the dream?

feel ALIVE

Hellooooo!

My friends keep saying I’m too ambitious (in a good way). I didn’t agree, but I think I should accept this side of me.

PS. I didn’t have a lot to share this week, so trying out this new template!

The dream is to be financially independent, cause life has taught me the hard way that 99% of your problems do get solved by money.

Grateful I can earn from work I love.

The Plan

Recap

I know I keep talking about the plan, yet I still haven’t figured stuff out. I have accepted the fact that life is just lots and lots of trial and error, and you just keep doing that again and again.

Think new ideas, try them out.

Think new direction, try that out.

Think new possibilities, try it out.

If you feel something has even 1% possibility of becoming something big, go for it!
And even if that 1% is not there, still go for it.

You will surely stumble upon something that has the potential you were first seeking.

The Projects

This is what I have been UP TO!

Vibe Reading

I may have a thing for newsletters (as reads my LinkedIn bio), but I guess it gives me the best of both worlds. Blogs seemed too long, and LinkedIn posts were not enough. Newsletters are the perfect middle ground.

If you are a reader or looking to start reading, you might wanna check this one out :)

Fully Content

Most of you know this by now, I have a B2B newsletter, which, after some redirection, has found its calling. It is basically me sharing tips/ my process/progress/approach to writing B2B content.

If you are getting started with B2B writing/looking for mentorship, you will find it helpful too!

Neatprompts

This is a new client I’m working with. This week marks 2 weeks. I am their Lead Newsletter Writer, handling daily digests—which means daily work. We also publish on weekends.

We have seen some very good progress this month, and I’ll be soon contributing strategically to the issues.

Social Media

This month has been strange. I began determined not to post any social content. After a week, I worried the silence might hurt my personal brand, so I started posting again.

Now I’m leaning toward another social break to focus on work. LinkedIn is still quiet, but I’m tweeting a lot.

Random Cents of Wisdom

a conversation with POOKIES

Social Detox also led to removing WhatsApp. It has been quiet and peaceful tbh. I work with my friends on DWS, and still share work and personal updates. I am just not available on WhatsApp.

Last evening, we went on a call and discussed everything under the sun. The ~6 hrs meeting is not work. Only heart-to-heart conversation with people who have made me what I am today :)

No Nazar to pookies please, we have had our fair share of fights in these 2 months

Other Updates

the not-so-public SIDE

I have been toying around with GPT Pro to make a custom GPT that acts like my co-founder and questions everything I do. I can eat its head as much as I want, and it won’t get tired and say, “You only walk about work!”

☕ Coffee Frother

I got a frother and have been drinking a lot of cold coffee to beat this heat.

🛋 Lots of Books

My mom said if one more book comes, I’ll give it back to the delivery guy!

🖼 Builder Mindset

I’m slowly but surely leaning into a builder mindset. This idea is there, execution soon!

A Final Note

Oh! This was fun to write. I just filled the templated slots with whatever came to my mind.

Will restore the regular yapping updates next week. Think of this as another one of my experiments. Let me know what you thought about it.

As always,

I’ll see you next Friday!

Love,
Nikita

PS. I just realised there are no gifs, lol. Forgive me, I am figuring myself out.
