“I get afraid just like you, but you are so much more than enough. So take off the weight of everyone else’s expectations of you. Know that there is freedom on the other side of your fear. Go out there and be brave with your life because you are worthy of your dreams.”

— Allyson Felix, Mother, Decorated Olympian & Entrepreneur

I. The Power of I Am

“I am” are two of the most powerful words; for what we put after them shapes our reality.

  • I am transforming without self-doubt.

  • I am good enough without external validation.

  • I am taking my time to heal without shame.

  • I am letting go without guilt.

  • I am doing my best without rushing my process.

  • I am slowing down without fear of missing out.

  • I am following my purpose without a co-sign.

  • I am growing without distractions.

  • I am saying no without over-explaining.

II. Just Breathe

Breathe gently, freely, and deeply.

Breathe without fear, without resistance, and without attachment.

Breathe to heal, to visualize, and to rejuvenate.

Breathe to reconnect with this present moment.

Breathe because you can and have the gift of life.

Everything will fall into place. Right now, just breathe.

III. Agent You

Each day is a unique opportunity to show up, do the work, and succeed on our own terms. Gentle reminders to remember:

  • Self-care is a priority, not a reward.

  • Everyone has a purpose — including you.

  • Don't wait — fight for your seat at the table today.

  • Only you can define what success looks like for you.

  • Your tribe can make or break you — choose its members wisely.

  • Learn to let go of busy — glorifying the hustle is a one-way street to burnout.

  • When you're true to yourself, you'll become more confident and overcome imposter syndrome.

IV. What We’re Excited About

Day One is launching their FIFTH fellowship cohort. D1F5 starts on September 12, and you can apply today!

The Day One Fellowship is a community of diverse, talented founders who are all learning, growing, and building new businesses together. Over 200 early-stage founders have joined the Day One Fellowship over the last year. Founders like Vivian who's building Rise and has accelerated her pre-seed fundraise and locked down her co-founder. Founders like David who's building Possible and launched the first cohort of his career discovery platform.

Founders come to Day One to accelerate their entrepreneurial journey. They come to Day One in the midst of ambiguous, confusing stages and leave with direction and momentum - along with connections, relationships, and firm foundations for your business.

The Day One Fellowship starts with a 10-week program but continues as a life-long community. Take the leap to change the trajectory of your entrepreneurial journey.

The Last Words…

“Personality is how you respond on a typical day. Character is how you show up on your worst day. It's easy to demonstrate fairness, integrity, and generosity when things are going well. The real question is whether you stand by those values when the deck is stacked against you.”

— Adam Grant, Organizational Psychologist & Bestselling Author
