7 Days Left Until the End

📚 Hey, good morning! Time to win.

I have 7 days left.

Just 7 days and one hell of a lot of work left to complete if I want to get anywhere CLOSE to achieving some of my April Goals.

At this point, I’m definitely not going to achieve all of them.

I mean, 129 Medium articles in 7 days? Read 13 more books? Contact 253 more authors about marketing their books on my Instagram?

I could spend all 7 days just working on ONE of those things and still not make it. But here’s what’s going to happen.

I’m going to get as close as I possibly can.

I’m not just going to collapse and give up because I’ve taken on more than I could realistically accomplish in one month.

I’m not going to fold. Where other people would take the rest of the month and coast, I’m going to accelerate.

And, doing so, I’ll probably learn more than they would about what I’m really capable of and what I should differently (and better) next month.

I still have 7 days. And I’m going to stretch every single one of them with all my strength. You still have 7 days too. Don’t waste them. Double down.

Note: I’ll update follower counts once per week, since it’s such a waste of time to go through all of them every single night. Also, Threads annoyingly doesn’t give exact numbers. Oh well.

As always, at the bottom of this email I’ll lay out everything I did today to move closer to my Ultimate Vision. This is to keep me accountable and to show you that I’m working as hard as I’m encouraging you to work…

It’s no secret that I’m more than a little bit frustrated with what I’ve been able to achieve this month, even though objectively it’s been quite a bit.

I’ve been “working hard” this whole month, but I still see inefficiencies EVERYWHERE. Part of that also has to do with some personal stuff that has been weighing on me these last few months, and which finally is coming to some sort of conclusion.

More on that later.

But I need to do better. Especially as my platform’s grown exponentially and more people are relying on me to “make it” and to help THEM make it too.

I don’t take that responsibility lightly and I’ve always wanted to be one of the “good guys” of social media. Hopefully I’ve helped you at least somewhat since you’ve been following me.

Because that’s sure as hell been my intention.

But now, I’m going to bed!

Until next time…happy reading!

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
