"Make it happen. Shock everyone." – Unknown
18|01|2025 | Destiny
Hey,
Gone are the days when starting a business felt impossible. Not anymore, my friends.
I was lucky to grow up learning the art of street trading with my parents in the '90s, just before the dot-com boom.
What seemed insignificant back then has become one of my greatest assets today.
Before we continue, evaluate whether Alex's comments resonate with you, and I hope you're in a better position to comprehend this little letter of mine. And, yeah, if you're bored of my sh!t. You're free to Unsubscribe. No hard feelings.
And for those who are still eager to sail on, secure your anchor. It will be worthwhile. I sincerely promise.
Truly, the reality is that starting or joining the world of entrepreneurship is never a simple endeavour.
It has the potential to suck. And sucking sucks. However, once you overcome the initial slog, things begin to flow. I witnessed this in Community Building 101.
Like seriously, I can't stop emphasising Community Building because it was and continues to be my first experience with virality in the digital sphere.
I hope you don't become bored with it. I enjoy discussing finance but needed solid information to support my claims.
To me, what makes a great story is conquering the initial hurdle entrenched in a new domain. As a philosopher, you're a conqueror by design.
No more excuses. We’re in the 21st century. There’s no reason why you can’t start something of your own. Nothing will make you happier than waking up to a completed project. Oh, it feels great. I can attest.
Achieving success has never been more accessible, even in a world of distractions. Innovation is not always necessary; instead, study what is already thriving, enhance it, repackage it, or infuse it with your unique perspective to create something valuable and compelling.
I'm aware that some folks may say, "Destiny talks too much." And I f*ckin know, too. Yes, I do. I can't help it, though. The number of people who dedicate their entire lives to building someone else's empire rather than their own is astounding.
Business ideas are everywhere. Just open your eyes. What’s the frustration? What problem do you keep running into? Solve it. That right there is a business opportunity.
Allow me to give you a practical example. I just decided to update my workplace. Everything was in excellent alignment until I discovered my mousepad no longer matched the new arrangement. Rather than simply purchasing a replacement, I recognised an opportunity.
Like always, I did a handful of research, found a niche, and turned my small frustration into a business idea.
And based on research findings. The creative economy is expected to reach over $4 trillion by 2032, propelled by the digital revolution, technical innovation, and cultural trends. UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD)
You see. It is that simple. Observe. Adapt. Resell. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Just make it roll smoother.
I diligently redesigned a leather mousepad for myself in order to inspire aspiring creatives. Everything I did was for myself; the solution is being given for sale.
So, tell me, what’s stopping you? Solve your personal burning problem, whether it's physical, digital, emotional, financial, or spiritual, and then offer the solution.
There is always a hungry audience waiting for your inventive response.
I hope this message is helpful in any manner.
I will see you in the next one.
Enjoy your weekend,
Until next time,
— Destiny

"Don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the great." – John D. Rockefeller
01|11|2025
Hey Philosopher,
Welcome back 2025!
To all our new philosophers here, I’m Destiny, and it’s great to meet you.
I'm the voice behind Weekend Chronicle, the founder of snuggleready.com and the creator of the one-of-a-kind Community Building 101 programme that has brought our amazing community together.
As we proceed into 2025, I’m thrilled to keep the fire blazing...
With great surprises ahead, we’re excited to have you along for the ride.
I’ll skip the long intro because we all have the attention span of a goldfish nowadays. Let's jump right in, mates.
5 Lessons I’m Learning from Amazon FBA
Before we begin, I reckon the lessons I'm about to share with us are worth a million dollars.
They're firsthand experiences and from a reliable source.
A quick tip: Learning does not always entail making mistakes for oneself.
Learning from individuals who have already travelled or are on the journey towards your destination is sometimes the wisest choice.
Consider getting travel advice from someone who has recently returned from a trip you are planning to embark on.
While Amazon FBA has enormous earning potential, your success depends on understanding its particular hurdles.
Lesson 1: Patience
After sending 50 units of our snuggle brand to Amazon’s Melbourne warehouse, we were confident about ending 2024 strong. But there was a problem: enthusiasm alone doesn’t guarantee success.
The sales did not arrive as expected, but we weren't concerned because we had nothing to lose and a lot to gain by trying.
The purpose is not to sell products wholeheartedly; rather, it is to develop a digital lifestyle in light of the current circumstances of the digital landscape that we're in.
Yes, we did send an offer to most philosophers we thought would be in severe need of our dear products, but it was unsuccessful. We still love you regardless, perhaps next time.
By the way, if you have anything to sell to us, please do. That's the future of commerce. And this time, we're creating a unique phone holder for creatives.
This design was inspired by the desire to safeguard our gadgets from scratches and dents.
I loathe scratches and dints on my devices, and I am not the type of guy who places them in cases. No f*ckin way, it hides the devices' aesthetics.
You can take a peek if you want. We are designing them with utmost care and made with love.
Great news
Yes. We are giving away five of these beautifully created presents to you for free. This is because we are a Thanksgiving community.
We'll keep you posted; simply continue opening the dawn letters to get all the hints.
Now, talk about New Year, New Bill! I mean for us.
I've attached a screenshot below to demonstrate how it all played out. After all, numbers are more effective storytellers than words.
You see, our net profit was negative fifty-four dollars, Ninety-five cents. (-54.95$). A must-pay fee to remain in the ecosystem.
But there’s always light at the end of the tunnel, as we kept reassuring ourselves. Giving up is not even an option at this moment.
I’d remind myself that even Amazon lost money at the beginning of its journey. ...Remember?
Yes. If you have a broader perspective, Amazon is a tremendous tool. However, remember the timeless rule from Community Building 101 about the perils of mediocrity.
You wouldn't wanna build an empire on a leased land.
Lesson 2: Product line
When conducting product research, particularly if yours is not based on a lifestyle design.
consider compact products that require minimal storage space and offer greater versatility. You can still make money if you study the right.

We’re Great in Bed! 🛌
See How Far’ve Come @Snuggleready.com
"We’ve come a long way, and every step has been a building block towards a future filled with possibilities." — Maya Angelou
We’re Great in bed! 🕊
That’s not just a cheeky line—it’s the heart of what Snuggleready is all about. For the past five days or so, I’ve poured myself into rebuilding Snuggleready, and here we are: thriving, growing, and ready to launch.
This isn’t about triggering a dopamine hit; it’s a celebration of purpose. Whether you’re building, rebuilding alongside Weekendchronicle or chasing your vision, take a moment to appreciate your journey. Well, done.
Snuggle is just one of many companies we’re building to scale. It’s not just a product—it’s embedded in a lifestyle design.
Build. Influence. Improve.
• Build your thing. Whatever it is, create it with love and grit.
• Build it anyway. When it’s hard, messy, or daunting—keep building...

Newspaper Excellence
Master the Art of Grabbing Your Readers Attention: 5 Proven Newsletter Strategies (DC's Way 101)
"A great newsletter is like a personal letter from a friend, offering value, insights, and a connection that keeps readers coming back for more." – Unknown
Warning: This is not what the so-called gurus will teach you.
These strategies stem from real-world experiences that earned me over 1,000 subscribers and brought in about 50 new leads daily through my freebies.
I’ll show you exactly how I did it, with nothing hidden.
The tricks and strategies I’ll share with you are completely different from what you might expect.
And I’ll strive to keep it simple and brief like a discussion between a mother and her adolescent daughter on the topic of puberty.
Let’s jump right in and get started immediately.
I began writing a newsletter out of nowhere, first and foremost.
After solving a problem and sharing the solution for free, my idea quickly gained traction.
It wasn’t until I had one crucial realization that everything clicked into place.
…And boom my email list started swelling and eventually skyrocketed and went out of control.
This mindset shift was the key to my success, and I want to help you replicate that if you want to.
Since then, I’ve accumulated over 1,000 subscribers in less than 9 weeks or so using my solution-centric method that went viral as lead magnets.

Your followers are the new currency of the digital age—invest in them wisely." – Brian Solis
Friends vs. Followers: A New Reality
In this second digital renaissance, let’s be clear: followers are often more valuable than friend requests.
While friends offer emotional support, followers provide tangible opportunities.
Think of followers as clients or business partners—they’re the ones driving your growth.
Friendships have their place, but followers are the fuel for progress.
Digital platforms prioritize follower engagement—both in quantity and quality—over likes or opinions from friends.
If you’re serious about building a livelihood in this space, it’s time to focus on your followers while maintaining sensitivity to the nuances of each relationship.
This is the reality of today’s world, and I’m sharing this because I know you care about this topic and aspire to live the good life.
I get it, you’re probably itching to rip this apart, but give me a moment, please.
Just yesterday, I had an epiphany about the true power of technology as a tool.
For the longest time, social media was merely that—just another platform to stay connected. But things have changed drastically since my last casual scroll.
I went from having zero followers and a handful of friends with endless friend requests to understanding the profound ripple effects followers can create.
It started with a simple fascination—an obsession, really—with the possibilities this tool offered. That curiosity drove me to build a vast network of digital real estate spanning the globe. To date, I’ve established over 33 internet communities, each thriving in its unique space.
Here are three of the most recent ones you might find interesting:
https://www.car swap | Melbourne
https://tools | Australia
https://www.realestate | australia
From the very beginning, I wanted to craft a life doing what I love—free from the chains of the traditional grind.

“Content is fire; social media is gasoline.”— Jay Baer
How to Create a Traffic Buzz: Lessons from Building 33 Meta Communities. 🎡
Your valuable content, irresistible offers, profile, or product mean nothing if no one sees them.
Traffic is the engine of the digital world—and without it, even the best ideas remain invisible.
I wouldn't want to bore you with too many long conversations as the year comes to a close.
Here’s what I learned about generating sustainable traffic from building 33 thriving Meta communities.
When I first launched my online store, I didn’t grasp the immense value of traffic. My site was eerily quiet, like a digital ghost town—an uncomfortable experience that motivated me to conquer traffic generation.
As I shared in Community Building 101, every successful community or venture starts with a challenge or frustration. For me, frustration became the spark for growth.
Traffic is the lifeblood of the digital age, and cultivating it effectively is the difference between thriving and struggling.
This guide will walk us through building a sustainable and practical system to ensure your hard work gets the visibility it deserves.
Centralizing Your Traffic Strategy: 🕸️
Think of your digital presence as a tree—it needs strong roots (your strategy) to nourish and support the branches (your platforms) and leaves (your content). Or maybe that didn't go well.
Your digital presence is like a symphony orchestra—every instrument (platform) needs a conductor (strategy) to harmonize and produce a masterpiece.
You see; A centralized system simplifies processes and allows for seamless automation, giving you the freedom to focus on what truly matters.
For me, ConvertKit (now Kit) serves as this powerhouse. It integrates emails, sequences, and automation into one streamlined platform.
With tools like this, I can:
- Automate processes while I sleep or relax.
- Distribute content efficiently to the right people at the right time.
- Scale operations without losing control or quality.
Actionable Strategies: 🤳
These are strategies you can implement immediately and start seeing results.
- Leverage automation tools to nurture leads consistently. ⚙️
- Craft content that captivates and delivers value. In my eyes, community building will always be evergreen because the content and its proven outcomes keep the momentum going.
As the demand for community-building grows, a dedicated role is on the verge of being created to support it.
- Build relationships through active community engagement-followership has taken a back seat; the real power lies in the interactions—comments, likes, shares and saves.
- Use analytics to refine what’s working and discard what’s not. A lot of people overlook analytics, but the truth is—they don’t lie.
Take my platform on Spotify, for example. It’s still in the beginner stage, but the progress so far has been incredibly encouraging.
Absolutely. I’ll share the tools and framework to help you automate your way to $3K+, even as a beginner, once the results begin to roll in.
You see, traffic isn’t just about numbers—it’s about creating a system that consistently works in your favour.
The way forward...
Yes. By applying these lessons and tools, you can create a traffic ecosystem that connects your audience with your message effortlessly.
Start building your buzz today, and watch your reach—and success—skyrocket! 🚀🫂
Until next week,
— Destiny

Community Building 101: the Game-changing Tweak. 🚀💥🤦♂️ (After 2 Years of Trial & Error. )
Destiny (Host)
“A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle.” — Benjamin Franklin
23|09|2024
What I’m about to unleash today was not even considered during my two years at RMIT, or at any MBA management school.
These are hands-on tips and real-life experiences, not those of online gurus who have nothing to show for themselves, mainly intellectuals without knowledge of real-world situations. And that’s worse than useless.
That being said, let’s get started.
Lest I forget...
Every community I’ve established has an awful story embedded within it. And ...Yes, if you click the links below, please return to our adventure.

F*ck Information - Embrace Execution.
“To know and not to do is not to know.” – Stephen R. Covey
You don’t need more information—you need execution. Stop scrolling, stop consuming, and start creating. This isn’t just a wake-up call; it’s the alarm clock of your life screaming, “Do something!”
No shade, but let’s be real—it’s been an insane year, and yet, so many are still stuck in the idea phase. Ideas are free. Execution? That’s what pays the bills.
Chill—there’s still room to play. The music’s warming up, and the spotlight is ready for you. You’re not behind; you’re perfectly poised to start strong. Time to shine.
The power of the “in the beginning” is typically embraced by those who start something.

3 Keys to Freestyling your Destiny 🔑
If you’re stressed out, it’s often an indication that you’re lacking purpose—specifically, unhealthy stress. Similarly, if you find yourself easily angered, it can indicate the same void.
People with a purpose don’t get upset as quickly because they grasp the essence of pursuing a meaningful project. Purposeful individuals operate with the mindset that they have nothing to lose, viewing every experience as valuable feedback guiding them toward the future they envision.
Destiny is not rigid. It’s flexible, and flexibility is intertwined with creativity. Freestyle your journey. It's your journey, my dear friend. Not your dads', not your mums' not even society's. It’s f*ckin yours, baby.
Enjoy!
