Newsletter: 052 | Fifty-Two
Fifty-Two
What started on a whim became a weekly staple for a whole year. In October 2017, shortly after launching the law firm, I set out to publish a newsletter every Sunday for 52 consecutive weeks. Not missing one week has been a proud achievement. It's not so much the newsletter itself as it is the ambitious goal behind it. Researching, consuming, summarizing, and creating quality content on a weekly basis while running a professional services business is no small feat. It was never easy getting the newsletter done, and there was always a good excuse for skipping a week. But I looked at the newsletter as I do most other things – a test of work ethic, character, and perseverance. It's been a fun ride over the past year, and I look forward to sharing the next iteration of the newsletter.
