Before you start writing your newsletter, spend some time to reflect on why you're writing it. If you've already started writing, do this exercise too, as it's worthwhile to set your North Star.

A North Star can evolve as you progress towards it. It's ok for your content type, writing style or formatting to change along the way (because experimentation & tweaking is great!) but remember to stay true to your values.
