How to run a private members club

Blink and it’s October. Welcome to The Stanza and happy Q4.

If you’re an entrepreneur preparing for a fundraise, I would love to help. Please reply to this email introducing yourself and your company.

Q4 Goals Experiment

Once you’ve set your goals for the remainder of the year, try a daily practice called “scripting” to rewire your subconscious to truly believe you deserve what you want:

“I’m grateful for [my living situation].

I’m grateful for [my thriving career / businesss]

I’m grateful for [my relationships and community]”…

And so forth. Feel free to customize as needed. Then, you’ll write:

“I’m grateful for the [three] life changing miracles that I experienced in 2023. I love myself, I trust myself, and I am worthy of these things”

Write this in a notebook every day - make it a habit. Come back to this email in January and see what has come to fruition.

As an accountability partner, you’ll be seeing a monthly check-in in this section of The Stanza’s weekly digest for the remainder of the year.
