Hey there — happy Saturday! 😄
Welcome to the 19th issue of The Weekend Whirlwind. As a reminder, TWW is a quick weekend email with a few thoughts or articles or tips to help you out. Or just stuff to share, which may not even be business related. Short, sweet, and to the point. 😉
THINGS FOR THIS WEEKEND’S WHIRLWIND:
THING 1 — Helpful link: Want some ideas on how to build your email list? These 10 strategies can help.
THING 2 — Random fun fact: The real name for a hashtag (aka number sign aka pound sign) is “octothorpe”. The ‘octo’ refers to the eight points in the symbol, but according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary the ‘thorpe’ part is a mystery, although there are a few unsubstantiated claims.
THING 3 — TWW tips: Another tip for overcoming perfectionism — Set Realistic Goals. Unattainable goals can fuel your perfectionism. Use the SMART framework for setting your objectives: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.
THING 4 — Freebie of the week: from Trish at Publish for Prosperity, get her free Growth Mindset Articles & Printables Pack.
THING 5 — TWW Wisdom: Many fail to finish, but many more fail to start. The hardest work in any work is to start. You can’t finish until you start, so get good at starting.
That’s it for this time — let me know what you think, and have a great weekend! 😎
