You'll fail if you're not willing to wait.
It took me 8 months to get to $25,000 per month as a writer.
I spent the first 4 months writing for free. Pay your dues.
I promise it will pay off.

You have 2 choices in life:
1) Build someone else’s dream
Help them sell. Help them build. Help them create
2) Build your own dream
Sell a product. Create a course. Build a business
Someone is always making big money.
That person might as well be you.

It just means I enjoy my own company more than yours.

How I find endless writing ideas (The 3 R's):
1. Reframe someone else’s idea
2. Recall something you observed
3. Reflect on your past experiences
Idea aren't hidden, they're ignored.
Train your mind to see the obvious.

Great leaders don’t care if you follow them.
They follow their internal compass with extreme conviction.
Even if it points where no one else will go.
Lead yourself before you lead others.
Be your first ‘follower’.

Comedy for timing
Lyrics for emotion
Movies for pacing
Poetry for depth
Turn mindless entertainment into education.

How to be a creative thinker (proven system):
1) Read widely to consume ideas
2) Write slowly to connect the dots
3) Edit carefully to clarify your thinking
Creativity isn't magic. It's a practice.

It’s never too late to start writing online.
It took me 2 years to raise my annual income from $42,000 to $500,000+.
If I had started at 16, I could’ve done this by 18.
If you start at 40, you can do it by 42.
2 years of hard work is better than 40 years of miserable work.

I've written every day for 3 years.
The best writing tips I've found:
Less is more. Use active voice. Be clear, not clever. Write like you speak. Facts tell, stories sell
And remember, writing thrives in clarity, not complexity.

A persuasive writing framework I borrowed from Alex Hormozi:
1. Wrong belief
2. Why it’s wrong
3. Right belief
4. Proof it’s right
Works for threads, video scripts, and newsletters.
