This week was chaotic! We’re moving to our first apartment (yey 🥳), but that comes with LOTS of things to do: packing boxes, installing furniture, dealing with workers… the whole game.
But even in the mess, I still made progress towards my main goals.
And that’s the real game: showing up, no matter what!
$1M Weekly Update
Here’s what happened since the last update:
Bought 2 new domains - yeah, I’m turning into that type of person 😬
Soft-launched the app I was talking about a few issues ago. I wanted to get more feedback on the functionalities from beta testers before announcing it publicly
Continued working on my 3-year master plan - yes, it used to be a 2-year plan, but I realized that I needed more time! 😅
On the revenue side, I had a big win: Made another $10k from a sponsorship deal! 🥳

With this $10k payment, sponsorships have become my biggest income stream since I started documenting the $1M journey. I might be into something here. 🤔
Also, sold 3 more consulting calls for $890 each and generated extra revenue from my course ($532) and X ads ($262).
The total so far on my road to $1M is now $169,408.
My $1M Grid
There’s a good chance I end the year at $180k, but let’s see how that goes. 👀
I’m also happy that my recent issues did so well - especially the one about not wanting to build a unicorn company and the one breaking down how I grew to 199k followers on X.
Actionable Tip
If you’re overwhelmed, stop trying to build everything at once.
Pick ONE small project, one clear outcome, one target audience, and focus on that.
Momentum beats short-term ambition every time.
This is the main reason I keep writing a new issue for this newsletter every week.
Creator Spotlight
Rob Hallam is one of my favourite examples of showing up until the world notices.
Years of making videos nobody watched.
Years of projects that made $0.
And then something clicked.
Today, his SaaS SuperX makes $13.5k MRR, he travels the world, and people love his work.
This is a reminder that it can take years, but then it happens all at once.
Check out this post of him going viral, and give him a follow while you’re there.
Conclusion
Even during one of the busiest weeks of my year, I still moved the needle.
The journey won’t always look clean, but if you show up consistently, the results compound over time.
Keep showing up!
