Welcome to November’s mini-mastermind! Every two months, I answer your questions on business, from how to work with your energy, where to market your products to growing a business that sustains you and more.

This month I had another bumper crop of questions—thank you to every one who submitted a question, I love getting them!

In this post, I’ll be answering these four questions, and inviting paid subscribers to chime in too:

  • How do I prioritise the various parts of my business and life?

  • How do I find a community of other entrepreneurs now that I’m working by and for myself?

  • How do other people “winter” (to use Katherine May’s phrase) or slow down at this time of year?

  • Why would you want to have a blog as well as a Substack newsletter and how do you distinguish between what goes where?

The full text of the questions—and my answers—are below the fold and visible to paid subscribers only.
