🌱 Why I plant seeds 5 times a week

Hello Solution Seekers,

It's Philip here. Our chats revolve around an actionable tip, but this week, I'm switching gears. Why?

Because sometimes, hearing about someone else's highs and lows can be motivating.

We can learn from others by finding bits of our own stories in theirs.

As I share my wins from the past week, I hope it sparks a little fire in you.

And hey, I'd love to hear about your highlights from last week.

So, after you're done reading, drop me a line or two about your victories, big or small.
