I'm a few days new to Substack and really appreciate these unexpected tips - thank you! I signed up for your training on Tuesday and am trying to figure out how to make that time work. If I can't make it, will there be a replay?

I really enjoyed reading this Andy! You have so much wisdom around this that really integrates our sensitive souls as an essential part to consider, just as much as everything else. I especially LOVED and resonated with this part:

"Miss a week. Post twice in one day because you had feelings. Write something short when you have nothing left. The compounding effect of just continuing is more powerful than any posting schedule"

Although I haven't missed a week (which is a crazy achievement for me, something I've never been able to do is be consistent!) I have posted twice in a day when I was feeling passionate, and written short things because I was depleted.

What you said about the compounding effect of letting yourself be messy without stopping altogether is 100% absolutely true. I've felt it. It builds up a sense of grounding & rootedness within yourself that makes it feel like you can trust yourself and show up and perfection isn't necessary.

Love what you gently yet powerfully put into the world, as always 🩷

ahhh thank you so much Bailey!! Appreciate your comment :) I think the more I speak to people around ‘consistency’ it seems to be a bit of an urban legend. Something people speak about a lot, but never really seem to think they experience in reality :P

Of course!! I wonder if that's because consistency is associate with a feeling rather than an act. Like maybe people think that to be consistent means to experience something the same way over and over and over again - rather than, in my experience, a practice of doing something "consistently" but that might feel different each time

The last one stands out most. Applies to life, too... Build a foundation unshakeable and the rest follows 🌟

These tips are wonderful. Thanks for these, Andy! A bit surprised by some, especially this one - 2. Be consistently inconsistent. I've been trying to space my posts out based on other things I've read about suggested cadence. Also, I already launched paid without having the offer ready. Need to turn that off until I get my stuff in order. 😉

if you can be consistent thats great. But many people struggle with consistency and just ‘give up’. What I am saying is if you cant be consistent, then just keep showing up inconsistently over a long period of time to make up for it ;)

Ah yes, that makes sense. Thanks! ✨
