Hello my friends,
It has been 3 weeks that the year has started and it has been three weeks that I’m supposed to write this newsletter. But let’s say that it has not been my main focus and I’m sorry for that.
That being said, I have a lot of things to share with you. So let’s get it started.
A quick update on 2023 : goals and what is going on
What would be a first newsletter of the year if I was not sharing my goals for this year?
On what am I working
I’m not completely set about the goals I want to have for the whole year. But here are a few things I want to accomplish:
Pass my driver’s license before end of Q2
Open The Wine Galaxy in the US and sell the first unit there before end of Q1
Do stretching for more than 100 hours during the year
Do a 3 days mountain hiking
Run a marathon (one more) in 3h45mn and be in good shape
Reach 10k subscribers on Youtube
Build and sell TheWeekEndLover (more on that just after)
Make TOLV a success.
These are juste my goals. I am setting up a system to make progress on these. I’ll share it with you later.
My try at builing a paid newsletter
A few weeks ago, I came accross a newsletter with a simple concept: sending every thursday, 5 things you can do in a specific city. They were generating a good revenue and were up for sale.
The opportunity is obvious.
So I created TheWeekEndLover. The concept is super simple: I send every Thursday morning 5 things you can do during the week-end in Paris.
It is only the beginning and I document everything here (stats and figures included).
My goal is to either monetize it before the end of Q2 and / or sell it by the end of the year and document this process. I’ll keep you posted.
Making TOLV a success
This is my main professional goal. This year is going to be full of challenges as we start ramping up our production and prepare the company for scaling.
That said, you can invest in our company right here. If you always wanted to join us, it might be the last time you have this opportunity.
