30 days can make a huge difference
Let others quit
Fifteen years ago, I made a bet.
I bet I'd receive a string of good things if I just published something every day.
That could be:
A LinkedIn post.
A tweet.
A video.
A Medium article.
An email.
Keeping to that promise wasn't as complicated as it seems.
Sometimes, if I knew I couldn't write much that day, or I was sick, I'd just repurpose an old article, change the title slightly, and re-share it.
The bet paid off.
And the fruits began to appear within weeks, not years.
I'm not about to sit here and tell you why consistency is important.
You know this.
All I want to say is that people underestimate the power of 30 days in a row.
30 days in a row.
It sounds like a lot, but it's doable.
Because this translates to sustained attention.
People see the patterns. They develop a picture of you. They feel trust.
And it's in trust repeated where opportunities lie.
Most don't have the foresight to go there. They quit when they don't see immediate results.
They find excuses:
Ai ruined it.
Social media is too saturated (I thought this 12 years ago)
No one reads anymore.
They're all excuses. I know this, because I can still entertain these thoughts.
But you're reading this. You know writing is in demand.
I had all these worries, but the writing machine still continues to bear fruit.
It's brought me:
Confidence
Freedom
More impact and a sense of purpose
Mental wellbeing
Discipline
And more.
And this is only the beginning...
If you'd like an unfair advantage as a writer, you might like my Online Writing Alchemy course.
It's all the juicy stuff about writing to grow an audience fast that I learned over 15 years.
You're investing to save years of potentially wasted time. That's a deal.
