I would never have thought to have a sleepless night over Substack, but after reading Dr Yildiz’s Substack Mastery book, I knew I had to up my game and review my strategy regarding what and why I was writing. 

My digital publishing journey started with medium. It was a way to channel my creativity. 

The Substack Mastery, however, has been a game-changer. It was frustrating taking away time from the creativity process but it offers valuable knowledge to apply your energy better.

I often think progress, not perfection, but I love the elevation of this notion to "excellence, not perfection." That's a worthwhile pursuit, always.

Hey, Dr. Mehmet. Thank you for putting together this wonderful series of chapters for your book. I have learned so much from you for the past two years and the education just keeps on keeping on. I printed your checklist and will use it from now on. For all of this, I am grateful. Have a blessed day!
