“Maximize Your Credit Card Rewards with Everyday Spending” – that was supposed to be the topic of this week’s letter.
This week’s newsletter starts differently compared to the previous issues. Seventeen letters later, I am still experimenting with sounding professional and simply writing in my style, following my thinking.
The point of writing is to communicate my thinking to my audience. The goal is not to gather a million subscribers but to attract my tribe — people who resonate with my thinking, no matter how small the community. These readers consume the content and extract value through daily applications because the words resonate.
Artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT are great, but of what use is the mind when all creativity is delegated to AI?
My goal is not to be a content creator but to create,
not to be an influencer, but to influence.
The newsletters going forward will discuss my interests in Business, Credit, Travel Rewards, and more.
If you are interested in the Art of Leverage, I hope you find your community in these words.
You can Leverage your daily habits to have a more Financially Fit life. Credit is a tool that can help you do that.
Anybody can Build Credit, and Everybody spends money.
You can leverage both for financial freedom with the right strategy.
The Journey:
Build your credit
Leverage good credit to get the right Personal Credit Card
Leverage personal credit to get a Business Credit Card
Leverage business credit to secure Lines of Credit
Use lines of credit for investments and daily living.
Financial Freedom is imperative; Life is more enjoyable when you’re not worried about survival.
When your survival needs are unmet, it is difficult to strategize and think about saving the world.
Many words in this letter may not resonate, not because they do not apply to you, but rather yet. You need to be mentally and psychologically at the level to process the information. This has nothing to do with your smarts or brain capacity but rather exposure.
No exposure, no development.
Improper exposure, improper development.
There is no growth without exposure, and you are gaining that exposure by educating and raising your awareness level through this letter and other avenues through which you consume content.
You don’t have the answers, nobody does – and that’s ok.
Your path is different, and no one can walk it for you. Whatever it is you want to do, you just have to start.
You learn to sell by selling
You learn to execute by executing
You learn to run a business by running a business
You get the message: no one will do it for you.
Inputs lead to output, and feedback is valuable data.
Learning how not to do something is valuable – that’s progress.
The world rewards only those who execute, so go out there and “Just do it.”
As you can see, this letter is not very organized. It has suddenly become my brain dump of scattered thoughts and ideas, and I am releasing it this way. The true value of this is the freedom to express my thoughts.
I hope the readers find value in this work; if not, I will keep writing regardless. Writing is therapeutic for me, and I am excited to explore this new journey and approach to writing.
P.S. Regardless of how this is received, it’s already been successful because I wrote what I wanted.
My journey with Credit started due to my love for travel.
Travel can be expensive, and I needed a way to fund my travels without paying out of pocket. In the last 2 years, I have taken over 100 flights and saved over $200,000 in free travel.

Nonetheless, thank you for reading this far; I appreciate your time.
Until next week, stay curious.
