The Growth Letter by Tim Cakir - Issue #9

May 20, 2020

Hi Guys,

Bit late this week but here is my newsletter. I am grateful for the feedback you guys give me on making this newsletter more useful for you each edition.

After I received some great feedback from one of the subscribers here, I would like to inform you guys that I have created a new section called Good Follows. This section will have social media profiles, blogs, websites, forums and anything that I think is relevant to follow. I hope you enjoy this new section and if you would like to suggest a Good Follow, Good Read, Tool or any news, please do not hesitate to reply to the newsletter and I would be more than happy to include your recommendations on here.

Hope you will enjoy this issue of the newsletter and please do share and invite others to subscribe to it.

All the best!

Highlights

Launched a new site on a different format ;) Its still version #1 of the site but you will have my recommendations on books, blogs, podcasts, my personal productivity stack, interesting websites and some other cool content will be available for you on my new site.

Looking for feedback on this as well.
