Today's newsletter will be short.
Yesterday, I wrote the first draft of it, and I was just about to edit it, but I can’t.
I'm at my dad's place, and for some reason, Notion wouldn't load my draft.
After waiting to see if it would load... nothing.
So, here I am, at 00:53, a bit tired, but inspired, writing a short newsletter to share a a deep realization with you.
I'll get straight to the point; there will be time for more detail later.
About 9 months ago, I started building a personal brand on X to make a living by following my heart.
And after over two-thirds of a year, I haven't made any money online from it — I still make money from two music students, but I didn't get them through my personal brand.
My personal brand journey has been a story of self-growth.
Building my online business challenged me to:
Know myself better.
Step out of my comfort zone.
Tackle limiting beliefs.
At first, not making money wasn't a problem.
I was still learning.
But now, after nearly 9 months, I've started reflecting on my lack of progress in income.
A couple days ago I remembered a deep truth:
The outside world reflects my internal reality.
If I'm not experiencing abundance in money, something inside me is blocking it.
I often tried to solve the problem on the level of the external reality by learning:
Marketing.
Sales.
How to gain followers.
But it didn’t work.
I now realize that I need to master my inner reality for my outer reality to change.
This principle of the universe is not new to me.
I've known it since I started reading spiritual books at 15, but I didn't live it consistently.
So here I am today, excited to fully embrace this quest.
To start this journey, I'm focusing on three practices:
- Presence (mindfulness): To heal old emotional blockages and avoid new ones.
- Manifestation: Using my imagination to create my life instead of letting fears and doubts control it.
- Storytelling: Choosing how to perceive and tell my story in a way that guides me toward my heart's direction.
I'll let curiosity guide me as I dive deep into them and document my findings.
I'm excited, curious, and grateful to start this journey.
If you're feeling stuck, I hope to help you realize your potential by taking responsibility for your inner world.
If what I shared resonates with you, I'd love to get to know you and hear your story. You can reach out to me via X or book a call with me here.
I'm not selling anything; I just want to listen to you and see how I can help.
Thanks for reading, my friend.
Much love,
— Eliseo Renteria
