Finally, reaching my goal after 160 newsletter issues.
It took me 160 weeks (3 years!), but this is the first issue my wife receives as a SwiftLee Weekly Subscriber. A great moment to give her a shoutout for all her (mental 😉 ) support in the years of growing SwiftLee into what it is today.
It's also the end of Q1 2023 and time to reflect on my goals.

------
I'm happy with the results of this first quarter, but there are a few learnings I'll take into Q2:
- My MRR and Personal Twitter follower targets needed to be more stretchy. Setting a more challenging target will likely push me further
- I focused a lot on MRR at the beginning of the quarter. If I started focusing on newsletter & Twitter growth first, I could benefit from those initiatives throughout the quarter. The results of this growth will now likely follow in Q2.
I could easily share much more thoughts on my first quarter, but this newsletter is already lengthy! Next week, I'll take you through my goals for Q2.
Stay tuned, and enjoy this week's SwiftLee Weekly! |
