amazing feedback on how much they loved what I was writing. It felt like failure so I quit! Lol
But I miss it and am just starting to feel like I need to start again.
Ooh I get you Michelle! Getting subscribers is one thing, but paid subscribers is a whole other thing!! Really, not easy!!
You should start again, definitely if you notice you miss it, listen to that inner voice 🧡 but maybe not focus on the paid subs 😊 (easier said then done... I know!)
Oh Marie, I enjoyed reading this post a lot and to me, you are still writing about building an online business - from all aspects of life, not matter how slowly this takes. I know people working on building their dream house for more than 8 years now.
Just keep going and I am super curious about the video content you will do. And can I just say again how cute this picture of Lola and you is?
Welcome back and congratulations on all the personal growth! I've had a similar couple of months that were completely out of whack while my subconscious was doing its thing. I didn't have the same dramatic start to my 'funk', but I definitely know the feeling of needing to re-evaluate what matters and how you're pursuing it.
It's awesome that you stuck with it and are getting your excitement back!
Yes a 'funk' is the right word, and then it's so important to follow your subconscious nudges. But not always easy! Hope you are getting slowly out of your funk as well? I've noticed (even without the dramatic start of my funk) that we go through our own seasons... ups and downs are natural.

PS: I think I’d like a new coffee machine too!
Your words and honest thoughts are resonating! Feels very connected with you,
That’s the power of words! Keep writing as your heart wishes to❤️
Thank you 🧡🙏🏻
What counts is that you enjoy the process. No point writing about stuff that you don't enjoy yourself, no matter how many subscribers it'll get you.
Exactly this 🙌🏻 thank you Sophie 🧡
Just keep going where the wind blows you with your writing. ;)
And in general.
Will do Alexis 🧡🧡

You’re right! Thanks
Thank you for the reminder to focus on the journey and not the numbers, Marie. It's something we all should hear every once in a while.
You are very welcome Rasmus! Thank you for reading 🧡

Super curious about the video content myself 🤣 let's see where it goes!
And you are so right Fabienne, it's about the long game and enjoying the journey 🧡 hope you are enjoying Thailand!!
