Patience is powerful.
Because victory often goes to the one willing to stick with something long enough to get it.
Now, on to this week’s ideas…
The Starting Five
1. How To Use A Newsletter To Get Clients
I’ve built a six-figure consulting business without doing any outreach to get clients. They’ve all come through my newsletter and in this post I explain how I made that happen.

I spend a lot of time thinking about my work and the people I serve.

My Final Words Of The Week
I got an email from a filmmaker who spent a decade making a documentary which recently got rejected from a bunch of festivals.
He was distraught and asked for advice.
I suggested he consider self-distributing the film and added this bit which applies to a lot more than just filmmakers:
“The world has changed and it’s no longer just about finding someone to say ‘yes’ to you — you don’t need permission to put your work into the world.”
Take control of your own destiny.
Have an interesting week!
Josh
