For the solopreneur who’s still in the room — still writing, still believing.
Write less. Connect more. Convert better.

Let’s take a breath together.
A deep, slow inhale.
In through the inbox. Out through the noise.

Because here’s what I want to say today:

You’re still here.

And I see you.

Not because you launched a 6-figure product.
Not because you built a funnel or posted 100 Reels.
But because…

✨ You kept writing — even when it felt quiet
✨ You kept believing — even through burnout and breaks
✨ You didn’t unsubscribe from your own dream

And that matters more than you know.

There’s a lot of loud energy this time of year.

“Reflect and goal-set!”
“Plan your biggest year ever!”
“Here’s how I made $243,000 with this 4-step funnel!”

🙄 You know the vibe.

And look, I love a good strategy.
But sustainable flow? It rarely looks like a chart-topping performance.

It looks like:

·       Showing up when you can

·       Taking breaks without quitting

·       Rewriting your own rules until they fit your rhythm

And it starts with noticing that you’re still here.

Let’s name a few quiet wins you might’ve overlooked:

·       You sent fewer emails — but they felt more like you

·       You stopped copying templates that didn’t match your voice

·       You got one heartfelt reply that reminded you this matters

·       You pressed “send” when you were scared, and nothing bad happened

·       You paused for a month, and the world didn’t fall apart

None of that goes on a highlight reel.
But it’s the real foundation of what’s coming next.

You’re not behind.
You’re just becoming.

Want to write something beautiful this week — without launching or teaching?

Try a simple, soulful check-in email.

Here’s a structure that works beautifully this time of year:

Subject Line: “You’re still here. And I see you.”

Body:

Hey [first name] —

I know things get loud in business at the end of the year.
Lots of pressure to plan, pivot, or perform.

So today, I’m doing something different.

I’m just saying:
If you’re still here — reading, writing, dreaming — I see you.

You don’t have to crush your Q4 numbers or plan your Q1 content calendar to be valid.

Sometimes staying in the room is the bravest thing.

So wherever you’re at right now… I’m glad you’re still here.

I’ll be right here too — steady, slow, and soulful.

With care,
[Your name]

You’d be amazed how seen your readers feel after this kind of note.
It doesn’t sell — but it connects.
And connection is always what converts.

People don’t unsubscribe because you’re inconsistent.
They unsubscribe when they feel invisible.

When you say:

✨ “I see you.”
✨ “You’re not too late.”
✨ “Your rhythm is valid.”

You create safety.
And safety is the starting line of sustainable visibility.

So even if you haven’t emailed in a month —
Even if your content plan fell apart —
Even if you’re “behind” on your launch prep —

You can write this email today.
And it will be exactly right.

Try this quick journal prompt before the week ends:

“I’m proud that I’m still here because _______.”

Here are a few real answers I’ve heard from clients:

·       “Because I let go of marketing that drained me”

·       “Because I took care of myself before my stats”

·       “Because I remembered this work is sacred”

What’s yours?

Write it. Save it.
Let it be your proof.

You don’t have to book a call.
Or buy a template.
Or plan your launch.

Just reply and tell me:

💌 Why are you still here?

What kept you connected to your vision, even when it felt hard?

Or — if you don’t feel connected — what would help bring you back?

I’d love to know.
No sales funnel. Just a real reply.

With softness and solidarity,
—Eli ✍️

“It’s okay if you’re not sprinting. You’re still moving. And that matters.”

✅ You’ve had a tough year — but you didn’t quit
✅ You’re building a practice, not a performance
✅ You’re ready to start seeing your own resilience
