We're about to get hit by a hurricane in Florida.

It is said to be a category 3 or 4 by the time it arrives in a few short days.

I grew up in Puerto Rico, and we were used to that.

I was that crazy guy that would go to the beach and surf in hurricane weather.

But things change.

Now, I have two beautiful kids, and as a parent, I get concerned.

So, we may hit the road to go up north for a few days.

I am still pondering on that.

Speaking of "pondering," soon, we'll officially launch version 1 of my newsletter ecosystem, Ponderer: infinite wisdom in motion.

Feel free to join the waiting list now to become a founding member.

There will be many benefits for you, and it's 100% free.

Once you do, you will receive a crucial welcome email.

Read it.

 🔆 2 Ideas

.

I. 

Create Your Own Inner-Circle:

If you pay attention to how many social media influencers grow fast, whether on Twitter, Instagram, or Linkedin - you'll discover a pattern.

I did this on Instagram a couple of years ago, and my following grew very fast.

I've been focusing on Linkedin for the past couple of weeks and noticed the same pattern.

So, what is this pattern I'm talking about?

Simple:

A handful of people will always like, comment, and even give shoutouts to each other to help each other's content have more extensive outreach and grow faster.

The problem?

It is almost impossible to be part of their inner circle.

All you can do is leave intelligent comments on their posts and engage with their audience in the hopes you can earn some attention.

That approach works, but it is not for everyone.

Not everyone has the time to do that.

Instead, do this:

Create your own inner circle if you can't be part of their inner circle.

Contact 4-5 other creators in your space and share your vision of helping each other grow on any platform by supporting each other's content, etc.

When the path isn't there, you must create your own path.

6 Elements of Limitless Creators:

I believe the future belongs to limitless creators.

There are six elements of a limitless creator:

#1 - Possibility

The belief you can manifest opportunities to create new possibilities in how you see yourself across all areas of your life.

#2 - Power

The capacity to create and learn how to predictably and sustainably access power in association with other committed creators like you.

#3 - Perspective

The ability to see and understand things from a place you couldn't see before in order to move forward inside of new possibilities.

#4 - Production

The act of “doing” and "being" committed to results.

#5 - Profit

Your ability to get results from your production.

#6 - Protection

Taking everything you have built and profited from and ultimately figuring out how to keep it. It’s one thing to make it; it’s another thing to keep it.

#7 - Expansion

Your ability to leverage everything you keep to expand your wealth by acquiring cash-flowing assets and, ultimately, pass along a legacy of mental/financial wealth.

🔆 1 Insight

.

The $100M Tagline:

On Linkedin, the tagline is like the headline and hook of a sales page or opt-in page.

I can tell you all about how to turn your Linkedin profile into a lead-generating landing page instead of a boring resume, but that's a topic for another time.

The insight I want to share with you is this:

Can you see my tagline in the image above?

It says:

Ever since I added that tagline, I get tons of messages and people following me because it grabbed their attention.

They say things like:

"I couldn't resist the $100M ecosystem."

"I'm curious to learn more about your newsletter ecosystem."

"Building a $100M newsletter ecosystem? That's inspiring! I had to follow you."

The lesson here is:

Don't be afraid to share a bold goal or vision on your tagline.

However, here is the real insight:

Am I working towards a $100M company?

Yes.

Does $100M inspire me to wake up every day at 4am to work on it?

No.

Here is the reason I wake up every day:

Death.

Ponderer [the newsletter ecosystem I'm talking about] was born from my desire to create a legacy of wisdom and other resources for my children across mental health, wealth [the creation, protection, and expansion of it], and navigating relationships.

When I'm gone, they will have the resources to build anything they envision and navigate life, the voices in their head, how to heal, and access their power, how to create value and expand leverage for themselves and others, and so much more.

This is my "selfish" mission in life.
