I agree and I have been trying to find my way to my own list of internal indicators of what success on Substack looks like for me. its not easy! But like you say, its for a long game, not short term wins.
Yes, exactly! Defining success on our own terms is such a game-changer, but it’s definitely not always easy. Especially when we’ve been conditioned to chase external markers of success. I’ve had to shift my own focus away from subscriber counts and short-term engagement and instead measure success by things like the depth of conversations I’m having, the quality of connections I’m building, and how aligned I feel with what I’m creating.
It makes such a difference when we stop letting external metrics dictate our worth. 🥰
