🔴 Leave Your Potential In 2025
This newsletter was started exactly two years ago today!
First, thank you for reading.
Writing this newsletter has become a staple in my life and honestly, I just hope it’s helped you in some way.
It currently has 331 free subscribers and a few paid subscribers.
It’s not a gigantic or impressive number at face value but given my small social following, that’s a pretty damn big percentage of my followers who have chosen to press subscribe.
So again, thank you.
I started the newsletter as a Day-After-New-Years resolution.
My goal was to do something helpful for others under my own name.
I’m excited to read the original newsletters in 10 years and see how much (or little) they’ve changed.
With that, I’d like to look into the future and think about 2025.
For me, 2025 is the year of proving my potential.
I know I have potential.
You know you have potential.
I don’t want to look back on my life and think I could have given more.
I could have been better.
I could have done more with my life but chose not to because I chose to relax instead.
So, this is the year I prove my potential instead of knowing I have potential.
I know I can sell fine art photography prints if I try.
I know I can make great newsletters every week if I try.
I know I can continue doing great work at VeeFriends if I try.
I know I can make fun and educational content if I try.
I don’t want to know I could do it if I try, I want to do it.
And I want you to read this sentence and know you can do it.
But you need more than a temporary good feeling to make it happen, so try this:
Copy and paste this ChatGPT prompt and do this exercise tonight. It will take you 15 minutes. You have 15 minutes to do this. It’s your future we’re helping here.
The prompt:
I want to create my goal and vision for 2025. Please guide me through this process by asking me 10 questions one by one, and when I’m done answering the 10th question, write my dream life story for 2025, three short mantras for 2025, then my top 5 goals broken down by [health, career, side hustle, relationship, and lifestyle]
Replace the brackets at the end with categories that feel right for you.
When you have your mantra, write it down in a place you see every day.
Your bathroom mirror, above the kitchen sink, the fridge, your vanity, your TV.
My mantra: I focus. I create. I thrive.
Thank you for reading.
I’m excited to leave my potential in 2025.
I have a specific goal for my main side venture, creating and selling fine art photography. I plan to share what the goal is once it’s hit because I heard that saying your goal releases the same chemicals in your brain as actually hitting it.
In 2024, I took 1,654 pictures, edited 123, and published only 22 images.
I have a huge threshold for the images I print and sell. They must have a spark.
I want to make images that leave an impact because these photos are my legacy.
I’m live streaming on January 2nd at 8:30 pm ET and every Tuesday on Whatnot, entertaining and selling my prints.

In the short time I streamed in 2024, I sold a little over 30 prints and I can’t wait to see what 2025 has in store.
I’m changing things up in 2025 by introducing the $1 auction format. That means every print sold will be auctioned and start at $1. I want to get these prints in the hands of as many people as possible and the $1 format will give the chance for good value and constant fun action during the stream.
I’ll also give away a print to a lucky viewer — all you have to do is be there and press enter giveaway for a chance to win.
I hope to see you there!
