💡 GLOSSARY OF GROWTH

Here’s a new section where I’ll define three terms in each of our verticals: tech/career, politics/social justice and mindset/self-development.

TECH — MVP: This is not a sports term in this sense. The Most Viable Product is the most pared-down product version that can still be released. An MVP has just enough features to satisfy early customers and provide feedback for future development.

SOCIAL JUSTICE — Upward Social Mobility: Upward social mobility refers to the process by which individuals or families move to a higher social or economic position than where they started. It reflects the capacity of a society to offer its members equal opportunities to improve their life circumstances.

SELF-DEVELOPMENT — Hormesis: Hormesis is a biological phenomenon where a beneficial effect results from exposure to low doses of an otherwise toxic agent. This concept suggests that certain levels of stress or exposure to toxic substances can have positive effects on the body, such as enhancing stress resilience.

If you’re looking into content creation, this free template is a great start to help you build your content calendar. It goes along with this video explanation. The video walks you through how to use/build the content calendar by breaking down your content pillars and distributing your content across channels. I think this is an excellent resource, that you can easily customize, whether you’re a new content creator or a veteran.
