Last week, you learned about Jen Taylor and my octopus personality.
Some of you learned yesterday that I also screw things up sometimes. Often, really, but that is because
I have a high tolerance for "failure."
I was working on this email and accidentally hit send instead of send test and as you clearly saw...it wasn't finished.
I was trying to improve your experience with my emails by creating this little buttons (below) so you can choose which emails you receive from me.
And every time I tested it, the links weren't working the way they were supposed to work. And I tested it about 25 times before that send/send test debacle.
But here's the beauty about experiments (and failures).
The failure SOLVED the problem.
When I sent that email by accident, a few people were quick to click the buttons and they were working after all.
The lesson here is that I could have FAILED FASTER.
I could've sent out my experiment as a test right away...I would have known within a few minutes if it was working on not and could have made adjustments based on that information.
Instead of continuing to bang my head against the desk wondering why it wasn't working, I sent a silly, unfinished and slightly embarrassing email and got the feedback I needed within seconds.
So thank you to those people who were willing to click YES even when the email was a big, hot mess. 😘
So, here we go again -
Because I do have so many octopus-like interests, my emails can be quite varied which means some you might love and others are of no interest.
I'd like to send you only the emails that you want
I think 🤞that the tags are working correctly. If you continue to get emails that you don't want...please reply to me and let me know so that I can fail my way to success.
Please choose ONE of the options out of the three below.
WARNING - when you click the box it will take you out of this email and to my website but hopefully also record your choice - that's the best I could figure out today.
Come back to your email to review your journal prompt for the week - you might be able to guess what the topic is.
