I started this Sunday Growth Dairies so that I can:
👉 Keep track of my journey
👉 Document my processes
👉 Plan for the next week
And most importantly share my journey with my subscribers.
✔️ The decisions I’ve made in the past week
✔️ The hurdles I’ve jumped
✔️ The lessons learned along the way
As another week on my journey to 1 million subscribers wraps up.
Here’s what’s been happening behind the scenes at The Notion Millionaire.
This week I have decided to quit hanging with toxic people.
Why?
I have out-matured most of them.
I think it’s time that I should make new friends. Who are:
- Growth-oriented
- Ambitious
- Always hungry for knowledge

Strategic Insights
Recent Developments
My website is fully functional now. It is working fine now.
Automations have been in place. Welcome sequence. And stuff like that.
Marketing
Find content gaps in the comment section of the viral posts and create content around that quickly publish it and share it with the people.
I have yet to try this.
But this seems to be working for a lot of successful creators on LinkedIn, X, and Reddit. Let’s see how this goes.
I hope I can pull this off with a lot to do daily.
Hiring
Launched TNM Associate program.
Building a team of 10 people.
Excited about it. Proud of the marketing manager who is pulling this off.
Lessons Learned
Lesson # 1 – Don’t build solo. I have heard this from a lot of people to go solo.
But I think this is not for everyone. You limit your growth substantially.
At times, it feels like you are working in a mill. Where someone else makes the real money
Work with people. Setup partnerships. Hire people on commission if you can’t do it on a full-time basis.
Content Audit
LinkedIn:
My most reached post for the past week on LinkedIn is the following.
This is short, to the point, with no fluff and targets the pain point of my audience.
And it was easy to write. I just thought about what was my pain and wrote that.
Twitter:
The most reached tweet for the past week is the following.
I have noticed that people on Twitter respond more to question tweets, something they can engage with.
I tweeted another one similar to this and got good views on that as well.
Why are my impressions low on LinkedIn and Twitter?
It’s been two or three weeks since I started posting regularly on social media.
And I have not taken the time to figure out a formula to go viral on LinkedIn and Twitter.
I am just so busy.
I understand that this is important. And next week my focus will be on this.
Going Viral.
Challenges and Conquests
The idea of building solo is BS. Tbvh.
Especially when the goal is to build a community of one million individuals.
So, that is why, now I am building a team.
And my true strengths lie in strategy and having ideas.
I do love to stretch but I have a limited amount of time and energy. I cannot do everything.
So, now I am shifting my focus from solopreneurship to building out a lean team.
Join the Conversation
Every person liked my website design.
Me and my designer have put in so much effort.
We have revised things a gazillion times. And we still think we can improve this but we need to design other things too.
I would love your insights.
Give me ideas about what should we add to the community.
What is your idea of the community?
