Last week, I outlined what I think are the big themes and trends that should be at the forefronts of our minds over the coming year when making plans. I’m sure there are things missing - not the least the bleedingly obvious, that is, getting commissions or production financing - however I’ve tried to focus on those bigger underlying strategic shifts.

This is the second post of two, where I’m framing ways in which to respond to those big strategic challenges - really about mindset and considerations, rather than specific solutions. So more of a way of approaching these challenges to decide where to invest your energies.

As mentioned last week, how to manage holidays and downtime is a regular theme amongst Substackers who are single operators like me. My challenge in planning for this summer was how to ensure I’m delivering what paid subscribers are expecting, while also giving myself a break to recharge with my family. So I’ve done two posts to give you food for thought as you plan for the future while I take a holiday.

The purpose of these two posts is to try to condense everything down to a crib sheet - sort of ‘if you don’t read anything else, then read this’. And when I say crib sheet, I have to fess up that each one is 6,000 words long…

So if you want these summaries of what you need to know, then please do take out a subscription.
