Reading time: 12 minutes

Greetings from above,

So, you're staring at those 2025 goals like they're leftovers from last week's takeout? πŸ˜…

I get it. I used to be that freelancer who'd write grand plans in January, only to watch them collect digital dust by February.

But then I found a way to turn my "January failures" into February wins using AI - and now I'm running God of Prompt full-time.

Today, we'll talk about:

  • Why January "failures" are actually perfect setups

  • A plug-and-play AI system for goal revival

  • The 11/12ths success formula that'll blow your mind

Let's dive in!
