TL;DR: I'm accepting 2 people to experience a "moving on from failure" workshop for $100 in December. Please email me if you're interested.
When the calendar flips to November I automatically remember something. Sort of like how when you smell the air turning cold as the seasons change you can taste the fall or winter. The word and idea of November makes me think of a specific landmark of an experience.
Because...
Yesterday I celebrated my TWO YEARS of daily practice. Wow! 730 days out of 1000 days done. Although the initial plan was to practice for 1000 days it just became ordinary life for me so the counting is only for tracking purposes, so I can occasionally have some checkpoints and remember parts of my life.
What's different about year 2, compared to year 1? The nice thing is that pretty much all of the learnings I've gotten from my practices carry over and layer in my life. I don't really forget about the things I learned, and of course much of this is thanks to the practice being DAILY but another significant contributor to my remembering is my coaching.
As I coach I keep re-teaching myself what I learned about suffering. Why do we suffer? Why am I angry? Who am I? These questions are questions I never graduate from, I just happen to converge towards an answer and it's refreshing and encouraging to see my clients and students work through the same process of awakening.
Year 1 was about the fundamental reckoning about the truthful reality of existence and life. Year 2 as about understanding the day to day of a human being, with all of its ups and downs. I've learned that I've been doing a lot of repressing on myself, and I thought this was natural since I place myself on a rigorous standard. But I realized that repression is different from an honest admission of the experience of life.
This newfound honesty with myself has been refreshing and it's been refreshing to everyone working with me as well. With these practices I've also been working on a book translation that will be hopefully released some time next year. This is the largest work of writing I've ever done and I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to translate it. This obviously takes a lot of time and writing to do so I haven't had the time to write more of these writings.
But now that I've said that, I have to be a bit honest with you here as well: I've been running ads on my Reddit class and as a result more people have been getting these writings. There is a part of me that wants to refrain from writing every day to not bombard people's inboxes when they subscribed for one kind of a writing. Perhaps I'll work on that in the upcoming weeks and just forget about this refraining.
There's another big thing in my life I'm working on but I'll share that when I have more tangible details to share rather than my speculations. Now that I shared some updates from Billy the person, I have some invitations for you from July Life Coach.
Moving On From Failure
In December (date TBD) my business coaching program is hosting a special kind of a group workshop focusing on moving on without baggage from the past. It is December after all, and we've been having great success practicing letting things out of our heart so we can be lighter and freer.
I am inviting you to apply for TWO openings for non-group members for $100. Who should apply, outside of people who already know Billy and the kind of work / group workshops he hosts? If you:
- are hyper-conscious of failure
- have fear of moving forward
- worry about the best decision to make
- went through a lot in the past year
I would love to have you join the workshop. It will be a one of a kind experience that you won't be able to find anywhere else, and I truly mean this. Please reply or email me at billy@julylifecoach.com to express your interest.
Writing Prompt
I just shot a video for college applicants about the importance of writing college essays, which led me to review my 108 prompts. Check out the video here:
I kinda forgot about my 108 prompts but after reviewing it I remembered I'm actually really proud of this particular product. Many people ask me how they can write like me (not because my writings are particularly amazing, it's more about the consistency and the earnestness) and the answer is literally this $5 booklet. Check out my 108 writing prompts below.

Reddit Experience
For some reason my business coaching group started calling this "the Reddit experience" and I kinda like calling it that. What I'm referring to is the upcoming January Reddit co-ramping experience. We're going to spend a few weeks going from 0 to a healthy communicative platform on Reddit together.
I won't just be yapping at you about what to do, I'll be doing it with you in real time. We'll walk through blockers, share our feelings, and experience what it's like to actually work on our creative entrepreneurship. Get the Reddit course by the end of December and you're automatically enrolled into it (if you don't want to participate, that's also fine!).

This is completely unrelated to anything I've talked about in this writing but I have had some friends who experienced big losses in the past few months. If you find the time and bandwidth in your day, please join me in thinking of Kevin Irwin and Griffin Hammond.
