Welcome to our weekly newsletter!

Hey friend,

Welcome to the last newsletter of 2024. But don't stress, we aren't going anywhere. It's been a successful year and I'm happy with what we have managed to create. And the most important thing we created: valuable, mindset shifting, life-changing info for project professionals like you.

Some Thoughts

Matthew Dicks said; “I don’t memorise a story, I remember it”. Now Matthew is the winner of six storytelling championships so his advice is worth noting. And useful. Project managers often present information. Usually to the background of dry powerpoint slides. The last thing we need is more dry, memorised speech. Next time, try not to memorise but to remember. Know the flow and narrative arc of your story. Understand it deeply. So deeply that you leave space for a bit of creativity. So that you can flow more naturally and keep your audience absorbed.

What you will learn this week:

☀️ The best things we did in 2024.

🌍 The cool ways we are creating value (for you) in 2025.

Annual Letter 2024

Hi friends

It’s December 2024 and time for our annual letter. Time to look at what we achieved, what we didn’t achieve, and where we want to go in the future. I really can’t believe that it’s been a full year since my last letter.

Key Achievements in 2024:

How about we start on a positive. With some key achievements for 2024.

• We reached 750 email subscribers. This is a big one for me. Email growth has been slow but I am hoping we can get more project managers involved in our community in future.
• We launched on Substack. We were already on Medium, but Substack is a new challenge. What I like about it is the Notes feature. It allows me to write short-form insights in a way that feels more authentic than Twitter/X. If you like bite-sized, actionable information, be sure to check that out.

We are on a fantastic Gumroad streak, releasing one product weekly for six months (25 products total). I’m super excited about that and we’ve received over 250 downloads of our free products. It’s super cool that project managers around the world are benefiting from these products.

Postscript

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for a great year. My wish for you is that you do two things in 2025.

1) Learn more about what makes you successful.

2) Truly believe that you are worthy of success.

Until next time,

Jonathan (The Effective Project Manager)
