Hello friend.

How are you?

It’s February. Time really does fly, doesn’t it?

How was January for you?

January was a great month for me.

I stretched myself. I put structure in place for my life and business. I secured new clients. I launched a podcast. I maintained ‘routines for greatness’. I had some good relational wins at home and at work. It was good all around.

And you. I’m grateful for your attention. You are a kind reader from the internet who signed up to follow along my journey.

About that journey…

I sometimes feel guilty for being too broad. For not being streamlined enough in the value I want to share with you.

But then I realize that what piques your interest is not as much what I’m building as it is the journey itself, and this fun lad behind it all.

I flatter myself. But I do want to take the opportunity to clarify what this is going forward.

The Three Pillars

Being a multi-hyphenate is a blessing and can be a curse. A lot of the clarity I have experienced in the last few months has simply been about putting structure in place for all that I am.

I’m glad to share that structure with you now, especially as relates to this newsletter you signed up for. I now have three newsletter publications:

  • The Charm Within: This is my primary personal newsletter. The name “The Charm Within” is something I came up with as a teenager to describe my muse. Through this newsletter, I share my journey with you, including updates on my projects: the music, the podcast, the books and more. If you are receiving this email, this is the podcast you have signed up for.

  • Your Next Chapter: This is a newsletter dedicated to my coaching practice. As you likely know, if you found me through LinkedIn, I run a coaching business aimed at helping career misfits step boldly into their next career move. I will be writing specifically to my clients and prospects. If the subject material interests you, please subscribe here.

  • Honest Believer: As you may be aware, I am a person of faith. Honest Believer is a dedicated to sharing Christian commentary especially from my growth journey and perspective. I believe that’s what we all must strive to be—honest believers. I’ll explain more what that means to those interested. If that’s you, subscribe here.

Full disclosure:

I may have, based on my specific knowledge of you, already placed you on some of the other lists. You may not need to bother subscribing to them.

I also may not have done that—especially if you came here from LinkedIn.

If you want to reply and let me know what content interests you, that would be a great way for me to ensure I send only what you want.

You can reply with 1, 2, 3 or just say The Works, which means all three!

Feel free to update me with your preferences as time goes on, or as you receive emails from me.

That’s all for now, dear reader.

Structure precedes scale. I hope this inspires you to put some structure to your goals.

I will try to maintain a weekly cadence going forward. I may also email twice a week, if that’s alright with you. I enjoy writing to you, and I do have lots to share.

Until then, let’s win together.

Yours truly,
Taiwo.

PPS: to be sure we stay connected and my emails don’t end up in your junk folder, here are two things I’d highly appreciate:

- Please mark this email as “Not spam”

- Respond—let me know what you think

Either of these would help the mail server know you do know me, and gave me permission to reach out.

Thank you!
