Hello everyone!

Welcome to the very first edition of my newsletter! I’m excited to embark on this journey with you where we’ll explore everything from business strategies to personal growth, productivity tips, health and fitness, and a few of my own personal thoughts along the way.

A Little Bit About Me

Born in Paris, I’ve had the opportunity to live in diverse cities like Tokyo, Nice, and Guernsey. Over the past decade, Guernsey has been home, but my experiences span continents. I speak both English and French fluently, understand Cantonese, and am currently learning Mandarin. These multicultural experiences shape my perspective and approach to life and business.

Why This Newsletter?

I’ve always believed that success in business and life isn’t just about working harder but working smarter—and constantly evolving. This newsletter is designed to share what I’ve learned (and continue to learn) about achieving growth, both in business and personal life.

Each edition will cover five main areas:

  1. Business Insights: Practical advice on scaling a business, new trends in the market, and entrepreneurial lessons.

  2. Productivity Hacks: Simple yet powerful tips to help you work more efficiently and get the most out of your day.

  3. Self-Improvement: How to develop better habits, enhance your mindset, and make personal progress over time.

  4. Health & Fitness Tips: Practical advice on how to stay in shape, improve your nutrition, and create habits that support a healthy lifestyle.

  5. Personal Thoughts: A peek behind the scenes at my own challenges, breakthroughs, and lessons learned.

My Thoughts on Growth (and why it’s not always linear)

In the first topic of self-improvement, I want to share something I’ve been reflecting on lately: growth isn’t always linear, and that’s okay. Sometimes we take two steps forward and one step back, and it’s easy to get frustrated. But that’s all part of the process. The key is to stay persistent, keep learning, and embrace the ups and downs.

In today’s world, people are more prone to giving up after a bad day or lack of progress because of the prevalence of instant gratification. Technology, social media, and the ease of modern life have conditioned us to expect quick results and immediate rewards. The constant influx of dopamine from notifications, entertainment, and instant responses can make it difficult to handle setbacks or delayed gratification. As a result, when we experience one bad day or a moment of stagnation, it feels disproportionately discouraging, leading many to give up rather than persevere. Cultivating patience, resilience, and an understanding that real growth often requires consistent effort without immediate results is key to overcoming this tendency.

My Current Businesses/Ventures

In the past two weeks, I've gone all in on my personal brand, and the results have been remarkable. Alongside running a clothing brand with two of my close friends—samples were just shipped yesterday—I’ve seen the true power of personal branding in today’s world. I've already received business proposals and partnerships from Egypt, India, Hong Kong, Paris, and the UK, proving just how impactful a strong personal brand can be. It’s an exciting time, and I’m fully committed to exploring these new opportunities

What’s Coming Next?

In the next issue, we’ll dive deeper into business, where I’ll break down why personal brand is everything. Stay tuned!

I’m truly grateful to have you on this journey with me, and I can’t wait to share more insights, tips, and personal stories that will help you grow both in business and in life.

Until next time, Zacheo
