Hii Coco! Thank you for writing this. Truly. I’m currently reading “Deep Work” by Cal Newport and you’re covered two topics … To not be afraid or steer away from Boredom and the second “the 80/20” rule which you’ve covered in this article. My follow up question is, (if you’re willing to share) What are your top 2-3 activities that you focus on most in terms of Substack / the ability to create a career for yourself that aligns with your interests and mission in life. I know it’s common for us to have 15-20 interests … but to really focus in on 2-3. I’m curious what yours are. This is such a great reference point. Thank you 🙏🏼 ♒️<3

Just left a comment with a ‘in good faith’ question about social following correlating also to paid success here on the sub subs.

Good advice, I think something to also factor in though is that you've had a built-in following, so do you think there's correlation or causation of social following helping to boost paid Substack subscriptions?

Thank you, Coco Mocoe! I love your suggestion to use Pinterest to grow on Substack. I've never heard this before!

I don't have a big social media following, so I'm going to try this Pinterest idea. (also, I love pinterest)

Truly appreciate your insights, which you share so generously.
