I can’t wait to see where you take us in the next 12 weeks as well!!! It’s been a blessing to have you share your wisdom with us! You’re amazing Patrick, never stop!!!!
Thank you for sharing, Patrick. Your story is one of inspiration and I sincerely respect your courage to pursue what seems like more of a vocation for you than a job. As someone who is seeking a similar journey, I find a great deal of comfort in knowing that my fear and hesitation is shared by so many others. I hope you succeed because I think you have a real gift from the brief interaction I've had with you here. I think you're answering a true inner calling. Good luck, my friend!
It's certainly challenging to dive into something new... Run your own business... Something you are passionate about and believe in without the security of a regular paying role. You have achieved alot in 12wks I am excited to see what the next 12wks bring for you.
I appreciate you following me on this journey, and thank you for reading. There has been a lot to learn, but I feel fortunate to have a supportive community
You are far too kind. I am excited to start it. Just need to figure out what I want to say. I am not normally at a loss for words. Appreciate your support.
Your post is so inspiring for everyone. Any kind of change is difficult. I know that first hand. But if you never try something new, you will never know. You come across as a lovely, kind, knowledgeable and thoughtful person and I have no doubt, you will make a huge success. Looking forward to sharing your journey with you 🌹
Love this reflection, Patrick, and crazy that you announced it on Substack too! I would probably not be as brave (wasn't the first time I did it at least lol). Keep it going, the first 12 weeks are without a doubt the hardest. From now on it's all about keeping up the momentum 🔥
Patrick, you made the big leap and you are in the middle of it. But the messiness is only temporary. I’m so proud of you. I’m also happy to know that you’ve extended your deadline to the end of September.
You are becoming, growing, and will only continue! My intention word for 2026: GROWTH! What’s yours? Do you have one?
I love your intention word. Mine for 2026 is FULFILLMENT. It speaks to the reason I started this practice and what I hope to gain in my life as I follow my own path.
I am thankful every day for your support, my friend.
Patrick, this is the real work. You wrote from inside the process, not from some polished finish line. That comes through. This line stood out to me: “Not because I am failing. Because I am making progress.” That’s real second-act math most people need to hear.
I'm anticipating GREAT THINGS for you! Thanks for sharing your messy middle. I think a lot of people are in this place and will resonate with your determination!

Thank you, Mick. That means so much to me. I am truly taken by the depth of the messages I have received from this post.
It has been great to have you on this journey with me, and I am also excited to see where the next twelve weeks go.
Thanks for your support.
LFG!!!
Hell yeah Patrick, my pleasure!!! LFGGGGG 🔥

I am reading your response and am so emotionally moved by it.
Thank you for this. Truly. You have no idea how much it means to receive a message of this depth.
It is good to know we are not alone. Fear cannot be the deciding factor. It can be information that propels us forward.
I am honored by your words and wish you success as you move forward.
Keep going.

Looking forward to you new YouTube channel, I know you will blow it out of the water, here supporting you!!

Thank you, and I am equally happy to join you both on your journey.
The path of change is often irrelevant.
It requires thought, courage, and the spirit to do something that has meaning in your life.
I am reminded of this with each post you make from the road.
So thank you for being here. It means a great deal to me.
Yes and thank you for being there for us 🌹

Thank you, Dido. Yes, it is all about the momentum.
This has been bothering me because I forget to leave this comment …
Thank you for the heart shaped leaf in your #Grow picture you shared!💚
It was another reminder of finding love in unexpected places!
I remember that post of yours. That Monday of leaving 9 to 5 and I think you can me very proud of yourself!
New beginnings never tell you when they actually transform into something tangible.
Keep going 🫶🏻
Thank you so much.
It is nice to have you on this journey and reading about where you are at, also.
This is what building community looks like.

Rooting for what you’re building. Keep going.
Thank you. JP.
I promised I would share building in public, and this is the reality.
I debated whether to include that sentence (“Not because I am failing. Because I am making progress.”). Because progress is the key.
When building, we have to be mindful of that progress because it can be quiet and small.
Thanks again for being there and for your support.
I'm anticipating GREAT THINGS for you! Thanks for sharing your messy middle. I think a lot of people are in this place and will resonate with your determination!
Thank you.
I committed to building in public.
What I have truly appreciated is the community I have built.
That makes all the difference.
That definitely seems the strength of this platform: connection and community
... And authenticity!
