#PLNameInHat Accountability Check-In 🤝
Hey Reader!
You're getting this email because you signed up for my #PLNameInHat Challenge... And it's the January Check-in!
#PLNameInHat Challenge Rules Reminder
(First of all... Is the challenge name too long? Should I change it? Newsletter Accountability Challenge? PL Apply Challenge? Sourcing ideas - respond to this email with yours if you have a good one!)
Here are the rules of the challenge:
- Purchase a copy of the PL Opportunity Tracker
- Screenshot your progress for the month (example below)
- Reply to this email with 1) the screenshot and 2) your social handle.
- In February I'll also start adding a round up of you guys' check-ins from the previous month, along with some notes and tips so we can hold each other accountable and meet our goals :)
- I'll also post all of our screenshots on social media, with the Top Applier highlighted and tagged!
My January Check-In
January Goal: 8 | January Count: 3
Notes: I wanted to hire a grant writing team to help me apply to more opportunities this year but they ghosted me right after the new year 😭 Failed January. But that's okay!
To improve next month: I'm going to continue looking for an Application VA or agency to work with. I have a flight to Japan tonight so I'm also going to use the 14 hours to organize my own list of PTO and other opportunities to apply so that I can go into February with a pre-made list!
Now it's your turn!
Take your Opps Tracker screenshots and send them to me by replying to this email.
And if you got off to a bit of a rough start like me, remember: it's progress > perfection.
Send me this month's screenshot anyway and start planning now for how you can meet the 8 opps/month goal in February!
I'm not perfect. But we're building this habit together and by the end of 2024, we're going to catch more flights and life changing adventures!
See you in Feb ❤️

So, Reader, The PTO Dashboard officially becomes unavailable in less than 3 hours to make way for the launch of the brand new SeekPTO site in January (So run and save PTO links while you can)! But... what's the difference? What exactly is *new* about SeekPTO? Why am I going through all the trouble of building an entirely new site? I think it's easier to show you. For years, y'all have asked for new features and upgrades and I didn't know how to make it happen. Until now. The dream I have for...

Hey Reader! It's officially been 2 months since I announced the awardees of the Study Abroad Redo Grant (SARG). So... was this a scam? Are these winners real? Did they actually get the money? Are they actually going on their trips? Were they paid actors?! You all asked all of those questions and more during this SARG grant process! Honestly, many of those comments made me laugh (paid actors?! 😆) But all jokes aside, I sympathize with the doubt and skepticism. It's hard to know what's real...
